Rain is a good sine on a wedding day because it helps crops and future success.
Wang Lung, a peasant, actually takes a bath for the occasion.
Incense is burned to appease the Gods.
The poor like Wang Lung have to make a deal from whomever the peasant belongs to. In this case his wife belongs to the House of Whang.
Offerings are made at the temple.
