Haimen Guoqiang Fortune Telling _ Who is Haimen Guoqiang Fortune Teller?

What are the customs of marrying daughters in Haimen?

Marriage:

In the south of China, when a man and a woman get married, both parents are interested, and they will "match their horoscopes", "blind date" and "visit" before they get engaged. In the northern region, parents first ask the matchmaker or matchmaker to act as matchmaker for both sides. After both parents think that "a match made in heaven", the man chooses a good day, asks the matchmaker to bring his birthday wallet, and asks the other party for the date of the woman's birth, that is, a birthday post, which is called a Cao Tong post. The matchmaker pressed this straw pillar at the foot of the incense burner on the stove. If the bowl is broken within 3 days, it will be rejected and returned to the woman. If the man approves, please ask the fortune teller to "arrange eight characters" and get married; If the eight characters do not match, please ask the matchmaker to return the woman's post, and the monthly money will not be refunded.

Employment contract:

The employment process in the northern part of the Territory is quite complicated. First of all, it's a small decision. After the eight-character combination, the man chooses an auspicious day and asks the matchmaker to bring gifts to his next job, and it is officially settled. From then on, he can't go back on his word, otherwise he will be regarded as attached to the marriage and cause a lawsuit. If the man refuses to get married, the dowry will not be refunded; If the woman refuses to get married, she will return the dowry and compensate for the loss of alcohol. Small gifts are generally bracelets, rings, bracelets and other gold and silver jewelry or clothing, as well as necessary tea, cakes and so on. Then there is the farewell ceremony. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, the man prepares gifts such as fish, meat, cakes, wine, sugar and tea and gives them to the woman through the matchmaker. In addition to meat, the woman will give back half, and it needs to be in pairs, and there must be cakes, which symbolizes "high to high" and is called "return gift". Then there is the date of delivery. On auspicious days, the man writes the wedding date on the "Dragon and Phoenix Post" and sends it to the woman. By mail, he sent Longfeng wedding cake, tea and sugar, dates, fish, meat and a red paper bag requested by the woman. Then there is the dowry. Before marriage, the man brought a certain number of wedding gifts to the woman, such as fish, meat, cakes, sugar, zongzi, various red paper bags, cigarettes, tea and a "mother-returning banquet", and sent relatives and friends to receive the dowry. Dowry is allowed after the woman is satisfied. Finally, the wine is served to the matchmaker. The night before the wedding, the man will pay the matchmaker for the meal that exceeds the standard, and the next day's wedding will be planned smoothly.
