Jinxiang, Jining, what do you need to prepare for marriage proposal? What is the custom?

I come from Jinxiang. Actually, this kind of thing is simple. If the relationship is basically confirmed and both parents agree, then discuss with each other's parents how heavy the local gifts are. In our place, after we get engaged, we usually visit each other's relatives, celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, and then bring many things, such as wine and meat. We still have the custom of returning gifts in Mamiao Town. That is to say, return the empty bag you brought, which contains fifty, one hundred or more dollars. On the whole, I can't let you newcomers suffer. There are not many specific customs in Jinxiang. There is no such thing as selling a daughter. Mainly to make the other parents have a lot of face. I have several female classmates who give more from their parents' home than from their in-laws'.

Of course, if we meet for the first time, we should bring some gifts. This applies everywhere.
