Origin

Tang Li Fuyan (唐-李复言) recorded in "续幽怪錄-定婚店", that when Wei Gu was young, he passed by Songcheng; he saw an old man leaning on his bag and flipping through a book under the moonlight. Wei Gu asked what book he was reading; he said it was the marriage book of the world, and said that there was a "red rope" in the bag, which was secretly tied to the feet of the man and the woman to make them become husband and wife. The Philosophy of Old Zhang, 28: "Old Long refused to write a marriage book! He also has his reasons; they believe in not making offerings to the gods; the same as not making offerings to the Zi Sun Maiden; Santa Claus under the Moon!"
