The custom in the central area of Jining is probably that parents of both men and women buy clothes for them first and wear them when they are engaged. Clothes include inside and outside, including socks, belts and so on. \x0d\ There's still money to change the tune, male 1000 1, female 6000. \x0d\ The man wants to buy an engagement ring for the woman, and some want to buy three gold (necklaces, rings and earrings). There is also a big red suitcase. The man should put socks and underwear (the red one should be bought) and gold in it. The engagement is the most important thing. Parents, relatives and friends of both parties and some leaders of both units are invited to witness. Let the guests see the above gifts at the engagement party. Set off firecrackers and hang them up. These should be prepared about two weeks in advance, so be careful and patient.
