When did auspicious choice originate?

Choose good luck and good days. In the past, weddings, funerals and sacrifices were held on auspicious occasions.

That is, the date chosen by the man for the wedding. Generally, the man will entrust the matchmaker to the woman's house to "beg for a wife", and the woman will write her birthday on red paper (Boshan is called "year's life post"), and give it to the matchmaker to take back to the man's house. On this basis, the man asked the fortune teller to choose the direction of "wedding month", "auspicious day" and "XiShen", which is called "date checking". At the same time, it is also necessary to draw up the taboos of people who greet their loved ones, write them in red paper in duplicate, which is called "year's life post", and send them to the woman's home by the matchmaker, which is called "sending the day", and also give her a bride price. Boshando is used to giving money, which is called "box money". Part of it is used by women to buy dowry, and part of it is left for married women to put in the cupboard, which is called "money for future generations" Huantai County is used to sending chicken, fish, meat, vegetables, noodles, dates and chestnuts to the woman's house with the word "Jubilee", commonly known as "the box on the head". After the "send day", both men and women prepare wedding supplies, and the quilt sewn by the man's family puts a little cottonseed in the four corners, indicating that "the next generation has a son"; The woman's family also invited a woman with two children to help "cover the quilt" and put some red dates, peanuts, money, chestnuts and other things in the four corners, meaning "early birth."

Nowadays, in some feudal conservative families, especially in large families with several generations living under the same roof, the marriage between children and grandchildren still follows the customs of "facing Japan" and "sending it to Japan", and many taboos have been passed down to this day. Some young people choose to get married on May Day, November Day and New Year's Day.

How to choose good luck:

First, generally speaking, it is most advantageous to analyze that time point according to the eight characters of the parties (date of birth, each time point is represented by heavenly stems and earthly branches, for example, Ding Yin). Now, the choice of auspicious day has basically abandoned the auspicious day selection method of the old yellow calendar, and it is only a matter of hours and minutes; Because there is neither a completely good day nor a completely bad day, I can always choose a better time in the day to deal with things.

Second, there is another way to analyze and judge directly by using any information provided by customers, following the principle of harmony between man and nature and holographic vibration, which is suitable for the concept of time in modern society, with strong timeliness and high accuracy!
