Chapter 1001: Hold your hand and grow old together
When the bride enters the door, the wedding is just beginning. According to the wedding ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, there are still many “projects” when the wedding ceremony is held.
According to the rules, wedding ceremonies are to be held in Yang Jing’s house, but modern wedding ceremonies are mostly held in hotels. After all, the place at home is too small to accommodate a large number of guests and gifts. Therefore, modern wedding ceremonies are mostly held in places. Hosted in a spacious hotel.
Today, there are more guests coming to Yang Jing’s house. There are hundreds of celebrities and politicians invited by Yang Jing alone, and there are even more people like secretaries or bodyguards who accompany these celebrities and politicians.
If you include the relationship between Yang Dad and Yang Ma, and Yang Jing’s own relationship, there will be a total of six to seven hundred guests here today.
So before Yang Jing picked up the bride, in front of the Yang’s villa, a temporary stage more than one meter high and covering an area of more than one hundred square meters was set up, covered with a red carpet. The ceremony will be held for a while. Will be held on this stage.
When Yang Jing built the four villas where his family lived, he deliberately built a large square in front of the door. The outside of the square was an artificial river in the leisure park. The four villas were all enclosed by the river, with only one bridge. Leading to the outside.
One is for safety, and the other is for peace of mind. As long as the security personnel guard the bridge, outsiders can’t get in at all. Yang Jing is an investor in the Grand Canal Leisure Park. He naturally has such privileges. The above also agrees to this matter.
Now, this large square comes in handy.
Today’s weather is also exceptional. It just rained yesterday, so today’s temperature is not high or low, there are a lot of clouds in the sky, and there is no wind, so it’s great to hold the ceremony outside.
At 11:18, accompanied by the well-known host’s voice full of joy: “It’s auspicious hour, the new couple enters the door, and the bridegroom’s parents are invited to the seat, and the guests are invited to the ceremony. The joy plays… …” The atmosphere on the scene suddenly reached a climax again.
Thomas Garcia from the secretary team is really good at doing things. Because of the style of the wedding ceremony, he didn’t invite the Yanjing Philharmonic Orchestra, but he invited the National Orchestra to come over, so he played as a live music performer today. Yes, this is China’s top national orchestra.
Suddenly, on the small square in front of the spacious Yang family villa, a folk music of “Backgammon” rang out, such as the “Wedding March” written by Wagner or by Mendelssohn when married with many modern young people. “Wedding March” is different. Today, Yang Jing and Ge Ge’s wedding, the joy of the whole process is classical Chinese folk wedding music.
It’s like this song “Backgammon” that has been circulating for many years, and there are such as “Eight Festivals of Long Huan”, “Eight Sounds of Harmony”, “Hundred Mei Niang”, “Feng Qiu Huang”, “Hundred Birds Chao Feng”, etc. The music is all classics of the Chinese Folklore Month.
“You are invited to enter the venue…” The emcee yelled again, and the sound through the loudspeaker appeared exceptionally clear throughout the slightly noisy small square.
At this time, Yang Jing and Ge Ge separated. Yang Jing walked directly onto the small stage, while Ge Ge got into a red curtain next to the small stage.
When Grid walked out of this red tent, she was already holding a round Tang fan in her hand, covering her cheeks, with smiling eyes, under the service of the maids on both sides, stepping on the red The blanket walked slowly towards the stage.
Because it was a Tang dynasty wedding, Grid did not wear a red hijab on top of his head at this time, but was holding a ball fan.
According to the wedding rules of the Tang Dynasty, at this time, Yang Jing needed to give the bride a “but fan ceremony”, that is, the bridegroom officer sang “but a fan poem” to the bride.
According to the wedding rules of the Tang Dynasty, the ritual of fan is equivalent to the bridegroom using a weighing pole to pick off the bride’s red hijab in the bridal chamber. It is a very important etiquette link. The bride in the Tang dynasty wedding did not have a red hijab, and the ball fan was equivalent to the red hijab of the bride. Therefore, the bridegroom had to use the gift of a fan to remove the Tang fan from the bride’s hand.
The fan poem was also memorized in advance by Yang Jing, so when he finished singing the fan poem with one hand, Grid was slightly reserved, but he slowly put down the fan in his hand and smiled at Yang Jing.
Today’s gege can be described as glamorous. If the biggest official present today is the groom’s official, then among all the women on the scene today, the most beautiful is undoubtedly genitive.
She herself looks very beautiful, coupled with today’s heavy makeup and light makeup and the joy from the heart, her smile is immediately full of tens of thousands of styles, as the so-called ‘smile to the city, then smile to the city “Human Country” is no longer appropriate to describe a beautiful bride at this time.
The beautiful bride showed her face, and there was a burst of cheers at the scene. Many foreign dignitaries were also moved by Grid’s beautiful face, and even couldn’t help whistling, making the scene even more lively.
After the ceremony of the fan is finished, following the process is to carry out the ceremony. Of course, before this, the master of ceremonies had a lot of wit, introducing the identity of the bride and groom, the identity of the guests, the identity of the parents of the bride and groom, etc., and the gag caused a lot of small climaxes.
When the mood of all the guests was picked to the highest point, the master of ceremonies finally solemnly announced: “Next is the most exciting ceremony of worship, please move forward…”
After Yang Jing and Gege stood side by side, the emcee said: “On this auspicious day today, our Mr. Yang Jing and Miss Bai Yugege, with two hearts loving each other, finally embarked on this solemn and sacred wedding. Sanctuary! This is exactly the talented person with the beautiful woman, the weaver girl with the cowherd, and the moon is full, and the earth is long! The bride and bridegroom worship heaven and earth…”
“Worship the aura of heaven and earth, there is a marriage on the Sanshengshi! One bow!
Worship the essence of the sun and the moon again, all things growth depends on her! Bow again!
Three worship spring, summer and autumn and winter, good weather and good harvest! Three bows! ”
Yang Jing and Gege followed the voice of the master of ceremonies, side by side, bowing their hands three times to the heaven and earth respectfully.
“The water has its roots, the tree has roots, and the children don’t forget to nurture their graces. Now they are married and have a family business. They respect the old and the virtuous and white-haired parents. .”
“A bow! Happy to become a new home, don’t forget your parents!
Two bows! Eat daily life, honor your parents!
Three bows! Regardless of rich or poor, honor your parents!”
With extremely grateful hearts, Yang Jing and Ge Ge bowed three deeply to their parents who were sitting across from each other.
“Next is the husband and wife worshiping, the two newcomers turn left and right, you ask me how much I love you, it depends on who bows deeply…
Bow! through thick and thin!
Bow again! We grow old together!
Three bows! To tie the knot!”
After three bows, the ceremony of worship is completed.
However, at this time, the entire wedding process has not been completed, and there are still several very important steps to be done. For example, the bride and groom need to kneel on the wedding carpet and accept a boy to sprinkle grains, which means the bride. The groom had an early son.
The boy is the grandson of Grandpa Yang Jing and Grandpa Qiao, the little guy is only five years old this year. He is very funny. The little guy joked and sprinkled a handful of whole grains at the bride, and the ceremony was considered complete.
There is also a “Wo Washing Ceremony”, which is the cleansing of hands and face before the newcomer enters the table. Chinese traditional etiquette emphasizes the awareness of cleanliness, and Xingwo toilet is not only cleansing hands and face, but also means a spiritual baptism of the new couple, which means that the two new couples enter a new life with pure and clear hearts at this moment.
After the “Wo Washing Ceremony”, there is also the “Tong Prison Ceremony”. The ancient Chinese have said that “men and women sit in different seats at the age of seven, and they don’t eat together.” From today onwards, a couple of newlyweds will begin to sit at the same table and eat at the same meal, which is called the ceremony of the same prison.
After the “Tong Lao Li” is over, it is the “He-Wu Li”, which is the modern popular drinking cup of wine. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the meaning of this “combined ritual” was even more important.
The original meaning of Hexuan means to divide a gourd into two to form a complete object. Because gourd is bitter, it must be bitter to hold wine. Therefore, the husband and wife drinking the wine together not only symbolizes the union of the husband and wife from the beginning of the wedding ceremony, and the eternal relationship, but also contains the deep meaning of letting the bride and the bridegroom share the joys and sorrows.
After the “joining ceremony” is over, it is the more important ceremony of “unifying the knots and hairs”, which is the so-called “joining temple.” The so-called “groom untie” and bride’s knotted hair means that the bride and groom have to cut off a strand of hair for each other, then tie it up with a red string and put it in the kit to complete the “combination”, which is preserved by the bride, which symbolizes the harmony of husband and wife. ,To tie the knot.
Hair knotting is the original ceremony of Han wedding. Marriage is considered the most important thing in a person’s life. Therefore, it is necessary to cut a lock of hair to express the importance of marriage and the sharing of honor and disgrace.
After finishing the haircut, www.readwn.com is the “hand-holding ceremony”, which means “hold your hand and grow old with your son”.
At this point, the entire wedding process is truly completed. Of course, the new couple will be sent to the bridal chamber. In the bridal chamber, the bridegroom strokes the eyebrows for the bride, and the bride grinds the bridegroom. The two of them do something not ashamed or ashamed. Learned for outsiders…
A wedding full of Chinese national characteristics not only made the Chinese people who have not been exposed to such an authentic Tang Dynasty wedding for a long time, but also made those foreign celebrities and politicians very enjoyable.
Where have they ever seen such a luxurious but full of ethnic customs? You know, this kind of wedding was in China more than a thousand years ago. At that time, let alone the United States, even Europe was still in the chaotic Middle Ages. How could they have such a wedding?
Therefore, when the last hand-holding ceremony was over and a couple of newcomers walked into the bridal chamber, these celebrities and politicians began to applaud, cheer and whistle enthusiastically regardless of their status. The scene was extremely lively…
