Why do some rural people prepare quilts for their daughters?
This is a custom in the countryside. There are two reasons for the emergence and spread of folk customs, one is good luck, and the other is that it has a specific role in the historical background at that time. In Tujili's view, a family preparing a quilt means "a lifetime". It embodies people's good wishes for marriage. Besides, it is also important for the bride's family to choose the right person to sew. The first thing is to choose a married woman with good eyes and fine craftsmanship. The second thing is to choose the zodiac. After the wedding date was fixed, the sewing work at the bride's house began. A woman who is chosen to do needlework and live a happy life must have a good life, and both parents are necessary.

Followed by quilt cover, quilt cover, cotton, needle, thread, thimble and so on. Everything used must be new, which means that the bride has a new look. Four people sewed a quilt with snow-white cotton wool, and embroidered happiness with the words "riches and honour, dragons and phoenixes", "Yuanyang playing in water" or "happy" and "happiness" on bright red satin, which was regarded as success. Every quilt has a happy and beautiful meaning. In addition, men should provide new cotton to sew quilts.

In the past, the more quilts a girl got married, the better. Perhaps in the eyes of people of that era, the more quilts she got married, the richer her family would be. It's different now. Everyone has a high standard of living. There is no need to use some quilts to highlight your financial resources. In addition, most quilts are even, and a few have 4 to 8 beds. In some relatively wealthy families, there can even be 20 quilts to accompany, which is very lively and spectacular. After the quilt is sewn, money is usually put in. Most of them are 100 yuan, which means that the future will be beautiful and you don't have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun.

In short, no matter how the society changes, parents will attach great importance to these customs when they marry their daughters. They want their daughter to be happy all her life and not be bullied by others. It's sad to inherit the wind
