Introduction of ancient royal wedding

There was a set of strict procedures for ancient weddings, which were called "Six Gifts", including receiving lottery tickets, asking names, receiving names, collecting levies, inviting guests and welcoming people. The wedding in ancient times was very important, because the ancients often said: "There are three unfilial, and the last one is the biggest", which means that sons must combine new words to continue their blood. Marriage is the premise of raising offspring and respecting ancestors, so wedding is an appropriate ceremony and must be taken seriously. Let's take a look at this article about ancient royal weddings.

Introduction to the ancient royal wedding 1 The emperor is noble and dignified, and he is the supreme ruler of the empire. His marriage involves not only personal feelings, but also political interests and family continuity. In China, a mother instrument is the most basic requirement for a queen. Few people can meet this standard, which depends on their family background, personality, appearance, and of course, they are good at poetry and calligraphy. If you married a king in ancient times, a grand wedding is inevitable. For example, the marriage of the last Chinese emperor Puyi, 19 16, caused a sensation in Beijing.

The emperor was married and obeyed the six rites; Originated from the Duke of Zhou, the six rites can be divided into accepting gifts, asking names, accepting gifts, telling dates and welcoming relatives. This is an ancient standard procedure for marrying a wife, which should be followed as a royal family. The emperor is rich all over the world, and the bride price for his father-in-law is naturally not a small sum. Take the bride price of Puyi wedding in Qing Dynasty as an example, which includes hundreds of kilograms of gold and silver, 20 jade articles, 4 jade handles, a set of dragon and phoenix enamel plates, celebrity calligraphy and painting, etc. However, the emperor did not personally send the bride price, but generally asked his own personal eunuch to send it on his behalf.

The emperor is expensive, but he also wants to eat fireworks, so "entering the bridal chamber" naturally has to follow. However, the emperor's entrance to the bridal chamber is different from that of the people. He will temporarily set up a house as a bridal chamber and need to return to the palace after his first night of marriage.

In ancient times, all countries practiced the imperial system, and now many countries still practice this system. For example, Britain, an ancient kingdom, is an ancient empire with a royal system of 2000 years. The ancient royal wedding is also a matter of great interest to the people. On 20 1 1 year, Prince William married a commoner Kate Middleton in London. The normal wedding lasted five hours, and * * * completed ten traditional ceremonies, and finally ended with a "kiss on the balcony".

Introduction of Ancient Royal Wedding 2 It played a leading role in the evolution of China's past weddings and became the main mode of weddings. In the "troubled times" of the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, people rushed to get married because of war, unstable environment, too many people and so on, instead of completely following the six rites procedure. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the social stability and economic development, weddings became more complicated. Later, because it was too busy and inconvenient, it was simplified. By the Southern Song Dynasty, the related contents were merged, from six rites to three. The first of the six rites is accepting talents. Acceptance is to discuss marriage, propose marriage, give gifts, propose marriage, choose a spouse, etc. That is, the man's family asked to tie the knot with the woman's family.
