| Jun 6 at 2:59 | comment | added | Wayne Cheah | As @fat penguin said, the characters you see at weddings are 喜, (Happiness), and 囍, (Double Happiness). This is completely different from 辛苦. This character 囍 means “Double Happiness” because it is made up of 喜 X 2, thus "Double Happiness" The back story in short is that a scholar, in the Tang Dynasty, who came in 1st in the Imperial Examination wrote the word 喜 twice on his wedding day to signify the double happiness of passing the examination and getting married. Henceforth this double happiness symbol, 囍, is a must at all Chinese weddings. | |
