Ghost marriage, commonly known as "ghost marriage", is a form of marriage in which both men and women or one of them dies. In fact, it is simply to find a spouse for a dead man or woman. These ghost marriages are aimed at men and women who died when they were young without getting married. In ancient times, people thought that without marriage, his "ghost" would feel empty. They will come out of the "underworld" and come to the world to make people restless. So for the sake of world peace, there is a ghost marriage. Both men and women who cheat on marriage are dead, and their parents will hold a wedding and then hold a funeral to bury their coffins together. Some of the two sides were not engaged before their lives. After their death, their parents came forward to find a matchmaker to get married, chose an auspicious day to move the coffin and bury it together, and held a certain ceremony after their engagement to give birth to the man's death. The woman went to the men's grave to marry the "wooden master" and was widowed for the man.
Speaking of ghost marriage, it has a long history. It has appeared for thousands of years in the Han Dynasty, and even more famous people have used ghost marriage. Cao Cao has a son named Cao Chong. When I was a child, we only learned a text called "Cao Chong calls an elephant", and that is all our memories of Cao Chong.
The most popular ghost marriage was in the Song Dynasty. According to historical documents, as long as someone dies without marriage, there must be a ghost marriage, but the Yuan Dynasty only followed the Song Dynasty, but it was not so popular in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, some girls began to reject ghost marriage in order to protect themselves from being widowed by ghost marriage.
