What China culture can't be understood by foreigners?
Boom! Bounce Bounce
It was just dawn, and before six o'clock in the morning, I was awakened by these noises.
The first reaction is: Is something wrong?
When I got up, I saw someone getting married nearby.
This is the first time I have met a Chinese wedding.
The firecrackers were so loud that the electric cars in the whole community screamed. ...
Although every place in China has different wedding customs.
But according to my observation,
Most city weddings have two indispensable elements: a wedding car and firecrackers.
These two elements are invisible in Japanese weddings.
First of all, Japanese weddings generally have no habit of driving a wedding car.
Watching China's wedding, one by one, moving forward together like a long row of wedding cars.
I feel that the leader of a country is going out.
This shows that the wedding is very beautifully dressed, so I think it's good to have a wedding car.
But for the latter-firecrackers, because of the shock, I said I had a shadow over it.
In China, a small city where I once lived, there has always been the custom of setting off firecrackers.
Once I walked to the crossroads, the people in the wedding car threw a string of firecrackers and exploded at my feet. Jump!
At that time, I was shocked and thought that the loud noise was made by the broken car next to me. I thought I was going to have a terrible traffic accident.
I didn't realize it was firecrackers until the car passed by.
I also saw children playing with rocket-propelled fireworks there. It was also a loud noise.
I heard that some big cities forbid setting off firecrackers, which I think is a good thing!
I have attended several friends' weddings in China and have seen this kind of salute. I thought there would be a war.
They usually ask the wedding company to arrange it. There are singing, dancing and toasting programs at the wedding, which is really lively.
At this time, it is also a challenge for me to chat with the guests around me at the banquet. It's too difficult!
Although there are many cultural shocks, it is a very special experience for me to feel these wedding customs.
There are also many wedding customs in Japan.
But as far as wedding forms are concerned, there are mainly two kinds, one is European and the other is traditional Japanese.
Either way, we attach importance to the sense of solemnity.
At the wedding, the bride will read a thank-you letter to her parents on the spot, which is very touching.
Thanks to the scene, the bride couldn't say two words, and her parents began to wipe their eyes.
After reading the manuscript, all three people may cry silently into tears.
At this time, the groom is generally comforting. I think only he is in a good mood at this time, because he can finally get the beauty back!
Through these wedding customs, I think we can see the cultural differences between the two countries.
For example, people in China prefer to be lively and express their feelings directly, so the wedding is very festive.
Japanese prefer solemnity and are more willing to express their feelings tactfully, so the wedding is quieter.
Wedding customs are also influenced by various factors, such as religion,
In Japan, there is a traditional wedding called "pre-ceremony".
A simple and rude explanation is that the wedding ceremony should be held in front of a god.
This kind of wedding is particularly solemn and solemn, with a strong religious atmosphere.
To explain these reasons clearly, all the details and the story of origin should be told.
But I can only talk about it based on my own experience.
In fact, I said so much just to tell my neighbors,
I can't stand the thunderous firecrackers in the morning (two lines of clear tears)!
