Huizhou wedding customs, deeply rooted in local tradition, offer a vivid window into the rich cultural heritage and timeless charm of Huizhou culture. Known for their solemnity, elegance, and deep sense of ritual, these ceremonies follow a traditional six-step process:

•  Na Cai – the formal proposal,
• Wen Ming – inquiry of the bride's name,
•  Na Ji – divination for auspicious dates,
• Na Zheng – presentation of betrothal gifts,
• Qing Qi – setting the wedding date,
• Qin Ying – escorting the bride to the groom’s home.

Each step is filled with symbolic meaning and heartfelt ancestral blessings, embodying the values of love, family, harmony, and prosperity.
