Soul matching, I'll wait for you on the other side

From the perspective of feng shui, chicken is homophonic with "Ji", which means auspiciousness. At the same time, roosters are usually given away when they get married. Because roosters are punctual and rest at sunrise, they naturally become irreplaceable mascots in marriage customs, and chickens in marriage customs cannot be eaten directly.

In ancient China, there was a custom of marrying a chicken and following a dog, so in ancient times, women would follow this statement and follow the relevant three obedience and four virtues. When they get married, they will live with their husbands, indicating that they will belong to the man's family in the future.

Second, what is the saying of getting married and holding a chicken?

1. Early birth of your son said

"Holding a chicken" means wishing the couple an early birth. In ancient times, chicken, as a symbol of fertility, was associated with the god of reproduction. Commonly known as male yang is chicken, and the comb is linked with male reproductive organs, which means that chicken is fertile.

2. Homophonic theory

It originated from the homonym of "chicken" and "bu (the fourth sound of Hebei)". Ties, ties, too. The cock's feet must also be tied with red lines. We're here to give the man a rooster before marriage. Chicken must also be given to the bride and groom on their wedding night (or the next day), and each of them must eat a foot. I mean, since then, a couple has been tied together.

3. Body-supplementing theory

A few days before the wedding, the man bought a big red rooster at home, which should be very beautiful. Buy a hen at the woman's house. The day before the wedding, they tied together with a red rope. After the wedding ceremony, the rooster is given to the woman's house, and the hen takes it back to raise it until the wife gives birth and kills it. It is said that it can nourish her body and produce more milk. Children will not starve to death. At the same time, the woman's family also killed the rooster and gave her son-in-law chicken wings and a chicken head, saying that she could take care of her wife and be responsible for housework.

Third, do you pay attention to getting married and holding chickens?

This is called "holding a chicken", but it's actually just a ceremony. Not really holding a chicken, but putting red rooster in a cage covered with red cloth in the man's wedding car.

This is an essential custom of "holding chicken" when getting married, also known as "chicken ceremony". Adding "Ji" to "Ji" means all the best, and I wish the couple a prosperous life after marriage.

As the saying goes, they must be a good couple.

This pair of "happy chickens", also called "longevity chickens", should be carefully fed after marriage and cannot be slaughtered. Buried under a tree until they die of old age symbolizes the love of newlyweds who share the same bed and die in the same cave.

Some people don't feed at home and sell them immediately after three days of marriage. It is said that this is because I am afraid that it will be unlucky to die at home. Then buy the chicken money into salt (fate) to get the meaning of fate.
