On the wedding day, the bride's dowry should be sent to the man's house first, and then the bride's brother will accompany the bride and the person who sent the bride off to the man's house. After the bride and groom entered the new house, the bride's brother took out a curtain and hung it on the door of the new house. The color of curtains is mostly red or pink, embroidered with colorful and festive patterns such as Yuanyang playing in the water. After the bride's younger brother hangs the curtain, the man will send a small red paper bag called Qian, which contains four yuan, six yuan and eight yuan, but all of them are even numbers, which means that the newlyweds should pair up and grow old together.

The legend of hanging door curtains began in the Western Han Dynasty, when Xiongnu often invaded the border. In order to keep the border inviolable, the Huns were urged to pay tribute to Hanwang, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yuan adopted the method of intermarriage to achieve the goal of good relations between the two countries. Wang Zhaojun, the imperial concubine of the harem, invited her to marry the northern Xiongnu. Emperor Han Yuan was very happy, and immediately recognized her as his adopted daughter, and prepared a very rich dowry for her, ranging from grain seeds and textile paintings to jewelry and clothing, gold and silver treasures. Zhaojun is a talented woman with courage and calculation. She spent three whole days looking over these dowries one by one and said to Hanwang, "Father, there is still one thing missing." Emperor Han Yuan thought: You are my adopted daughter, for the sake of marriage. Supposedly, this dowry is already very rich. Why are there still things missing? But I asked her in a friendly way what she was missing. Zhao Jun said, "I heard that the houses on the grassland are not as good as the court officials here. Although the house has doors, it does not hang curtains. It is inconvenient for people to see the house at a glance outside. Why doesn't the father give the curtain of the palace door to the child and cover the door for the child's life; Secondly, the child looks at the curtain every day, and he misses his hometown every day. " After hearing this, Emperor Han Yuan felt that it was very reasonable. He immediately sent someone to make a door curtain and ordered an envoy to escort it and hang it on the door on the wedding day.

In this way, the custom of hanging curtains by the bride's younger brother has been handed down. After liberation, people's lives became richer and their purchasing power increased. The curtain in dowry is not only practical, but also has become an ornament. Although the wedding has been simple in recent years, it is still necessary to hang curtains and the bride's brother. If the bride doesn't have a younger brother, please ask a little boy at home to hang up.
