What does Linyi lanshan district need to prepare for engagement?

Under the influence of these traditional customs, Linyi was deeply influenced by Qi culture, Lu culture, especially Confucius and Mencius culture, and formed a marriage etiquette with local characteristics. In China, the custom of marriage is not very different between counties and districts.

Generally speaking, it consists of more than a dozen important links, such as proposing marriage, wedding year, dating, setting a real angle, sending a date, helping with meals (filling boxes), sending reminders, wedding, visiting the happy grave, returning to the door and so on. Fulfilling these procedures marks that a new family will live independently from now on.

When it came time for men and women to talk about marriage, as marriage matchmakers, they proposed. There are two situations here. One is that the matchmaker proposes to the man or woman's house on his own initiative. The other is that the man or woman asks the matchmaker to propose marriage. Proposing marriage is simply to introduce the family, appearance, figure and other aspects to both men and women, so that the other party can have a general understanding. If both sides are interested, they will continue, but they have no intention of stopping there.

In the old society, the marriage between men and women inherited the traditional habit of "parents' orders and matchmakers' words". The matchmaker comes forward, the parents make the final decision and arrange the marriage. Many of them met when they waited for the door to enter the bridal chamber. After the founding of New China, this traditional habit was gradually broken and the freedom of marriage was realized. Free love has become the mainstream.

In the old society, marriage proposal generally pays attention to the collocation of men and women. There used to be a saying in the local area that "good is good, and lai is lai, and a machete cuts vegetables on the ladle". Generally, the matchmaker first proposes marriage to one party, introduces the general situation of the other party, and then asks the other party for advice if it is approved. Where to go first, there are agreed rules in the countryside. Whoever has better comprehensive conditions will go first, and the good side agrees, indicating that the poor side will not have any big problems.
