8. Steamed buns

"Heji", also called "hair extension", is a traditional wedding token in China. The symbolic meaning of "knot" is that husband and wife are harmonious and United forever. The specific operation mode of "knot hair" has been different in past dynasties. In the pre-Qin, Qin and Han dynasties, the "knot hair" was that when the bride was at her parents' home, the groom personally untied the bride's wedding vows, that is, tied the ribbon of her hair and tied it again after combing her hair.

After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, both men and women cut off a little hair and tied it into a "bun", which was usually kept for the bride immediately. There is a cloud in the poem "Midnight Song" written by a female poet in the Tang Dynasty: "As long as the cloud is cut, Lang will also make hair. No one asks, tie a knot. " Is a description of this practice.

The world often uses "knot hair" and "knot bun" as pronouns of husband and wife combination, and even refers to "original match" (also called "yuan match") husband and wife, which means that it is of great significance for husband and wife to respect and love each other.
