What does it mean to accept the yellow calendar?

Adoption in the Gregorian calendar refers to one of the most important links in the folk wedding customs, which means that the parents of the man go to the woman's house to invite the matchmaker (adoption by the matchmaker) to express their willingness to propose marriage on behalf of the man and discuss a series of wedding matters. Traditionally, the picking time is about one month before marriage, and the man should prepare suitable gifts and red envelopes to show sincerity and respect. The woman should also entertain the man's parents and matchmaker, and warmly welcome them.

In the traditional wedding customs in China, winning the lottery is one of the important wedding ceremonies. It has the title of "the beginning of a big gift" among the people, which shows the sincere will of the man's family to get married and the core spirit of mutual respect and understanding between husband and wife and family in marriage. As one of the prelude activities of marriage, Nacai not only shows the close relationship between the two families, but also lays a good foundation for getting along after marriage.

Nowadays, more and more young people, especially those from cities, have given up the long-standing form of accepting weddings. This is mainly because of the change of marriage concept and living habits, not because of the lack of etiquette and human feelings. However, as an important part of China's wedding custom culture, Nacai's essence should be inherited and passed on, so that the traditional culture can be carried forward in the era of globalization.
