The ritual process of a prince marrying a wife in the Tang Dynasty includes: six gifts, makeup urging and marrying a husband.

1, six-fold gift

Six rites are the etiquette that must be followed when talking about marriage in ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, this etiquette was also well passed down. These six rites have a long history, spanning several dynasties. Modern weddings are also carried out according to the above contents.

2. Make up

In the Tang Dynasty, when the groom's wedding procession came to the bride's door, they all shouted in unison: "Bride!" At this time, the bride's house is often closed, which is to put the groom at the checkpoint to prove that the wife will not simply open the door carelessly. So the groom will arrange for her husband's family to stand at the gate and shout together until the door is pushed open.

3. Obstacle car

In the Tang Dynasty, the wedding banquet was originally scheduled for dusk, and it was not until the middle Tang Dynasty that someone proposed to change the time to early morning. Because there are too many things to deal with at the wedding. After picking up the bride, the woman will gather a group of people to block her way. As long as she stays to buy the passage, she can let the bride and groom pass.

In the Tang dynasty, the bride's sedan chair arrived at the groom's door, and all the female guests present would beat the groom with sticks. The practice here is to tell the groom not to bully the bride in the future.
