The matchmaker plays a matchmaking role in China's marriage. A matchmaker is also called a matchmaker or sister Daikin. Marriage in ancient China was about the words of matchmakers. Therefore, if you get married without a matchmaker, it is inconsistent with the ceremony. Although it's two of a kind, she will go to the door to fix the matchmaker's words, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and then she will get a wedding present.
The matchmaker will act as a middleman from the moment of proposing marriage to the moment of engagement and urging marriage, running errands between men and women, contacting, coordinating and mediating details, creating an atmosphere, saying auspicious words and wishing the couple happiness until the wedding is over. The matchmaker is voluntary and may not ask for compensation. Customs and habits will vary from place to place.
Matchmaker introduction is a common way to choose a spouse when human society enters monogamous marriage. It is not only a common way to choose a spouse in the history of all ethnic groups, but also widely popular in the marriage customs of many ethnic groups in the world today.
Media, according to the present explanation, means media, while in ancient China, media means strategy. The so-called "matchmaker" and "matchmaker" refer to people or things that conspire to make families with two surnames become children's in-laws, and the matchmaker has gradually become synonymous with people who introduce the marriage relationship between men and women. Matchmakers appeared in China very early, as early as the Zhou Dynasty more than two thousand years ago.
The so-called old sayings such as "men and women don't ask each other's names if they have media", "women don't marry if they don't have media" and "there is no cloud in the sky and no media on the ground" have been handed down from that era. However, the phenomenon of choosing a marriage partner through matchmaker introduction is not limited to China, but is a very good way to choose a spouse in many ethnic groups in the world.
