Why can't we be sworn brothers?
People who are related by marriage, such as brother-in-law and brother-in-law, can't become sworn. The generational difference is too great to be sworn. A person in his sixties and seventies obviously cannot be sworn with a teenage doll. Those who break the clan rules cannot become sworn, and those who have enmity with the previous generation clan or have bad records cannot become sworn.
In fact, it is easy to understand, but anyone who wants to become sworn must be a just man who appreciates each other and shares the same interests. If this person is not recognized by everyone, no one will become sworn. It can be said that becoming sworn brothers is not only a way to close the distance between people, but also a pursuit of bosom friends. Life is too short to have a bosom friend.
Oath procedure
The ancients attached great importance to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, all of which were based on affection and righteousness. Going out, good conduct can attract more people's recognition. When you meet people with good character and congenial personality, you can't wait to fight together like brothers. This is how sworn brothers extend. As we all know, sworn brothers are the acts of forming intimate relationships between brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, and the process is very complicated.
Take a piece of red paper and write down their names, birthdays, where they live, who is still alive at home and the names of three generations of their ancestors. Before the tablets of heaven and earth, they were sorted by age and burned incense to the Lord of heaven and earth in turn. Drink a bowl of blood wine, pay attention to blood wine, not sake, swear. The ancients kept their promises, and the oath was the most important link. Some TV dramas only play drinking vows, which actually simplifies the previous procedures and goes straight to the point.
