The wedding ceremonies and customs in each period come down in one continuous line and have their own merits. However, the restoration of traditional weddings in China by modern people can be roughly divided into Zhou weddings represented by pre-Qin and Han dynasties, Tang weddings represented by Wei, Jin and Tang dynasties and Ming weddings represented by Song and Ming dynasties.
