What does it mean to be a male freshman and a female freshman?
There is a folk saying that "male freshmen are not as good as female freshmen".
Similar to today's society, men don't worry about marrying when they are older, and women are hard to marry when they are older.
Weddings are complex and luxurious, and there are many taboos and manners from discussing marriage to getting married. After a man has a crush on a woman, the central matchmaker goes to the woman's correspondence. With the acquiescence of the woman, parents, brothers and sisters go to the man's house to see their parents. This is called "blind date". After the two sides agreed, the man's family sent a matchmaker to invite the woman to post the wedding ceremony (the date of birth was coded by the government, commonly known as "eight-character paste", also known as "dragon and phoenix paste"). According to the fortune teller's calculation, there is no hurry. The two sides, that is, the central matchmaker, choose a day to hold an "engagement ceremony" for the woman, which is also commonly known as the wedding ceremony. On the day of engagement, the matchmaker brought a "wedding box" (containing bride price money, dragon and phoenix stickers and gold and silver jewelry) and gave it to the woman for safekeeping. The woman replied and returned some dowry, shoes, socks and hats, and the marriage was settled. Then the woman bought a dowry and waited to get married. When the man chooses an auspicious day to get married, the matchmaker sends a small amount of money and things, which is called "sending the day". On the day before the wedding, the man gives the woman chicken, fish, meat, steamed bread, red candles, firecrackers, candy and the expenses of the woman's banquet, commonly known as "sedan chair rice". The woman will put all the dowry on a car, and the man will send someone to the man's house, commonly known as "moving the dowry." The amount of dowry depends on the family situation of both parties and the amount of money paid. Usually it's from the woman's house. A rich man's daughter is married in extraordinary style, which is called "ten-mile dowry".
