What do Shanxi people pay attention to when they are engaged?

Generally, it is the man who entrusts the media to propose to the woman. Both families are similar and it is best to be suitable for each other. In the old days, with the consent of both parents, they exchanged birthdays with Geng Tie, and fortune tellers in the Qing Dynasty predicted good or bad luck by "combining eight characters". If the horoscope matches, you can get engaged. Formal engagement is "too red book", also called "too book". The man talks to the media about the bride price, and after the woman puts forward the amount of the bride price, the man prepares the bride price according to the agreed standard. The amount and quality of bride price depends on the family situation of both parties, and there is no exact regulation. The man's family chooses an auspicious day to "pass the red book". Give the woman's parents ten books first, then invite the matchmaker to Cambodia. On that day, lanterns were hung in the man's house, incense was burned and candles were lit, the deacon wrote down "keepsake", and the matchmaker sent it to the woman's house with a red post and a dowry of "Please make a promise". The lady immediately replied to the green post of "Mu Yu Yun Qing". After "writing a book", you can choose to get married, and the man will invite the woman to drink a "kiss wine" through the media. The two sides will decide the wedding date and prepare for the wedding separately.
