The source of Hui people's return gift is to take part from the bride price, but not all. Bridal price refers to the gifts and money given by the groom's family to the bride's family to show respect and gratitude to the bride's family. The content and value of the bride price are also agreed upon through consultation, usually including gold and silver utensils, jewelry, furniture, vehicles and other items. The amount and content of bride price also vary according to regions, families and customs.
In hui wedding, the return of gifts and bride price are both important etiquette and cultural traditions, representing the respect and gratitude between families. At the same time, the return gift and bride price also reflect the family's economic strength and social status. In modern society, the forms and contents of Hui people's return gifts and bride price are constantly changing and adjusting, but their significance and value still profoundly affect the marriage life of Hui people.
