Box money

In ancient times, mothers prepared "help money" for their daughters in case of accidents, so that they could come in handy when they were in distress and loneliness. When they got married, the woman must wear a box of money to enter the man's door. According to traditional Chinese customs, It is an auspicious omen, representing that both men and women had savings before they got married. ^[1]

Chinese weddings have a history of thousands of years. According to legend, weddings already existed during the Xia Dynasty. They were the earliest wedding nations in the world.

There are many red tapes to marry. Including: marriage proposal, blind date, pressing box, marrying relatives, greeting, getting on the sedan, getting off the sedan, worshiping the heaven and earth, entering the cave room, banquet, seeing a newcomer, making a hole in the cave, back to the door. This form of marriage has continued until now. ^[1]

On the day before the woman got married, the bride's sister-in-law or elder sister packed the bride's wedding dress into a box, and then put money on the wedding dress. After the bride arrives at her in-law's house, the mother-in-law has to put money in this box, which is more than the amount of money. On the day before or on the morning of the marriage, the dowry of the maid's house was inserted by the woman or younger brother and sent to the man's house, which means everlasting evergreen. After the dowry was delivered, the man's family treated him with a banquet. The accompany guest asked for the unpacking key from the dowry person and sealed the money for the key holder. After the other party was satisfied, the key was surrendered. ^[1]
