Traditional wedding customs: what does the bride bring?

When the bride is about to leave after marriage, both the girl and uncle should bow to their parents and say goodbye. This situation makes people feel sad and tearful, and it is easy to wipe it with a handkerchief. Once upon a time, the bride cried outside the village when she got married. It is said that the bride's tears will bring nectar to the crops. Once an ancient woman got married, especially when she was far away from home, she rarely had the opportunity to see her parents, and the degree of her sadness can be imagined. Nowadays, it is unusual to get married in tears in cities. According to the custom, the bride should wear a handkerchief when she gets married.

In the past, when the bride got married, she had to sit in a sedan chair and wear a "red hijab", but now she usually gets married in the car and wears a "veil". Both "hijab" and "veil" are a kind of consent, which shows and represents the bride's youth, chastity and dignity.

Second, send grandma or accompany the doll to the sea for a wedding.

The person who sits in the red sedan chair with the bride, if accompanied by an aunt or aunt, is called "seeing off grandma"; If the dowry is the bride's niece or nephew, it is called "dowry doll". If there is no escort, put a big bun in the bride's sedan chair and paint it with red flowers, indicating that the bride is not sitting in a lonely sedan chair.

Three sedan chairs don't touch the ground.

When the bride gets married, get on and off the sedan chair, and be careful not to land. The ancients said that when someone got married, the dog star would drop blood. If the bride stepped on the blood of the dog star, she wouldn't have children. Therefore, getting on the sedan chair (car) needs a hug, getting off the sedan chair (car) needs a person's back, and stepping on yellow cloth in the bridal chamber is all this intention.

Si Dian hai da hai wedding service

When the bride and groom come back from the wedding and enter the gate, they should light two bundles of hay that were placed around the gate in advance. Hay is tied with red rope, and there are fried cakes in the grass. Burning hay has three meanings: first, because hay is one of the "five grains", it is lit to wish the five grains a bumper harvest; Second, there are oil cakes in the hay, and the word "cake" means climbing step by step; Third, the string tied with hay is red, and the lit fire is also red, which can ward off evil spirits. Whether it is to ward off evil spirits or pray, red contains strong desire, will and pursuit of life. Life seems to begin with marriage, and a red wedding symbolizes prosperity.

When the groom marries with chopsticks and cups, he should fold some jujube branches from his mother's house, ask for two pairs of chopsticks and two cups, tie them together with red ribbons, wrap them in red silk and take them away.

"Jujube branches" means "having children early" after marriage. A pair of chopsticks and a pair of water cups means that you can eat and drink in pairs after marriage, and you are not poor.
