What is engagement?

Nacai is the first of the "Six Rites" and is an ancient Han marriage custom popular in many parts of the country. "Yili.com - Marriage Ceremony for a Gentleman" states: "At the wedding ceremony, the proposal for marriage is made by sending geese." Zheng Xuan's note: "If one wants to marry a woman, one must first send a matchmaker to convey his intentions. If the woman agrees, one can then send someone to propose marriage to her." If a man wants to marry a woman, his family will send a matchmaker to the woman's family to propose marriage and give gifts to propose marriage. After getting the acceptance, the matchmaker will be asked to formally present the "selection gift" to the girl's family. After the initial discussion, if the woman is interested, the man will send a matchmaker to formally propose to the woman's family and bring certain gifts. The only gift used in the ancient marriage ceremony was geese. Nacai is the beginning of the entire marriage process. The Nacai ceremony in later generations basically followed the Zhou system, but there were separate regulations for gifts.
