There are also collectively referred to as worshiping heaven and earth, ancestors, parents and husband and wife as worshiping halls.In the Tang Dynasty, when newlyweds met their uncles and aunts, the common name was Baitang.

Tang Wangjian's poem "The Complaint of the Lost Hairpin" said: "Double cups of wine and six relatives are happy, and my bride should pay homage."

Hall worship, traditional Chinese marriage etiquette, is the most important gift in the wedding process.After worshiping, they are officially married.Because the worship ceremony in ancient weddings was held in the hall, it was called worship hall, also known as worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping flowers, and worshiping marriage.It is widely popular in many parts of the country, and the Han, Jing, Mulao and other ethnic groups all have this custom.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was fixed as a marriage etiquette for husband and wife to pray to each other.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the folks in the northern region called it "Jiaobai", and it was held in a special green house.The term "baitang" officially appeared in the Tang Dynasty.In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was changed to the wedding day.After sitting in the wealth ceremony, the newlyweds take the scarf to the middle hall to uncover the bride's head first, and then "visit the hall, visit the family gods and family temples, and perform the ceremony of attending relatives."Later generations generally pray to heaven and earth first on the day of marriage.Then worship.

In both the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was said that worshiping heaven and earth and ancestors were collectively referred to as worshiping rituals.In modern times, it was held at a certain hour of the day, si, and noon.Generally, a confession is set up before the husband and wife worship in the worship hall of the man's house, incense candles are set, and ancestral memorial tablets are set up.

At the beginning of worship, candles, incense, firecrackers and music are played.Enjoy it.The rite student chanted: "The cigarettes are ethereal, the lamps and candles are brilliant, and the bride and groom are in the flower hall together." The new couple took their seats, and the rite student chanted, "First bow to the heaven and earth. Second bow to the high hall. Husband and wife worship each other and send them to the bridal chamber" in order according to the ritual bow down.In feudal society, the bride and groom first went to the family temple to pay respects to their ancestors, and then the husband and wife worshiped each other.In the coastal areas of Zhejiang Province, it is said that when the man's family greets the relatives, he bows to the heaven and the earth three times before the flowers and candles.Most modern weddings do not kneel down, but bow instead, bowing to parents, and bowing to each other between husband and wife.Unconventional.According to the book, there was a governor of Xuzhou named Wang Hun at that time.The first wife died, and another one was married.The continued wife is the Yan family.He is a commoner with a relatively low status.When they worshiped, the Yan family first worshiped Wang Hun.Then Wang Hun prepared to say goodbye.At this time, someone said to Wang Hun: You are a high-ranking state official, how can you worship her?Wang Hun didn't say goodbye.For this, Yan was very angry.

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

If it wasn't for someone's instigation, Wang Hun still wanted to say goodbye.This also shows that the custom of husband and wife bowing to each other has just emerged, and Wang Hun stopped bowing if he didn't. Later, when the custom matured, the groom had to bow no matter how senior he was.According to the "Sui Shu. Etiquette Records", when the Northern Qi emperor held a marriage ceremony, the husband and wife also worshiped each other.However, women still kneel first and then rise; men kneel later and rise first.

Beginning in the Tang Dynasty, from the royal family to the common people, it has been widely practiced.After the Song Dynasty, it became popular all over the country, worshiped as heaven and earth, ancestors, uncles and aunts, and husband and wife worshiped each other.The scope of "worship hall" in modernization has been expanded. In addition to respecting relatives and making friends with ancestors in heaven and earth, it is also necessary to pay respects to relatives and friends of the family.After worshiping the ancestral hall on the second day of the wedding in the village, it is still necessary to bow to the neighbors of the village party, and the wedding will be established.

The specific process of worship: one is: worship.

After the bride and groom enter the door, they will "worship the hall", also known as "worship the heaven and the earth".The place of worship is generally in front of the door of the bridal chamber, and an altar is set up, on which there are tablets of heaven, earth, monarchs, relatives and teachers, and the ancestral mantle is hung behind the altar.After the bride and groom are seated, they will be guided by two male guests, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, and pay homage to heaven and earth, ancestors and parents.Then the female east and the male west perform husband and wife worship.In the same area of ​​Yanbei University, the bridegroom bows, but the bride does not, which is very different from common customs.

On the wedding day, the bride and groom hold a worship ceremony.The two bridesmaids appeared as "Yin Zan" and "Tong Zan" respectively.

The worship procedure is as follows:

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

Tong Zan: Open the sedan chair, the newcomer starts.

Cited praise: The bride and groom are in place.

Tongzan: The bride and groom offer incense.

Then there are three common worships in TV dramas: first worship to heaven and earth, second worship to the high hall, husband and wife to worship each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.

The second is: the bridal chamber.

After the worship, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber surrounded by everyone.In Jinzhong, Jinnan and other places, a saddle should be placed in front of the door or on the threshold of the bridal chamber, and the saddle will be removed as soon as the bride's front foot steps over.In addition to some daily necessities in the bridal chamber, wedding couplets should be pasted at the door, double happiness characters in red on the windows, and red candles would be lit inside the house.In Xinzhou and other places, there is also a bunny made of dough hanging on the door of the bridal chamber.In the area of ​​Qin County, there are buckets in the bridal chamber, which are filled with grains, bronze mirrors and other town objects, which are used to illuminate demons and avoid evil spirits; lamps and candles are hung on high walls and are not lit all night, commonly known as "long-lived lamps".In the area of ​​Yanbei and Pinglu, after entering the bridal chamber, the groom will hold a bow and arrow and shoot in all directions, which is called "driving the white tiger".

In some places in central and southern Shanxi, bows and arrows were hung on the walls.Folks believe that the bridal chamber is easily infested by evil spirits. If it is not dispelled and suppressed, abnormal accidents will occur, which will be unfavorable to the bride and groom.In Qixian County and other places in the middle of Jin Dynasty, after entering the bridal chamber, the bride and groom sit side by side on the edge of the kang and are greeted by "Quanfu people".Press the corner of the bride's gown over the skirt of the groom's gown.The groom uses a scale to pick off the "hijab red" on the bride's head, and then exits.The bride's sister-in-law immediately took off the new shoes on the bride's feet and changed another pair for her.The so-called "new shoes, a new model" means that the bride must follow the rules of the husband's family and be restrained by the husband's family.In the Hequ area of ​​Xinzhou, after the groom picks off the bride's red hijab.It is also necessary to comb the bride's hair a few times symbolically with a comb, commonly known as "shangtou", which means that this woman will become his daughter-in-law from now on.

Earlier, after the bride and groom entered the bridal chamber, they had to eat and drink from the same utensil.Perform the "Health Ceremony".Generally, the groom and the bride first drink a little wine glass.Then the two glasses of wine were mixed, and the two of them exchanged glasses and finished drinking.The customs in Shanxi are slightly different. In the Yanbei Pingshou area, the bride and groom drink a cup of wine together, which is called "Jade Emperor Wine", also known as "Hehao Wine"; Eat "marriage noodles" together.On the wedding night, some places in southern Shanxi still have the custom of "stepping on the four corners".The bridegroom pulls the bride to turn left three times and turn right three times on the kang. When stepping on it, someone should recite praises beside him: "step on, step on. Step on the four corners, and the four corners are protected by the queen. There are more children, and the girls are young. Husband and wife are always on good terms..." Shanxi, like other parts of the country, has the custom of "making a new house", the night of the bridal chamber.Crowded.

As the saying goes: "If you don't make a fuss, you don't make it, and the more you make it, the more it will be." There is also a custom among the people that "the newlyweds have no size for three days".Three days after the marriage, guests, neighbors, relatives and friends, regardless of their seniority, men, women and children can gather in the new house to participate in teasing the bride and groom.people think that.Making a new house can not only add to the festive atmosphere of the newlyweds, but also drive away evil spirits, and bless the bride and groom with good luck and prosperity after marriage.

There is also a very beautiful legend about worshiping halls: According to legend, when Nuwa created man, she only created a handsome young man at first. Although this young man has food and clothing and is at ease, he is lonely and feels very lonely. stuffy.So often moan.

One night, when the moon was full and hung brightly in the sky, the young man was touched by the scene and felt even more lonely, so he said to the moon: "Yue Lao Yue Lao, listen carefully and find me a confidant. I will cherish your love from generation to generation." !” Just finished speaking, the moon flickered, and an old man with white eyebrows and long beard came to the young man leaning on a walking stick with a dragon’s head, and said, “Don’t worry about the younger generation, I will find you a little helper.”After finishing speaking, there was a gust of breeze, and the old man with long beard disappeared.The lad was puzzled.After an hour, the old man with a long beard led a girl floating leisurely in front of the young man, and said to the young man, "I went to Nuwa's place and asked her to make another woman, and I brought it here for you. You should get to know each other first." , I will hold a wedding for you in a while." Suddenly, the old man disappeared.

When the young man saw that the girl's cheeks were flushed like a rose, he was very happy; the girl saw that the young man had bright eyes and was honest and frank, so she also felt like a good match.The two eyes met and fell in love at first sight.The young man stammered and said: "Would you like to live with me?" The girl heard this, and two red clouds flew up on her face, and said, "Yes."... "Ha!? Ha!? Ha!" At this moment, there was a burst of laughter. The old man with long beard led two white-haired and white-bearded old men to stand in front of the young man and the girl, pointed to the two old men and said, "This is the God and the land. Your future lives will all be separated from you." Don’t leave them alone. Now we have a happy event for you. First of all, we will pay three respects to the God and the land that raised you, ‘one, two, three’”.Following the voice of the old man under the moon, the young man and the girl bowed to the sky and the earth three times.Afterwards, the old man under the moon said with a smile: "I will lead you the red line, and you have to pay respects to me." "One bow, two bows, three bows."The young man and the girl bowed to the old man under the moon three more times.Just after the worship, the three old people disappeared.

From then on, the young man got up early and worked in the fields every day in the dark. The girl cooked for the young man at home, sewed and washed the old. The two loved each other and lived a happy life.

In order to thank heaven and earth for their nurturing grace, and to thank old man Yuexia for his love for matchmaking, from now on, when getting married, you must: first worship heaven and earth;Then the custom of "worshiping heaven and earth" was formed.
