"Zhou Gongli"

Modern men and women are free of marriage and love, some lovers are difficult to give up, and they can't wander together, and they live together before marriage. In ancient times, men and women had to be officially married, so they could fly and live together to do "the gift of Zhou Gong".

Why is it "Zhou Gongli"? This has to start with Zhou Gong's ritual in Luoyang.

Zhou Gong is the son of King Zhou Wen and the younger brother of King Zhou Wu, his real name Ji Dan. Not only did he have the talents of Anbang Dingguo, but he was loyal and loyal and selfless, and even Confucius and Cao Cao regarded him as an idol. Confucius was admired by Zhou Gong and often dreamed of Zhou Gong. Cao Cao hoped that he could recruit wise men like Zhou Gong and conquered the world.

Shi Zai, Zhou Gong assisted King Zhou Wu to destroy business and established the Zhou Dynasty. After the death of King Zhou Wu, he also assisted Zhou Chengwang to govern the country, built Luoyi, making ceremonies to make fun, and standardized the public order and customs, laying a solid foundation for the steadyness of the Zhou Dynasty.

According to legend, the phenomenon of men and women in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty was relatively serious. Zhou Gong felt that such a loss of body system had formulated a wedding system and established rules: men and women must not have sexual relationships before marriage. It can be feasible for couples. Later generations then called the husband and wife "the gift of Zhou Gong".

When is the "gift of Zhou Gong"? After adulthood.

In ancient times, men and women in the Han nationality were adults to hold adult gifts: men, women and crickets. The crown is a cap, and the cricket is a sister -in -law. The man was 20 years old and put on a cucklet; the woman was 15 years old and inserted into a mule.

Marriage events are related to hair, so newlywed men and women often cut a strand of hair together and knots together, indicating that the husband and wife are concentric. "Ending husband and wife" has also become synonymous with the original couple.

Everyone may have read such a story in Chinese classical novels: scholars and ladies secretly fall in love regardless of Feng Jianli. After spending on the month before spending, the lady often sends a strand of hair to the scholar as a token. Husband and wife, love together. As for whether it can form a husband and wife, it depends on the creation. (Luo Bao Rong Media Reporter Zhang Lina)
