In ancient times, there has always been a saying that "the bride is married in the morning and the bride is married at night". In ancient China, the bride got married after dusk. The homonym of "Marry and Faint" in Marriage and Dusk is also an example of ancient people's night marriage, which shows that women get married at dusk and change their surnames.

According to historical records, "those who get married say they salute at dusk, so they get married." In other words, holding a wedding at night is a long-standing wedding custom of the Chinese nation. Reading ancient books, it is common for the ancients to describe weddings. For example, The Book of Rites also has a chapter of "confusion", and The Book of Rites has a special chapter of "confusion". However, due to the development of China society and the continuous integration of different ethnic groups, differences in folk wedding customs have always existed.
