Three media and six hired Ming media to marry you, understand?

The "three media" in "three media" and "six jobs" refers to three matchmakers. Both men and women should send a matchmaker as a representative to communicate with each other, and there should be a matchmaker in the middle. Because men and women were different in ancient times, they could not meet and chat directly as they are now, so they should entrust the marriage discussion to others. Engagement refers to the six courtesies in the process from marriage negotiation to marriage completion, namely: receiving gifts, asking names, receiving gifts, inviting parties and welcoming relatives.

(1) Nacai.

This is the first of six engagements, which is equivalent to a modern proposal. If a boy wants to marry a girl, he needs to find a matchmaker to fix him up and bring gifts to the woman's home with his parents. Generally speaking, gifts vary from region to region.

(2) ask the name.

This refers to the date of birth of men and women. If the woman accepts Nakali, she agrees to settle the matter. At this time, the matchmaker will ask the girl's name and date of birth to find out whether their horoscopes match and how their marriage will be in the future.

(3) Najib.

After the man knows the woman's birthday, he will go to the temple to find someone to divine. If the result of divination is auspicious, then the man will prepare gifts and related matters related to the wedding.

(4) collection.

Najib and Zheng Na are generally conducted at the same time. Zheng Na means that the man will send the prepared dowry to the woman's house. Marriage is an important procedure in engagement marriage, similar to today's engagement. Generally, dowry consists of gifts and other items, depending on the man's economic conditions.

(5) Please invite the date.

Invitation date means that after the man's family chooses a good wedding date, he will inform the woman of the calculated wedding date and get her consent, which is the modern delivery date. If the woman has no objection, then the wedding date of the two will be formally decided.

(6) kissing.

This is the last procedure of six weddings. On the wedding day, the bride needs to marry her beloved bride in person to show her respect. In addition, people attach great importance to wedding ceremonies. Without this link, the woman will feel neglected.
