(2) In the old days, the man’s family would select an auspicious date and bring gifts and cash gifts to the woman’s family 15 to 20 days before the wedding. Generally, this ceremony is very grand, because the amount of the gift the man gives to the woman not only reflects how much he values the woman, but also reflects the financial status of his family.Each item in the betrothal gift should have an auspicious name. For example, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were nine fixed betrothal gifts, including cassia bark, Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, cattail leaf, red reed, double stones, cotton wool, longevity thread, dry lacquer, etc. Each item has the meaning of blessing the couple's love to last forever. (2) Avoid giving an odd number as the betrothal gift. The number should be even rather than odd, because even numbers are a symbol of good luck and there is a saying among the people that “good things come in pairs”. The odd number is an unlucky symbol and is therefore taboo. (3) Avoid including shoes in the betrothal gift. In some places, it is taboo to include shoes in the betrothal gift because people are afraid that the woman will wear the shoes and run away. (4) Avoid putting meat filling in the betrothal gift box. In some places, it is forbidden to put meat filling in the betrothal gift box. It is said that if meat filling is put in the betrothal gift box, the new bride will be slow in temper and will be slow in doing things. (5) The woman should not return the empty gift box to the man. After the betrothal gifts are delivered to the woman’s family, the woman’s family should not return the empty gift box to the man. Generally, part of the food will be returned to the man's home, or the clothes prepared by the woman for the man will be placed in a gift box for the man to take back. According to the custom in the Central Plains, the man must bring a rooster when sending a betrothal gift, which means good luck. When the woman receives the betrothal gift, she does not keep the rooster and takes back a hen. The hen must be alive, and white is not recommended, as it is unlucky to have a white hen with other hens. Summary: Through the above article, we know that May 13th of the lunar calendar in 2017 is not a suitable day for engagement and there are some taboos that need to be paid attention to for engagement. I hope this can provide some reference for friends who are interested! |
