Baoji engagement custom? Be specific. Thank you.

1. No marriage with the same surname: that is, men and women with the same surname do not marry each other, which began in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and was a rule left over by Zhou people when they practiced extramarital marriage. In the Spring and Autumn Period, people further realized that intermarriage with the same surname would cause abnormal infertility of offspring, but intermarriage with the same surname still occurred from time to time among nobles.

Please ask the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's house before engagement. When engaged, the man gives the woman some property as a "gift", and when married, the woman also brings a lot of property to the man's family, which is called "dowry".

3, two meals: drink first, then eat. When drinking, start to serve eight or four dishes; Then while drinking, serving food, food is varied.

Matters needing attention in engagement:

1. After the engagement ceremony is completed, the woman's house holds a banquet to entertain the man's guests and matchmaker. After the banquet, the man should give the woman a red envelope to press the table (that is, the banquet ceremony, depending on the banquet prepared by the woman, paid in cash). After the banquet, the whole engagement ceremony will come to an end. This process is called "banquet".

2. After the banquet, the man should leave as soon as possible and should not stay long. In addition, the man must not say goodbye to the woman when he goes home, because the next job can't come to the second place.
