What are the taboos in traditional Chinese wedding customs?

1. About the wedding date

It is best to avoid getting married in the third, seventh and ninth months of the lunar calendar, because these three months coincide with the "Qingming Festival", "Yulan Festival" and "Chonggong Festival", all of which are traditional "Ghost Festivals". These were months for sacrifices in ancient times and are not suitable for holding weddings. At the same time, try to avoid your parents’ birthdays when getting married, otherwise it may conflict with their horoscopes. >>Four tips to choose an auspicious day, teach you how to choose a good day easily!

2. Matters concerning bed placement

When placing the bed, you should place it in the right position in the room, and avoid placing it opposite to sharp corners of furniture such as cabinets and table corners. From the time the bed is set up until the eve of the wedding night, the groom-to-be should avoid sleeping alone on the new bed. If he must sleep, he needs to find an underage boy whose zodiac sign is the dragon to sleep with him.

3. Avoid having pockets in your wedding dress

The bride's dress should not have pockets, otherwise it would symbolize taking away her family's fortune, which is not auspicious.

4. Don’t stay overnight at your parents’ home when you return home

Usually on the third day after the wedding, the groom will accompany the bride back to her parents' home to formally pay homage to them as a sign of respect. On this day, the newlyweds will bring gifts back to their parents' home to worship their ancestors or have a simple meal. They must return to their new home on the same day and cannot stay overnight at their parents' home, because in the old days there was a saying that the new house cannot be empty within one month after the marriage.
