Detailed description of traditional wedding customs in Shaanxi

The vast plain north of the Qinling Mountains has always been known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Pingchuan". The many marriage customs in Shaanxi are also national civilized. In today's open and free era, Shaanxi children still cannot escape the traditional wedding customs when getting married. Today, Xiaobian will share Shaanxi wedding customs with you, hoping to help you create a unique wedding that is different from others.

It is inevitable that weddings in Shaanxi must be engaged first before marriage, and this must be the same in various places. After the parents of both parties choose an auspicious day, the prelude to marriage should begin.

The day before the wedding, the man's parents will go to the woman's house to give gifts. It is said that there is a double-section lotus root symbolizing the lotus, wishing the couple to unite forever) and given it to the future daughter-in-law.

The next day, it was time for the protagonists of the wedding to take stage. On that day, there were quite a lot of blockages on the door. The person who sent off the bride and the person who received the bride broke the door and overcome the first hurdle of blockages on the door, then the second hurdle was for the groom to drink sweet, sour and spicy soup. This soup consists of four bowls of soup and four flavors. If the groom drank it without frowning, there was a custom and naturally there was a woman who regulated the bridegroom's official).

The bride and groom each eat a poached egg. Since the heroine is the protected object of the bride, she will certainly not be sent off. She puts salt or mustard in the poached egg. World Customs Network, of course, everyone gives blessings when eating. At this time, everyone in the city saw the bridegroom frowning and eating the poached egg with salt or mustard. The second level is to find shoes. The woman who sent off the bride hid the bride's red ceremonial shoes in advance. If the bridegroom and their recipient couldn't find the shoes, they couldn't carry our beautiful bride away. If they insisted on carrying them away, the woman who sent off the bride would seize the chaos and lock the door. For a man without a key, how can he get married while holding a bride who is about to become a beautiful wife and having no means to leave the bride's house?

After going through hardships, the bridegroom finally found the shoes, so congratulations, and he can go home with the bride in his arms. From the bride's house to the wedding car, the groom has to hold the bride all the time. Therefore, it is recommended that future grooms who are going to get married in the future exercise early so that they will have the strength to take their wives home! Haha ~~~~) After arriving at the man's house, there is another procedure, which is the custom of hanging curtains in the Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi and the mountainous areas of southern Shaanxi.) If there is no curtain hanging on the new door, I'm sorry, the groom will have to hold the bride and wait until everyone hangs the curtain for you before you can enter. Those who require the curtain to be hung are not particular. Generally, they just need to find their younger siblings to hang it.

Next is the wedding, which is the same everywhere. Although the content is different, the form of the major links in the middle is similar, so there is no need to say much about this.

Generally, marriage in Guanzhong areas, especially in cities, takes one day, which is simple and convenient. If you are in rural areas, there may be more etiquette. Participating in my cousin's wedding can be summarized as just saying with Guanzhong characteristics.)

Let's talk about some wedding customs in the mountainous areas of southern Shaanxi, mainly based on the wedding customs in my hometown.)

This marriage usually takes three to four days. These three or four days also have their own names.

On the first day, it was the time at the woman's house. The woman's family should prepare a banquet to invite her relatives and friends. This seat is called "Huayuan Wine", which means that the woman marries her daughter. During the banquet, the woman's parents were painted with bright red ink paste by their relatives and friends to make it prosperous. Of course, everyone blessed and rectified them. The purpose was to be happy, and naturally the woman's parents would not be angry. That night, the woman's parents discussed with relatives or friends of the "chief manager" who knew about customs, customs and wedding etiquette the next day.

When the groom came to pick up the bride the next day, he was naturally blocked by the children of the wife's house and asked for red envelopes. Then he ate sweet rice dumplings and picked up sweet honey, meaning perfection. After seeing the bride, the groom will take out the red ceremonial shoes from the red suitcase he has prepared and put them on with his own hands. Then, the bride's brother will carry the bride out of the door of the woman's house, and a piece of red paper will be laid at the door because at this time, the bride can't touch his feet on the ground.) Let the bride step on the red paper and hand it over to the bridegroom. At this time, the groom can carry the bride on the float. During this time, the bride cannot look back at her mother's family. It is said to be unlucky.) When the float picks up the bride, you have to return the same way as you came from. After arriving at the man's house, amid the blessings of relatives and friends, the man would send someone to bring a basin of clean water for the bride to wash her hands, and the bride would give the person who delivered the water a big red envelope. The wedding banquet on this day is the main banquet, that is, the man's family marries his daughter-in-law.

On the third day, the man's family prepares a banquet to invite the woman's parents and the person who sent the bride off to the woman's family, commonly known as "Shangqin"). This seat is called the "Yuan Huan Seat", which means reunion and joy. The purpose is for both parents, relatives and friends to have fun together and get to know each other more.

The fourth day is the bride's return to her mother's home. In the morning, some relatives went to the groom's house to pick up the groom and bride and return them to their parents 'home. Before the sun was about to set, they wanted to send the newlyweds back. It's not clear what this is for, but it's still unclear.)

After so few days, the marriage is finally over. The newlyweds are tired and the people who helped them are tired. They can finally rest. One good thing, haha ~~ The above is an introduction to Shaanxi wedding customs. I wish all lovers in the world that they will eventually get married, be harmonious and beautiful, be united forever, and have a happy life.
