Lintong engagement custom

If the marriage is agreed by the introducer, the two objects will meet at the man's or his relatives' home at the appointed time and get engaged after talking. When meeting, the man should simply entertain, and the main relatives of both parties should attend and participate in the comments. After the conversation, the two will give each other gifts (the man gives the woman four gifts for her suit, and the woman gives the man a lighter gift). If the other party accepts the gift, it means agreement, otherwise there will be a problem.

Second, look at the house.

When looking at the house, the woman's main relatives should accompany her, and the man should throw a decent banquet, give her a heavier gift than when he first met, and at least get dressed. If the man doesn't agree to see the house, he needs to convert the cost of seeing the house into cash, which is purely courtesy.

Third, pull clothes.

After seeing the house, the introducer and both parties agreed on the room number, color, time, place and who to go to. On this day, the man's priest and the introducer who went with the woman entered the county seat, generally pulling four or six bodies.

Fourth, sit and drink.

The etiquette of sitting and drinking is very grand. On this day, men will kill pigs and sheep, prepare chickens, ducks and fish, invite chefs to cook, set up tents to entertain guests, and put loudspeakers at home to show wealth. The man's relatives were invited to bring gifts to the banquet, and the woman informed the clan relatives, the township party and relatives to sit in the media booth to show their approval.

Fifth, choose a good luck.

That is, choose an auspicious day to get married, and the country people call it a festive day. If the man wants to get married, the matchmaker persuades the woman and asks her husband to calculate the auspicious day. First of all, let's look at the male and female zodiac signs of "benefiting the moon" and "losing the moon". There is a ballad of Huiyue: "Zheng and Qi welcome chickens and rabbits, two or eight tigers and monkeys, three or nine snakes and pigs, four or seven dragons and dogs, five, ten, one and six cattle and sheep, and wax rats and horses go." Secondly, choose auspicious days.
