In ancient times, the marriage of the eight-carried sedan chair, why now do not follow this custom?

In ancient times, people were married to the bride price and eight-carried sedan chair into the door, but now there is no such custom, mainly because of these three reasons.

First: the idea is not so traditional. In fact, in ancient times, people want to eight-carried sedan chair for two reasons, one is the bride in the wedding day, can not use the feet touch the ground, otherwise it will bring bad luck into the door; the second is in order to have face, after all, in ancient times, the status of the woman is low, if married to the past is certainly to be a beautiful, so that they raise their eyebrows, so the general wife is eight-carried sedan chair from the front door in, and do concubines are Walk side door in, the sense of ceremony will be relatively poor, this is the ancient hierarchy evolved. But nowadays society is very democratic, so women also have the right to make their own choices, and feel that there is no need to do these false, make it simpler and better, so this is one of the reasons.

Secondly, it is labor-intensive. You know, in ancient times, the eight-carried sedan chair is an extremely scenic thing, but nowadays people gradually forget this custom, for one thing, because it is too labor-intensive, a sedan chair to eight people can lift, back and forth is not enough to toss, and sedan chair can not be put on top of the things, walking back and forth is very delayed, unless it is very close to the place, or find the kind of specialized sedan chairmen have to spend A lot of money, equal to the burden of the wedding, so after thinking about it, many people may only use the Chinese wedding dress and etiquette ceremony, this point is directly omitted, otherwise because the journey is too long, delayed the auspicious time is not good. And now the bride's weight is not consistent, the ancient sedan chair is not possible to mass production, in case of breakage in time is another expense, so more is better than less.

Third: choose a more convenient way. In fact, in ancient times, the earliest people were married in the evening, just to pay homage to the pleasantries for a while, the night directly into the cave, but because and the royal flush, so it was changed to the daytime, then if the daytime in the street in the sedan chair back and forth is actually a waste of time, and now the times are constantly advancing, there is no need to sit in the sedan chair with a car such a fast means of transportation, but in general, this is also regarded as A sense of ceremony of marriage, if it is valued, it is also possible to use this way in the marriage, after all, this is a lifetime on a thing.
