Collecting the new badges with Caleb! Familial gege confirmed again! “以前女子出嫁都是兄长背出门”你开玩笑。夏以昼也笑了:“把你从你的房间背到我的房间?” Translation: In the past, when a woman got married, her elder brother would carry her out the door,” you said jokingly. Xia Yizhou smiled, “Carrying you from your room to mine?” There are many customs surrounding a bride getting into the sedan chair, the most common of which is that the bride's feet must not touch the ground and get dust on them. According to surveys, besides the Han ethnic group, this custom is also observed by over twenty ethnic minorities, including the Hui, Manchu, Miao, Yi, and Tujia. Why must the bride not step on the ground? There are various explanations, the main ones being as follows: First, it is feared that she might take away the dust of her natal family, thereby carrying off their fortune; second, it is because the bride is reluctant to leave her home; third, it is believed that the bride carries "impurity" with her, making her susceptible to evil spirits—if she steps on the ground while getting into the sedan chair, evil spirits and negative energies from the ground might cling to her and be brought to her husband's home; fourth, some natal families adopt this practice to emphasize the bride's noble status, signifying that she is "transcending the mundane." Since the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, how does she get into the sedan chair? There are several methods: the bride may wear her father's or brother's oversized shoes over her own red embroidered silk shoes and walk to the sedan chair, removing the oversized shoes once inside; alternatively, a red felt blanket or a straw mat may be spread on the ground for her to walk on. The most common method, however, is for the bride's elder brother to carry her on his back or in his arms into the sedan chair. If she has no elder brother, her maternal uncle will carry her into the sedan chair. These kinds of customs are still practiced today, but people’s minds are no longer as feudal as in the past, so they are more like a form of etiquette and tradition. #weiguke #伪骨科 #不是亲哥哥可以亲哥哥
