Door Games

Obstacles before the ceremony

In Chinese culture, door games, also known as "challenges" or "tests," are a traditional part of the wedding celebration. They are a series of playful, lighthearted games and tasks that the bride and groom must complete in order to gain entry to their wedding reception. The games are typically organized by the bride and groom's friends and family, and are meant to add an element of fun and excitement to the wedding day.

In traditional Chinese society, marriage was not just a personal relationship between two individuals, but also a union between two families. The door games were a way for the groom to prove his worthiness and ability to care for the bride, as well as a way for the bride's family to test the groom's determination and persistence. By successfully completing the door games, the groom demonstrated that he was capable of taking on the responsibilities of marriage and was committed to his bride.

Today, door games are still a popular part of Chinese wedding celebrations, although they may take on different forms depending on the preferences of the couple and their families. Some couples choose to follow the traditional door games, while others may opt for more modern or personalized versions. Regardless of the specific games or tasks involved, the cultural significance of door games remains the same: they are a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the start of a new marriage and the joining of two families.

Who doesn’t like money?

It is difficult to say who does or does not like money, as people's attitudes towards money can vary greatly depending on their individual circumstances and experiences. Some people may have a strong attachment to money and may enjoy acquiring and spending it, while others may view it as a necessary evil and may not place much value on it.

There are also some people who may not like money for philosophical or ideological reasons. For example, some religious or spiritual beliefs may consider the pursuit of wealth to be a distraction from more important spiritual goals, and may therefore discourage excessive attachment to money. Some philosophical or political ideologies may also view the pursuit of wealth as detrimental to the common good, and may advocate for a more egalitarian distribution of wealth and resources.

In general, it is safe to say that not everyone likes money in the same way or to the same extent. People's attitudes towards money can be influenced by a wide range of factors, including their personal experiences, beliefs, and values.
