In fact, the goose as a bride price has been there very early, ancient marriage pays attention to the "six rites", this "six rites" include Na Cai, ask the name, Na Ji, Na Zheng, please period and kiss. The first five are already recorded in the "Ritual Rites" written at the end of the Warring States period. The complete "six rites" were also established in the Han Dynasty at the latest. Later generations of Tang laws, Ming laws and other provisions on the "six rites" can be traced back to this point.
The Taiping Guangji is a collection of novels written by Emperor Taizong of Song in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, which contains more than 7,000 works from the pre-Qin to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, with nearly three million words, involving ninety-one categories, and is also similar to an encyclopedia. In the Tang Dynasty strange novel "Lu Sheng", when Lu Sheng married his wife, there was "Ruer, Lu Na Cai", and the "Na Cai" in it was the pair of geese in the bride price.
Geese are very loyal birds, absolute monogamous, and if another goose dies in the middle of the way, the other goose will be a fox goose for the rest of its life. "Natche" may also be the good wish of the ancients for marital fidelity.
