There are several types of traditional Chinese wedding tokens:1. Red Double Happiness <br /> At Chinese weddings, big red double happiness characters can be seen everywhere. The double happiness character is composed of two "喜" characters, which represents double happiness. It is different from ordinary happiness and festivity, and it also means bringing good luck and a happy life to the newlyweds.2. Dragon and Phoenix Dragon and phoenix patterns are also often seen in Chinese weddings. This is because in China, the dragon and the phoenix are both symbols of good luck, representing nobility, magnificence, auspiciousness, and a harmonious and happy relationship between husband and wife. This tradition comes from ancient Chinese mythology. It is said that during the time of Emperor Yu Shun, the world was in great order and the official musician Kui composed the song "Nine Moves" to present to him. During the performance of the song, golden dragons and colorful phoenixes appeared at the same time. There is also a record in The Book of Songs: King Wen's Ten Poems that Wang Ji from the Long clan married Wang Zhong from the Phoenix clan. It was considered to be an auspicious combination of dragon and phoenix, a match made in heaven. 3. Chinese wedding attire In traditional Chinese weddings, the bride wears very beautiful Hanfu, which is a traditional Chinese costume with historical significance and serious marriage connotations. 4. Flowers Contrary to Western ideas, white is a symbol of death and is generally only used in funerals. Therefore, white flowers cannot be used as decoration at weddings. Traditional Chinese weddings like to use peonies, orchids, lotus and daffodils as decoration. Because peony represents wealth, daffodils represent spring and new life, orchids are fragrant and beautiful, and lotus represents love. The lotus is a symbol of holiness in Chinese Buddhism. 5. Firecrackers Chinese people like to set off firecrackers on festivals to add to the festive atmosphere. During major festivals, such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, firecrackers and fireworks are set off to express people's joy and also because Chinese people believe that setting off firecrackers can ward off evil spirits. In traditional Chinese weddings, setting off firecrackers is an indispensable item. The more firecrackers you set off and the louder they are, the better luck they will bring. However, since setting off firecrackers can also have many adverse consequences (such as polluting the environment, injuring people, etc.), some places in China have banned people from setting off firecrackers. So in modern weddings, some people have invented new ways of celebrating, using stepping on balloons instead of setting off firecrackers, which also adds a lot of festive atmosphere to the wedding. 6. Red Bean Red beans, a traditional Chinese wedding token, are often used as a dessert, red bean paste. It symbolizes the sweet love between the two after they get married. 7. Bless the Food The traditional Chinese wedding tokens of red dates, longans, peanuts and lotus seeds all symbolize the continuation of offspring, the birth of sons, family reunions, wealth and good fortune. 8. Bun "Heji", also known as "Jiefa", is a traditional Chinese wedding token. The symbolic meaning of "Heji" is harmony between husband and wife and eternal love. People often use "结发" and "合结" as nicknames for the union of husband and wife, and even specifically refer to the "original wife" (also known as "yuanpi") couple, to express the great significance of mutual respect and love between husband and wife. |
