Is the Xiaoshan bride price more than 380,000?

380 thousand is relatively high, which depends on local customs.

First, there is no standard to measure the amount of bride price, family situation, feelings, income, etc. all need to be considered. Nowadays, owning a car and a house has become the standard of marriage. In addition, the heavy bride price also makes young people overwhelmed. A battle for bride price has arisen all over the country, and nouns such as "immobile", "colorful" and "three catties and three liang" are endless.

Second,

The tradition of giving bride price has a long history. Ancient weddings pay attention to six rites, which originated in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Six rites are the general name of ancient wedding etiquette. Ancient weddings generally include six steps, namely, accepting gifts, asking names, accepting gifts, inviting dates and welcoming relatives. Every step has strict requirements, and a wedding often lasts for months.

Na Cai is what we often say about proposing marriage. This is the first step of an ancient wedding. Parents come forward and ask the matchmaker for traction. Both men and women keep names and birthdays for each other. This step is to ask the name. Then the fortune teller divined to see if the two sides hit it off and whether they were lucky. This step is called Najib.

If there is no problem, you can proceed to the fourth step, which is the present bride price. Primitive tribes hunt for a living, and intermarriage between tribes will give the woman a deer. On the one hand, deer is a rare prey in hunting, which is more precious; On the other hand, deer has strong vitality and reproductive ability, which means that the newly married wife is blessed with many children. Later, this custom was preserved and became the first generation of bride price. After that, there is an invitation to ask the fortune teller to predict the auspicious day. On that day, the groom will pick up the bride, that is, meet her in person, go back to the groom's house to pick up the bride and enter the bridal chamber, thus completing the complete wedding process. Moreover, the bride price used in job fairs is also changing from generation to generation, reflecting different cultural and social customs.

The prey obtained by hunting in primitive society is the most precious, so besides the common deer, the bride price can also be replaced by other exotic animals. With the progress of society, ordinary farmers make a living by farming instead of hunting, and deer as a dowry is gradually eliminated.

The concept of dowry appeared in the Warring States period. At this time, cloth is usually used as a dowry and mixed with coins. In the Han Dynasty, gold was directly used as a dowry.

After the Han dynasty, Confucianism, which was contended by a hundred schools of thought, was deposed and more attention was paid to etiquette. Correspondingly, the types of bride price have also increased, including goose, cloth, lamb, sake and white wine, among which money is the most important part. Without money, you can't marry a daughter-in-law.
