Getting married is a major event worth remembering in life, but in Nanjing, the provincial capital, if you don’t have a straightforward temper and a generous drinking capacity, you may have "difficulties" on your way to welcoming your bride. Three days before the wedding, the groom has to host A "warm house wine", Nanjing people who are good at drinking rice wine will have fun on this day and give the groom the blessing he deserves. Although times are constantly changing, wedding customs remain traditional: pressing the bed, welcoming the bride, and returning home.
There are many turning points in a person's life. Making the right choice at every crossroad is the process by which we embrace happiness. In the long journey of life, marriage is definitely a first-class event. A beautiful marriage can not only bring you a colorful life, but also allow the family lineage to be passed down well. In the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the power of family inheritance is very strong, and having children is regarded as a first-class event. Therefore, the older generation is also very particular about marriage customs.
To be a qualified Nanjing son-in-law, you must possess two things: straightforwardness and a capacity for drinking. Frankness is a human character trait. It can be said that a straightforward person is welcome everywhere. The amount of alcohol may be a joke, but there is a saying in Nanjing's wedding customs that "three bowls should not be placed on the table, and ten bowls should not be supported on the wall." The bowl is filled with rice wine.
Although today's people are more accustomed to fast food culture, they like to drink some refreshing and refreshing beer and feel the pleasure of carbon dioxide accumulating in the throat and being ejected. But in Nanjing, only one kind of wine can be included in the "hot house wine" before marriage: rice wine. The groom should entertain members of the groom's family and his friends at the banquet, and repay his parents' upbringing by drinking heavily.
The wedding day is chosen three days after the "warming wine". At this time, the groom is already a little "tippy", but in order to ensure that the wedding continues, the groomsmen must step forward. When welcoming the bride, you have to knock on the door, and the woman’s questions are very tricky. Once you answer the question incorrectly, all the groomsmen will be punished on behalf of the groom. After a round, it is common to do six or seven push-ups. Returning home three days after the wedding is an ancient custom that exists in many places. However, in Nanjing wedding customs, the groom needs to accompany his wife to the market early in the morning to buy fresh pork, fish, chicken legs, and ribs as gifts to his parents-in-law to complete the homecoming ceremony.
