My grandmother wants to know how much it costs to get married in Ningxia.

In ancient China, bride price was essential. That is, before marriage, the man brought his family to the woman's house to propose marriage, and brought an appropriate dowry. In Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, dowry has been an indispensable step since ancient times, but everything and how much have changed. How much is the wedding gift in Ningxia?

First of all, it is a custom in China since ancient times for a man to get married and give his wife a dowry. As a custom, it has been passed down to this day, but the content of dowry has undergone substantial changes. In ancient China, when men and women fell in love, they would give each other some personal items or meaningful items as tokens of love. Before and after liberation, if both parties decide to get married, the woman's family will charge a certain "value", which is an agreement reached with the man's family and later called the bride price. After liberation, people generally advocated the abolition of this "value for money" practice, but until today, people in many places still have the saying of "giving bride price" when they get married.

Secondly, Mr. Zhang and Ms. Deng, who live in Ningxia, 198 1 got married for more than 30 years. According to their memory, in those days, if the man had "three major items" when he got married, it was a very respectable thing. When they got married, bicycles and big suitcases were very popular. Sewing machine, etc. At the wedding, the man is responsible for preparing some furniture, the woman prepares some dowry, and then invites the people in the village to have dinner together, which is a wedding.

Finally, but now the marriage of young people in Ningxia is not just "three major events". Most of them will ask each other to have a house, a car, a deposit and a large amount of bride price money, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. If all these expenses are added up, for ordinary families, such expensive expenses are generally unbearable and even need to be in debt. Because in the news around us, there are many things that ruined the whole wedding because of the dowry before marriage. These are all examples that we need to take heed of. So how much is the wedding bride price in Ningxia? This is really something that needs careful consideration, because it is directly related to the ultimate success or failure of the wedding, the relationship between the two sides, and the family relationship between the two sides.
