Origin Story
春秋时期，秦穆公的女儿弄玉爱上了善吹箫的箫史，两人琴瑟和鸣，感情深厚。秦穆公十分开明，不仅没有反对，还为他们建造了一座美丽的凤台，让他们自由自在地生活。一天，箫史吹奏起悠扬的乐曲，突然，云雾缭绕，一条神龙从天而降，箫史乘龙而去，弄玉也乘凤飞升，从此过上了神仙眷侣般的生活。从此，乘龙快婿便用来比喻优秀的女婿，成为人们对美好婚姻的向往与祝愿。
During the Spring and Autumn period, Nong Yu, the daughter of King Mu of Qin, fell in love with Xiao Shi, a talented flute player. Their relationship was harmonious and affectionate. King Mu was very open-minded and not only did not object, but also built a beautiful Phoenix Terrace for them, allowing them to live freely. One day, Xiao Shi played a melodious tune, and suddenly, clouds and mist swirled, and a divine dragon descended from the sky. Xiao Shi rode the dragon away, and Nong Yu also ascended on a phoenix, and from then on they lived a life like that of divine lovers. Since then, "Chenglongkuaixu" has been used to describe an excellent son-in-law, becoming a yearning and wish for a beautiful marriage.
