The church of worship is also called "worshiping heaven and earth", and is one of the ancient wedding ceremonies.

Chinese wedding ceremony, also known as the worship hall and the worship hall. In the old days, when the wedding was held, the bride and groom visited the heaven and earth, and then worshiped ancestors and the man’s parents and elders. There are also collectively called worship halls of worship to heaven and earth, worship to ancestors, parents and husband and wife. In the Tang Dynasty, newlywed women met their uncles and aunts, commonly known as the worship hall.

Wang Jian of the Tang Dynasty’s poem “Resentment of Losing Hair” says: “Walking with two cups of wine, my bride is happy, and my bride is suitable for the house.”

The second act of Wu Zuguang's "Break into the Rivers and Lakes": "All guests are here, just wait to get married in the Ganoderma lucidum!" See the Tang Dynasty: Feng Yan's "Feng's Family's Experience Records? Flower Candle", Song Dynasty: Meng Yuanlao's "Dongjing Menghualu? Marrying a Wife", Qing Dynasty: Zhai Hao's "Popular Editing? Yi Festival", Qing Dynasty: Zhao Yi's "Yu Congkao? Chapel".

Chapel, the traditional Chinese marriage etiquette, is the most important ceremony in the wedding process. After the chapel, it is officially married. Because the chapel ceremony in ancient weddings was held in the hall, it was called Chapel, also known as the Chapel, also known as the Chapel, the Chapel, the Chapel, and the Chapel. It is widely popular in many areas of the country, and the Han, Beijing, Mula and other ethnic groups have this custom.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the couples worshipped each other as marriage etiquette.

Before the Tang Dynasty, people in northern regions called "communication and worship ceremony" and were held in the special Qinglu (a house decorated with green cloth curtains). The term "wedding" officially appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, on the wedding day, I first worshiped the family temple and performed a ceremony. On the next day, I used a table to put a mirror on the mirror table and looked up to worship, which was called the bride's worship.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was changed to the wedding day. After sitting on the ceremony of wealth and honor, the newlyweds brought scarves to the central hall and first uncovered the veil of the bride, and then "visited for the church. Then the gods and the family temples, and performed the ceremony of the relatives." Later generations usually worshipped the heaven and earth on the day of marriage, and then worshiped the church.

During the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, worshiping heaven and earth and worshiping ancestors were collectively called worship ceremony. In modern times, it was more than held at a certain time in the day, si, and noon. Generally, couples in the man’s house worship set up offerings before worship, setting incense, candles, and tablets of ancestors.

At the beginning of the ceremonial hall, burn candles, burn incense, sing firecrackers, and play music. This is the music of the ceremonials (i.e. the wedding host) chants: "The cigarette is misty, the candle is brilliant, and the bride and groom are all in the flower hall." The newlyweds take their seats and chants with the gifts: "One worships the heaven and earth, two worships the high hall (parents), and the husband and wife worship each other and sends them to the bridal chamber", and kneel down in order. In feudal society, the bride and groom first go to the family temple to worship their ancestors. Then the couple worships each other. Zhejiang Province Sea! The birth area says that when a man welcomes the ceremonial hall three times before the flower candles, it is often not a good deal for modern weddings. They do not kneel down, but instead perform bowing ceremony, bowing to parents, and the couple bows against each other, regardless of the rules.

The origin of the church: There are no records of couples having a church before the Han Dynasty in existing historical materials, but there is a story in the book "New Words on the World", which proves that the custom of a church began in Xuzhou in the Jin Dynasty.

The book says that at that time, there was a Xuzhou governor named Wang Hun. Yuan Pei's wife died and married another one. The wife whom he married was Yan. He was a commoner and had a relatively low status. When they were worshiping, Yan first worshipped Wang Hun, and then Wang Hun was ready to answer. At this time, someone said to Wang Hun: You are a state-level senior official, how can you worship her? Wang Hun did not answer. Yan was very angry about this.

Although the couple's worship was not finalized, it shows that there was indeed a custom of worship in Xuzhou at that time.

If it weren't for someone's instigation, Wang Hun would still have to bow down. This also shows that the custom of husband and wife worshiping each other just emerged, and Wang Hun would no longer bow down until he didn't bow down. Later, when the customs matured, the groom would have to bow down to the top. According to the "Book of Sui. Liturgy", when the emperor of Northern Qi held a marriage ceremony, the couple would also bow down to each other. However, the woman would still kneel down to bow down to the top and then rise; the man would kneel down to bow down to the top and get up first.

It started in the Tang Dynasty, from the royal family to the common people, and was widely popular. After the Song Dynasty, it became popular all over the country, and it was worshipped as heaven, earth, ancestors, uncles and aunts (parents-in-law), and husband and wife worshipped, indicating that from then on, women became a member of the male family, thus becoming the most important gift in the wedding process. The scope of the "Hao" of the closeness is expanded. In addition to the ancestors of heaven and earth and relatives and worship, they must also worship the family and be friendly to guests. After the ancestral temple was worshipped on the day after the wedding, they must also worship the neighbors of the hometown, and the wedding was established.

The specific process of the church: one is: church.

After the bride and groom enter the door, they will then "chair the hall", also known as "chair the heaven and earth". The place of the chair is usually set up in front of the bridal door, with an altar table on it, which is a tablet for heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers. The ancestral curtain is hung behind the altar table. After the bride and groom are in the seat, they are guided by two male guests, perform three kneeling and nine kowtowing ceremony, worship the heaven and earth, ancestors and parents. Then the daughters and men go to the east and west, and the husband and wife worship each other. In the same area of ​​Yanbeida, the groom worships the hall, but the bride does not worship, which is different from the common customs.

On the day of marriage, the bride and groom held a ceremony for the wedding. The two princesses appeared as "sing psalms" and "tong psalms" respectively.

The church awareness procedure is as follows:

Give praise: The groom stands in front of the sedan chair.

Tongzan: Start the sedan chair and the newcomer will start.

Give praise: The groom bows (receives the bride)

Give praise: The bride and groom are straight in front of the flower hall.

Remarks: The bride and groom are in place.

Tongzan: The bride and groom enter the incense.

Refer to praise: kneel down and offer incense.

Tongzan: Kneel, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times,

Then there are the three common prayers in TV series: one worships the world, two worships the high hall, couples worship each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.

The second is: bridal chamber.

After the wedding, the groom and the bride entered the bridal chamber surrounded by everyone. Jinzhong, Jinnan and other places should place a saddle in front of the door or on the threshold of the bridal chamber. As soon as the bride stepped over, she would immediately pull the saddle out. In addition to some daily necessities in the bridal chamber, there should be a wedding couplet at the door, a red double-happy word on the window, and a big red flower candle in the house. In Xinzhou and other places, a dough-shaped rabbit should be hung at the door. In Qinxian, there is a bucket in the bridal chamber, which contains grains, bronze mirrors and other objects to shine on monsters and avoid evil spirits. The lights and candles are hung on high walls and are not fired all night long, commonly known as the "Long Life Lamp". In Yanbei, in the area of ​​Lu, Yanbei, after entering the bridal chamber, the groom should hold a bow and arrow and shoot in all directions, called "Chasing the White Tiger".

In Jinzhong and some places in southern Jinzhong, bows and arrows were hung on the walls. People believe that the bridal chamber is easily invaded by evil spirits. If it is not explained and suppressed, abnormal accidents will occur, which will be unfavorable to the groom and the bride. After entering the bridal chamber in Qixian County, Jinzhong, the groom and the bride sit side by side on the edge of the kang, and the "Quanfu Ren" greeted him and pressed the corner of the bride's clothes on the groom's robe. The groom used a scale rod to pick the "red veil" on the bride's head and then withdrew. The bride's sister-in-law took off the new shoes on the bride's feet and changed her to another pair. The so-called "changing new shoes, you will have a new style" means that the bride will act according to the rules of the man's family and be bound by the in-laws' family. In the Hequ area of ​​Xinzhou, after the groom picked out the bride's red veil, he also used a comb to symbolize the bride's hair. Commonly known as "top", it means that the woman will become his wife from now on.

Earlier, after the bride and bride entered the bridal chamber, they had to eat with the same utensil. The "helming ceremony" was performed. Generally, the groom, the bride first brought a glass of wine and drank a little, then mixed two glasses of wine, and the two exchanged for the drink. The customs in various places in Shanxi were slightly different. The grooms were in the beast area of ​​Yanbeiping, and the bride drank a cup of wine together, which was also called "Jade Emperor Wine". Also known as "Harmony Wine"; Wenxi and other places evolved into grooms, and the bride ate "marriage face" together on wedding nights. On wedding nights, there were also the custom of "stepping on four corners" in some places in southern Shanxi. The groom pulled the bride to turn left and three circles on the kang. When stepping on, someone would chant the praise next to him: "Step on, step on four corners, step on four corners, and the empress protects the four corners. There are many babies, few girls, and the mother-in-law is often good..." Like all parts of the country, there are customs of "making trouble in a new house", and the night on wedding nights is very lively.

As the saying goes, "If you don't make a fuss, you won't make a fuss, and the more you make a fuss, it will become more and more trouble." There is also the habit of "no big or small in three days of wedding". Three days after the marriage, guests, neighbors, relatives and friends, regardless of their generation, men, women, old and young can gather together to participate in the fun of the groom and the bride. People believe that making a fussy house can not only add to the festive atmosphere of the newlyweds, but also drive away evil and avoid evil, and bless the groom. The bride will be lucky and prosperous after marriage.

There is also a very beautiful legend about the church: According to legend, when Nuwa created humans, she only created a handsome young man. Although this young man had food and clothing and was free and easy, she was lonely and alone and always felt bored. So she often sighed.

One night, the moon was full and brightly hung in the sky. The young man felt more lonely when he touched the scene and said to the moon, "Old Yue, please listen carefully, find me a close friend, I will take your affection for generations!" As soon as the moon was finished, a white-eyed and long-bearded old man came to the young man with a dragon-headed crutch and said, "Don't worry, young man, I'll find you a little helper." After that, a breeze gushed, and the old man with long beard disappeared. The young man felt very puzzled. After an hour, he saw the old man with long beards leading a girl to float slowly in front of the young man, and said to the young man, "I went to Nuwa and asked her to create another woman, and I'll bring you. You know each other first, and I'll do you a wedding later." As soon as the old man disappeared, the old man disappeared.

The young man saw the girl's cheeks flushed and like roses, so he was overjoyed. Seeing that the young man's eyes were bright, honest and honest, he felt in love. The two looked at each other and fell in love at first sight. The young man stuttered and said, "Would you like to live with me?" After hearing this, two red clouds flew on his face and said, "Will you."... "Ha! Ha! Ha!" At this moment, a burst of laughter came, and the old man with long beards led two old men with white hair and beards to stand in front of the young man and the girl, pointing to the two old men and said, "This

It is the heaven and the land, and all your future lives are inseparable from them. Now we will do weddings for you. First, we will pay three prayers to the heavens who raised you. The land is 'one, two prayers, three prayers'." As the old man under the moon shouted, the young man and the girl bowed to the sky and the earth three prayers. Then, the old man under the moon smiled and said, "I will give you a red thread, and you will have to pay my respects." "One, two prayers, three prayers." The young man and the girl bowed three prayers to the old man under the moon again. As soon as the worship was finished, all the three elders disappeared.

From then on, the young man got up early and went into the dark every day, worked in the fields, and the girl cooked fire for the young man at home, sewed the new and washed the old. The two of them were loving and living a happy life.

In order to thank the heaven and earth for their nurturing grace, and to thank the elderly under the moon for their love, from then on, when getting married, one must worship the heaven and earth; two worship the elderly under the moon; three worship the parents. This has formed the custom of "worshiping heaven and earth" when getting married.

In short, the wedding is the most important part of our traditional Chinese wedding. As a Chinese, we should inherit this tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years and carry forward it.

Zhao Chaogang was preparing to get married at his wedding. As a Chinese, Zhao Chaogang felt that getting married was the necessary procedure for marriage. Only after getting married after getting married can it be considered a real marriage.

It was half past ten. Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing were already in the lobby of the church. Just now, Liu Jingjing and Li Liping had already crossed the brazier, and it was time for the wedding to get married.

"Dear friends and relatives, please be listed as friends, and guests, good morning everyone!

This is the wedding ceremony held by Mr. Zhao Chaogang, Ms. Li Liping and Ms. Liu Jingjing. First of all, let us send the best wishes to them and applause."

The voice of the emcee began to sound. Today, the person who presided over the emcee was the person with the highest backup in Zhao Chaogang's family. Zhao Chaogang's grandfather generation, Zhao Chaogang had to call Zhao Yuncheng, the third grandfather.

"Papapapapapa..." A warm applause echoed in the lobby...

"Today, our Zhao Mansion is really like: the guests are sitting in the seats, and the glory is shining. On the 27th of September, a happy marriage is completed today.

Let us express our blessings to the newlyweds: I wish you a happy wedding and a happy marriage!

It is now 10:30 Beijing time. The auspicious time has arrived. Now I solemnly announce that the wedding ceremony of the groom and the bride has officially begun!

The newcomer appears, and the cannons and music is played!"

At this time, Zhao Chaogang came out with Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, who were covered in red and covered with a red veil on his head. Zhao Chaogang stood between Liu Jingjing and Li Liping, with a large red flower in the middle of his chest. He was holding a red cloth belt in his left and right hands, and the other end of the red cloth belt was held in the hands of Li Liping and Liu Jingjing.

Now Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing have already stood in the lobby. Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing have stood in a straight line. In this way, it will be convenient for us to worship the world later.

Seeing Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing had already set up a seat in the lobby, the third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng began to shout loudly: "This is really a talented man with a beautiful woman, a weaver girl with a cowherd, a full flower and a full moon, and a long and long sky! Next, the first item is to worship the world.

With one bow, one mind, the heaven is the basis, your love shines with the sun and the moon.

Bow twice, the best of both worlds, the earth proves that your love is like a rushing river.

Three bows, happiness and fulfillment, what people want, your life is prosperous."

With the shouts of the third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng, Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing began to formally celebrate the church. The third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng shouted, Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing bowed to each other and cooperated well with each other. The applause and laughter beside him were even louder.

"As the saying goes, water has its roots, and children do not forget to raise their children, and they will fulfill their lives, but they will fulfill their parents' hearts. The bride and groom are now married, so I really have to thank their parents for their kindness for their nurturing. Next is the second item: Visit the high hall and ask their parents to take their seats."

With the voice of the third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng, Zhao Qiang and Liu Meiqing began to sit directly above the lobby. The two of them are dressed in costumes and look at Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing with a smile on their faces. Today, their son Chaogang finally got married, and they married two beautiful wives, which made Zhao Qiang and his wife happy.

Seeing that Zhao Qiang and his wife had already settled down, the voice of the third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng immediately rang out again: "Okay, groom, bride and parents."

A bow will bring you a lifelong repaid.

Bow again, respect your parents, and serve rice and pour tea.

Bow three times, and you will be happy to become a new home, and you will never forget your parents."

Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing immediately followed the voice of the third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng emcee and began to worship their parents. Every time Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing worshipped each time, the smiles on Zhao Qiang and his wife became stronger and stronger, because their son, Zhao Chaogang, finally got married!

Soon, Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing finished their parents. The third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng presided over in time: "Today, heaven and earth testify, and many relatives and friends testify, and the old couple will have a daughter-in-law in the future. Then the brides have another father and a mother. The brides, shout, change their words and call them parents. If you have money in this life, your parents will call you well, and red envelopes will definitely be indispensable."

"Dad, mom!" Li Liping and Liu Jingjing called Zhao Qiang and his wife at the same time. When they heard Li Liping and Liu Jingjing calling him, Zhao Qiang and his wife were smiling. They quickly took out a big red envelope and gave it to Li Liping and Liu Jingjing respectively, and they still responded: "Oh!"

Seeing that Li Liping and Liu Jingjing had received the red envelopes from Zhao Qiang and his wife, the third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng presided over in time and said, "Okay, next is the third item: the couple bowed each other.

The groom, the bride stands well..."

Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing quickly stood in a position. If there were only two people to pay homage, the groom and the bride would stand in a position opposite each other. However, this time Zhao Chaogang was hosting with Li Liping and Liu Jingjing at the same time. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang now stood in an obtuse isosceles triangle with Li Liping and Liu Jingjing. In this way, it would be convenient for the hostage to come.

"When you bow, respect, love and understand each other, and remember to have a noble son as soon as possible.

Bow again, the husband and wife will be loving and grow old together, and share blessings together.

Bow three times, be united, love each other, and be happy forever."

The third grandfather Zhao Yuncheng shouted, Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing bowed to each other at the same time, and soon, the couple bowed to each other.

"Dear relatives and friends, listed as friends, guests, the wedding ceremony ends, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber...!"

"Oh..." There was a lot of laughter in the lobby. Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing were sent to the bridal chamber with laughter by many relatives and friends... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
