What do you mean, marriage depends on the date?

Seeing the date, also called "choosing the date", is an ancient folk custom in China. When you get married, you should choose a good day that suits everything according to the Gregorian calendar. This is the heritage of China traditional culture, with some superstitious colors.

Looking at the sun can also be called "picking up the sun" and "choosing the day", and it was also called "Ji Juan" and "Canon" in ancient times. In China's traditional culture, people think that astronomical phenomena will affect people's fortune, so they make a traditional calendar according to the changes of astronomical phenomena, and divide the time into ecliptic day and ghost day according to the distribution of stars. This is a good day for everything, and ghost day is a bad day for doing things.

Out of a psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, the technique of choosing good fortune appeared very early in ancient China, which is also commonly known as "looking at the sky". Look at the date according to the Gregorian calendar, or directly ask the Feng Shui master to help set the date.

Marriage is an important event in life, so it is necessary to choose a good day for a folk wedding. In ancient Confucian etiquette, this step was "inviting a date". First of all, we should choose the auspicious day of the zodiac or the day with the words "suitable for marriage" clearly written on it. Then, according to the birth dates of both parties to the marriage, we should delete the days that conflict with the zodiac signs of two people and the festivals in local folk customs, so that the remaining days can be regarded as good days for two people.

Although it is a superstition to look at the date, this custom has far-reaching influence in the traditional culture of China. Even in modern society, people will habitually choose a good day to get married. Whether superstitious or not, this is always the expectation of a better life.
