Chaoshan marriage custom eight characters

Traditional marriage has two links. After the two sides propose marriage, the matchmaker writes the woman's name, date of birth, place of origin and ancestors into three generations and sends them to the man. If nothing unexpected or unlucky happens in the man's house within three days, such as breaking bowls and pots, it is called "three days". With this good sign, the man agrees to exchange Geng posts. Please get married separately after changing the Geng post to make sure that both men and women are born together or contain each other. If we contain each other, the marriage will have to be ruined. Contemporary people advocate free love. Although young men and women have long got rid of the marriage custom of "parents' orders, matchmakers' words" and the old custom of exchanging Geng posts has been abandoned, many people still keep the link of "matching eight characters"
