1. Dowry
Before getting engaged, the man has to prepare the betrothal gifts, which are generally divided into six-piece and twelve-piece types. The gifts mainly include tobacco, alcohol, tea, sugar, fruits, dried fruits, chicken, duck, fish and meat, etc. The man chooses according to his own conditions and local traditional customs, and sends them to the woman's home on the day of engagement.
2. Engagement
The betrothal gift is the wedding gift, and the requirements for the amount of the wedding gift are different in each place. In some places, the bride price is just a formality and the amount requirement is not too high, while in some areas like Guangdong and Fujian, the requirements for the bride price are a little higher. The man should prepare appropriate gifts according to local customs.

4. Banquet
The engagement banquet is usually hosted by the woman, but the man should roughly estimate the cost of the wedding banquet and then give the money to the woman, which is the banquet gift.
