What did you say when you got married and combed the bride's hair in ancient times?

When I got married in ancient times, when I was combing the bride's hair, I said: comb it to the end, comb it to Qi Mei with white hair, comb it to the children and grandchildren, and comb it to four silver bamboo shoots.

The detailed explanation is as follows:

Comb it from beginning to end, which means blessing marriage from beginning to end.

Two combs were given to Qi Mei, a white-haired man, which meant wishing the couple a long life together.

Comb your children and grandchildren everywhere, which means to bless them.

Four combs to four silver bamboo shoots indicate wealth and long life.

Extended data:

In ancient times, it was called "upper comb", also called "upper comb". This is the etiquette for the bride to change the braid into a bun and put on the headdress before the wedding, and it is also the etiquette for changing the hairstyle before the wedding. Middle-aged women who are both long-lived and happy (that is, the couple whose children and grandchildren are full of houses) should ask them to comb their hair and speak out loudly at the same time.

The ceremony also includes putting on a wedding dress, dressing up and wearing jewelry. It is usually held at dawn, with mats, incense and candles. ?

After liberation, most brides don't tie their hair in a bun or pin, so the custom of "combing their hair" is no longer as particular as it used to be.
