Synonym sworn brother

Becoming sworn (hereinafter referred to as "Becoming sworn"), nicknamed "Becoming sworn to Jin Lan", commonly known as "Becoming sworn" and "exchanging posts", is a form of brotherhood between peers. Originated from the story of "Three Marriages in Taoyuan" in the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became brothers. Later, people worshipped it, and then imitated it, that is, people with similar interests and similar personalities hit it off with each other and formed a brotherly relationship through certain forms, caring for each other, supporting each other and helping each other in life, and taking care of each other when encountering difficulties. Over time, it has evolved into a kind of etiquette custom with humanistic color. This is the sublimation of friendship, the freezing of social relations, which runs through the Confucian thought of "righteousness" and fills the relationship between family and friendship. It is a special social interpersonal relationship.

Chengyi has a standard etiquette procedure, that is, on a voluntary basis, through consensus, choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, hang Guan Gong and other gods in a place that everyone thinks is more suitable, such as the ancestral temple, and hum three sacrifices, namely pork, fish and eggs (one for each person) and a live chicken (the male is a rooster and the female is a female). Everyone sends out a copy of Jin Lan Spectrum, writes down everyone's name in chronological order, and presses their fingerprints. After the ceremony, everyone will bring a wick and "Jin Lan Music". Then, kill the chicken, drop the chicken blood into the red wine, pierce the middle finger of everyone's left hand (the woman's right hand) with the needle tip, drop the blood into the red wine, stir it evenly, sprinkle three drops on the ground first, and finally take a sip in order of age, and put the rest in front of the statue of Guan Gong. This form, some are also called "blood alliance".

There is no limit to the number of people wishing, regardless of gender or age, but it must be an odd number. In the same year, the same sex became sworn, with men called brothers and women called sisters. It is usually carried out in adolescence, and most of them are like-minded, or in the same boat, or have their own needs. In the old society, there were many rituals and customs of becoming sworn: relatives did not become sworn; It is the in-laws who do not become sworn; Those who have a generation gap do not become sworn; Those who do not agree with the eight characters do not become sworn; Those who break clan rules don't become sworn (once they became enemies with other clans, they vowed to make rules not to marry or marry a certain clan); Those who fail the swearing-in ceremony are not formally sworn in, and so on. With the progress of society and the improvement of civilization, people think that as long as they get along well, they don't have to stick to a certain form. Of course, in reality, there are still some young people who are sworn and relatively indifferent to the old etiquette. The ceremony is generally simple, mostly oral oath. According to etiquette and custom, adults swear in front of Guan Gong statue, "ancestral temple" or other gods. Young people want to be allies, generally they have to get the consent of all their parents before they can take the oath, because their elders are more experienced and cautious.

After the swearing-in ceremony, people who take part in the swearing-in ceremony are called brothers. Some people add the words "Qi", "Lan" and "One" before addressing, while others are commonly known as the eldest, the second and the third ... meaning life and death and * * *, sharing weal and woe. In case of wedding, funeral and celebration, etc. They all associate like brothers.

With the changes of the times, social environment and people's thoughts, this form of mutual care, support and help is very different in form, content and function, forming a close and complicated social relationship between people. People who do good deeds can become a group that is United and progressive and beneficial to social progress. For example, when the Fujian Provincial Party Committee entered Shuikou Sakura in the middle of 1944, the leaders of the Party and guerrillas and the revolutionary masses in Sakura were blood allies. In the special era, through this form of oath, we can strengthen the relationship between the party, guerrillas and the masses, and achieve the purpose of unity, unity and unity, resisting the Japanese aggressors and opposing the Kuomintang reactionaries. Its significance is obvious.

A sworn oath is a good wish for people to realize their ideals in life, but the final result is not expected by everyone, because people's feelings will change, or become indifferent, or even turn against each other because of changes in environmental conditions. Once this happens, the sworn oath will be broken, and allies often break up in discord. Generally speaking, to end the League of Righteousness at that time, it must end in the form of righteousness.

Now the relationship between people is win-win and development, and getting along with friends is the best state. This form of worship is generally not advocated.
