Ancient marriage custom culture, why did the ancients get married at night?

First, marriage equals fainting, second, there are other processes during the day, and third, it is natural to spend the wedding night! In short, most TV dramas will also shoot the point of getting married at night, which does not violate history.

1. Marriage = dizzy? There is an ancient saying that when men and women get married, they are one yin and one yang, and when they combine to form a new family, they naturally have to wait until yin and yang are compatible. Evening is the most suitable time of the day, and the pronunciation of marriage and fainting is the same, so the time of marriage is dusk. Some people may think that this practice is feudal, but it is also an essential process to choose an auspicious day for marriage. The reason why the ancients did this was to hope that the new people would last for a long time.

2. Get married during the day and get married at night. The process of marriage in modern society is to get married in the morning, and to get married at noon may break up in the afternoon. In the evening, only a small number of relatives and friends are left for the wedding. However, in ancient times, it was absolutely impossible to get married early in the morning, because they didn't have electric lights, so they had to wait until it was completely dawn to wash and dress the bride. The brides are all packed up, and they can't be carried away until the groom comes to deliver the bride price.

When I get to my husband's house, there are still a series of processes to go. After all this is done, it will be dusk, and it is time to get married formally. Some people may ask why these processes take so long. Indeed, we can think it over. In modern transportation and weddings, it is natural, fast and efficient to have a special team to help. But in ancient times, walking depended on horses and sedan chairs were carried by people. Take your time!

The wedding night is usually the first wedding reception in the evening. I think the ancients understood etiquette very well, because everyone was busy at night and anyone could attend. Unlike our wedding at noon now, a short lunch break is not enough, and you may be late for taking a taxi.

However, the most important thing is that the couple can go back to their rooms after welcoming the bride and toasting. The wedding night is naturally a very important moment in life.
