is the door curtain hung by the man or the woman? It is a traditional wedding custom in our country to hang the door curtain, which is usually hung by a little boy. After hanging the door curtain, the man's family needs to give the child a red envelope, which means to have a baby early.

First, the custom of hanging the curtain at the wedding

On the day of the wedding ceremony, the bride's dowry should be sent to the man's house first, and then the bride's brother will accompany the bride and the people who are seeing her off to the man's house. After the bride and groom entered the new house, the bride's brother took out a curtain and hung it on the door of the new house. The curtains are mostly red or pink, embroidered with mandarin ducks or beautiful peaks, which are colorful and very festive.

After the bride's younger brother hangs the curtain, the man will send a small red paper bag as wedding money. The bag contains four yuan, six yuan and eight yuan, but all of them are even numbers, which means that the newlyweds want to grow old together in pairs.

Third, the person who hangs the door curtain for marriage

Hanging the door curtain is necessary for a little boy, not just for a child. Its purpose is twofold: 1. To ward off evil spirits, 2. To let the new couple have a baby early and have a boy, which is caused by the so-called traditional concept of son preference.

Fourth, the story of getting married and hanging the curtain

During the Western Han Dynasty, Xiongnu spread everywhere. In order to keep the border inviolable and urge Xiongnu to pay tribute to Hanwang, Hanwang adopted intermarriage to achieve the goal of harmony between the two countries. Wang Zhaojun, the imperial concubine of the harem, invited her to marry the Xiongnu in the north. Hanwang was very happy, and immediately recognized her as an adopted daughter, and prepared a very rich dowry for her, ranging from industrial products, grain seeds, textile paintings to jewelry and clothes, and gold and silver treasures.

Zhao Jun is a talented woman with courage and calculation. It took her three whole days to check these dowries one by one, and then she said to Hanwang, "Father, there is still one thing missing." Hanwang thought: you are my adopted daughter for the sake of marriage. It is said that this dowry is already very rich. Why are you still short of things? So he asked what else was missing?

Zhao Jun said, I heard that the houses on the grassland are not as good as the palace here. Although the house has doors, it doesn't hang curtains, so people can see the house at a glance outside, which is inconvenient. Why don't the father give the curtain of the palace to his daughter, so that it is convenient for the child to cover the house and block the door; Secondly, my daughter looks at the curtain every day, so she misses her hometown every day. Hanwang felt very reasonable after hearing this, so he immediately sent someone to make a door curtain, and ordered an envoy to escort the door curtain and hang it on the door for Zhaojun on the wedding day.

It is said that later, when Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Songzan Gambu, the Tibetan leader, the King of the Tang Dynasty also asked the prince to personally present Princess Wencheng and put up a curtain for Princess Wencheng on the wedding day. In this way, the custom of the bride's younger brother hanging the door curtain has been handed down. In recent years, although the wedding is simple, the curtain is still hung, and the bride's brother must be hung. If the bride has no younger brother, she should also invite a little boy from her family to hang up.

There are many wedding customs in China, and there are some differences in each place. If new people don't know the local customs, they'd better ask their elders before preparing for the wedding.
