Pray for marriage. According to China Literature Network, women wear red ropes alone to pray for the arrival of marriage. In the past, in order to pray for a beautiful marriage, older married women would go to Yuelao Temple to beg and carry them with them. In addition, tying a red line on their hands can also show that they are waiting to get married and seek a partner. Therefore, wearing a red rope on ancient women means praying for marriage.
