The wedding is also called "meet the bride", or "pro welcome", the old Beijing has a nursery rhyme is sung this way: "big girl big, two girls two, the little girl out of the house to me a letter. Build a big shed and put up the happy words. The bullhorn lamps, twenty pairs of them, two heads of the marrying wife, and a big pull of the wings of the sending wife. The eight-tufted coats with big open wedges, the four-wheeled carriages with two pairs of horses." The image reflects the bustling scene when welcoming the bride, but also shows the importance that people attach to this ceremony.
With the development of the times, the sedan chair has long been replaced by a float, and the rattles have been suspected of disturbing the people, and if you want to see that kind of scene, you can only find some old movies or documentaries. Good in the capital museum, there is a live display. Although they are some wax portraits, but also just a static, but whether the characters dressed, expression, or team formation, etiquette and order, can bring us back to a joyful welcome to the scene.
We now have some Chinese weddings, or new Chinese weddings, there are some imitation and return, but they are not as authentic as this. Although it is impossible for us to experience this kind of ceremony in person again, but it is always good to see it, I share what I have seen with you, and I hope you like it too.
