What are the folk customs for engagement?1. No marriage between people with the same surname. No marriage between people with the same surname means that men and women with the same surname shall not marry each other. It began in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, people had a better understanding that same-surname marriage would cause deformities and infertility in offspring, but same-surname marriage still occurred from time to time among the nobility. After the Warring States Period, people used their clan names as their surnames. After the Han Dynasty, surnames and clan names were no longer distinguished, so there were many prohibitions on people with the same surname not marrying each other. In the Tang Dynasty, same-surname marriage was prohibited according to ancient customs. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became a society based on region, replacing the original clan system based on blood ties. Therefore, both the Ming Code and the Qing Code divide marriage into two categories: same surname and same clan. On the surface, they stipulate that both prohibit intermarriage, but in reality, people with the same surname but different clans can also get married. Only marriages between people of the same clan are prohibited. 2. Helang Song Helang Song is popular in Xing'an County in northeastern Guangxi. That is, after the wedding ceremony and dinner, relatives and friends surround the groom in the main hall and sing Helang Song. The congratulatory messages were improvised and also contained jokes and humor. Relatives and friends sing a song and the groom drinks a glass of wine. Sing until midnight and send the groom to the bridal chamber. The female singer waits behind closed doors, while the man and woman sing "Opening Door Song" duet, and they open the door only when they are fully satisfied. After entering the room, they sing and make noise, starting from "Congratulations to the groom, one cup of wine" to "ten cups". The groom drinks from 1 to 10 cups in sequence (those who cannot drink can have a male singer drink on their behalf). Then they sing "Friendship Wine" and the newlyweds drink from the same cup. Finally, the singer knocked on the door and sang "Knocking on the Door Song" to end the wedding. 3. Sitting in the Red Hall Sitting in the Red Hall is popular in Quanzhou County in northeastern Guangxi. On the eve of their wedding, young men and women will worship their ancestors at home and receive instructions from their elders. The bride wore red ornaments and was accompanied by her classmates. They sat in the main hall and sang the "Crying Wedding Song" in a soft and gentle voice, remembering the kindness of their parents and expressing their sisterly love. The sisters advised the bride to respect the elders and get along well with her brothers and sisters after marriage, and praised the groom for his handsomeness and hardworking. When the bride expressed her unhappy feelings, her sisters tried to comfort her in many ways. They sang until late at night, and Yi Yiyi said goodbye and gave gifts. The groom, accompanied by his classmates, sits in the main hall of his home, where he receives instruction from his elders on frugality in managing the household and how to behave in society. After the instruction, the old men left the room, and the young men started joking and chasing the groom, and the joy did not end until late at night.Do you want to know your own Bazi?
