The dowry of ancient women was rich and varied, much more exquisite than it is now. Of course, the amount of dowry depends on the actual situation. A poor daughter can't get married with so many things. For the rich, marrying a daughter is a big event and a matter of great face, so the rich often marry their daughters with great pomp and circumstance, with as many as one or two hundred tons of things, from wooden furniture to jewelry, from cosmetic cabinets to daily necessities. Wealthier families will also send their daughters cattle, sheep, horses, land and even real money, which will enable their daughters to hold their heads high and live a respected life in their in-laws' homes. Moreover, these dowry properties belong to the daughter for life and are protected by the law at that time. If the husband infringes on these properties, it is illegal.
White handkerchief In ancient times, when the bride's family married her daughter, there were some dowry items at the bottom of the wardrobe, which were very private and generally would not be shown to others. One of them is a white handkerchief, which was used by the couple that night and should be given to her mother-in-law the next day after use. This custom has existed since ancient times and was not abolished until modern times, mainly because ancient girls had a strong sense of chastity and society attached great importance to it. A woman's quality can often be judged by a white handkerchief.
Life Atlas This is also the personal item at the bottom of the dowry box, and it is even more difficult to show it to others. People who have seen it usually blush unless they are particularly dark or thick-skinned. For ancient people, in order to make their children live smoothly when they get married, they must give appropriate written guidance when they get married, and life album has become one of the most convenient and effective means.
