What do you mean by giving a bowl as a gift?
Sending bowls means that life is stable in the future; A stable life is a happy life.

The specific explanation is as follows:

The custom of giving a bowl as a gift originally came from Wenzhou, where a bowl must be given to your daughter.

Because "bowl" and "stability" are homophonic in Wenzhou dialect, in Wenzhou people's engagement custom, when the man gives the betrothal gift and the woman returns the gift, there must be a bowl in it.

Gifts are usually 64-piece bowls or 128-piece bowls in a big box. Although newlyweds don't need so many bowls, it is a necessary dowry for Wenzhou locals.

Wenzhou people send bowls to wish the newlyweds a stable life in the future and hope that the newlyweds can live a stable and happy life.

Although the material and cultural living standards in rural areas are improving day by day, the custom of sending bowls in farmers' wedding customs is still continuing as a cultural phenomenon.

There is no fixed formula for the custom of sending bowls in Wenzhou, but there is not much difference in general. Whether it is called "stealing a bowl" or "delivering a bowl", it implies the family's good wishes for a married couple, that is, a stable life, good luck and all the best.
