Engagement and marriage also require choosing a suitable time. Not every day is good for engagement and marriage. So, let’s take a look at what it means to not engage in the twelfth month and not marry in the first month of the lunar calendar? What does engagement mean? The Fortune Teller website’s special topic on the twelfth month of the lunar calendar has prepared a large amount of content related to the twelfth month of the Year of the Rooster. You are welcome to check it out.What does it mean to not get married in the twelfth month and not get married in the first month?What this sentence means is that you cannot get engaged during the entire month of December. However, marriage is not allowed during the entire month of the first lunar month.Reasons for not getting engaged in the twelfth lunar month: 1. No time Because the twelfth lunar month is the last month of the lunar calendar, people need to prepare for the Spring Festival during this month, so there is not much time to think about engagement. Hence, there is a saying that engagement should not be done in the twelfth lunar month. 2. Poor transliteration The word "La" is homophonic with "La", which means "pull" or "pull down". People in the past were very particular about avoiding taboos, and no one wanted to be involved in this bad luck. 3. Bad implication The twelfth lunar month is the coldest time of the year, when everything is grim and lifeless. It would be inappropriate to get engaged at this time. Reasons for not getting married in the first month of the lunar year 1. Bad luck In rural areas, there is a saying of "raising one's head and getting red", which means that if a man and a woman get married in the first month of the lunar year, they are competing with Tai Sui for the limelight, which is like "digging up trouble on Tai Sui's head". Being oppressed by Tai Sui of the month will be bad for their children's luck and fortune in the future. Therefore, seldom do couples get married in the first month of the lunar year in rural areas. 2. Bad implication There is also a saying in rural areas that the first month of the lunar calendar is the time for "ghost marriages". Because the first month of the underworld is the same as the world of the living, there are holidays and all the underworld things can come to the world of the living, so there is also a saying that getting married in the first month of the lunar calendar is a ghost marriage. What does engagement mean?Engagement, also known as marriage contract, is a traditional Chinese custom that usually precedes marriage through an engagement ceremony: signing a marriage certificate, exchanging gifts, or appointing a matchmaker. However, according to my country's current Marriage Law, engagement is not a necessary procedure before marriage, and a marriage without engagement does not lose its validity.In the Ningguta Chronicle written by Wu Zhuchen of the Qing Dynasty, it is written that "at the time of engagement, the father takes his son with the matchmaker to pay respects to the bride's parents. The next day, the daughter's father also pays respects in return with the matchmaker." In the Hunan Anti-Foot Binding Society Marriage Rules written by Tan Sitong of the Qing Dynasty, it is written that "at the time of engagement, the matchmaker's marriage certificate is used as proof, or gifts of various colors are prepared in a slightly imitation of the ancient ritual of offering sacrifices to geese." In the third chapter of Gao Yihan's Casual Talks on Hu Shi, it is written that "his marriage to Ms. Jiang Dongxiu was arranged by his mother since childhood in accordance with the custom of the feudal family. Hu Shi had never met him." Engagement was originally related to arranged marriage, but not absolutely so. |
