One legend is that ...

Legend has it that a family wants to marry their son, so please choose a good day for the teacher of Yin and Yang. But another gentleman told me

Look at this day, look at this day.

The owner of this house is a day of chaos by five ghosts, so don't use it. The owner of this house went to ask a more prestigious gentleman to make a decision. This gentleman said: this is indeed a day when five ghosts are at work, but at that time, there will be dragons and tigers at your door, and ghosts can't get in, keeping you safe. On the wedding day, it happened that the emperor passed by here incognito. It's almost noon, and he is hungry and thirsty. Suddenly, he heard drums and music. He saw the family decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the guests were full, so he said to the general who was secretly protecting him as a follower: Let's go and invite the wedding bar.

Arriving at the door, relatives were inconvenient, so they found a brick and sat on both sides of the door to rest. The five ghosts of the insurrection also wanted to join in the fun, make a wedding banquet and make a scene, but when they saw the emperor and General Dragon and Tiger close the door, they dispersed in a hubbub and ran away. Seeing that the two people sitting in front of the door were not like ordinary people, the host invited them to his home as distinguished guests, and the emperor made an imperial decree after returning to Beijing. After the news spread, people put two bricks wrapped in red paper next to the gate when they were holding a happy event, and named them Longhudun. It means to give a seat to the emperor and the generals.

It is said that ghosts saw the bricks of Chen Le, two historical figures in the Qin Dynasty, and thought that the emperor took the general to guard the Sina military blog and fled in panic, so as to make the happy event of this family festive, lively and smooth. Although this is a folk legend, on the other hand, we can see that people attach importance to watching the sky. Looking at the date, we must first determine the month of marriage according to the woman's zodiac. The woman marries according to the animal sign, which is often called the chaotic age.

After determining the month of marriage, both men and women will negotiate whether the date is the beginning of the month or the middle of the month (folk custom generally does not marry at the end of each month), and the specific date will be determined by the man. The first way to see the sky is the fortune teller's divination. The famous numerologist Yu reminds you that calculating numerology is a very serious matter. Don't believe the numerology criticism of some network software. For more comprehensive numerology knowledge, you can go to Baidu and Judah. Then choose the auspicious day of the zodiac or clearly indicate the day suitable for marriage in the old yellow calendar, and find out the choice according to the "Wedding Hall Map" handed down from generation to generation. The picture of Zhoutang Wedding is to arrange the words husband, aunt, Tang, Weng, brother, husband, algae and Chu in a circle. The specific method is as follows: if the wedding month is a big month (30 days), check from the direction of husband to aunt, if it is a small month (29 days), check from the direction of woman to kitchen. As long as there is no day with the word Wenggu, it is ok, but the word Zhantang is the best, followed by the first, kitchen and stove. People usually choose the first two words, and the last two words are rarely used. From this point of view, although dating is for others to see, the choice of men and women is still quite large. This time-honored custom of watching Japan is still widely popular in rural areas.

Looking at the date, we must first determine the month of marriage according to the woman's zodiac. The woman marries according to the animal sign, which is often called the chaotic age.

In the early folk customs, there are also animal taboos that are not suitable for marriage all year round: Shen, Zi, Chennian snake, chicken, cow, company, You, Ugly Year tiger, horse, dog, Yin, Wu, Wuxu pig, rabbit, sheep, sea, hair, immature dragon, mouse and monkey. But this taboo has attracted little attention now. Beginning of spring in the lunar calendar has two years of widowhood, and a year without beginning of spring is a year of bachelor. It is not ancient, but it has a great influence on folk marriage customs. Whenever there is spring or no spring in the coming year, there will always be a wedding peak before the Spring Festival. Later, years ago, it became popular for women to go to the man's house for dinner (in some places, they stayed at the man's house for one night, accompanied by their prospective mother-in-law or sister-in-law).

Days are divided into single days and double days. Most people think that yes-men are better than Lian Tian. Also, having eight days a day is a good day, mainly because people yearn for beautiful things. Like 65438+1October 10, some new couples registered to get married with their perfect wishes.

Although the days are still popular, with the decrease of people who know the old rules and the improvement of people's educational level, more and more people choose their own suitable days to get married. For example, May Day, National Day, New Year's Day, or the eighth and sixth day of the year in the AD and the lunar calendar, and some are set on the birthdays of either male or female, forming a new custom. Men are optimistic about their own lives, and usually send messages to their wives through matchmakers, and some will send them to their wives in writing seriously to show their respect. This is what people often call a wedding letter. But no matter how you look at it, how to pass it on, once the wedding date is determined, it cannot be changed. In the old customs, while looking at the days, it is also necessary to determine the taboos of weddings and seeing off relatives according to the zodiac signs and birthdays of both men and women, and no one is allowed to attend. It also stipulates the direction for the new wife to get up and get dressed, the direction for getting on and off the sedan chair (car), the time for getting married, getting home and worshiping heaven and earth. To avoid ancient marriage and pray for good luck. This kind of folklore cannot be simply attributed to feudal superstition.
