The red sedan chair, the mighty guard of honor, the worship of heaven and earth, and the hijab ... The Chinese wedding of "the scholar robe with phoenix crown" has become a new "fashion" for modern people. Next, I collected the pure Chinese wedding process for your reference only, hoping to help you.

Characteristics of Chinese weddings

The traditional wedding in China is loved by people, especially by many foreign couples, because of its simple, thoughtful, festive and warm publicity atmosphere, which is also the concentrated embodiment and essence of the wedding customs in northern China. Sedan chair is the core part of traditional wedding. Divided into four people and eight people. There are also dragon sedan chairs and phoenix sedan chairs. Besides bearers, there are gongs, umbrellas and fans. Generally, the sedan team is as small as a dozen people and as many as dozens of people, which is very spectacular.

There are not many sedan chairs now, so you must make an appointment in advance if you want to hold this kind of wedding. Some wedding companies can provide such services. Choose a place in the park or avoid the main road and leave enough space for your sedan chair, because the scene of jumping sedan chair will attract a large number of tourists and cause traffic jams. The couple's clothes are crowns and garlands, or robes and mandarin jackets. Accompanied by the bridesmaid and led by HongLing, the groom, the bride wearing a red veil slowly boarded the float. After arriving at the sedan chair, the bride changed into a sedan chair.

Chinese wedding custom

1, sedan chair set off

Accompanied by gongs and drums, suona and lion dance, the sedan chair began to depart. Traditionally, the bride should be carried out by her brother and put in a sedan chair. Modern people are mostly only children, and they can only be done by cousins or groomsmen, usually with their backs to each other. At present, the distance of sedan chair is only a form. Unless the two families are very close, it will be very tiring to carry them from one end of Shanghai to the other. However, it is customary to give a red envelope to the sedan chair, otherwise it will intentionally shake the sedan chair and make the bride "feel better."

2, across the brazier and archery

In ancient ceremonies, the bride crossed the charcoal basin in a sedan chair, but now it is usually the bride who crossed directly with the help of the matchmaker. Then, before getting off the sedan chair, the groom will draw a bow and shoot three red arrows at the sedan door to drive away the evil spirits that the bride may be contaminated along the way.

3. Meet the bride and have a drink

After the brazier, someone wants to cross the saddle, indicating that the newlyweds are safe after marriage; Then, the groom picked up Sipa on the bride's head with a weight wrapped in red cloth. At this time, it is time for couples to pay a formal New Year call. The most important part after the meeting is not toasting, but offering tea to the high halls of both sides. Usually at this time, a group of people are in tears, the scene is touching, and there is deep affection in the warm holiday atmosphere.

4, empathy and thanks to the media

In modern weddings, many things that should be in the bridal chamber are moved out for display. For example, tying the hair should be a couple cutting some hair in the bridal chamber and keeping it as a token of the relationship between husband and wife. Now this is a public performance. Later, the mothers of both sides lit dragon and phoenix candles, and the couple exchanged incense books and jewels as keepsakes, and then asked the matchmaker to give them hoofs.
