BEIJING: At some Chinese weddings, a little boy is invited to roll across the wedding bed while chanting blessings, praying for the couple to have children and enjoy prosperity.
Known as gun chuang or “rolling the bed”, this centuries-old tradition originated in northern China but has since spread nationwide.
