Knowledge expansion:

The custom of "poking at the window" means that at the wedding, a boy who can say blessing words holds three red chopsticks and smashes the red paper stuck on the window, and at the same time says something to wish the couple an early birth and many children. This custom is mainly distributed in northern China, especially in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other provinces.

There are several different views on the origin of this custom. One theory is that this custom originated from the ancient divination custom. In ancient times, people used various methods to predict the fertility of new people, including beating red chopsticks on the window. This practice is considered as a way to predict fertility, because red chopsticks represent yang and windows represent yin. By tapping the red chopsticks on the window, we can predict whether the couple's yin and yang are harmonious and whether they can give birth to healthy children.

Another way of saying this is that this custom originated from the ancient "opening ceremony". In ancient times, when newlyweds moved into their new homes, they would hold some ceremonial opening ceremonies, including smashing red chopsticks on the windows. This practice is considered as a ritual to pray for a happy marriage and the early birth of your son. At the opening ceremony, people will knock on the window several times with red chopsticks, symbolizing opening the window to welcome good luck and happiness.

In addition, there are some sayings that the custom of "poking windows" originated from the ancient ceremony of "drilling wells". In ancient times, people dug wells in their new homes, which could bring clean water and wealth. At the well-drilling ceremony, people will tap the window several times with red chopsticks, symbolizing opening the window to welcome clean water and wealth.

No matter what the origin of this custom is, it has become a traditional wedding custom in northern China. Today, this custom is still widely circulated and continued, and has become a part of China culture.
