Getting married is a happy thing. In China, marriage is not only related to the happiness of two people, but also related to the rise and fall of the family, which is often valued by the older generation. Compared with the modern concept of love, the elderly pay attention to marriage customs. In the traditional wedding customs, the gift of meeting and paying money represent the southern family's affluence, the parents' courtesy, and the amount of bride price also witnessed the groom's family's recognition of the woman. In Nanchang, the bride price of more than 200,000 yuan is a very respectable thing. ?

Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province and the center of politics and culture, so its customs are naturally more modern. I have lived in Nanchang for many years, but many friends have raised a question, why is the bride price in Nanchang comparable to that in Ganzhou? In contrast, Nanchang's material civilization is higher than Ganzhou's. Why is the bride price higher? To understand this problem, we might as well start with the marriage customs in Nanchang. Many people think that it costs a lot of money to get married in Nanchang, but in fact, it is mostly about "rules".

In Nanchang, after the honeymoon, the newlyweds will take them to see their parents. Generally, the woman will go to the man's house for dinner first, and when she meets the future new daughter-in-law, her in-laws will naturally get a good table to serve. After dinner, the good girl will receive a big red envelope. Of course, this amount is generally in the range of 1000-3000, and of course there are also 5000 or 10000, so you need to grasp it yourself. ?

After seeing each other's parents separately, the feelings will heat up to the point of talking about marriage. At this time, the groom, as the man, will organize a dinner party and invite both parents to sit together to discuss the wedding and the bride price. Of course, whether it is the first time or not, in order to show the openness of the man's family, the woman should be given a sum of "money", and the standard amount is 6600 or 8800.

Then we get down to business, bride price! Rumors about the sky-high bride price are endless, not to mention 200 thousand, 300 thousand, 400 thousand or even higher, but this is not all, nor can it represent all families. The man has spent a lot of money on buying a house and a car. As for the bride price, I don't think it is necessary to spend that much. In the case that the marriage customs in Nanchang are generally unaffected, the bride price can be given at least 68,000, and the higher one is 88,000 or 65,438+10,000, but no matter how much it is increased, it must end with the number 8, which is very auspicious in the eyes of Nanchang people.
