In ancient times, the wedding night was called a wedding.

Wedding ceremony is an important ceremony in ancient weddings, similar to the present toast. It is a kind of melon, commonly known as bitter gourd, which tastes bitter and can't be eaten. Couplets are made by folding a 30 into two halves, each with a wine in it, and the bride and groom each drink a 30.

Divided into two parts, symbolizing that the husband and wife were originally two bodies, and the line was connected with the handle, symbolizing that the two were connected by the wedding, so they were divided into two parts and then merged into one.

Newlyweds drink together, because the taste is bitter and the wine is bitter. Drinking the bitter wine in the middle indicates that married couples will also suffer more. At the same time, it also symbolizes husband and wife, like this, which are integrated and tightly tied together.

The ceremony of tying the knot began in the Zhou Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, the wine set that was broken into two pieces was replaced by two wooden cups. After the bride and groom drink together, throw the cup under the bed. If the two cups are tilted up and closed, it means that men are unstoppable and yin and yang are harmonious, which is indeed a good thing.

And the etiquette of tying the knot has also been changed to drink a glass of wine. Whether you tie a knot or drink a glass of wine, you can't do without colored thread, that is, tie the knot on the handle or cup foot with red or green silk rope.

Since then, this kind of silk rope has evolved into a ceremony of tying the rope. This custom probably originated in the Tang Dynasty, from which the saying that a thousand miles of marriage is a thread led.

Nowadays, the red scarf ties neither feet nor hands, only the bride and groom hold one end and lead each other into the bridal chamber. So tying the thread together is called a red scarf or a red and green scarf.
