still widely practiced at modern Chinese weddings on the wedding day，either at home or at the banquet.It is an official ritual to introduce the newlyweds to each other’s family，and is also a way to show respect and appreciation (感谢) to their parents. Tea is likely served also because it is the national drink of China.

When the tea itself is served，the newlyweds kneel in front of their parents，serving tea to both sides of parents，as well as elder close relatives. Parents give their words of blessing and gifts to the newlyweds. During tea presentation，a “good luck woman” would say lucky phrases to bless the newlyweds and the parents. This “good luck woman” should be someone who is blessed with

a good marriage，healthy children and husband，and living parents.

Newlyweds also present tea to each other，raising the tea cups high to show respect before presenting to each other.
