What other customs are there for welcoming brides?

1. Avoid the sound of drums. Since ancient times, people have welcomed brides with blowing and beating, and the drums are matched with the music, and there are special sounding instruments. ? Set off the atmosphere. Weddings everywhere are lively and joyful, and the worst thing to avoid is being deserted and deserted, which makes people feel unlucky.

If someone gets married without the sound of drums and music, the neighbors will also think it is bad luck. This is the most taboo thing.

2. It is taboo not to set off firecrackers when welcoming a bride. If there are too few firecrackers per hanging, it is also taboo. Because the bride always takes her time getting off the sedan, and there are so many people watching, it is difficult for her to walk through the door quickly. If the hanging whip is set off before the bride walks through the door, there will be a moment of silence and the scene will become cold, which is very unlucky.

Therefore, in many places, when marrying a wife, long firecrackers are set off. As the saying goes: When marrying a wife, it is not a pity to get a whip, secondly, a cannon, and thirdly, it is not a pity to hire a sedan chair. ?No matter how difficult the economy is, these three things cannot be saved. Everyone thinks that setting off firecrackers is an "evil spirit". The more festive the occasion, the more evil spirits will cause trouble and must be driven away in time.

3. It is forbidden for the bride not to drink the sedan soup or drink all the sedan soup. It is a custom in the Central Plains to drink the sedan soup before the bride gets on the sedan.

The sister-in-law of the natal family prepares a meal for the bride before leaving, which is called "Pancar Soup". The bride is very particular about eating. She cannot not eat but cannot finish the meal. There is this singing method in folk songs: If you drink it, you are afraid of your poor mother-in-law; if you say not to drink it, you are afraid of your poor mother-in-law; let it go, I will drink half and keep half, and live a good life on both ends. ?

4. The bride should not step on the ground when getting on the sedan chair. The bride should avoid stepping on the ground when getting on the sedan chair, for fear of taking away the ashes of the married family and taking away the blessings of her natal family.

5. It is taboo for the bride not to cry when she gets into the sedan chair. It is taboo among the people for the bride not to cry when she gets into the sedan chair. Crying means not wanting to leave her parents. It also means saying goodbye to her girlhood and means that the bride is a sensible girl. If you don't cry, you are uneducated and your parents will feel embarrassed. At this time, the female companion will come over and quietly persuade: "Cry twice, cry with your mouth, and wish in your heart, it won't look good if you don't cry twice!" If she doesn't cry again, her mother will quietly pinch her butt to make her cry.

6. Pregnant women cannot see off the bride when she goes out, because in ancient times people believed that pregnant women symbolized blood and glory, and seeing pregnant women off would bring bloody disaster to the couple. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid it when the bride leaves the palace.

7. Avoid ignoring each other when encountering a sedan chair on the way. If you encounter a sedan chair coming from the opposite side, the two brides should exchange handkerchiefs and avoid ignoring each other. Onlookers should not lift the curtain of the sedan chair to look at the bride, because the bride has Evil spirit.

8. Avoid taking the heavy road when traveling on the sedan chair route. If there is a road construction in front of you, you must take a detour instead of taking the road you just walked. Go to the empty sedan chair to pick up the bride and the real sedan chair to pick up the bride. We cannot walk together on the same road. We should go east to west instead of taking the heavy road, or slightly change the route. This is because we are afraid of being heavy and remarrying. This is what is meant by the saying: "When the sedan chair turns back, the couple will not end up together."
