In Chinese weddings, 敬茶 (jìng chá), which translates to "serving tea," is a significant ceremonial act of respect. During this ritual, the bride and groom serve tea to their parents and elder relatives. This act symbolizes the couple's reverence and gratitude towards their families for all the years of nurturing and care. It's a poignant acknowledgment of the parents' roles in their lives and serves as a formal introduction of the spouse into the family. The parents, in return, will usually bestow their blessings and sometimes gifts upon the couple. This ceremony is a core part of traditional Chinese wedding customs, reflecting the deep-rooted values of filial piety and family unity.
