Marrying a daughter-in-law in rural areas often involves crossing the brazier. It is dangerous for girls to wear long skirts. Why can't they refuse?

There are many customs and taboos in rural marriage. They were handed down from that time in the old society to the present, and many elderly people pay special attention to these customs, just like in some areas, the bride has to cross a brazier when getting married. This is the ancient etiquette of China. The significance of this custom lies in praying for good luck and avoiding disasters, turning disastrous things into blessings, and crossing the flame to stay away from ominous things.

I hope my family is thriving, and I hope this newly formed couple will live a prosperous life in the future. This custom is reserved in many rural areas of our country, just like a rural wedding I attended before. When the bride and groom walked into their own gate together, they had already prepared a very grand ceremony to cross the brazier to get rid of the bride's bad luck.

In order to protect the family from major disasters, the bride can have a fat son to carry on the family line. The bride and groom are very much looking forward to this sacred and solemn moment, but when others light the brazier, the bride is particularly reluctant. Because the bride was wearing a long skirt and wedding dress at that time, the fire in this brazier was particularly big. It is full of charcoal fire, and the flame is particularly high. Although people have crossed the brazier, they can only see Mars, only symbolically crossing it.

However, this may be to show a warm welcome to the bride. The fire at the wedding I attended was so big that the bride dared not cross it. In the end, she could only let the bride through after the fire abated, but her skirt burned a little. Although there are customs, we should pay attention to safety.
