In Quanzhou, Fujian, what are the customs and habits of a woman going to a man's house?

It is understood that the marriage custom of high dowry in coastal areas has a long history. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the "six rites"-acceptance, asking names, concubinage, acceptance, invitation and congratulations were the six major procedures of marriage:

Nacai: The man's parents asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's parents.

Ask the name: after the woman promised to talk about marriage, the man sent a matchmaker to the woman to ask about the name, zodiac, date of birth and other specific circumstances related to "fate", and went to the ancestral temple to divine and determine good or bad luck.

Najib: Just engaged. The ceremony can be simple or complicated, but the exchange of engagement rings is an essential "procedure". Usually, the man goes to the woman's house accompanied by several cousins and matchmakers, and the two sides personally dress each other.

Expropriation: that is, the man sends the bride price to the woman's house, and whether the marriage is actually established is judged by whether the woman accepts it.

Invitation: Shortly after conscription, the man sends a matchmaker or directly agrees with the woman on the date of the wedding ceremony. In the past, most people had to tell fortune and choose the auspicious day of the zodiac.

Kissing: The groom goes to the woman's house to marry the bride. According to the regulations, plus the entourage, it must be singular. In the evening, weddings are usually held to entertain relatives and friends.

This marriage custom is passed down in this way. Even if there are small changes, it is "consistent". Quanzhou is a famous historical and cultural city, and all kinds of traditional customs and etiquette are well preserved, including this important custom.

And if the man's family wants to give you something, you must accept it, which means you agree or disagree, understand?
