What should I prepare for a wedding in Changzhou? What are the wedding customs that need to be observed?

In the west, getting married is a natural thing. Two people have been together for a long time, and neither can live without the other. There is only one way to get married. In Changzhou in the east, getting married is really a big event between two people or even two families, and it even takes a whole year from preparation to wedding day. Girls and boys in Changzhou, regardless of their jobs, must respect old customs. Ancestor worship before marriage, odd-numbered wedding ceremonies, and entering the door every eight days, all the customs are behind the deep blessings and love of the older generation to the younger generation for thousands of years.

Today, we will talk about ancestor worship. Some friends may not be familiar with it, because these things are usually done before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, not every year, so it is difficult to get close to the core of life circle. In the north and south, there are different ways to commemorate ancestors. For example, in Changzhou, Jiangsu, many villages have ancestral halls. No matter where the descendants live or what occupation they are engaged in, they will go back to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors before the wedding.

Changzhou people pursue "marriage is predestined", and the fate between people is predestined. As long as the two sides are in harmony, the elderly generally do not explicitly object. But Changzhou people attach great importance to the man's career. They think that even if there is no money at home, as long as a person is reliable and willing to endure hardships, he will surely fly high in Jin Peng. Otherwise, Jinshan Yinshan is empty. On blind date, the woman will test the groom with many difficult problems and observe the character and character of the other party.

The wedding is the busiest time, but the groom must not forget that the number of guests at the wedding should be kept odd, and a lot of red envelopes are needed when knocking on the door. Although the number of relatives is not so valued now, the necessary ceremonies should be completed as much as possible. After hitting the door, the bride and groom embraced and looked at each other. After taking some photos, the groom needed to offer tea to his parents-in-law, changed his mouth and received a heavy red envelope. So far, the bride is yours!

Jiangsu people are very traditional and have influenced Changzhou area. Changzhou wedding custom pays attention to "parting" and "descendants". Parting is the yearning for the daughter who has been raised for more than 20 years, and children and grandchildren are the good wishes of parents for their children after marriage. In this regard, they have their own way, and the "offspring bucket" is a typical example.

The offspring bucket is actually a miniature version of the toilet, about the size of a shoe box. Most materials are made of wood and ceramics. If the man is well-off, he also has gold, silver and jade articles. After coming out of the bride's family, this offspring bucket will be held by the woman's children until the bride is led to the car.
