The seating arrangement on the wedding banquet is very exquisite, uncle and uncle are the elders of the family, in the case of limited location of the main table, the wedding banquet main table sitting uncle or uncle? Generally speaking,
Uncles are better at the head table than uncles
1. It is related to the traditional social system
There are two kinds of social systems in ancient China, one is the matriarchal system and the other is the paternal system. Due to historical reasons, the status of uncles is very high, which is reflected in the combination of these two systems. In the matriarchal society, everyone only knows who their mother is and does not know who their father is. Therefore, there is no concept of father, and this feeling will be integrated into the brothers who grow up with them, and the brothers will act as a position of father and play the role of father.
2. It is related to the life of the ancients
The average life span of ancient people was not very long. Therefore, when the daughter is married, the father may have been old, and the woman's brother and uncle are dominant, so the older brother often plays a very big deciding role in the marriage of women, which is also a reflection of long father like brother.
3, the ancients feel that the relationship between uncles is closer
The qi of relatives refers to the relatives on the female side, especially the uncle can be called qi. Why not let uncles and uncles who are closer to you sit at the table? It is precisely because these people are in the family, so there is a certain competition for property inheritance and competition, and uncles, as relatives, can not share the property of the family, so naturally the relationship will be more intimate.
At the same time, China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and the generation of uncles is larger, so
It's customary for an uncle to sit at the wedding table
