People would rather offend the sedan chair than those who play music at weddings, which is a folk custom. Rural wedding customs are the only traditional wedding customs in modern China. The lively atmosphere maximizes the joy of the wedding. Here is a borrowing of this rural marriage custom. The bride's dress is exquisite, must be red shoes, red socks, underwear should also be red. In the past, sedan chairs were used to fetch the bride, but now they have been turned into automobiles. But I think cars are not as comfortable as sedan chairs.
The procession to receive relatives is usually long. The staff here includes people who play oboes, carry sedan chairs and sing opera. The palanquin cannot be empty. There must be a child inside. The old people call this child the "palanquin bearer". When the palanquin arrives at the bride's house, she cannot come out at will. The bride's family must lure her with a red envelope so that the child can come out. If the child thinks the red packet is too small to come out, then the bride's family must give a larger red packet until the child is satisfied.
After the bride is brought home, the most important thing is to honor the bride's family. In our country, the man with the microphone is called the Great Understanding, which means he knows everything. The young couple must listen to the voice of the Daikou to accomplish these actions. It is very popular to have many children watching while worshipping heaven and earth. In fact, before worshiping heaven and earth, the bride prepares some change and gives it to these children after getting off the sedan chair, which is called a red envelope. If you don't give the red envelope, the children have the right to make trouble.
There is a custom in my hometown that if a family holds a wedding, the whole village will be there. The men, women and children of the village are involved and all must join in. Firecrackers are of course the children's favorite show. If one family in a village gets married, the children in that village are as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
