When did the wedding begin?
Wedding, originally a "faint ceremony" of China, belongs to one of the quintessence of China traditional culture. The ancients thought dusk was auspicious, so they married at dusk, hence the name. The etiquette of combining husband and wife is called "faint ceremony". Faint ceremony is one of the five ceremonies, and it is the second milestone in life after the male crown ceremony or the female ceremony. The figure in the Han nationality's faint ceremony picture: Lan Zhi Fangxi.

According to legend, the earliest marriage and wedding in China began with Fu's marriage and Nu Wa's matchmaking. As "Jing Hua Yuan Wai Ji" said: "There was no difference between men and women in ancient times, and Tai Hao began to set up a wedding ceremony, with the skin of the couple as the gift." Since then, the couple's skin (paired deerskin) has become one of the classic wedding gifts. After that, in addition to the "wedding ceremony", we must also "tell our parents"; During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were festivals of "before welcoming the court" and "before welcoming the court". The Zhou Dynasty was an era of etiquette. At that time, a complete set of wedding etiquette was gradually formed. There are detailed provisions in the Book of Rites, which combine the whole set of ceremonies into "Six Rites", which are called "Three Books and Six Rites" together with the three books (i.e. invitations, gift letters and wedding letters). Since then, the making of the six-ceremony wedding has been the template of the traditional wedding in China, and the marriage system of later dynasties has mostly changed on this basis.
