Auspicious Dates And Chinese Wedding Customs
Selecting auspicious dates for important family events has been a tradition in the Chinese culture for over two centuries. The Chinese believe that it is important to select the right dates to ensure the greatest levels of happiness and luck. Weddings and business deals are selected according the best auspicious dates.
Ancient customs began with a wedding proposal utilizing a person as a go-between to conduct the transaction in a very controlled business-like manner. The negotiations would always be between the parents. This was done to assure ancestral lines would stay strong and to create important familial ties.
During the betrothal process details of both families were exchanged and an amount for the woman's family in goods and money would be negotiated. The intermediary would present the bride to be's family with several auspicious dates provided by the man's family to select from. Gifts such as tobacco, wine, male and female poultry and tea would be given to the woman's family from the man's family. This process could last from one to two years.
Preparation of the bride to be was referred to as coming out of the cock loft. The woman would be secluded away from her family and spend time with her closest friends singing songs lamenting her separation from family and condemning the intermediary, the groom to be's family and even the woman's parents.
The rituals of the bride to be and groom to be on the day of the wedding are known as the hair dressing and capping rituals. The bride washed her hair using pomelo to cleanse herself of evil spirits. The groom to be would receive a cap on his head made with cypress leaves. Red clothing would be worn as well as being used in decorations as a sign of joy.
The wedding day is a simple ceremony. The couple pay homage to Heaven, Earth, family ancestors and the Kitchen God Tsao-Chun. Tea is offered the the groom's parents. The newlyweds share wine a wedding dinner.
Immediately after the wedding the couple is led to the nuptial chamber where they both sit. They are offered wine and honey in goblets linked with red thread. They drink and exchange cups. Sometimes there are feasts after the wedding for days celebrating the union of the families.
