Shanxi marriage halls and caves
when the groom and the bride enter the door, they will be followed by a “crown of prayer”, also known as “bow to the heavens and the earth”.
the place of worship is usually in front of the door of the cave, where a table is set up, with a table of cards for the masters of the heavens and the earth, and where the veil of the fathers is hanging behind the table.
when the groom and the bride are in position, they will be guided by two guests, who will kneel and bow and worship the heavens and the earth, their fathers and their parents.
then the woman, the woman, the husband and wife, salute.
the bride does not worship when the groom worships when the geese are in the same belt, unlike the usual.
after the chapel, the groom and the bride enter the cave in crowds.
jin-jung, jin-nan, etc., must put a saddle in front of the door or on the threshold, and as soon as the bride's foot is crossed, the saddle will be removed.
in addition to some items of life in the den, we have to place the hiding union at the door, double-red windows and big red candles inside the house.
there's a plastic rabbit on the back of the door.
in the area of
county, there is a fight in the cave, with five valleys and a town like copper mirrors, used to hide the demons from evil; candles are hanging high and the night is not on fire, commonly known as the “long-life light”.
in the area of pinglu, the geese enter the den and the groom will have to fire with bows and arrows in all directions, under the name “white tiger”.
in some places, jinnan and jinnan, bows and arrows are hanging on the wall.
civil society believes that the caves are vulnerable to demons and that if they are not defunct and repressed, there will be an unusual accident to the detriment of the groom and the bride.
after entering the room, the groom and the bride sit next to each other and be greeted by the all-friends and place the bride's horns over the bride's robe.
the groom uses a scale to pick out the "cover red" on the bride's head and then exit.
the bride's sister-in-law took off her new shoes and replaced her with another pair.
the so-called “new shoes, new ones” means that the bride is bound by the rules of the male family in the future.
when the groom picks out the bride's red head, he brushes the bride's hair with the symbol of a comb, commonly known as the “top”, indicating that the woman is now his daughter-in-law.
earlier, when the groom and bride entered the inn, they had to eat from the same vessel, in the form of a “holy gift”.
it is usually the bride and the groom who drink a bit of each of the glasses, and then two of the wines are turned and two of them are replaced.
there is a slight variation in customs across the mountain, with the bride and groom drinking a bottle of wine called "the jade wine", known as "and good wine" in the area of the goose beacon, which turns to the groom and the bride eats "wedding noodles" on the night of the wedding.
on the night of the wedding, there is also the practice of “tomping on the four corners” in jinnan.
the groom turns the bride three times to the left and three times to the right.
when he steps on, he says, "stomp, step, step on the four corners, the four-angle will protect." there are more children, fewer women, and the husband and wife are always fine...as in all parts of the country, the practice of “new houses” is common in shanxi.
according to the saying, “no more, no more, no more, no more, no more” and the custom of “three days of new marriage”, three days after the marriage, when guests, neighbours, relatives and friends of all ages are able to gather men, women and children in the new room to make fun of the bride and groom.
