Traditional bride price usually includes gold ornaments, red envelopes, cloth, drinks, fruits, sweets and other items, symbolizing wealth, happiness and prosperity. In addition, some areas will add some symbolic items, such as dragon and phoenix cakes and red ribbons, to express their wishes for the happiness of newly married couples.
In modern society, with the change of ideas and people's personal choices, some couples will discuss with each other, one or both of them will give each other gifts, or choose not to exchange too much dowry. This mainly depends on the wishes of both husband and wife and family traditions. Generally speaking, whether men and women give gifts to each other, the key lies in mutual respect, understanding and communication.
