How to write marriage documents for men and women in Chaoshan area?

Write a "marriage table": the "marriage table" is drawn up according to the "eight characters" of the married person. Generally, the teacher of Yin and Yang is invited to "see the sun", and he will "infer and understand" and copy it out as a "guide" for men and women to get married on the same day. All related actions should be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the "Marriage Certificate".

note:

(1) Top: that is, the moment when the braid is opened and braided on the disc;

2 wearing a crown: the moment when wearing a phoenix crown and a "welcome suit" ("welcome" is commonly called "Ning" here);

3 avoid three phases: each phase should avoid three phases that collide with each other in related years, which is an ancient folk custom. When the couple get on or off the sedan chair or take a dowry, they have to avoid the avoidance stage, otherwise it will be bad for both sides. The general precepts are: Shen Nian snake, chicken, cow, ugly tiger, horse, dog, pig, rabbit, sheep, dragon, mouse and monkey in Haimao. If you know it, you must consciously avoid it.

5. Send an auspicious day: After the man chooses the wedding date, he should choose an auspicious day to send it to the woman's house, commonly known as "send an auspicious day". In the past, it was done in the form of "exchanging posts", indicating that both parties agreed that they could prepare separately and get married as scheduled without objection. This form was abolished a long time ago, and later it was only verbally told to the woman that she agreed.

At present, the local folk custom of "watching the sky" is still being passed down, but many superstitious and complicated rules and regulations have been broken. Many people get married on major festivals such as May Day, National Day and New Year's Day.
