The official interpretation of "bride price" refers to the money and goods paid by one of the parties to a marriage relationship (mainly the man) and their relatives to the other party (mainly the woman) and their relatives in accordance with customs.
In our country, the act of paying a bride price, although it is not advocated in the law, is not prohibited, it is a tacit understanding between people, and if you want to marry my daughter, most of them will ask for a bride price.
Some areas are even famous for their high bride price, which can also be a serious burden on the local people.
Recently, in a program, when talking about China's "bride price" in a conversation with the famous Japanese writer and sociologist Chizuruko Ueno, Chizuruko Ueno spoke sharply and talked about the problems behind the bride price, which made netizens feel extremely controversial.

Chizuruko Ueno bluntly said that in China, the payment of bride price is more like a kind of materialism, and money has become a symbol of love, which means that there is no so-called love without money as a guarantee, which really makes people feel a little too direct.
In the mainland, the bride price is widespread, and some social problems caused by the bride price also occur from time to time, especially in the provinces where the bride price is extremely high, such as Jiangxi, Henan and other regions, because the bride price is too high, and even some local banks have launched "bride price loans", which is really shocking.
Housing loans, car loans, and bride price loans, like three mountains, are overwhelming, this is really a bad way, I don't know what the bank that launched this thinks?
In this regard, because the bride price has always been a high topic, the majority of netizens are also crazy.
Netizens believe that it can be solved in the future: those who don't give a bride price find those who don't want a bride price, and those who can't find a bride price don't get married. Isn't it true that if you can't afford a bride price, you don't deserve to get married? Maybe that's what this show is talking about.
Of course, there are also many people who support the abolition of the bride price, which requires the state to make a fuss from the legal level, because it is useless to advocate low bride price and other means, otherwise there would be no topic like "Jiangxi 380,008 bride price".
The bride price has long become a social problem, its existence has the meaning of existence, and the proper payment of the bride price is a kind of attention, a sense of ritual, and by this lion opened its mouth and slaughtered it, it made this "good thing" become a "bad thing" that created contradictions.
