What is the name of the traditional wedding in Kaifeng?

On the wedding day, the red word "hi" should be posted at the residence where the wedding reception is held, and the time for picking up the bride should be calculated. The bride should also bring a "sedan chair" to her home, and the bride's family should also give these children red envelopes to win the lucky prize. The man also has to kill the pig and prepare a piece of "meat from his mother", and the bride has to bring "takeaway rice" and "cross the brazier" before she can enter the new house, which means that life is getting more and more prosperous. After that, there will be a ceremony to change the mouth, and both parents will prepare red envelopes for the couple. There are also some "disturbing in-laws" and "making the bed" links, and the scene is very lively.

In some areas of China in the early years, there were matchmakers, also called "visiting media", which was called "small meeting" for the first time. Usually, the man takes some candies and melon seeds to the matchmaker's house, and relatives and friends of both sides chat together. If the other party is interested, meet for the second time, also called "big meeting", and give the woman some gifts, that is, betrothal. After that, the man will send some gifts to the woman on holidays, that is, "visiting relatives." Moreover, before getting married, the man should also prepare a bride price, once to buy clothes for the bride-to-be, usually two clothes and two pairs of shoes, and the second time to buy big items such as home appliances. The woman should also have a dowry, which generally includes bedding and clothes and four pieces of "boxes, tables, cabinets and chairs".

Another wedding custom in Kaifeng is that the bride should "cross the brazier" when entering the door, which symbolizes the bright future. After visiting the bride, she changed her name to "parents", and the old man also gave the couple a red envelope, which is the "change fee". After the wedding reception, relatives and friends began to "find trouble with her in-laws", which made the old couple ugly, but don't be angry, be happy. It is essential to have a "happy bed" in the new house. The groom's family should choose people who have children on both sides and sprinkle some meaningful dried fruits on the bride, which is a symbol of early birth.

The customs in every place are different. The wedding customs in Kaifeng have been simplified, but no matter how it evolves, it is the local people's blessing for the wedding and the beginning of a happy life. We should respect traditional culture and try our best to pass it on.
