A woman married in Linfen, Shanxi, and her family married 288 pigs. In our country, when two people get married, the man should give a bride price and the woman should return a certain dowry. Generally speaking, it is furniture, home appliances, cars, or some gold and silver jewelry. But in Shanxi, a woman got married and her family married 288 pigs. The scene is spectacular. Every pig is about the same size, very big. These pigs are arranged in a row, and a red Zhang Xi word is greatly marked on the back of each pig. At first glance, the mighty pigs came, and the scene was very shocking. I think this is the first time I have seen such a scene. According to the guests attending the wedding at that time, he was also shocked when he saw the dowry of these 288 pigs.
China has a long history of customs and culture, especially weddings and local customs. The ancients paid great attention to etiquette. When they married their daughter, they attached great importance to the dowry. Some parents have no money, so they borrow money or sell their property to marry their daughters. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are usually several carriages in a girl's dowry, and some domestic animals, such as pigs, dogs and geese, are also essential. Imagine a herd of livestock walking in the middle of a farewell party. In addition, in ancient times, when a large family married a daughter, there were usually several maids to follow.
What other strange dowries have I seen? In the past, Zhejiang people married their daughters, and the dowry was even more wonderful. They will marry off all the mourning clothes that their daughters need to wear when their in-laws die, so that they can be filial daughters-in-law. The coffin board is also one of the dowry, which is used by their daughter when she is old. In addition, what are the so-called dowry items in ancient times? Dowry painting? The image of men and women in the above life is to let the bride and groom know how to live their private lives. Such things are generally indispensable in ancient dowry items, because 14-year-old people get married, and many people still don't know much about it.
