1, cheers

It is one of the important ceremonies for the bride and groom to drink a toast at the wedding. This custom has existed since ancient times and originated from the Qin Dynasty. According to historical records, at that time, the bride and groom each held a ladle that was split in two, which meant that the two became one and the husband and wife had the same status. After marriage, they love each other and live in harmony. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the container was replaced by a wine glass. Nowadays, the ceremony of drinking a glass of wine has changed a lot from the beginning, but no matter how different the expression of this custom is, its meaning is the same, that is, it symbolizes eternal harmony, does not separate, and also has the profound meaning of letting the bride and groom share joys and sorrows.
