Marriage & Wedding
The auspicious day for holding the wedding ceremony and welcoming the bride into the groom's family.
Jiaqu refers to the day of the wedding ceremony and the bride's formal entry into the groom's household. In traditional wedding customs, this is the most critical day of the entire wedding process, so it is essential to carefully select an auspicious day (黄道吉日), avoid unfavorable celestial influences (凶煞), and consider the compatibility of the couple's Bazi (八字, Four Pillars of Destiny). It is believed that marrying on an auspicious day brings harmony and fulfillment to the marriage. Even with simplified modern wedding ceremonies, many people still consult the almanac (通书) to choose an auspicious day for Jiaqu.
