A good  date and a good hour must first be seleced. On the wedding day, the  bride, who always wears a traditio<em><\/em>nal costume and a red covering for her  entire head, is carried to the bridegroom&#8217;s home in a sedan chair.  Making formal bows are the most im<em><\/em>portant part of a Chinese wedding. The  bride and groom bow to Heaven and Earth, to their parents and to each  other before they are formally recognized as husband and wife. The  bride, still with her head covered, is then escorted to their bedroom,  wheras the groom stays to entertain the guests at the banquet.  Interestingly, throughout the wedding ceremony, neither the bridegroom  nor the guests are able to see the face of the bride. It is o<em><\/em>nly after  the banquet when the groom joins his bride that he can remove the red  covering and look at her face.<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\" style=\"BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff7100\">[x\u012bn l&aacute;ng] <strong>\u65b0\u90ce<\/strong> bridegroom<br \/>  [x\u012bn ni&aacute;ng] <strong>\u65b0\u5a18<\/strong> bride <br \/>  [b&agrave;i t&aacute;ng] <strong>\u62dc\u5802<\/strong> making formal bows<br \/>  [h&oacute;ng g&agrave;i t&oacute;u] <strong>\u7ea2\u76d6\u5934<\/strong> red covering<br \/>  [hu\u0101 ji&agrave;o] <strong>\u82b1\u8f7f <\/strong>sedan chair<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Chinese people value good luck and are therefore particular a<em><\/em>bout  wedding details. For example, the bridegroom is supposed to remove the  bride&#8217;s covering with the beam of a steelyard to wish happiness. On  their bed, people put <strong>red dates<\/strong>(<strong>\u7ea2\u67a3 h&oacute;ng z\u01ceo<\/strong>), <strong>peanuts<\/strong>(<strong>\u82b1\u751f hu\u0101 sh\u0113ng<\/strong>), <strong>longan<\/strong>(<strong>\u6842\u5706 gu&igrave; yu&aacute;n<\/strong>) and<strong> lotus seeds<\/strong>(<strong>\u83b2\u5b50li&aacute;n z\u01d0<\/strong>),  the Chinese characters of which, when combined, have the same  pro<em><\/em>nunciation as the phrase &quot;giving birth to a child at an early date&quot;(<strong>\u65e9\u751f\u8d35\u5b50z\u01ceo sh\u0113ng gu&igrave; z\u01d0<\/strong>).  The new couple also drink wine from each&#8217;s cups as a wish for eternal  love. As part of a traditio<em><\/em>nal wedding, young people come to the  couple&#8217;s room to make fun of the bride and bridegroom, asking them to  recount their love stories or play some games. This adds a lot of fun to  the nuptial ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to traditio<em><\/em>nal wedding, modern wedding, which incorporate many western elements, are far simpler.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3591181084\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Related News:  Over 100 foreign students from 26 countries experience a Qing  Dynasty-style wedding at a folk museum in the ancient city of Huizhou,  east China&#8217;s Zhejiang province on January 18, 2015.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,16],"tags":[58,114,135],"class_list":["post-6459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-culture","category-traditional-chinese-festivals","tag-chinese-characters","tag-pronunciation","tag-traditional-chinese"],"views":163,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6459\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
