Double happiness originally refers to the simultaneous occurrence of two happy events, namely "double happiness at the door":
When people get married and hold a wedding ceremony, they always use the word "Xi", that is, the word "Xi", and stick it on the door of the wedding room and the dowry to express their congratulations. But strangely, the word "Xi" is not a Chinese character.
In ancient times, Wang Anshi hurried through Suzhou. There is a local Mr. Ma. In order to choose a satisfactory husband, a daughter hangs a lantern at the door of her house, which reads "Part One".
Wang Anshi had not had time to make couplets at that time, and when he finished the imperial examination, he passed by Mr. Ma's house. Seeing that no one made the bottom line, he wrote the bottom line with a pen. Mr. Ma was very happy to see that he spoke neatly, so he recruited him as his son-in-law and prepared to get married some other day.
When Wang Anshi and Miss Ma were worshipping heaven and earth, the subordinates reported that he had gone to be the top scholar, and the couple and guests were very happy. Wang Anshi wanted to write pen and ink, so he casually wrote a pair of "hi" on red paper and posted it on the door.
Since then, double happiness has spread among the people. Later, when people marry their daughters, they will stick red "Xi" on the doors and windows for good luck.
It was also because Wang Anshi's couplets were right that he was recruited as a son-in-law by an aide. On the wedding day, I just learned that he was going to be the number one scholar, so I wrote a pair of "hi" on red paper and posted it on the door. Since then, it has become a tradition to paste the word "hi" when getting married.
