Why is the ancient wedding night called the wedding night?

The ancient wedding night was called the bridal chamber. It is said that this was stipulated by our ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Stealing wives often happened at that time. Later, the Yellow Emperor came up with a way to order a man and a woman to enter the cave, and then sealed the door with stones, leaving only one mouth to deliver food to their families until they cultivated their feelings. This is called marriage, and it is not allowed to rob other men and women.

Thousands of years of habits are the most terrible, and they cannot be completely changed overnight. At that time, some people were not used to monogamy. After all, it has been a society where men are superior to women since ancient times. Later, people still had three wives and four concubines, which was not abolished until modern times.

The bridal chamber, also known as "teasing the daughter-in-law" and "disturbing the room", was held on the wedding night. Most relatives and friends will tease the bride and groom on this day, and the game of teasing the bridal chamber is also quite interesting.

In the past, when there was a conflict between guests, they pretended to be embarrassed or started in a hurry. After joking, they became a lot of popular, and it was meaningless to laugh at everyone. Nowadays, there are many customs about making a scene in the bridal chamber. I believe that no matter how noisy, the host should not be angry, the more noisy, the happier. There are many jokes, and most of the grooms have difficulties.

Song Qingyu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Zhang Shui Department's recent trial": "The bridal chamber stopped red candles last night, waiting for Tang Xiao to visit my aunt."
