Li Yanghua, who was standing aside, glanced at his phone and then moved closer to Zhang Bei.

"They agreed to live broadcast, Zhang Baotou, you can start."

Zhang Bei had already taken out the live broadcast equipment when he got off the car, but the ancient media didn't give him any information, so it was impossible for him to open it directly.

Now that he had received a positive answer, Zhang Bei's finger quickly pressed the button to start the live broadcast.

As the dark live broadcast room lit up, the sound of suona suddenly rang in the ears of the audience.

The alligator is beaten every day: [Throne, I seem to hear a musical instrument gangster?]

He kicked the lame man's good leg fiercely: [Sofa, I didn't sleep all night, but luckily I caught up!]

Car dealer: [Front row, is this a wedding?]

Zhang Bei glanced at the crowd pouring into the live broadcast room, and introduced him in a low voice as he followed the team forward.

"Today I will show you a standard Han Dynasty wedding, but before that I need to let you know the general process."

"The Han Dynasty was the period when many cultures in our country originated, and it was also the time when culture was most prosperous."

"The Han Dynasty wedding inherited the Zhou rites as its blueprint, with elegance, nobility, and solemnity as its charm. Tracing back to its roots, it is a national wedding that embodies the classic Chinese cultural tradition."

"Most of the weddings we see now are Chinese-style weddings that were incorporated into the Qing Dynasty weddings during the Republic of China period."

Speaking of this picture, Bei held the camera in a circle and stayed on the groom's body for a while.

"Let's start with clothing. During the Han and Zhou dynasties, black and red were advocated, and wedding dresses were usually based on these two colors."

"The clothes worn by the groom in front of us are called Quju, which is a style of Hanfu."

"There are twelve pieces of ancient deep clothing, all with the wide head at the bottom and the narrow head at the top. They are commonly called gussets. The ones that follow the gussets and hook the sides are called curved trains."

After briefly introducing the clothes, Zhang Bei began to describe the specific process.

"Niu Stan knows that the Zhou rites in our country are the most complicated, and the rules of the Han Dynasty that inherited the Zhou rites are countless."

"The overall structure can be roughly divided into pre-wedding ceremonies, main wedding ceremonies, and post-wedding ceremonies."

"What we can see today is the main wedding ceremony. As for the pre-wedding ceremony and post-wedding ceremony, you can listen to my explanation first."

"The rules in pre-wedding rituals all come from "Rituals·Shihun Rites"."

"Pre-marriage nacai means that a man proposes marriage to a woman and uses wild geese as a gift. Ziyou: a coquettish ceremony, a gift of nacai, and a wild goose."

"Asking for the name refers to asking for the woman's name after accepting the bride, so as to predict whether the marriage will be successful and whether the marriage will be successful or not. It depends on whether the marriage is good or bad. If the guest holds the goose, ask for the name; if the master agrees, the guest will be given the name."

"Naji means that after asking for names, the man needs to go to a Taoist temple to divine the birthdays of both men and women. If there is a good omen, he will send an envoy with geese to the woman's house to announce the good news. The ceremony is like Naji."

"Therefore, it is self-evident: Return to the temple for divination, and if you get a good omen, send an envoy to tell you."

"Naizheng is the current betrothal gift, which is also the betrothal gift. It has its own meaning: levy means success. The messenger pays the money to complete the wedding."

"The last step of the pre-wedding ceremony is the date of application. At this point, the preparations officially begin."

"The man chooses an auspicious date for the wedding, formally agrees with the woman, and gives the goose as a gift."

"Ziyou: Please come and use the wild goose!"

Just the steps of a pre-wedding ceremony have already caused a group of people in the live broadcast room to quickly raise questions.

In the eyes of most people, in ancient feudal society, men were superior to women. When did we need such respect?

Zhang Bei glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room and continued to popularize science.

"Everyone can see the main wedding ceremony today. I will explain it when we get to the steps. Let's talk about the post-wedding ceremony first."

"The post-wedding ceremony is also called the coming-of-age ceremony, which is the moment when the woman shows off her womanhood after passing the wedding ceremony."

"When a woman meets her aunt, in ancient times she called her father-in-law uncle and her mother-in-law aunt."

"On the early morning of the second day after the wedding, the bride gets up early, takes a bath, and carries a bamboo vessel filled with dates, chestnuts, and glutinous rice to wait outside the door of her parents-in-law's bedroom."

"Generally speaking, the man's family doesn't embarrass anyone. He gets up early and gets ready. As soon as the daughter-in-law comes, he opens the door and lets people in."

"The second step is for a woman to give gifts to her aunt. It means that on the third day after the bride comes to the house, she has to go to the kitchen and cook to give gifts to her aunt."

"Uncle and Auntie: The parents-in-law feed the bride and rinse her mouth, and reward the bride with a gift to show the care of the elders."

"This gift can be understood as a change fee."

"The last step is to meet the married woman in the temple. Three months after the marriage, the husband's family will choose a day to take the bride to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestors to show that the woman has officially become a member of the husband's family."

"Even if the wedding steps are completely completed here, it also marks that the newlyweds have officially become a family."

Zhang Bei's science popularization was temporarily over, allowing some people in the live broadcast room who still had their brains to count the time silently.

From start to finish, even the fastest process will take a full two years.

As the team gradually advanced, many people gathered around to watch the fun.

A man standing nearby wearing a handyman's uniform held a gong and struck it hard, shouting loudly.

"Today my young master is getting married. I invite people from all over the world to give me some small gifts to wish him well!"

As the voice fell, people who were ready immediately put a bag of grains in cash and gave it to the crowd watching the excitement.

Zhang Bei also moved the camera to explain.

"In ancient times, those who could hold such large-scale weddings were usually wealthy families, so inviting people from all over the world meant they could come and have a meal to witness it."

"Grains used to be very valuable. This bag was almost a day's ration for a family of three. Usually there were a few copper coins on it, and the number was variable."

"This is a pure Han Dynasty wedding, and the money system we have now should also be adopted."

The man was shocked when he saw this wedding. There were no luxury cars or drones hovering in the sky.

But with a simple band and complicated rules, the wedding completely showed its solemnity at the beginning.

The lively scene made many people take out their mobile phones to take pictures, but some people were curious and asked if they could follow along to see what happened next.

The team became larger and larger, with a few servants walking in front. The groom was riding a white horse and was surrounded by the crowd, approaching the bride's home step by step.

Passing a Taoist temple on the way, the whole team stopped instantly, and the groom also dismounted and bowed politely.

"Xiaosheng is getting married today. If he disturbs the ancestor, he still hopes to be respected, and he will definitely worship her in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone picked up three sticks of incense and walked into the Taoist temple.

Zhang Bei also took this time to explain the reason to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"During the Han Dynasty, there was almost no Buddhism, and Taoism naturally became the largest religion in our country."
