We are a country of etiquette, and marriage is a major event in life, so etiquette is a very important thing for a person, a family, and a region.
The ancient wedding ceremony was completed from the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the etiquette was divided into six steps, first, Nacai, that is, the man asked the man to ask the woman's family for marriage;Second, ask for the name, and the woman tells the matchmaker the name and birthdate;Third, Najib, the man uses the birth dates of the two to divination, and if they get along, they will exchange marriage letters;Fourth, the levy is the man's dowry to the woman;Fifth, the date of marriage, that is, the date of marriage;Sixth, the bridegroom goes to the bride's house to pick up the bride.
What was the bride price at that time?Do you need a lot of coins in addition to physical things?
I remember when I was very young, my relatives got married, and the dowry given by the man was two cabinets, a writing desk, a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a bride price of 800 yuan. Because the relative's family is a big family, it has this strength. At that time, the jeep pick-up was already the envy of the villagers, after all, many families did not even have bicycles.
Nowadays, it is common to see those wealthy people getting married on the Internet, not talking about cars, houses, and using baskets for coins alone. It's really poverty that limits my imagination, is it true that people are so rich?
Then, there are many people to follow the trend, how many tens of thousands must be married to get married, this is a necessary condition, otherwise there is no need to talk about it, the poorer the place, the higher the bride price, I feel that marriage is not a kind of etiquette, but a kind of exchange of interests.
People who really live their lives, although they don't have a lot of ability, but for the sake of face and to keep up with the pace of the times, they borrow from all over the world, get things done, and find ways to repay their debts.
There are also some people who regard marriage as a business and go to pit those honest people who can't find a daughter-in-law. Although the deception of these people is obvious, in a world where there are more men than women, men tend to believe that the other party is sincere.
Bride price is a form of etiquette, but also a kind of guarantee for the other party, can be said to be a deposit, if anyone repents, then have to bear the corresponding responsibility, bride price is also a form of strength to show strength, the higher the bride price, the more it can explain the importance of marriage, love for children.
However, as an ordinary ordinary person, there is no need to follow the luxury beyond his ability. When the prosperity is gone, it will eventually be lonely. Do what you can and go further.
