The bride is helped out of the sedan by her family members, drinks sugar water, walks on the red carpet (usually with a rug), and sits on a horse saddle. The bride holds the "demon mirror" in her arms, and the groom walks in front with his bow and arrow. Under the auspices of the guests, after offering incense to the God of Heaven and Earth, they kowtow three times and say "worship to Heaven and Earth". After the ceremony, Quanheren (women with both children) will help the bride into the bridal chamber. The bride must climb the sorghum pocket under the edge of the kang to get on the kang, which is called "one step up". A stool is placed on the Kang. After the bride sits down, the groom lifts off the hijab with a bow. A pair of boys and girls use a pair of white onions to symbolically rub the bride's head, and the whole family "opens the face" (twists the facial hair with a thread) and "tops the head" (changes the hairstyle) for the bride. After the banquet, accompanied by "Labai", they met with the parents-in-law. When offering obeisance to elders among relatives and friends, the recipients will receive the obeisance and money as gifts. A banquet will be held to entertain the relatives of the Song Dynasty. In the evening, the newlyweds eat longevity noodles together. While eating, a boy asks loudly through the window: "Are you giving birth?" The bride must answer: "Sheng", which means to give birth to a child early. In the afternoon of the same day or the next day, the mother's family will pick up the daughter and uncle to go home for a kiss, which is called "returning home". The groom must bow to the elders of the matriarch and give gifts to the minors, which is called "recognizing the elders". Three Days to Visit Mom: Three days after the wedding, the newlyweds return to their parents' home to visit their parents. If they have a sister, they also send gifts to express their love for her. Doing the Single Ninth Festival (some also do the Double Ninth Festival): On the ninth day after the marriage, all relatives from the bride's family and the girl's parents who are willing to go with the bride visit the groom's house, which is called "Single Ninth Festival". For the relatives who are single-nineteen, the newlyweds will bring gifts one by one to thank them, which is called "returning to the family." After the founding of the People's Republic of China, wedding customs gradually developed towards civilization, health and simplicity. The current main etiquette is: Free lovers often entrust relatives, friends, and colleagues to be introducers when clarifying the relationship. If the couple is introduced, the introducer will first arrange a meeting between the man and the woman. After preliminary agreement, the woman, accompanied by the introducer, parents or brother-in-law, will go to the man's house for a blind date. If there is no objection, the date will be determined and the woman will have an engagement dinner at the man's house. On that day, the woman was accompanied by her parents, brother-in-law, and introducer, and the man hosted a banquet in honor of her. Parents should give the girl money and clothes as gifts. The gift money is mostly 110 yuan (which means the marriage is successful and 100% good). Later, every festival, the woman would be taken to her home to celebrate the festival. After a period of love, go to the local government to register your marriage. Choose an auspicious day (mostly the third, sixth, ninth, or holiday of the lunar calendar) to hold the wedding. On the wedding day, the groom and the matchmaker usually go to the bride's house to marry her. Wedding tools were mostly horse-drawn carriages in the 1950s, bicycles in the 1960s, hand tractors and trucks in the 1970s, and cars and vans in the 1980s. In the wedding ceremony, in the 1950s, most people worshiped heaven and earth. In the 1960s and 1970s, both men and women bowed three times to the statue of Chairman Mao Zedong. Since then, no ceremony has been held, but worshiping remains the same. Single Jiuduo will be changed to the next day. Wedding rituals such as ringing instruments, carrying blankets, bride's hijab, holding a sedan chair, walking on a red felt, riding a saddle, climbing a beam bag, smearing one's face with white onions, opening one's face, and wearing one's head were abolished in the mid-1960s. Other rituals are still followed in rural areas. There are fewer and fewer betrothal gifts, more and more dowries, and more and more color TV sets, washing machines, radio cassette players, modular furniture, etc. are given as companions. Hiring a daughter has become a big burden for parents, and weddings are becoming more and more ostentatious, comparison-making, and grand arrangements.
