The four gifts returned by most cities in China are necklaces, rings, earrings and wallets. For example, Xi 'an's four engagement gifts are heart meat, lotus seeds, alcohol and tobacco, and some places also give back eight gifts. When engaged, the man sends bride price money to the woman's family, and the woman also prepares some gifts for the man.

Engagement is a kind of contractual behavior in law, and it is also an identity contract. The marriage contract shall not be signed by others, otherwise it will have no legal effect and can only be established with the consent of both men and women.

Only those who have the legal capacity for engagement can engage in engagement. Men are over 17 years old and women are over 15 years old. The engagement of minors under the age of 20 requires the consent of the legal representative.

The engagement is not mandatory, but according to the wishes of both parties. If one party fails to perform, it shall not be executed.
