Why were matchmakers called "Iceman" and "Vakko" in ancient times

The ancients also called the matchmaker "Iceman". But why is it called "Iceman"? To understand this problem, we must first talk about the time when the ancient scholars married their wives. The ancient scholars generally chose to marry in mid-spring and February when the ice and snow did not melt. Because the ancients thought that this time was just the handover of Yin and Yang, and the yang was just beginning to sprout, and the yin was gradually fading, and everything was about to flourish, so getting married during this period not only conformed to the way of Yin and Yang, but also conformed to the law of the growth of all things in nature. After the ice melted, the busy farm work was about to start. Therefore, it is not appropriate to hold a wedding after this period. The Book of Songs says: "A scholar should return to his wife, but the ice is not pan." Therefore, we can understand that the best time for a scholar to get married in ancient times is when the ice is not pan, that is, when the ice is not melted. In the Jin Dynasty, Suo Heng combined ice with marriage when he interpreted dreams for people. There was an official in the Jin Dynasty who was filial. He asked Suo Heng to interpret dreams. Suo Heng said, "The ice belongs to Yang and the ice belongs to Yin, so the dialogue under the ice is about Yin and Yang. According to the Book of Songs, if a scholar wants to marry before the ice melts, dreaming of ice is about marriage, and you stand on the ice and talk to people under the ice, which means that Yin and Yang have a relationship, so it should be done."
