Marriage customs
In ancient times, after the man’s family obtained the woman’s birthday and horoscope through the hands of a matchmaker, he placed it in a divination symbol at home. Place, such as pressing it under the incense burner or placing it in front of the statue of the god, etc., and leave it for three days. If everyone in the family is safe during these three days, it means that the marriage has obtained the consent of the god and the divination has been successful.
If an accident occurs during these three days, even if a bowl is broken, the birth date must be returned to the woman, and the marriage will not be successful. In some places, after getting the woman's horoscope, a fortune teller is asked to compare it. If the man and woman's horoscopes match, the marriage proposal is successful. Modern people often use the second type, especially when parents are dating their children.
After passing the horoscope, the man will post. The names and birthdays of both men and women are written side by side on the post on red paper and sent to the girl's home. The bride's family accepted the post and expressed their agreement to the marriage. The purpose of taking horoscopes and posting posts is to "observe God's will." This wedding custom represents the concept of "marriage is destined."
