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."
