What do you mean by "Yue Lao"?

Yue Lao refers to Chai Huang Dao, also known as the old man and the old son under the moon. Born in Song Cheng, Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan). He is the red XiShen who is in charge of marriage in Han folklore, that is, the media god. In ancient mythology, he was an immortal in the sky.

The image of Yue Lao first appeared in The Engagement Shop by Li Fuyan, a novelist in the Tang Dynasty. According to records, in the second year (AD 807), Tang Chaoyuan happened to meet an old man under the moon. After knowing this, the magistrate of Songcheng County named the hotel where Wei Guyuan came to stay as "betrothal shop", from which Yue Lao came. From generation to generation, everyone knows. The old man under the moon later became another name for the matchmaker.

Under the moon, the old man tied men and women with red ropes to determine marriage, which reflected people's cognitive attitude towards love and marriage in the Tang Dynasty. For the previous marriage, we must talk about the concept of suitable marriage, and Yue Lao's marriage concept has obviously made great progress.

The concept of marriage and love represented by Yue Lao;

Under the moon, the old man tied the red rope to decide the marriage between men and women, which embodies the fatalism concept of marriage in Tang Dynasty and is one of the manifestations of the concept of destiny in Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty believed that a person's fate could not be decided and changed by himself, and the appearance of the image of Yue Lao was the artistry and visualization of this view of fate in the field of marriage and love.

But more poetically, the old man tied a rope under the moon to define the image of marriage, so it spread more widely and became a reality, and the old man under the moon became a household name among the people.
