When getting married, the bride holds a bronze mirror in her arms or hangs it around her waist, which means to ward off evil spirits or decorate a sedan chair according to evil spirits. According to legend, Duke Zhou and Peach Blossom Girl wanted to surrender to each other in the name of marriage. Duke Zhou shot three arrows at the peach blossom girl in the sedan chair, and the peach blossom girl stopped her opponent with a "demon mirror" (bronze mirror) in her arms.
