The reasons for the differences between Chinese and western wedding customs
Chinese Style: It is said that the earliest marriage relationship and wedding in China began with Fu's marriage system and Nu Wa's matchmaking. As "Jing Hua Yuan Wai Ji" said: "There was no difference between men and women in ancient times, and Tai Hao began to set up a wedding ceremony, with the skin of the couple as the gift." Since then, the couple's skin (paired deerskin) has become one of the classic wedding gifts. After that, in addition to the "wedding ceremony", we must also "tell our parents"; During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were festivals of "before welcoming the court" and "before welcoming the court". The Zhou Dynasty was an era of etiquette. At that time, a complete set of wedding etiquette was gradually formed. There are detailed regulations in "Yili", which combine the whole set of rituals into "six rituals". Since then, the production of the Six Rites Wedding has been the template of the traditional wedding in China, which has been passed down to this day.

Western style: This tradition began in15th century, when Austrian Grand Duke maximilian made a wish to Mary with a diamond ring. At that time, his cronies wrote a document: "Your Highness, when you are engaged, you must send a ring with diamonds." Maximilian has escaped. This ceremony has been handed down from now on for centuries.
