The origin of the word double happiness
According to legend, Wang Anshi went to Beijing in the Song Dynasty to take the exam, and now he stayed in Maqiao Village, Chenhuadian Town. Just as a big horse in the village was recruiting a husband, he posted a couplet: "Run the lantern, stop the lantern" and signed the next couplet. After reading it, Wang Anshi didn't stop because time was tight. Because of his talent, he passed all the way, cut off six generals and entered the palace for the exam. When the emperor did the topic, he looked up and saw a gust of wind blowing outside the temple, and a flying tiger flag was rolled up at the corner of the temple, so he made a couplet: "Flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, flag winding tiger hiding" and asked for a couplet. Wang Anshi remembered Maqiao's husband, so he made a couplet. After the court examination, Wang Anshi rushed to Houmaqiao and was recruited as a son-in-law by the Ma family. When the wedding was in full swing, spies came to report that Wang Anshi was in a happy mood and wrote a pair of happy words and posted them on the wedding. The custom of posting "double happiness" when getting married has been passed down to this day.
