Chapter 1063 (One Thousand and Sixty Three) Double Happiness
After everyone’s applause fell, Tongli told everyone that Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng would turn when they reached a specific position, and then they would both enjoy themselves. In the sound, they walked on the colorful carpet to the nearby huge "Double Happiness Hall" to "worship the Double Happiness". Others would also enter that place to watch.
The road leading to "Double Happiness Hall" has already been paved with colorful carpets.
The Tiecang tribe and the Lanjia tribe have a custom that on the day of the marriage ceremony, the two married people must "go to the church". The "tang" of "worship hall" mentioned by people of these two tribes refers to "Double Happiness Hall", which is the place where "Double Happiness Worship" is performed. What they mean by "worshiping" is "worshiping in the Double Happiness Hall". The goal that married people want to pray for is "double happiness", and the content of what they call "worshiping to the church" is "double happiness". Some people in these two tribes have always thought that it would be more straightforward for all married people to call the "double happiness worship" activity. However, people who have this idea either just think about it themselves, or they just talk to those who are close to them in private. People talk about it, but no one publicizes this statement at all, because only the patriarch or young patriarch of the Tiecang tribe can publicly call it "double happiness worship" when they get married.
The "double happiness" to be prayed for refers to the word "囍". In the customs of the Tiecang and Lanjia tribes, the "囍" or "double happiness" in the marriage ceremony does not mean "two happy events happen at the same time", but "both people getting married are happy".
After Fang Piaolan was poisoned, she said she wanted to watch the sunrise with Fei Cunyi. Fei Cunyi said, "We still want to worship." The "worship" he meant meant "double happiness." Later, under the threat of the scale beast, the two of them slipped down from the cracked hole in the ground. They happened to see a big red word "囍" on the wall of the underground space. Then, the two of them were sure that they were not close to the end of their lives. Far away, I went to worship there. At that time, after the two people touched the word "囍" and it became brighter, two futons suddenly appeared on the ground. She and he knelt on the futons and saluted to the word "囍". After saying "I" and their names, the two said in unison, "I'm going to worship here today to get married", and then bowed three times to the word "囍", which completed the process of double happiness, which was very important to both of them. For a person who is neither a clan leader nor a young clan leader, it is called "Bai Tang".
Worshiping Double Happiness is an important part of the marriage ceremony in the customs of Tiecang Tribe and Lanjia Tribe. Once the third worship of Double Happiness is completed, the two people who have worshiped will be regarded as a formal couple by others from now on. Therefore, in these two tribes, even if the conditions are limited, some people will pray for double happiness when they get married. They really do not have the conditions to pray for a well-made red "囍" sign, even if they use stones to write "囍" on the wall. The word "囍" should also be bowed three times.
Although the blunt explanation of "worshiping" in these two tribes is "worshiping in the Double Happiness Hall", not all people actually worship Double Happiness in the "Double Happiness Hall".
Some people choose to find a place to place a "囍" sign to pray for Double Happiness, not necessarily indoors; some people choose to temporarily decorate a room that is usually used for other purposes as a Double Happiness Hall to pray for Double Happiness; some people choose to go there specifically for people to get married. The Double Happiness Hall is used for worshiping Double Happiness.
The Double Happiness Hall where Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng held their alliance ceremony was decided by Tie Wandao himself. (End of chapter)
