Why did ancient people get married at dusk?

The ancients thought that dusk was a time for communication between yin and yang, and so was the combination of men and women, so it was carried out at dusk. In ancient times, there were many etiquette in marriage. A letter of appointment refers to a book in which a man proposes to a woman. The gift book is the list of the bride price of the man, and the document is the document that the man gives to the woman when he comes to marry her. This is the so-called three books.
