[quote=RITA,274754]I am surprised you didn't mention WILD GOOSE. I recently read a book of Ku Hung-Ming, here is a paragraph he described traditional Chinese marriage, and I quote: "... ... I must tell you something about marriage in China. There are in every legal marriage in China six ceremonies (六礼): first, (问名) asking for the name, i.e., formal proposal; second (纳彩) receiving the silk presents, i.e., betrothal; third (定期) fixing the day of marriage; fourth (亲迎) fetching the bride;fifth (奠雁) pouring libation before the wild goose, i.e., plighting troth, so called becaue the wild goose is supposed to be the most faithful in connubial love; six (庙见) -- temple presentation. Of these ceremonies, the last two are the most important, I shall therefore here describe them more in detail " Unquote[/quote]
