Get your son's traditional designs early.

Marriage is the combination of two surnames to form a happy marriage. Marriage certificate is not only a legal document to establish the marital relationship between husband and wife, but also a reflection of the evolution of social etiquette and legal order in the development of the times. According to the records of Dunhuang treasures, the marriage certificate requested by the man is called "marriage certificate" and the one promised by the woman is called "marriage certificate". Once the marriage certificate is concluded, both men and women have been recognized by the society and have a legal marriage relationship.

Marriage certificate, as the media evidence of the establishment of marriage relationship between men and women, plays an indispensable role. There is a long-standing legend about media evidence: in primitive society, every year in mid-spring, that is, when Yin and Yang communicate, people would worship Gao Lan, the mother of the earth and the god of fertility, in the suburbs. After this custom, it gradually evolved into a spring outing, and Gao Kun is the media evidence of people's spiritual level here.

"People with lofty ideals" is a kind of prayer to the God of marriage, and marriage certificate plays a role as a voucher in reality. Marriage certificate is a mixed marriage document formulated and issued by the government, which has the names of "formal marriage certificate", "engagement", "fixed post" and "Lianbo". The use of the name "marriage certificate" is influenced by western marriage customs. Since13rd century, wedding ceremony books have been very popular in Christian church ceremonies in Britain. With the continuous eastward advance of western missionaries, the number of religious believers in China is increasing, which is influenced by missionaries encouraging China believers to obey God's will and hold western-style weddings in churches. A new type of marriage with the legitimacy and contractual nature of modern marriage has been continuously accepted, and the "marriage certificate" came into being.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, the words "marriage certificate" or "marriage certificate" were often used in marriage documents. 1950, the state promulgated the marriage law, stipulating that "the local people's government shall issue a marriage certificate immediately for any marriage that meets the requirements of this law". Since 1955, the word "marriage certificate" has been used uniformly in marriage legal documents issued by the state.

Images are the embodiment of the spirit of the times. The auspicious patterns in marriage books are decorative art styles endowed with good wishes such as blessing and seeking children in marriage.

Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the marriage documents were quite like documents, mostly with two pages folded in half, without much design. Before the marriage certificate appeared, there was a "formal marriage certificate". Marriage certificates in the Republic of China were mainly divided into traditional and western-style marriage certificates designed under the influence of western culture.

The "United Wave" of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

The so-called "joint swing" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the marriage certificate of men and women. "Lotus" is in duplicate, and the word "Lotus" is written in the middle of the seam of the two copies. The government director keeps one copy, and the married person keeps one copy for future reference. Because of the red dragon and phoenix pattern, it is also called "Dragon and Phoenix Batch" or "Dragon and Phoenix Combined Wave". There are only two pieces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom "He Hui", which are kept in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum.

Marriage documents in the Republic of China

During the Republic of China, in addition to auspicious patterns, patterns such as Dragon Pavilion, Five-color Flag, Sun Yat-sen's head and Kuomintang party flag began to appear, which had obvious symbols of the times.

Marriage papers in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the designs of marriage certificates followed those of the Republic of China, but at the same time, there were signs of new China such as five-star red flag, five-pointed star, Chairman Mao's head, Tiananmen Square, gear ear, national emblem and party emblem.

China Red, the basic color of the wedding book, is the mainstream color of the wedding book. In terms of subject matter, it mainly involves figures, animals, flowers, ships, fruit trees, text symbols and so on. It can be said that auspicious patterns on wedding books are everywhere, and the choice of auspicious patterns in each period also reflects the rolling development of the times.

Symmetric form

Symmetry is a common pattern layout style in marriage certificates. There are up-and-down symmetry, left-right symmetry, oblique symmetry, multiple symmetry and oblique symmetry. The border patterns are often even combinations, such as "Pisces", "Two Birds" and "Double Happiness", and other patterns are even, indicating that husband and wife love each other, stay together or men and women love each other.

Tuanhuashi

The main feature of the group flower is that the composition pays attention to Fiona Fang, and the pattern is round and full, with strong decoration. Such as "butterflies hitting peonies" and "bees picking flowers"; Butterfly, double happiness and other patterns are homophonic, meaning "perfection" and endless, expressing people's longing for your son to have a baby early and have many children and grandchildren.

Cluster pattern

It is composed of flower patterns in different seasons, which is called flower cluster diagram or four-season flower picking diagram. The flowers of the four seasons endow the pattern with the meaning of different seasons, the hope of spring, the vitality of summer, the harvest of autumn and the introversion of winter. The flowers of the four seasons are placed in the picture, expressing the yearning for a better life.

With the development of the times, eastern and western cultures blend with each other. The auspicious patterns in both the wedding book and the wedding ceremony have been gradually weakened. With the promotion of cultural self-confidence and the deepening of the understanding of China traditional culture, the auspicious patterns on the wedding book will be known by more people, and the Red Leaf Alliance will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A marriage certificate is also a witness to the marriage of two surnames and the eternal marriage. I would like to write a letter to Hong with the promise of Whitehead, so that the alliance of Hongye can be well documented.
