The significance of wearing a red hand rope:

1, girls pray for a happy marriage and attract peach blossoms.

In the tradition of China, Yue Lao always uses a red line to tie the marriage between men and women, so it goes without saying that women wear red lines alone to pray for the arrival of marriage. In the past, in order to pray for a beautiful marriage, older married women would go to Yuelao Temple to beg and carry them with them.

2. Men and women marry and promise their love.

Tradition emphasizes implicit beauty, and lovers' love is often implied as fate. This thing that entrusts fate is of course the legendary red line. There is such an old man in the myth that everyone will tie a red line on his little finger when he is born, and the other end is the person who is destined to marry him in this life.

The custom of red line is gradually replaced by red hand rope, which is a symbol of love. Couples wear one on their wrists, male left and female right, which is a token of love. Represents being together forever, being together for life.

3, transportation, transshipment, good luck.

Han people like red since ancient times, and red represents happiness, auspiciousness and good luck. Therefore, wearing a red hand rope also means giving a good start, bringing good luck, transshipment and making a fortune. Generally, the red rope will be matched with lucky symbolic pendants in national traditions such as transit beads, travel beads or brave jade ornaments, gold ingots, wallets, gourds and bells.
