Hakka weddings in western Fujian are unique. When the men's wedding procession arrives at the women's home, the bride should stand at the door, put on new shoes and stand in a rice screen with gossip and Tai Chi patterns, which is called "crossing the rice screen". This is a symbol of leaving the soil (wealth) of her mother's family to start a business in her husband's family. Then the bride was carried out of the house, and when she got on the bus, her brother threw a bowl of water on the car to show that the married woman threw water. At this point, the bride will cry. After arriving at the man's house, the bride should cross the hot charcoal stove to show "wealth". After that, the wedding procedure begins.
