After the groom completes the wedding reception, he and the bride return home together. The bride has many things to pay attention to when entering the door, such as inviting someone who is fully blessed to lead the bride in, not stepping on the threshold when entering, crossing the brazier, washing the face, not walking around randomly, and avoiding some people when entering the door.
1. Please have the blessed one lead the bride into the door
A fully blessed person refers to a person whose parents are still alive, their children are both intact, and their husband and wife are harmonious. Allowing them to lead the bride into the door can pass on good luck to the newlyweds and wish them a happy and fulfilling marriage life for a hundred years.
2. Step over the threshold
People believe that the threshold is a "ridge", which means disaster, and crossing the threshold means crossing the disaster, which means beauty. In addition, the threshold, also known as the threshold, is the boundary of a family, the boundary between inside and outside the door, and inside and outside the home. Stepping on the threshold is disrespectful to the host family.
3. Cross Fire Pot
In traditional Chinese wedding customs, there is a saying of crossing the brazier, which symbolizes eliminating bad luck and wishing the newlyweds prosperity and good luck. When crossing the brazier, it is necessary to find someone to help the bride, as she is covered with a red hood and her visibility is poor, making it easy for the brazier to overturn.
4. Wash your face
After the bride enters the door, the groom's younger siblings or nephews will bring facial wash water, and a towel will be placed in the basin. The bride can touch the towel in the water with her hand to indicate the intention of washing her face, without actually washing her face. The significance of Xianmian lies in the fact that the bride has come from afar and needs to clean her face and dust to show a warm welcome.
5. Don't wander around randomly
The bride can't walk around after entering the door. She needs to stay in the wedding room, sit on the wedding bed, and wait for her mother-in-law to bring rice dumpling, peanuts, red dates, etc. for the new couple to eat. These foods mean reunion and early birth.
6. Some people want to avoid it
When the bride enters the door, there are some people who need to avoid clashing with joy, such as pregnant women, aunts, sisters in law, etc. But in some areas, parents in law also need to avoid it, and the bride has to wait until the next day to visit.
