Exquisite and taboo of Chinese wedding

In ancient China, it was forbidden to marry with the same surname, and in China, the wedding taboo was also very strict. Let's talk about some common taboos about Chinese weddings.

In folk customs, marriage is the best combination of two surnames and the most important event in life. The quality of marriage is crucial to the happiness of both parties. So there are many taboos about marriage.

1, raw flowers are easy to wither, so marriage is taboo, only flowers and pomegranate can't help. Because the red petals of the former are opened from the center of the leaf, its shape can mean that a leap girl is married and sincerely waiting for her husband, while the latter means that her children and grandchildren are full.

On the wedding day, when the bride goes out, the aunt should avoid it and can't send it away. Because "Gu" and "Solitude" are homophonic, and "Sister-in-law" and "Sweep" are homophonic, which is unlucky.

On the wedding day, when the bride leaves her family, everyone should cry as soon as possible. "Cry, don't cry, don't send" is a taboo.

4. Three days after marriage, according to the wedding etiquette, the couple must return to their husband's house before sunset that day and cannot stay overnight. In case you can't go home for special reasons, the husband and wife should sleep separately, so as to avoid the bride's blood colliding with her family during the honeymoon and making it unlucky.

Brides should avoid wearing "old shoes" on wedding auspicious days. All wedding shoes, embroidered shoes and evening shoes should be brand-new. If you are afraid that new shoes are hard and uncomfortable, wear high-quality soft leather, and the size may be a little loose and padded. Don't wear high heels.

6, the bride should be careful not to step on the groom's shoes, there will be shame.

7. When the bride enters the man's house, it is forbidden to step on the wedding threshold and should cross it.

8, the bride's clothes should not have pockets, so as not to take away her family's wealth.

9. After going to bed, on the eve of the wedding, the prospective groom should avoid sleeping alone in the new bed and find an underage boy to sleep in the new bed with the groom. Marriage etiquette calls it "trapped in an empty shop, not dying, but also dying", which is considered as an ominous sign.
