Foreword of engagement:
1. The custom in Chaoshan is to exchange engagement tokens on auspicious days. Chaoshan used to exchange handkerchiefs, but now they are all rings.
2, find a gentleman to cooperate with the eight characters, and count it as an auspicious day when both men and women do not collide.
3, the happy event should be early, so Chaoshan will ask relatives to help prepare the dowry sent by the man early in the morning (parents can't do it themselves).
4. Join in the fun: The man comes to the woman's house with elders at home early in the morning, and the woman will give red envelopes to the elders.
Buy gold:
On the day of engagement, the man will take the woman to the gold shop to buy gold. The lady also needs to buy a gold ring for her new uncle. The reason why there are so many relatives in Chaoshan when they are engaged is because they know the new wife early, which shows that the man pays special attention to the woman, that is, the media in Chaoshan is urging marriage.
