What is the local custom of engagement in Xuzhou?

Three media and six certificates, winning the prize, changing posts and passing on Cambodia are essential, and "auspicious day" should also be chosen for marriage. As the saying goes: "Look at a good day", that is, "choose your luck".

In the old customs, men usually choose two auspicious days, one in half a month; One is to let the woman choose in the second half of the month.

In some areas, we also pay attention to animal signs. There is a folk proverb: "greet chickens and rabbits in a positive way;" : second, eight tiger monkeys; Sanjiu snake pig; Fourth, ten dragons and ten dogs; Cattle and sheep five, eleven; Sixth, the horse and the mouse. "However, it is usually on the second day and the second day of the lunar calendar, such as the second day, the fourth day, the sixth day and the tenth day of each month, among which there are more" six ",so it is called" six or six ".

In rural areas, we should avoid the busy farming season, and "gold lays the floor and the old and the young bend over", which is too much for everyone. People in the city like to choose holidays or weekends.

According to the saying of "hometown" in the past, the delivery period must be carried out in written form, and a special person is sent to carry a red bag and wrap it in a "worship box" with wedding documents, moxa sticks, wheat bran and other mascots. The marriage certificate must clearly state: when is the "wedding day", where to greet XiShen when getting on and off the sedan chair, where to greet your god when wearing a crown, and where to greet the blessed god when sitting on a book.

Write some greetings. Such as "heaven and earth", "Xianheng celebration", "long life and wealth" and "happiness from now on". Now only the two sides decide first, and the man will inform the media and the woman.

When the wedding day approaches, you must inform your relatives and friends and invite them to come at that time. This is called "paging". Invitations are often used in cities, but in rural areas, they are generally spoken. Close relatives usually arrive early and enjoy themselves. Second, it is only natural to be a helper and an aunt.
