The term “Autumn leaves as a matchmaker” refers to the mysterious bond that connects a man and a woman through the use of autumn leaves as a matchmaker.
The word ryozoku, which means an excellent matchmaker, is a combination of Momiji and Momiji, which literally means Momiji becomes a matchmaker. During the Tang Dynasty in China, a young man named Yu Yu picks up a piece of autumn leaf with a poem written on it from a stream flowing through the imperial court. It is a four-character idiom that was born from the story that he also wrote a poem on a maple leaf and played it around, and that the woman he later married, Han Sui-feng, was in possession of the maple leaf.
