There is no cloud or rain in the sky, and there is no marriage on the ground. In traditional marriage, both men and women should tie the knot through a matchmaker. Matchmakers can take the initiative to match men and women, or they can be entrusted by others to make them beautiful. There is also a saying called "parents' orders, matchmakers' words", which is the truth.
Second, approve the eight characters and push the zodiac.
The ancients attached great importance to marriage. If a man wants to marry a daughter-in-law, he first obtains her horoscope from her home, and then gives it to a fortune teller to see if it matches his son, commonly known as "Wu Jia Jia". If a woman's name is Foucault or conflicts with her son's horoscope, two families cannot form an in-laws relationship. You can also put the post with the woman's birthday at the man's house, Buji. Within three days, both men and women can become in-laws if the family is safe. There are many folk songs about pushing the zodiac, which are consistent: the green rabbit and yellow dog have existed since ancient times, the red horse and antelope live long, the black mouse and yellow cattle flourish, the green cow and black pig are happy, and the dragon and chicken are longer ... The snake and rabbit must be rich, and so on. Out of step are: white horses are afraid of green cattle, sheep and mice are a burden, snakes and tigers are like knives, dragons and rabbits are afraid of communication, golden roosters are afraid of jade dogs, pigs and monkeys are not at the end, and so on.
Third, appointment.
Decided, engagement is also called small engagement, which is equivalent to the current wedding. Be sure to use a big post when making an appointment. Hometown people call it a big post or a big post. In addition to the post office, there are letters of appointment, commonly known as marriage letters. Letters of appointment are generally prepared by men. Before the date, all the gifts have been listed as gifts. Men only receive a small part of gifts, commonly known as the first half of gifts. When dating, gold rings can also be used as engagement gifts. On the date, both men and women hold banquets for relatives and friends, and the participants only join in the fun and don't give gifts.
Fourth, give gifts
The most important thing is to give gifts about 20 days or one or two months before marriage. Because of the half-gift at the time of appointment, when all of them are accepted, it is called the second half-gift. Other gifts are listed in the gift list and included in the gift book. There must be cloth, satin, gauze and the like on the gift list. These fabrics are used to sew wedding dresses. The woman's family also asked for some gifts, and prepared a gift book for people to take back. After the gift is delivered, it is not too far away from the wedding day.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) wedding ceremony
On the wedding day, Yanari, male, played music with a cannon and released a sedan chair to celebrate the wedding. The matchmaker led the way, followed by the groom, bridesmaids, sedan chairs, bands and box teams, and they filed in. As soon as the sedan chair arrived, the girl's family greeted it with music and guns. After the wedding procession entered the women's hall, the sedan chair landed and the groom bowed down to his parents-in-law. Under the guidance of the matchmaker, the bridesmaid salutes the ancestral tablets and elders of the bride, and then the bridesmaid takes the bride to the sedan chair. On the sedan chair, the bride usually "cries and marries" to show her attachment to her parents. If you want to go home, you must take another road, which means you can't go back.
Sixth, pay tribute to the church.
On the wedding day, the bride and groom held a ceremony to pay tribute to the bride. The two bridesmaids appeared as "Zan" and "Zan" respectively. The procedure to satisfy the bride's consciousness is as follows:
Zan: The groom is standing in front of the sedan chair.
Tong Zan: Lift the sedan chair and the couple will get up.
Praise: the groom bows (handing over the bride)
Zan: The bride and groom went straight to the front of the drawing room.
Zan: The bride and groom are in place.
Tong Zan: The bride and groom go on a pilgrimage.
Zan: Bow down and burn incense.
Tong Zan: Kneel down, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times,
Then there are the three common worships in TV series: one worships heaven and earth, the other worships Gao Tang, and the husband and wife enter the bridal chamber after two worships.
Seven, make bridal chamber
The main reason for the trouble is that ancient marriages were arranged by parents, and there was no contact between men and women before marriage, and some of them had never even met, let alone understood and knew each other. Now suddenly become husband and wife, it must be very strange, with such a bridal chamber process, you can change the indifferent atmosphere, so that both husband and wife can reduce the feeling of being raw as much as possible, so that the young couple can enter a state of intimacy as soon as possible. Up to now, there is still a saying among the people that the more noisy, the happier, and the third day of marriage is no big or small.
