Yang Qingjiang, a famous expert in Quanzhou's literature and history, once said that in Quanzhou's marriage customs, it is customary to have gold in the dowry and dowry at the time of marriage, but there is no regulation on the quantity. Generally, the purchase quantity is considered according to the actual situation of the family. In the past, when the wedding was held in Quanzhou, the in-laws dressed up the bride with gold ornaments such as necklaces, bracelets, rings and anklets, so as to "lock" the bride and let her live safely. Nowadays, ordinary people usually prepare at least one pair of rings, a pair of bracelets and a gold necklace when they get married, while those with better family economic conditions will prepare more.

Professor Xiao Beiying from the School of Humanities and Public Relations Management of Huaqiao University said that wearing gold when getting married is a wedding custom in Quanzhou and a way for the bride to inherit the family property. The woman's family hopes that her daughter can have economic independence and family status in her husband's family through a generous dowry. In addition, the dowry is also the family's help and investment for the bride's future development.
