郭香美/古代婚禮的膠彩畫

古代婚禮 / Wedding Day:1998 (54" x35.5") 137cmx89cm 膠彩、絹 Gouache、Silk

 新郎歡天喜地迎娶新娘過門,新娘則穿著傳統禮服鳳冠霞帔含羞地嫁入夫家,隨即舉行過門「祭拜禮」及「拜見禮」,象徵新娘正式入夫家門。在「祭拜禮」中是由男方長輩帶著新人一同祭拜家中祖先,向祖先稟告子孫成家立業,祈求家族開枝散葉,也象徵新娘從今而後與夫家成為一家人。緊接著,新人向男方父母行「拜見禮」,並依輩份向長輩奉茶跪拜,用意是藉此認識夫家長輩親戚。新娘奉茶時,媒人婆在旁說上吉祥話,祝福新人,為增添婚禮的喜慶氣氛與和諧。隨後將新人送入洞房,房內預擺椅凳,椅子上放有一件新郎的黑色長褲,褲子下方放銅幣或紙幣,新郎新娘進入洞房後並肩同坐,象徵夫妻同穿一條褲,在未來生活中可以共患難,榮辱與共。媒婆或家中長輩則端著一碗豬心,讓新人各吃一口,象徵夫妻能夠同心。再端一碗紅棗、桂圓煮成的湯圓甜湯,祝福新人婚姻美滿、早生貴子。
