Why did you worship the bride when getting married in ancient times? The Origin and Significance of Newcomers Visiting the Church

In ancient times, people used to pay homage to describe two people getting married. So in modern society, do newcomers still need to pay homage when they get married? Why do newlyweds have to pay homage when they get married? Is there any special significance for newcomers to visit the church? Come and have a look with me.

The Historical Origin of Meeting the Church

Generally speaking, worshipping the church means worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall and worshipping the ancestral temple of the male family. Without the ancestral temple, the memorial tablet where you go to worship your ancestors will exist in name only. After husband and wife worship heaven and earth, ancestral temple and parents, they should also worship to show mutual respect and love. In some places, we must worship candles and mirrors.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the contents of worshipping relatives and guests attending weddings have been added. In terms of form, paying homage to the bride is also more grand: there should be incense tables, candles lit, red carpets or red cloth spread on the floor, and newcomers should kneel down and kowtow solemnly.

After liberation, most urban and rural areas in China still retain the ceremony of worshipping the church, but great changes have taken place in both form and content. For example, there is basically no content of worshipping the ancestral temple or ancestral temple, worshipping flowers and candles, worshipping the platform of the mirror, only worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall, and visiting relatives and friends. In some places, there are only the first three or the last three or even the last two.

Formally speaking, meeting the bride is not as formal and grand as before. For example, there are no more incense tables and candles, and the bride and groom bow down and kowtow instead (but in a few areas, the old custom of bowing down and kowtowing is still preserved), and the red carpet or red cloth is certainly not laid.

The Importance of Visiting the Bride Ceremony in Modern Wedding

In addition to the influence of traditional wedding customs, the ceremony of worshipping the bride can continue to this day, which also shows certain practical significance and plays a certain practical function. Therefore, a wedding full of modern significance still needs a ceremony with a certain traditional color.

First of all, meeting the bride can greatly increase the joyful atmosphere of the wedding and push the wedding to * * *. This ceremony started with relaxed and cheerful music, which attracted people's attention at modern weddings because it retained a strong traditional cultural color. Especially a modern wedding without a wedding reception is more likely to become the core scene of the whole wedding. At this time, with the humorous shouts of the wedding master, the bride and groom will bow down in full view, which will often attract cheerful applause. This wonderful combination of sound and silence makes the wedding more joyful, auspicious and peaceful, and pushes the wedding to an unforgettable * * *.

Secondly, paying homage to the bride and groom is a solemn expression of their true feelings. Modern wedding is nothing more than four contents: one is to worship heaven and earth, the other is to worship the high hall, the husband and wife worship each other, and then worship relatives and friends. It not only has the meaning of the oath mentioned above, but also contains the meaning of gratitude, monthly trust and care. Traditional China is a country that worships the gods of heaven and earth. On their wedding day, they thanked the god of heaven and earth for their kindness and asked him to bless them to grow old together in the future. Knife is their common wish. Parents have worked hard to raise their children, and now they are very happy to see their children get married.

At this time, it is really appropriate for the bride and groom to thank their parents for their kindness in the form of meeting the bride, and to say that they should try their best to be filial to their children in the future. Although the husband and wife bow silently, silence is better than sound here, and the truth and significance contained in it are incomparable to any sweet words. Relatives and guests come to congratulate the bride and groom, and they should be deeply grateful. I hope that from now on, everyone will come and go often, help each other and make progress together. This is the silent language of the bride and groom from the heart.

Third, meeting the bride reflects the further strengthening of the relationship between men and women. In fact, meeting the bride in the old days played the role of marriage registration today, which is the real symbol of the establishment of the relationship between husband and wife. Bride worship in modern weddings still has this nature to some extent. By paying homage to the bride and groom, their determination to get married for a hundred years will be made public, so that everyone can be witnesses of their marriage, and their relationship will not only have a legal basis, but also be recognized by society.

Therefore, although meeting the bride belongs to the traditional wedding custom in China, although this form is not taken seriously in modern weddings, the traditional culture has its profound historical significance after all. Therefore, in modern weddings, you can still find a tribute to the bride with a strong traditional style.
