There is "Fake" in "The Book of Songs: Youfeng". Later, people called the matchmaker also "Fake". This is probably the earliest appellation for matchmakers in this industry.
Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty wrote "The Story of Yingying", which describes the love between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, and how Cui Yingying's maid, the matchmaker, matched them so that the lovers became married. Since then, "matchmaker" has become another name for matchmaker.
There have been many titles for matchmakers throughout the ages, such as: Baoshan, Iceman, matchmaker, Yuelao, introducer, etc. There are also various local dialects in various places.
In many places in northeastern Jiangxi, matchmaker is called "matchmaker".
The author believes that the most appropriate title should be "matchmaker".
In traditional Chinese weddings, the bride must be wearing red flowers, red clothes, and a red hijab; red double happiness characters and red paper-cuts of couples playing in the water are pasted all over the room. ;Firecrackers are red, and couplets are red; do you think matchmakers should also be called "matchmaker"!
Red represents auspiciousness and prosperity.
Among the titles of matchmaker, Li Xiang thinks that the introducer is the most inappropriate. Although in order to bid farewell to the feudal era, people gave matchmakers a new title, "introducer", and it has been used continuously from the 1950s to today.
In fact, in the mid-to-late 1980s, "introducer" as a synonym for matchmaker began to be used less and less frequently.
Why is this happening? The author believes that the most important thing is that "introducer" is not a proper term for matchmaker. The introducer for joining the party, is it an introducer? The introducer for joining the group, is it an introducer?
If you tell others that XX is your introducer, do others still have to ask, what kind of introducer is it?
It was said earlier that Hong Jianglan was the introducer, which was based on the specific era at that time.
In fact, Hong Jianglan is not an introducer in the standard sense, or a matchmaker. Ye Jianhua knew Huang Cailian, but she didn't introduce her; Ye Jianhua and Huang Cailian plowed the clouds and sowed the rain without informing her.
After the 1950s, "parents' orders" have gradually been submerged in the dust of history, and "matchmaker's words" are not good.
Families, countries, people, things, things, ebb and flow, rise and fall, are not transferred by human will.
The title of "matchmaker" was gradually replaced by "matchmaker". Among the traditional "three hundred and sixty lines", the profession of "matchmaker" is one of the oldest. In ancient times, there were even "official media", which is equivalent to the current national civil servants.
As a business, "matchmaker" not only has not died out, but has become more and more prosperous with the development of science and technology, the progress of the times, and the popularization of TV and computers.
?Shun Tian Ying Ren, Meng Fei and "If You Are the One" became famous at home and abroad for a while, and many TV stations followed suit, pushing the dating show to its peak. The TV station has become an unprecedented big "matchmaker".
The existence of matchmaker is not only a matter of customs and habits, but more importantly, it is the needs of society.
Two families who are about to become good friends of Qin and Jin, between them, if children are the bond, the words of the matchmaker are the bridge.
Hong Jianglan took the initiative to ask to be a matchmaker. Logically and according to customs, the man wanted to wrap a "Xi Niang red envelope" for her. How much money is not enough is another matter.
Li Xiang didn't know whether Hong Jianglan got the "Xi Niang Red Packet". He also forgot to ask.
What Li Xiang knew was that only an extraordinary person like Hong Jianglan could do such an extraordinary act. He saw with his own eyes that she took off a pair of gold earrings and handed them to Ye Jianhua's uncle. Then, the two of them went to see Huang Cailian's mother together.
"Where's Zhang Yougen?" Li Xiang found that Zhang Yougen followed them.
Li Xiang knew that Zhang Yougen would not miss such an opportunity. He will go, he should go, and he deserves to go. No matter for the man or the woman, he is a meritorious minister on both sides.
"Hua Yu, look at her as a woman, she is really affectionate and righteous, how are you going to repay her, how do you return her love." Li Xiang thought, this is not just a generous gift.
Ye Jianhua smiled slightly, and there was a little sweetness in the smile. He leaned close to Li Xiang's ear, "What are you paying for? Did I give her too little sperm?"
"You have gold? Where did you get the gold?" Li Xiang was surprised. He turned around and looked at Ye Jianhua, not believing it at all.
"Did you drink too much at noon?" Ye Jianhua couldn't believe it even more, why didn't Qiang Zai understand this.
"No wow, does it have something to do with whether I drink or not?" Li Xiang was confused.The only thing is to be in constant panic.
The young Ye Jianhua has a bit of backbone, but with his slender arms and legs, he doesn't have much strength.
Jeeps couldn't enter the alley, and it was at least a hundred meters from the entrance of the alley to Ye Jianhua's house.
More than one hundred meters is not far, but if you walk over with a person who is heavier than yourself, it will not be easy for anyone to put it on.
Ye Jianhua blushed and his neck thickened after walking less than halfway with his arms in his arms. Li Xiang walked side by side with Ye Jianhua. Seeing this scene, he was at a loss. He wanted to help, but he didn't dare to. He didn't know where to put his hands.
Fortunately, Ye Jianhua also has an uncle. If his mother is the only child, it will be troublesome.
Of course, whether the husband and wife can grow old together has nothing to do with the fact that the bride's feet are still on the ground.
Huang Cailian's feet didn't go to the ground halfway. She and Ye Jianhua divorced after more than 20 years of marriage.
When Li Xiang got married, his bride refused to be hugged by his uncle no matter what. She was afraid that his uncle would not be able to bear it, so she got into the car by herself, but their marriage went further, farther ¡ª¡ª (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
