I haven't seen much western influence, such as setting off firecrackers. This strange behavior has nothing to do with the feeling of getting married. It is purely a hobby of many people in China today (this hobby has existed since the Qing Dynasty, but it was played in ancient times. ), such as the amount proposed, there are bargains and counter-offers, which increase the stimulus. People in China like to be busy!

Westerners (not Indians or anyone else ...) have different types of marriages. There are church type (ordinary, luxurious, simple) and secular type. There are simple and complicated ones.

The easiest thing is to register with the court/marriage registry. The type of church is the simplest, as long as there is a priest and two witnesses/bystanders.

Some people rent a room in a small hotel, others eat, drink, chat, sing and dance, and stay busy all night.

Some people wear expensive wedding dresses and have a big banquet in the hotel.

Oh, you know all this.

There is no influence and no way. People don't like to set off firecrackers for money. The bride doesn't like blindfolding, but only likes to wear gauze on her head, more like Wei Jin. If you have to write a paper, write about the influence of the marriage customs of Wei and Jin people on the western marriage customs, although it has no effect in fact.

It is not surprising that China's marriage customs have been changing under the influence of the West. If we compare the marriage customs of modern people with the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, it's a far cry from each other, and you won't believe it.
