The source of characters

The earliest record of Tai Sui comes from Li Fuyan's Continued Secret Record Engagement Shop in Tang Dynasty. Description: During their two-year trip to Song Cheng, Wei Gu and Yuan He met an old man sitting on the steps with a cloth bag to collect books from the moon. When asked what book he was looking for, Gu replied, "The world is a wedding." He asked what was in the bag and replied, "red rope ears." In order to tie the feet of husband and wife, they will use each other for their lives. Although the enemy's home is separated, and heaven remains our neighbourhood, while Wu Chu is a foreign land. This rope is tied together and cannot be broken. " Later, it was often used as a synonym for matchmaker.

The old man who leaned against the cloth bag, sat on the steps and looked up books from the moon was later regarded as the god of marriage among the people. As long as he tied the feet of men and women together with the red rope in his bag, even if he went through the torture of "the enemy's revenge, the difference between high and low, the end of the world being an official and a foreign land in Wu Chu", he would resolve everything and eventually get married.
