In that case, let's get a marriage certificate!

Since you are so loving, let's get a marriage certificate.

From: Marriage Book of the Republic of China

Original text: "Two surnames get married, contract under one roof, and get married forever, matching the same name. Look at the peach blossoms burning today, and IKEA in Yi Shi will be full of fruits and vegetables in the coming year. With the promise of Whitehead, I am willing to write a letter to Hong, so that the alliance of Hongye can be well documented. This certificate. "

Interpretation: The marriage of two families with different surnames is a well-known collocation. When peach blossoms are in full bloom, it is suitable for marriage (quoted from the Book of Songs here). It is expected that in the future, children and grandchildren will spread like melons and prosper from generation to generation (see The Book of Songs: Mian). The agreement to grow old together will be written on paper, and the godsend marriage will be recorded in the book of Yuanyang, just like a poem of red leaves.

Extended data:

Marriage certificate is an agreement between men and women when they got married in ancient China, which originated in the Tang Dynasty. Marriage books include marriage proposal cards, engagement forms and marriage forms, on which are written the names and birthdays of both men and women, as well as the names of referees, hosts, betrothes, grandparents and great-grandparents.

Marriage books were written by hand in early years, and they were often written in red paper and ink. After the Revolution of 1911 (19 12), most wedding documents were printed in ink. In addition to rice paper, wedding books are also made of hard copy, silk surface and wool paper. Some of them are painted with gold powder.

In the old days, marriage books were also called "honeymoon books" and "eight-character posts". Generally, gold paper is used to describe husband and wife. According to the order of male left and female right, the names, dates of birth, places of origin and ancestors of men and women are divided into three generations. There are old sayings on the cover, such as "Heaven and Earth are in harmony, Wen Ding is unique" and "Husband and wife are in harmony, and the pearls are perfect", in duplicate. Choose an auspicious day and let the matchmaker send it as a marriage certificate.
