Send the rules of the day.

Marriage is a major event in life, and many newcomers know nothing about the fragmentary rules, especially the rules and regulations about sending a day off. Because of the different customs in each place, all the rules are more or less different.

It is divided into three steps: good, optimistic and good, which is more representative. It is best to choose an auspicious day before marriage, such as February 2, April 8 and June 6. The matchmaker will go to the woman's house to ask for her zodiac sign. The woman's family wrote "Kun Ming × Xiang × Month × Day × Birth" on a red note and gave it to the matchmaker to take back to the man's family. According to the woman's birthday, the man asked someone to choose the wedding date in Yue Ji, which is considered promising.

Optimism is mainly to find out the location of the wedding month, auspicious day and XiShen, and at the same time calculate the taboos of those who greet their relatives in the zodiac. In the old days, there were many songs to follow, such as "Zheng Qi welcomes chickens and rabbits, 28 tigers and monkeys, 39 snakes and pigs, 40 dragons and dogs, 51 cattle and sheep, and 62 rats and horses." The taboo song for seeing off relatives is: "Chen Ziwu avoids snakes, chickens, cows, ugly tigers, horse dogs, pigs, rabbits, sheep, dragons, rats and monkeys." Generally, two auspicious days are chosen, one in the first half of the month and the other in the second half of the month, which are determined by the woman's family to avoid her menstrual period. I will write a marriage certificate and send it to my wife's house when I choose an auspicious day. This is a good pass.

"Good" is not only a good day to send a wedding, but also a bride price for the woman. Most of the bride price is red shirts, blue coats, rings, pendants, belts and so on. They are wrapped in red bags with cypress branches, which means "longevity". Linqing is called "check the date". When the man checks the wedding date, he formally informs the woman and attaches a "wedding invitation" (commonly known as "head invitation"), indicating the bride's dress, dress, direction and time of getting on and off the sedan chair. In Laiyang and Mu equally, the delivery day is also called Tongri, and the man's family also sends colored coins as the dowry of the woman's family. "Day-to-day" must be held in the bimonthly forty days before marriage. Since then, the woman has not gone out and is preparing to get married at home.
