The rose wedding is a traditional folk custom in Suzhou's Zhouzhuang that imitates the traditional wedding ceremony of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China periods.
During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song dynasty (1086~1093), Zhou Yingxi, a junior official from Zhouzhuang, donated his residence for a Buddhist temple.
After 5 days of closing the Spring Festival, all of the stores in Zhouzhuang are opened on the fifth day of the first lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth, followed by drums, fireworks and tributes.
Like Christmas Day in the West, it is traditional in China to cook up an enormous feast on Chinese New Year, with dinner tables groaning under the weight of dozens of dishes.
