Generally, this ceremony is very grand, because the amount of the gift the man gives to the woman not only reflects how much he values ​​the woman, but also reflects the financial status of his family.
Each item in the betrothal gift should have an auspicious name. For example, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were nine fixed betrothal gifts, including cassia bark, Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, cattail leaf, red reed, double stones, cotton wool, longevity thread, dry lacquer, etc. Each item has the meaning of blessing the couple's love to last forever.
(2) Avoid odd numbers for betrothal gifts <br /> The number should be even, as even numbers are a symbol of good luck. There is a saying among the people that "good things come in pairs". The odd number is an unlucky symbol and is therefore taboo.
(3) Avoid shoes in the betrothal gift <br /> In some places, it is taboo to include shoes in the betrothal gift because people are afraid that the woman will wear the shoes and run away.
(4) Avoid putting meat filling in the betrothal gift box <br /> In some places, it is forbidden to put meat filling in the betrothal gift box. It is said that if meat filling is put in the betrothal gift box, the new bride will be slow in temper and will be slow in doing anything.
