The so-called marriage certificate, now called marriage certificate, is an instrument concluded when people get married.
China people's marriage certificates are said to have originated from the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty. There must be "three books" in marriage, namely, letters of appointment from relatives and gift books, and the book of welcoming relatives is the dimension of marriage books.
There were official books and other papers in the Tang Dynasty, which were divided into grass posts and fixed posts in the Song Dynasty. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it was called a book phoenix pen. What changes is the name, but what remains unchanged is the solemn commitment to the wedding smoke.
In addition to the witness, the text of the marriage certificate of the Republic of China also contains the names, place of origin, date of birth, place and time of the wedding, the names of the introducer, witness and master of ceremonies, and the certificate is stamped.
Judging from the information found so far, the marriage documents in the Republic of China are the most exquisite, and their exquisite paintings, exquisite calligraphy and romantic vows are amazing.
Now marriage has been decided by the parties themselves, and the marriage certificate has become a small marriage certificate.
There is a passage on the cover: In the spirit of China People's Marriage Law, we will marry voluntarily, treat each other as equals, love each other, respect each other, help each other, support each other, unite in harmony, raise children, and work together for family happiness and new social construction.
