问题    中式传统婚礼最重要的部分便是拜堂。新人走到天地桌前,上面放有装满粮食的斗,斗内四角放若干硬币,供亲朋好友求取吉利。斗中要插一柏枝(branch of cypress),枝上缀有铜钱,这个柏枝便被称作“摇钱树”。斗旁放一杆(steelyard)、一面镜、一架织布机杼(loom)、一盏灯或一支蜡烛。新郎在左,新娘在右,并肩站在天地桌前,执事人高声喊道:“一拜天地,二拜高堂,夫妻对拜。”民间的说法认为,男女只有在拜过天地后才能算作是正式夫妻,因此拜堂的仪式非常重要。

选项

答案    Performing formal bows by the groom and the bride is the most important part of a traditional Chinese wedding. The newlyweds would go to the table for the Heaven and the Earth where there was a Dou (a kind of basket) full of grain. Many coins would be placed in the four corners of the Dou, which were intended for the relatives and friends to get good luck. The Dou would be inserted with a branch of cypress decorated with copper coins. Thus that branch would be called a "money-spinner". Besides the Dou, a steelyard, a mirror, a loom, a lamp or a candle would be placed. The director of the wedding would shout "First bow to the Heaven and the Earth: second bow to the parents: third bow to each other" loudly while the groom and the bride would stand abreast in front of the table for the Heaven and the Earth with the groom on the left side and the bride on the right side. According to the folk idea, a man and a woman would not make a formal couple until they bow to the Heaven and the Earth. Thus the ceremony of performing formal bows by the groom and the bride is very important.
