1, accept talent-that is, discuss marriage, the man sent envoys to the woman's house to propose marriage, with geese as a gift. There are three symbolic meanings of giving a goose as a gift:

(1) Wild geese are migratory birds, flying south in autumn and returning north in spring. They sometimes come and go and never lose the season, so they are used to symbolize the constancy of both men and women.

(2) The geese follow the sun, and the geese move in order. During the migration flight, the geese line up in rows, with the strong geese leading, the young and the weak following and never crossing. Applying this principle to marriage, young and old will get married in order, not exceeding the order.

(3) The male and female geese are brought together to symbolize loyalty and grow old together (later developed, lamb, white goose, acacia, glue paint, etc. Also used as a gift).

The schedule is rather troublesome, so it is suggested that the landlord can simplify it appropriately. Goose can be carved into a delicate wooden goose instead.
