Ask for an English introduction of ancient weddings.

The "lucky woman" will take the bride to the sedan chair before she leaves for the groom's house. On her way to the sedan chair, one of her sisters will cover her with a red parasol, and the other sister will throw rice on the sedan chair. There is a sieve and a metal mirror hanging on the back of the car, which is thought to protect the car from evil. The bride must cry to show that she does not want to leave her parents.

Then, when the bride gets into the sedan chair, people will set off firecrackers to drive away evil spirits. Along the way, people tried to avoid any unlucky influence. For example, the sedan chair is pulled heavily to prevent the bride from seeing unlucky sights (such as widows, wells and even cats). When the parade arrives at the groom's house, people will set off firecrackers to welcome the bride. Put a red mat in front of the sedan chair so that the bride won't touch the bare land. At the door, a burning stove and saddle will be set up, and the bride will be asked to avoid or cross them to avoid evil.

Weddings are the focus of attention. The bride and groom were taken to the family altar, and the couple kowtowed to heaven and earth, family ancestors and parents in turn. Then they bowed to each other and were taken to the bridal chamber. The ceremony was held at the director's prompt and the audience's applause.

After that, there will be a grand banquet for relatives and people who help with the wedding. The newlyweds will resume drinking the wedding banquet. Generally speaking, they are asked to cross their arms and sip wine. They will also propose a toast to the guests. Although the groom is embarrassed, the guests will express their blessings to the couple.

Bridal chamber teasing game: After nightfall, teasing game begins. Usually all young men can attend, except the bride's married brother-in-law. These funny and stupid games help to ease the tension, because in ancient times, newlyweds never met before the wedding. Most games require shy couples to act like husband and wife. The festive atmosphere also promotes the close relationship between all family members and the community. After the noisy laughter disappears into the darkness, the groom's mother will do other activities.

Prepare the wedding bed: A "lucky person", usually with a beautiful family, will help to install the wedding bed in the correct position in the new house one day before the wedding. Before the wedding, a "lucky woman" will decorate the bride's bed and sprinkle symbolic and lucky fruits on it. No one is allowed to touch the bed until the couple enters the bridal chamber after the wedding. Then the children will be invited to bed to wish the couple fertility.

Dowry: Usually, the bride's dowry should be sent to the groom's house the day before the wedding. Sometimes the bride's dowry comes with her dowry. Traditional dowry usually includes valuables, such as jewelry, embroidered bedding, kitchen utensils and furniture. In addition to basic and symbolic items, the types of dowry have been changing. For example, decades ago, sewing machines, bicycles and tape recorders were necessities in marriage. Now, they are completely out of date.

Bride's Return: Traditionally, newlyweds will come back to visit the bride's parents one or three days after the wedding. They will be welcomed at the banquet, and it is the groom's turn to be teased by the bride's relatives and friends.

Traditional marriage customs lost their popularity because of the collapse and complexity of feudal marriage customs. However, despite some innovations, traditional marriage can still be seen in rural areas. Nowadays, traditional marriage customs are being revived in some places, which attract many prospective couples.
