However, "Zhou Li, Underground Palace, Matchmaker" Shuyun: "Make the matchmaker ask for a woman, and combine the two surnames". The correct solution of this "harmony".

Therefore, in the folklore of the Han nationality, the god of family harmony gradually evolved into the god of marriage and harmony. The god of harmony was also renamed the two saints of harmony or the two immortals of harmony.
