However, according to the current laws of our country, engagement is not a necessary procedure before marriage, and a marriage without engagement does not lose its validity.What is the engagement ceremony like?Engagement is also known as "Wen Ding", formerly known as "Na Ji" and "Na Zheng". Although engagement is not as complicated as marriage, it is still very important in traditional customs. 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 goes to the bride's home with the matchmaker to marry her. Once you get off the car and enter the door, the red envelope can’t escape! The tribute official was commonly known as "Mr. Yaxiang" and was specifically responsible for delivering gifts and engaging in marriage. 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. Before leaving for the girl's home to propose marriage, 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 marriage and ask the ancestors to bless this marriage to be happy and perfect. After the family sacrifice, the tribute officer is responsible for loading all the betrothal gifts onto the car, and the groom and the matchmaker ride together to the bride's home. Before the red envelopes are sent out, the tribute officer not only has to take care of the number of people, the number of cars, and the betrothal gifts, but also has to remind the groom to prepare more red envelopes. For example, the uncle who comes to open the door of the groom's car, the "table-holding person", and the six accompanying relatives all need to prepare gifts for meeting the bride, gifts from the bride's new friend who brings water for washing her face, and gifts from the matchmaker. How to get engaged after a lifetime commitment “Eat rice and marry a good husband”, rice cakes should be one of the six rituals. The significance of preparing four-color candies is to symbolize the sweetness and longevity of the newlyweds. The betrothal gift not only represents the man's gratitude to the woman's parents for their hard work in raising the new bride, but also represents the man's face. Therefore, most people are willing to buy something splendid and decent, and each betrothal gift also contains symbolic meanings for bringing good luck and perfection. The betrothal gift is usually divided into six simple gifts or twelve elaborate gifts. The amount of the betrothal gift is arranged according to personal budget. At the same time, you may ask the matchmaker to consult the girl's parents and ask for the girl's opinion to make a win-win situation. The marriage of man and woman officially begins! Bang! The sound of firecrackers rang out, and the man’s bride and groom has arrived! On that day, ancestor worship and tea offerings are performed, and the ceremony is considered complete only after the couple wears the ring that signifies holding hands until old age. After a big gift, how should the woman return the favor? Chinese people have always emphasized "reciprocity". After a big gift from the man, the woman naturally has to prepare a return gift. She can't let the man go home empty-handed. Summary: After reading the introduction in the above article, we know that March 15th of the lunar calendar in 2017 is suitable for engagement.
