It is a way for the bride to choose their hasband, it has been common since the Tan dynasty, the woman go up to a stage and throw the embroidered ball down to the gus she love, when the man catch the ball the marriage is confirmed, I think this is obsolete to the modern age, because we can design other approches to finish this task, like throwing bounquet.

Talk about the allusion of Mi Sieve, it is said that there was a peach blossom girl, she was good at casting spells so that Zhougong made a mistake in prophecy, as a result, Zhougong was vinctive to the gril and dispatched the soldiers to hunt her down, then the girl blocked the soldiers with a Mi Sieve which has Bagua on it.

Badly, I forgot to take a photo of the Mi Sieve, I did see it hang on the wall, but it is a fact that I didn't save the scene of the Mi Sieve, I'm a little depressed about it.

Throwing Tiles is also related to the legend of Peach Blossom girl fighting Zhougong, there are some explaination about the origin of the custom, one is from the legend of Peach Blossom girl fighting Zhougong, another is the bride was born in a bad day, she will be unlucky and poor in the future, the solution is to step on the tiles and break it, the last one is about Feng Sui, this act can clear the evil spirit in your house.

This custom has a meaning of having a baby, because the tile refered to the parts on the loom, and most women work in sewing industry, so it has a meaning of fiving birth to a daughter.

It's out of my expected since I heard breaking tiles has a meaning of giving birth to a daughter, because I guess no one would associate the pronouciation tile with a idiom in Chinese.

Although the origin of this custom can not be tracked, we still can trace back to Han dynasty, at that time, Rumor had it that the bride would be harmed by three evil, which are green sheeps, black chickens and green cows, this custom means getting rid of bad luck, the derived meaning in now is getting rid of evil and good marriage life.

I don't object to this custom, but the first thing comes to my mind is the danger of the fire, if the bride's wedding dress hit the fire hence it get burned, how can they make up for the physical damage to the clothes and the mental damage to the bride.

The origin of Fan Toss also came from the story of Peach Blossom girl fighting Zhougong, the Peach Blossom gril threw the fan out of the sedan chair to get rid of evil.

Fan Toss has four statement according to the sound of fan in Chinese.

1. "First Name" : Dropping fan means the bride will abandon her first name and replace it with the one from the husband after getting married.

2. "Personality" : It is the in Taiwanese Hokkien, which means abandoning your bad mood, not taking the bad mood to the aunt's house.

3. "Dispersal" : It means the bride leaves her family and nerver back again for divorce.

4. "Kindness" : It is devided into two fans, the first means leave good luck in the bride's family house and the second fan means brring good luck or mood to the husband's family.

For me, Fan is a tool to emerge winds blow through my body to make me feel chilly, I haven't think about it can be a indispensable item in a wedding, it is really amazing.

A bamboo shoot with the leaves, wrapped with a slice of pork.

It was believed to ward off evil.

I like the setting of the bamboo, because it symbolizes a bride's chastity, just like the diverse symbols of bamboo in the past time, it has a lots meaning, such as tenecity, modesty, and high moral character.

In the picture, a young boy offers a tray containing two oranges to welcome the bride to get down from the car. In return, she rubs the oranges to express her gratitude, and symbolize that she's partaken of the sweet fruit. This ceremony is for good fortune.

I probably know why this step is important in the entire process in the wedding, the good fortune manifested in the color of the plate and the orange, in the chinese culture, red stands for luck and blessing, so it is a good symbol for the couple, besides, orange has a similar sound as 吉, in the Chinese idiom 大吉大利, so this may be the main cause.

There are six steps in the Six Rituals.

1. Introduction: The matchmaker introduces the male to the female's father.

2. Name requesting: Male asks about the female's name and birthday details to predict their further if any.

3. Acceptance: If the above result is favorable, send the matchmaker to accept the marriage.

4. Engagement: Present money gift, bride cake, and jewelry to the family of the bride-to-be at the engagement ceremony.

5. Date selection: Male asks the bride's family about the best wedding date.

6. Wedding date confirmed and groom goes to meet bride at her home escorting her back for the wedding.

In the ancient time, the technology is not advanced, so I think it's common to discuss the marriage with the spouse, but in the modern age, the smartphones is a convenient invention to communicate with others, so it can be mech easier to talk about the details of marriage, thus it won't be necessary to have a face-to-face talk, even so, it's a routine to implement the Six Rituals, I guess another reason is for the courtesy.
