Introduction to the Wedding Residence: The Kang family pays great attention to ostentation when getting married. The bridal chamber is warm and luxurious. The welcoming procession stretches for several miles. There are three groups of drums, six colored sedans, colorful flags flying, and hundreds of guests. It is very lively. In the wedding home, the plates on the Eight Immortals table are placed with red dates, peanuts, osmanthus, and chestnuts, symbolizing early birth of a child; the buckets are placed with grains, symbolizing a good harvest; the onions are placed in the hope that future generations will be smart; the saddles and tamarisks are Son means that the bride has to "ride a saddle and cross a rafter" when she enters the house. Taking its homophony, it means that she will have a safe life. The nave painting on the front is the "God of Marriage" and the two immortals, symbolizing a harmonious and happy marriage and a century-long union between husband and wife. The couplet on both sides reads, "The eyebrows are painted with willow green, and the eyebrows are red with Shouyang makeup." It means that Zhang Jingzhao used dark green to describe his wife's eyebrows with willow leaves, and Princess Shouyang decorated her forehead with red plum blossoms. There are several very interesting "hi" characters on the left, written in different ways. A long "xi" means always being happy, a round "xi" means perfection, and a double "xi" means "double happiness". Although they are written in different ways, they all express good luck and good wishes.
