Engagement customs introduction:

1. What is the difference between engagement and marriage? Many people often confuse engagement and marriage. They don’t understand the difference between engagement and marriage and make some big jokes. In fact, the most fundamental difference between engagement and marriage lies in whether the marriage relationship is formally established and whether it is protected by law. Although there was no systematic marriage law in ancient times, the status of concubines who were taken in later and wives who were married through formal marriages were naturally quite different. Although there is only one letter difference between engagement and marriage, the status they represent is naturally not the same.
In ancient times, people paid attention to "parents' orders", so engagement was a big deal at that time. Generally, the engagement could not be easily cancelled without very special reasons. But if engagement were to happen nowadays, it would be relatively free. Many modern engagements are ceremonies held when two parties are in love with each other but are unable to hold a wedding for various reasons. This is relatively speaking giving each other a nominal status and also a moral declaration.
2. The meaning and etiquette of engagement. Engagement is also called "Wen Ding", formerly known as "Na Ji" and "Na Zheng". Although engagement is not as complicated as marriage, traditional customs still attach great importance to it. Both men and women need to prepare some gifts. The process is as follows: the groom first performs a family sacrifice at home, and then takes a car with the matchmaker to the woman's home to marry her. Once you get off the car and enter the door, the red envelope can’t escape!
(1) Tribute officer: commonly known as "Mr. Yaxiang", who is responsible for delivering gifts and conducting marriage proposals. The tribute officer must control the number of people (make it an even number), the number of vehicles (six or twelve), the betrothal money (an even number and properly wrapped in red paper), and the six gifts.
(2) Family worship: Before leaving for the girl's home to propose, the boy will first perform a ceremony to worship his ancestors at home. At this time, he will burn incense and offer sacrifices to his ancestors with the "box cake" or big cake used for the proposal. He will then go to the girl's home somewhere to propose, and ask the ancestors to bless this happy marriage.
(3) Departure: After the family sacrifice, the tribute officer is responsible for loading all the betrothal gifts into the car. The groom and the matchmaker ride together and go to the bride's home.
3. What is appropriate to wear for an engagement? I believe everyone knows that when a formal wedding is held, men wear suits and women wear wedding dresses. However, engagement is different. There are no such rigid requirements. It is enough to be decent and graceful.
If the bride is choosing the clothes to wear for the engagement, if the other party's family is more conservative, then she can choose red clothes. What color clothes are good for engagement? There are still many areas where people wear ancient cheongsams or Tang suits when they are engaged. Of course, this is not like ancient times. We can now customize a set of cheongsams or suits of our own, adding some modern concepts, which is also fashionable and in line with the concepts of some older generations!
If the groom is choosing clothes to wear for the engagement, no matter what color the clothes are, they are actually suitable for the groom. However, the more popular groom suits for engagement ceremonies are generally black or white suits, which can really show the handsomeness of men. But if the bride chooses a cheongsam, the groom is better off choosing a Tang suit for better matching.
