month old man is referred to as "The Mooner", and is the god of marriage in ancient times. The origin of this matchmaker is also interesting. According to the legend, There was a man named Wei Gu in the Tang Dynasty, who was an orphan. When I grew up, I passed by , Songcheng once and moved into the Nandian in the city. One night, Wei Gu went for a walk outside the store and saw a strange old man sitting in a cloth pocket, looking through a book under the moonlight, as if looking for something. Wei Gu asked him, "What book are you reading?" The old man replied with a smile, "Hi, the world's wedding book ." Wei Gu felt a little incredible and thought to himself, how could he hear about marriage books in the world? "Then Wei Gu asked the old man again: "What is the stuff in your bag? "The old man nodded and smiled and said, "The bag is full of red ropes to tie the feet of the couple. If these two people are connected by my red line, even if they are a family of enemies for a century, even if the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, even if they are at the end of the world, even if one is in Wu Kingdom , and the other is in Chu Kingdom , far away from mountains, rivers, and mountains and steep mountains, if this rope is tied, you will be determined for life. People can't escape! However, no matter how loving the two people are, if I did not tie their feet with the red thread, the two people would not be able to get together. "1 - This is the origin of the saying "A thousand miles of marriage is a thread" that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Wei Gu was very surprised and hurriedly asked about his marriage: "Where are you talking about my wife now? "The old man in the moon looked through the book and smiled and said to him: "My fiancée is the three-year-old daughter of the blind old woman selling vegetables at the north end of the store. "Wei Gu was furious when he heard this. He thought about how he had a lofty ambitions. How could he marry a woman from a kimono-selling family who sold vegetables? Although Wei Gu was angry, nothing happened on his face. He just returned to the inn where he lived. After
, Wei Gu immediately called the servant who was accompanying him and ordered him to stab the three-year-old girl to death in secret. He didn't want the servant to be a thief and felt guilty. Perhaps it was because of his conscience that he couldn't bear to kill this innocent girl. He couldn't stab the little girl to death in panic, but only stabbed her in the forehead. The servant came back and said this to Wei Gu, and the two of them carried their luggage. Escaped at night.
More than ten years later, Wei Gu joined the army, galloped on the battlefield, fought in the north and south, brave and good at fighting, and made great achievements in military achievements. Once, the governor Wang Tai rewarded the soldiers and met him affectionately. Seeing that he was brave and confident, he valued him very much, he betrothed his daughter to him. The girl was quite beautiful and a well-educated lady. Wei Gu was also very proud, and his wife always loved to stick to her eyebrows. Wei Gu asked her what was going on, and her wife explained the whole story: "I used to be the daughter of a grocery shopping family. I have been poor since childhood, but my family has always been happy and beautiful. But, I don’t know why, one day, suddenly, someone wanted to kill me. Fortunately, the murderer failed and just stabbed me in the forehead. My parents reported to the government. The governor, Lord Wang Tai, was responsible for investigating this matter, but he could not figure out the causes and consequences. The governor, Lord Wang Tai, felt sorry for my experience and accepted me as his adopted daughter and treated me like my own biological daughter. And I feel that such a striking scar is not good on my face, so I have always decalized it here. I'm just telling you now, I hope you will be forgiven. "Wei Gu then realized that this girl was the youngest girl he sent to assassinate in the past. Later, she was adopted by the governor Wang and regarded as her own. Seeing that God's will cannot be violated, Wei Gu was really a marriage that was a ray of marriage, so he devoted himself to falling in love with this vegetable vendor.
Later, after the county priest of the Song Dynasty learned about this, he named the inn "Marriage Shop". The old man who tied the red line was called the "Old Man Under the Moon". The children born to the two were very promising, with a lot of descendants, and extremely happy. Later generations also compiled a drama based on this legend and story and brought it to the stage. month old also had a wide influence among the people, becoming synonymous with "matchmaker" and has been used to this day.
