Whether or not to cover one's head during the wedding ceremony can be determined according to local customs and personal preferences. If there is a custom in the local area to wear Xiuhe clothing and cover the head, it is best to follow the custom. If there are no such customs and habits, then according to personal preference, if you don't like the red hood, you can also use other PROPS such as a fan.
The Importance of Red Cap Head
1. The bride's red veil cannot be lifted halfway
The bride's veil cannot be lifted halfway. There is a saying that goes: once the veil is lifted, disaster will inevitably arise. That is to say, from the moment the bride puts on the red veil, it should wait until it can be lifted, and lifting it halfway is considered unlucky.
2. The bride's red veil should be lifted by the groom
It is best for the bride's veil to be lifted by the groom, both emotionally and logically. It should not be casually lifted by others, but if there are specific local customs that allow others to lift it, they can also follow the customs. If not, it is still best for the groom to lift it.
3. The groom cannot lift the red veil with his hands
When the groom lifts the veil, he usually cannot use his hands, but instead uses auspicious objects such as jade ruyi or a weighing rod (also known as a happiness scale) to lift the bride's veil, symbolizing a happy marriage and life.
