How beautiful can a Chinese wedding be?

Chinese style invitations are mostly red, often decorated with festive dragon and phoenix patterns, supplemented by traditional China crafts such as paper-cut hollowing out and buckles, which are beautiful and generous.

In the Book of Rites, the form and significance of China's ancient stupefaction ceremony are described in detail: "Those who are stupefaced by the ceremony must conform to the interests of the two surnames and continue to serve the temple from top to bottom, so the gentleman is more important. So the host entertained the guests in the temple, asking for names, Najib, recruiting soldiers and inviting them.

Entering, leaving, ascending and obeying the temple, so respecting precepts is also unconscious. Wedding is one of the essences of traditional culture in China. Chinese wedding, red sedan chair, mighty guard of honor, worshipping heaven and earth, lifting the hijab, wearing a "crowned gown" and "pursuing cultural roots and attaching importance to traditional folk customs" have become the new "fashions" of modern people. This is China's wedding.

Wedding origin

According to legend, the earliest marriage and wedding in China began with Fu's marriage and Nu Wa's matchmaking. As "Jing Hua Yuan Wai Ji" said: "There was no difference between men and women in ancient times, and Tai Hao began to set up a wedding ceremony, with the skin of the couple as the gift." Since then, the couple's skin (paired deerskin) has become one of the classic wedding gifts. After that, in addition to the "wedding ceremony", we have to "tell our parents".

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were festivals of "before welcoming the court" and "before welcoming the court". The Zhou Dynasty was an era of etiquette. At that time, a complete set of wedding etiquette was gradually formed. There are detailed regulations in "Yili", which combine the whole set of rituals into "six rituals". Since then, the production of the Six Rites Wedding has been the template of the traditional wedding in China, which has been passed down to this day.
