Excuse me, which four kinds do you mean?

The four-color ceremony represents the sincerity of the man's family to propose to the woman's family. Although it is only four gifts, its moral is very good, expressing the blessing of the man to the relatives of the woman. In many places, due to different customs, the four-color ceremony is also different. For example, in Shandong, China, the four-color ceremony includes four items: vermicelli, meat, wine, chicken or fish, which means good luck.

In ancient times, the four-color ceremony popular everywhere was not exactly the same. For example, in Shandong, people use vermicelli, meat, wine, chicken or fish as four-color gifts, while in Shaanxi, people choose pork ribs, wine, tobacco and lotus as four-color gifts.

Although people's understanding of what four-color ceremony is is not exactly the same, what people want to express is the same, all in order to express mutual respect and sincerity.

Giving gifts to each other in communication is an indispensable communication content in human social life. China people always advocate reciprocity.

Gifts are produced and developed together with a series of other etiquette activities. As we know, this ceremony originated from ancient sacrificial activities. When offering sacrifices, people not only show reverence and awe to God with standardized actions and pious attitude, but also give their most precious and respectful objects (namely livestock) to God.

Perhaps from then on, in the sense of ceremony, there began to be material composition and performance. Instant rituals can take the form of things. Regarding the concept of gifts, some people say that it originated from the "tribute" produced by the merger of tribes in ancient wars, that is, food, slaves and so on sent by conquered peoples on a regular basis. Show obedience to the conquered and beg for their asylum.
