What do you mean, get married and send away?

It refers to sending the wedding date set by the man to the woman's house with red paper and giving a bride price at the same time.

The wedding day is divided into three steps: good, good and good:

1, even better

As long as you 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.

2. Optimism

According to the woman's date of birth, the family asked someone to choose a wedding date in Yue Ji, which is considered promising. It is mainly to find out the wedding month, auspicious day and the location of XiShen, and at the same time, it is also necessary to find out the taboos of people who greet their relatives in the zodiac. 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 is determined after the woman chooses.

Step 3 send it well

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. It is not only a good day to send a wedding, but also a dowry 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". The man confirms the wedding date, formally informs the woman, and attaches a "wedding invitation" (also called "head invitation" in the secular world), indicating the bride's dress, dressing, the direction and time of getting on and off the sedan chair, etc.

In this custom, the two sides will not discuss each other too much in advance. The man's family thinks that the time is ripe for marriage, so it is called "staring at the son and then giving it to the woman for approval" and "sending the son well". The woman's family knew that the man was in a hurry to get married. After the woman accepts the "good boy" sent by the man, some places will put a piece of fermented dough in the gift, hoping that the small family to be formed will make a fortune and the days will get better and better. At this time, the man began to get married happily.

Extended data:

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.
