1, engaged

It is a marriage contract concluded orally or in writing by men and women according to their physical condition, working ability or professional conditions, and it is a marriage custom in many parts of China. Engagement usually means that the man goes to the woman's house and brings engagement gifts, cash gifts and so on.

2, too red

(1) Exchange birth dates

It is the birthday of the matchmaker to exchange the birthdays of both parties to see if the "birthdays" of both parties are consistent. If not, marriage will be reconsidered. But now people don't believe this, so even if they exchange red posts, it is often just a form, and some people even omit the form of exchanging posts.

(2) Prepare for engagement

After "changing posts" and "matching eight characters", the matchmaker should choose a good date and get engaged with the man as a gift. Of course, the parents of the man or woman should be considerate of each other, not too extravagant and waste less dowry.
