Shanwei rural wedding, why get married at night?

In fact, it is a long-standing folk custom in China to hold a wedding at night, which is the origin of the wedding. "White Tiger Pass" is recorded, "Married people say that they salute at dusk, so they get married." Look at the word "marriage", which consists of three words: female, Japanese and surname, meaning that a woman changed her surname at sunset. Therefore, in ancient times, it was after dusk to marry a sedan chair. At present, this custom still exists in some areas of southern China. There is a saying that northerners used to get married during the day after the Qing Dynasty. Due to political reasons, the "curfew" imposed by the Qing Dynasty forced young people to change their weddings to daytime, and it has continued to this day.
