Mother Chen, who lives in the next street, is getting married today, and Xiangxiang’s mother specially took her five-year-old Xiangxiang to see her bride. Xiao Xiangxiang had never seen such a scene and was curious about everything inside and outside. Before the bride's car arrived, Xiangxiang saw the stove and tiles at the entrance of the first floor and felt very fresh. Her mother explained This was for the bride to step on later. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Xiangxiang heard that he was about to step on the tiles, he immediately wanted to step on the tiles. Fortunately, his mother had the sharp eyesight to stop him, otherwise he would not know what to do when the bride arrived. That’s great! And after all, why does the bride have to step over the stove and step on the tiles before passing through the door? It is not disrespectful to do so. In ancient wedding customs, when the man first asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman and obtained her consent, he would provide the woman's horoscope to the man to see if there were any inconveniences or evil spirits. This procedure was also It's called "asking for a name." However, if a woman is born in a certain year and month, she is called "Broken Moon". The predecessors described it as: "Broken bones in the body lead to a decline in the family", also known as "Broken Bones". If a woman is born in a broken moon plus a specific At this time, life will be particularly "hard", ranging from the loss of family property to severe punishment to parents-in-law, husband, and children. In Taiwanese, "scissor handles and iron broomsticks" describe such people. The calculation of whether men and women are born in a broken moon is different, but if a girl is born in a broken moon, the man will have some taboos, so usually the marriage will not go smoothly. For the sake of the daughter's lifelong happiness, parents of girls born on the broken moon usually lie about the wrong birth to avoid the fact that they were born on the broken moon. Of course, the man’s family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If the other party refuses to say it clearly and has such doubts, he will deliberately put a symbolic tile at the door of the bride’s house before the bride steps on it. At the same time, the matchmaker will chant "Broken tiles are not broken bones" to resolve the problem. In fact, it’s not just the bride who has to step on the tiles. If the groom is born in the breaking month, he will also be against his wife’s family. That’s why there is a saying that “when a man breaks the moon and breaks his wife’s family, he breaks the mother-in-law’s head.” But boys born in the breaking month The plot seems to be relatively minor. As long as the in-laws are informed in advance, and the tiles are broken at the door before going to the bride's house to get married, there is usually no need to hide it. However, there is also a saying that stepping on the tiles is to hope that the woman will have a child smoothly after entering the house and will soon add a child to the family. As for crossing the stove, it will bring good luck to the husband's family; in addition, because marriages in ancient times were based on the words of the matchmaker, the husband's family had no way to confirm the bride's external conditions in person before. By moving the brazier, you can observe whether the bride's limbs are agile and agile, and whether she is lame or unable to walk. You can also have a last chance to regret before going to the bridal chamber. In fact, there is a taboo that the bride cannot step on the threshold before entering the groom's house. The threshold of the door represents the face of the family and the head of the family. Stepping on the threshold is disrespectful to the elders, so some groom's family members place stoves. When placing the tiles, the tiles and the stove will be placed very skillfully close to the inside and outside of the threshold, so as to ensure that the bride will never accidentally step on the threshold when she steps over the stove and has to step on the tiles. However, there are still differences in this custom between the north and the south. Generally, in the south, no matter whether the woman was born on the broken moon or not, in order to prevent the bride from not knowing it or deliberately providing the wrong birth date, stoves and tiles will still be prepared; however, in the north, it is less common, unless The bride admits that she was born in the first month, otherwise most people will omit this step, because if she really hides and causes harm to her husband's family, it will not be a good thing for the daughter-in-law who will live in this family for the rest of her life.
