Why do people in Tianjin get married in the afternoon?

The city of afternoon weddings is one of the few in the country. Even outside the outer ring road of Tianjin, four suburbs and five counties ((now called district) is also the morning to receive the bride, only the city is held in the afternoon wedding banquet, and in the hotel is also the in-laws and the mother's family at the same time to attend the ceremony, usually at about 4:00. At noon the in-laws and the mother's family were in each family to eat happy noodles, happy noodles in advance in the hotel to set a few tables, usually three fresh noodles with marinade, 8 dish yards,. Hotel doorway to paste the word "happy" to show the festivities. After eating happy noodles are ready to pick up the bride to go, hired convoy, arrived at the bride's home, after civilized "difficult" groomsmen (no spoofing), directly to the hotel. The general in-laws package mother's home 2 ~ 4 tables of the wedding banquet money, the mother's other tables are mother's own money.

Tianjin afternoon wedding legend one is anhui junk transported to tianjin, the morning no wedding time, busy loading and unloading goods, both places have the custom of afternoon wedding. Secondly, it is affected by the nine countries rented foreigners to get married in the afternoon. Why will it continue, is that Tianjin is an industrial city, workers are busy at work, only the afternoon off work to go to the wedding, because the selection of auspicious days (preferably lunar and Gregorian are double days) is unlikely to coincide with a public holiday (at that time it was a single day off) so the afternoon ceremony and wedding banquet.

Wedding = female + faint. What does it mean? Wedding, said dusk when the ceremony, so it is called wedding". So Tianjin people get married in the afternoon is a tradition left over from ancient times.

Southerners are usually held in the afternoon wedding, and then at night to eat, while the North is usually the morning wedding at noon to eat, the vast majority of places in the north of the wedding is in the daytime, the night wedding is often regarded as a second marriage.

However, Tianjin is different, because Tianjin's wedding customs are similar to the South, are in the afternoon or evening.

In fact, traditional weddings are held in the evening, the earliest wedding writing "dusk ceremony" is said to be held after dusk, and this custom in Tianjin is the same as in the South, but also with the special history of Tianjin.

The wedding day, or night

The ancients attached great importance to the wedding, from the pre-Qin era, in the "Zhouli" in a variety of clear regulations.

The so-called "wedding" was first written in "dusk", the ancients believe that dusk is an auspicious moment, the woman belongs to the yin, the so-called yang and yin, the wedding ceremony at this time, is the most suitable for the law of yin and yang.

The Baihu Tongyi of the East Han Dynasty describes the wedding ceremony as being performed at dusk, which is why it is called a wedding.

In the Han Dynasty, it is also said that after the darkness of dusk, the people are still at the beginning of their lives.

From the pre-Qin Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the vast majority of weddings are held at dusk after sunset, and this custom has continued until modern times, and even in ancient times, the daytime marriage is not in line with the rules of the wedding behavior.

And the choice of the north in the daytime marriage, mainly in the Qing Dynasty period to change, but the scope is not very wide.

During the Qing Dynasty, there was a strong belief in the so-called "auspicious time", and a large number of Banners chose to get married in the daytime, but not all of them, and if the auspicious time was at night, they could also get married at night.

Emperor Guangxu Empress Yehnala Jingfen, that year is 12:00 pm to leave home until 3:30 am to arrive at the palace.

The Qing dynasty for the pursuit of auspicious time, has reached the point of speechless, and this also makes a lot of people accept the idea of daytime can also be held in the wedding, the modern Western wedding customs into the aftermath, further impact on the traditional wedding customs.

To put it bluntly, the so-called daytime marriage of this "tradition", but also in recent times a couple of hundred years of time only, the real meaning of our traditional wedding is in the evening and the night organized.

Tianjin, located in the north of the southern city

Tianjin, as the gateway to Beijing, but a very special city, Tianjin, the history of the city is in the Ming Dynasty Yongle two years, is the only city in the country have a clear time to build the city, because of the Zhu Di in the south of this launch of the Jingdanzhi become a famous name, meaning "". The city was named after Zhu Di, who traveled south to launch the Pacification Campaign here, meaning " Heavenly Son of Jindu".

After Zhu Di moved north, he moved a large number of Huaixi soldiers and people north to the Tianjin area, and these people became the early residents of Tianjin.

Today's Tianjin dialect is a dialect island, because it is not the same as the surrounding Beijing dialect, but is similar to the dialect spoken thousands of kilometers away in Suzhou, Anhui Province, which also stems from this history.

During the late Qing dynasty, Li Hongzhang was ordered to train a new army in Tianjin, and a large number of soldiers and their families from northern Anhui and northern Suzhou were stationed in Tianjin.

After the disbanding of the Huai army and the Beiyang navy, a large number of soldiers and their families from Jiangsu and Huaihua settled in Tianjin, which greatly increased the proportion of residents from the south in Tianjin, and greatly influenced the language, culture, and customs of Tianjin.

Tianjin is different from the northern part of the wedding customs

In Tianjin wedding, also has its own instructions: dowry on the first day to take over, the afternoon wedding to the grand, the female guests are happy with the word with, four back to the father-in-law to worship.

According to local wedding customs in Tianjin, must come over after 12 noon, the man can go to pick up the bride, before sunset to marry the bride into the door is the best.

Unlike the southern region, Tianjin people organize weddings in the evening, not because of what follow the ancient rituals, after all, Tianjin's cultural heritage and Beijing and other northern cities compared to, or quite a bit worse, and can not be said.

Mainstream said, or because of the previous Tianjin people married, the time is too late.

Tianjin is a port city of land and sea transportation, a lot of workers in modern times during the day to do work, very busy, there is no time to hold any wedding, so they had to delay to the night, and over time has become a local cultural custom.

In fact, each local wedding customs, are different, a hundred flowers bloom is the spring.

Often heard the North said that the South is very strange to get married at night, is the second marriage, and the South feel that the North married during the day in a hurry dish strange, as if they have never heard of the "wedding night," the same argument.

The years have changed, things change, a lot of traditions can follow is a very rare thing, but if you can not follow, it is also something that can not be helped, let's say the former three books and six rituals, most of them are now mutilated.

Whether the wedding is held during the day or at night, it is the custom of each place, and there is no need to have anything to say.

The Tianjin region is in the north, but the local different from other places in the north of the daytime wedding custom, but choose to with the southern people as in the evening wedding, and there is nothing wrong with it, which is also the local culture of Tianjin.

Oh, I really do not know how to Tianjin people are married in the afternoon, there is time to find a chance to go to Tianjin, to find someone there to ask that thing and so on to ask me clearly in answer to your question, okay.

This is the folklore of Tianjin, probably during the day everyone needs to earn money to support the family, can not get out of the way. The only way to get to the top of the list is to have a good time," he said.
