What’s the point of setting off fireworks during a wedding?

Question 1: What does it mean to set off firecrackers at a wedding? The purpose of setting off firecrackers at a wedding is the same as setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival to drive away evil spirits. In the past, firecrackers were not set off when a man married a woman, but it was only later that girls from two families competed for a son-in-law. Legend has it that there was a family named Wang who married a young man. It's dawn in the east, and the lights in Wang's courtyard are as bright as day. The young master was dressed in a red robe and his face was full of spring breeze. The Wang family, old and young, as well as the houses in the street, were all waiting for the bride to arrive! At about nine o'clock, the busy guests carrying trays and pots called out: "The bride is here, come and see her." Following the shouts, the Wang family and " "Yue Lao" all went out to greet them, with cheers, laughter, and praises coming one after another, and the beautiful and sweet suona sounds even filled the night. The bride entered the courtyard shyly amid the crowd. Just as they were preparing to pray to the bride and groom, the housekeeper suddenly ran in in a panic and said to Mr. Wang: "Another big sedan was brought outside and lingered in front of the door. He said that he and my son came to sworn husband and wife. "After hearing this, Master Wang was very surprised and sent someone to find "Yue Lao". After hearing this, "Yue Lao" also felt baffled and confused. I thought to myself: "I have promised a marriage, why are there two sedan bearers here?" "Yue Lao" thought it was strange that the two brides looked exactly the same, like twin sisters. The answers to the questions were exactly the same, no difference at all. "Yue Lao" had no choice but to ask the Wang family to stop the bride and groom from worshiping heaven and earth, and took the bride and groom to the county government for judgment. The county prince went to the wedding hall on the street. The two brides refused to give in and argued with each other, saying that they were real and the other was fake and that they were transformed into goblins, which made the county prince feel dizzy for a while. After pausing for a moment, the county magistrate came up with an idea: "I will erect a two-foot-high pillar here. Whoever climbs up first will be married to the prince of the Wang family; whoever cannot climb up will be kicked out." "With the order, the bride who arrived first climbed up like a whirlwind, while the latter was so anxious that she cried on the ground and couldn't climb up. At this time, only a few deafening sounds of firecrackers and thunder were heard, and then several loud bows and arrows were shot at the bride on the top of the pillar. Everyone saw with their own eyes, a wisp of blue smoke. , went straight up to Yunxiao, and what fell down was the body of a fox. It turns out that the "bride" who arrived first was a fox. Later, people realized that in order to prove who was a mortal and who was a fairy, the county magistrate used a clever trick to make the two brides climb a two-foot-high pillar. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary women to climb a two-foot-high pillar. Since one of them could easily climb to the top of the pillar, the county magistrate decisively concluded that he was a demon and immediately ordered someone to shoot arrows to catch the demon. From then on, when people get married, they always set off firecrackers first to ward off evil spirits and for good luck. This practice of symbolizing good luck has been passed down to this day.

6. On the way to the wedding, if you encounter another wedding convoy , called "Happiness clashing with happiness", will offset each other's blessings, so firecrackers must be set off for each other, or the matchmakers of both parties exchange flowers to resolve it.

Question 5: I would like to ask a question about setting off firecrackers at a wedding. Usually when the man sets off from home, as soon as the car starts, the firecrackers will start to be set off at the man’s home. Then on the way, the groom’s buddy (usually the groom’s buddy, or the groom’s friend) will start setting off firecrackers. Relatives or friends, but they are all men) help set off firecrackers. We are more particular about weddings here, so we set off firecrackers all the way to the intersection of the girl’s house. Then when we reach the intersection, the groom’s buddy who helped set off the firecrackers will get out of the car first and set off some firecrackers. There are louder firecrackers and electric whips. The firecrackers are set off along the way to show the joy of the wedding and to make people on the roadside think that the wedding is grand and honorable. When they arrive at the intersection of the woman’s house, the firecrackers are set off to inform (hint) the woman that she is getting married. It means that the man has come to "rob someone" (haha, in fact, because there will definitely be trouble in the woman's family, and they will ask for wedding money or wedding candy, so using the word "rob" is more festive), and then, after getting off the car, there will be trouble, and some The girl's family is relatively nice, and there is no fuss or trouble. Then if the boy is nice, he will give some wedding money to the future parents and the girl's close relatives. Usually it is in the morning when he goes, so of course he has some breakfast first. At the same time, the bride’s family will unload the betrothal gift brought by the groom, and after almost finishing the breakfast, the bride’s bride will be ready. Then the groom will carry the bride onto the float, and before leaving the girl’s room, the bride’s family will start setting off firecrackers. The girl got on the car amidst the sound of firecrackers, and then went all the way to the groom's house. The brothers on the car would set off firecrackers before the float reached the intersection of the groom's house. At this time, the groom knew that the bride was coming, and the firecrackers were set off again at home. Then the bride will arrive home, haha, it won’t matter if she comes back. In fact, as long as you are happy, it will be fine, which is how complicated it is only in rural areas

Question 6: What is the right time to pick up the bride after the wedding? Shooting off, do you have anything to say?

You also need to leave it when you arrive at the bride’s house. But you'd better ask the local elders, because there will be some small differences in different places, so as not to make a mistake hunjia.shangdu/
