"520" is coming soon, and it's time for the annual "seasonal sex" talk about marriage. Today we talk about the price of the bride price, recently there is a list of sky-high bride prices in various provinces across the country, Zhejiang, Fujian, Heilongjiang ranks in the top three.
In some places, there are sayings such as "thousands of purples and thousands of reds and greens" and "motionless and motionless", among which "thousands of purples and thousands of reds and green" are popular expressions based on the color of the renminbi, including 5 yuan for 10,000 sheets, 100 yuan for 1,000 pieces and some 50 yuan, which is more than 150,000 yuan.
When it comes to the bride price, it seems like "everyone shouts at the rat crossing the street", but if you are a man, I advise you not to shout for the cancellation of the bride price.
There is a bride price for marriage, which has been the same since ancient times. The ancient Chinese book "The Book of Rites" says, "The wedding will be the best of the two surnames...... The gentleman is important, and it is based on the ...... of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, and asking for periods", which is the "Nacai" in which the man gives the woman a dowry, which is equivalent to the current bride price. In ancient times, when a woman married into a man's family, it was equivalent to the man's family gaining a labor force and the woman's family losing a producer.
On the other hand, once a woman got married, she rarely went back to her parents' home, and her daughter was not distressed, so the man gave a bride price, and the woman had a dowry at the same time, which was not for the man, but for the daughter personally, because she was afraid that the daughter would suffer after marrying.
Let's not mention the old things, let's just say that after the founding of New China, a new type of marriage began, and the bad habits and bad marriage culture such as buying and selling marriages, taking concubines, and men revoking wives at will were completely abolished.
The bride price has been changing with the times, in the 70s, "three turns and one ring", that is, watches, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, in the 80s, "four major pieces", that is, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, tape recorders, and later upgraded to "new four major items" cars, houses, smart home appliances and so on. Obviously, whether it is the "old four major pieces" or the "new four major pieces", for ordinary families, this bride price may also have to borrow money.
The development of the bride price to the point of sky-high price is actually a prisoner's dilemma, and no one is a winner.
There are also jokes on the Internet to deal with it. It is said that no matter how much the woman asks for a bride price, the man will meet them one by one, and he will buy whatever he wants. After getting married, the woman accompanies the man, tightens her clothes and food to repay the loan.
However, is it therefore said that the bride price is feudal dross, and only zero bride price is pure love? The same cannot be said for that.
Many boys are very good at giving examples, saying that you see that the glass king Cao Dewang was poor and had no decent bride price when he got married, and now he has become the richest man? Then you have to say this, there are more destitute men when talking about marriage, isn't there only one Cao Dewang? You are poor, you are Cao Dewang? Of course, I don't particularly like what girls say, "Just because I accept your money doesn't mean I accept your feelings."
Love and marriage are not bidding rankings, the more bride price, the happier you are? The less the bride price, the more unfortunate it is? Don't fool yourself.
If you want me to say, the bride price is a kind of ritual that is greater than the content, do what you can, and focus on a bride price, as the so-called: the bride price leads the leader, and the practice is in the two families. Just like Cao Dewang, even if he is poor when he gets married, as long as the husband and wife share joys and sorrows, life can be happy.
I also dare to say a word to the mothers-in-law
The bride price really doesn't matter that much
What's important
The most important thing is that my daughter is happy
The most important thing is that my daughter is happy
The most important thing is that my daughter is happy
