How much is the bride price in Putian?

Many people often say that gifts in Putian are very expensive, costing at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. Is this true?

I have summarized the general situation reported by netizens, and the details are as follows:

Netizen @Heylazhu: It seems that the price is not this at my place. Of course, if you have money, it will be different. Never mind. Generally speaking, urban areas are more expensive. I have a classmate from a technical secondary school who got married two years ago. It seems to be from Zhongmen or Licheng. They say the bride price is 800,000, but this is a case where the conditions of both families are pretty good. .

Netizen @陈达山人: It mainly depends on the other party’s family situation. There is no standard for the bride price. If the other party is from an ordinary family, you will always Can't we ask their families to pay the same amount of bride price according to the standards of wealthy families?

Netizen @伊斯娜蒂: To tell the truth, my two cousins ??got married during the Chinese New Year this year, one for 888,000 yuan and the other for 988,000 yuan.

Of course, some netizens said that it would cost at least 300,000 yuan to start. Compared with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan in other places, the betrothal gifts in Putian are indeed so high that everyone knows.

But the girls in Putian are also famous for being nice. If you want to marry a Putian wife, you have to save money carefully. (Huang Xiaoqun from Strait Network)

First of all, there are many towns in Putian, which are close to the urban area. The bride price is generally around 100,000, excluding cars and houses. After all, the concept is relatively mature. Click down, Huangshi Town, about Between 200,000 and 300,000, Watstone Town, because it is close to Dongzhuang Town, has been getting higher year by year in recent years. According to last year’s fluctuation, it is about 500,000 yuan, and further down, Dongzhuang Town, In the entire town, many families are in private enterprises and are relatively wealthy. A few years ago, the betrothal gifts there ranged from 30 to several million. There is also a known town, Zhongmen Town, which was the star town of Putian in the early days. Most of the wood, ceramic tiles, and steel materials come from this town, and the bride price is usually as high as the sky, ranging from 1.8 million to 1.8 million yuan. This is still the market for ordinary families. You can imagine how abnormal the local wedding style is. By the way, it is also There is Beigao Town, where all the country's precious jewelry such as gold, platinum, and diamonds come from. However, generally speaking, the average value is not as high as that of Dongzhuang Zhongmen. Unless there are some very wealthy families who like high-end styles, the single bride price will not be enough. Millions. In short, the wedding culture in Putian is really undesirable and has caused suffering to most families!

How much is the bride price in Putian?

Putian City has jurisdiction over counties and districts: Xianyou County, Chengxiang District, Licheng District, Hanjiang District and Xiuyu District, but the bride price in each district is different. For example, the bride price in Hanjiang District is You can marry a daughter-in-law with about 120,000 to 30,000 yuan. Of course, this is the price of the bride price alone, excluding gold and banquets. The bride price of Chengxiang District and Hanjiang District are about the same, while the difference in Licheng District is huge. Licheng is in the city It's also about 120,000.

There are also differences between Huangshi Town and Beigao Town. Huangshi’s price ranges from 350,380,000 to 410,450, but Xiuyu District is the most expensive district to marry a girl. In the past few years, Dongzhuang local tycoons have been rewarded with sky-high bride prices. In Dongzhuang and Zhongmen towns, the bride is a beauty pageant school beauty. As long as the girl is not short of money, the woman can agree to marry her for seven to eight hundred thousand yuan. Family, as a result, the following towns have relatively average economic resources and cannot keep up. Dongqiao Town, Daitou Town, Pinghai Town and Nanri Town. The bride price of these towns is about 420,460,000. The time does not include golden banquets, so now there are many men and women left, and the betrothal money is expensive, and one party is unwilling to marry and the other is unwilling to marry.

Everyone knows that the economy can’t afford it. Many young men’s parents are farmers. Some of them work part-time, do small businesses, and do small crafts. They work hard for a year and can only save 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in the end. I am reluctant to give up food and clothing, but the money I earn in a year is not enough to increase the price of bride price. Nowadays, many boys are single in their 30s, and there are also girls who are 20 or 30 years older. Because the man cannot afford to marry, the woman will not marry if it is cheap. , as each year passes, everyone reaches the age where men and women are left.

Xianyou County also has unequal bride price. Licheng’s bride price is about 120,000, including 350,000 to 380,000 for Jiaowei, Linan, Bangtou, Basia, Duwei, Daji, etc... In the meantime, such an expensive betrothal gift means that the man's family can't afford it, and if he marries a wife, he will be poor until liberation.

In recent years, various places and township governments have been trying their best to resist high bride-prices, and in some places there are even zero bride-prices. Now, Putian's scene of high bride price has also changed. The bride price in various places has also been reduced, and there are even zero bride prices in some places.

The era of millions of brides in Putian is about to end the historical stage

Nowadays, the bride price in many places cannot exceed 180,000

What is the bride price in your hometown?

Are the “betrothal gifts” in Putian “exorbitantly expensive”?

I checked and found that this question was asked before February 13, 2018. In more than two years, we have experienced many changes, and the amount of bride price is different. I will answer based on the standards from two years ago:

The average betrothal gift in Putian is around 500,000-600,000 yuan. As for whether it is a "sky-high price"? This mainly depends on the area.

The betrothal gifts in Chengxiang District, Hanjiang District, Licheng District and Xianyou District are relatively reasonable and acceptable. The betrothal gifts in some industrial parks are obviously higher. Also in Xiuyu District, Dongzhuang, Zhongmen, the northern shore of Meizhou Bay and Beigao near the coastal areas generally have higher betrothal gifts. The private economy in these places is active and the trend of comparison is prevalent. Pinghai, Dongqiao, Daitou, Watshi, Lingchuan, etc. are less common. The ratio of marriageable men to women is now seriously imbalanced. If a boy from an economically developed place goes on a blind date to an economically underdeveloped place, the price will be negotiated based on the local situation. . Rural people have a very straightforward saying: "The rich marry their daughters, and the poor sell their daughters." To put it bluntly, it is a marriage business!

This marriage "sale" is divided into two types: one is "full marriage" and the other is "receipt".

"Full marriage" is a Putian dialect. As the name suggests, the two families have agreed on the betrothal gift, and the woman needs large items such as home appliances and mahogany furniture for her marriage. According to local customs, it is all purchased as a comprehensive dowry. This kind of betrothal gift is slightly higher, mostly in the millions. However, the remaining dowry after purchasing the dowry is actually not much different from the "actual receipt", but it looks better in appearance. ; Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep!

"Actual receipt" means that the girl is not given a dowry, or some bedding and some simple daily necessities are given as a dowry, and the actual received betrothal gift is at the disposal of the girl's parents. This kind of betrothal gift is more powerful than the former one. Less than a part. In my area, the difference between the two kinds of betrothal gifts is at least ten or two hundred thousand yuan. Generally, the man’s financial conditions for “actually received” betrothal gifts are slightly tight. Some use the excuse that the house is not decorated, and this kind of gift is often used. way to relieve financial pressure.

Regardless of whether it is "full marriage" or "receipt", the girl's parents will "press the purse strings" for their daughter. How much "purse" do you press? It depends on the conditions of the woman’s family, you can do whatever you want. In our local area, there is generally no cap for more than 100,000 yuan.

To understand whether the betrothal gifts in Putian are sky-high, as a Putian native, I will introduce what I know about the wedding customs in our Xiuyu District. After you read it carefully, you can make your own judgment here. Is the bride price "sky-high"?

The coordinates are in Yuetang Town, about five kilometers away from Zhongmen Town, five kilometers away from Watstone Town, eight kilometers away from Dongzhuang, and close to the north shore of Meizhou Bay, Daitou, Beigao, Dongqiao, Pinghai, The distance between Lingchuan and Lingchuan is about ten kilometers. Within a radius of ten kilometers, the level of betrothal gifts varies. There are those in the million level, there are those between fifty and one million, there are those below fifty, and the lowest ones should be around thirty. In other places in Putian, the general market price is between 300,000 and 800,000. Of course, there are also tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or 200,000 in urban or mountain areas. The requirements for the "million-dollar gift" are very high: focus on virginity complex, no love experience, girls are between 18-22 years old, college students can relax the age, height is about 165MM, good looks and high IQ can get high betrothal gifts. It usually occurs in relatively affluent rural areas, and urban office workers receive less betrothal gifts, but the woman will ask for a house, a car, and a career.

In recent years, Putian has vigorously advocated "changing customs" and put an end to the propaganda of high betrothal gifts. Betrothal gifts have returned to rationality. For the extraordinary and refined Jiao Jiao, it is inevitable to operate in the dark, which smells like a secret auction with a high price. The size of the bride price is mainly linked to the people's economic income and the ratio of men and women of marriageable age; of course, the bride price is also directly proportional to the girl's appearance, figure, and academic qualifications.

There are reasons behind Putian’s high salary that outsiders don’t understand. Where I live, after a woman gets married, she no longer enjoys the inheritance rights of her natal family and the obligation to support the elderly. There is an old saying that "the daughter who is married is the water that is thrown out." Therefore, Gao Beili became the daughter's main supporter for her parents! This is a problem left over from history. Of course, many sensible parents now have changed this traditional concept and treat both men and women equally.

In Putian, the most important thing is to be "well-matched". In fact, I think the betrothal gifts from wealthy families are just for outsiders to see. The betrothal gifts are millions, and the dowries often include villas, luxury cars, shares, cash, gold bars, etc. The shadow of the local tycoons in southern Fujian mainly focuses on both face and lizi as well as engineering projects. Of course, there are exceptions: a few years ago, when my neighbor married his daughter, the man was from Wat Shi Wendong, and the bride price he paid to the girl was 588,000 yuan. At that time, the price of Wat Shi was considered a "sky-high" betrothal gift. The bride's family will have a Mercedes Benz, a city apartment, a cash deposit of 5 million, and other furniture to accompany their daughter. You said, is it a "sky-high price gift"? The boy works in the Beijing company of the woman’s family. The two of them know each other well and are not a “match”.

Another point is that rural people are very realistic! The girl's parents will know about the boy's social background, as well as the boy's family's economic and housing conditions, and whether the boy has brothers and how many brothers? Is it the eldest son or the second son? Do you have a sister to be married? Is it a big family or a small family? Wait, wait. These are all considerations when talking about betrothal gifts.

In ordinary families, "arranged marriage" still exists for a long time. After the woman goes on a blind date with the man, both parties agree to get engaged. As long as the man's family has a house, he will generally not be required to buy a house or a car in the city. The man's character and work status are the main factors. The bride price also generally depends on both parties. Family conditions will be matched by matchmakers within an acceptable range.

Most people in Putian like "local cows eat local grass", but the divorce rate has been rising in recent years, and there have been cases of marriage fraud in some places. "Sky-high betrothal gifts" will naturally make people shudder! Therefore, today's young people are no longer limited to the traditional way of dating, but pursue happy marriages through free love. As for the amount of the bride price, it is usually discussed by the young people themselves, and the parents only provide reference suggestions. The betrothal gifts for long-distance marriages are generally based on the customs of the woman. When girls from Putian look for boys from the Northeast, they mainly use the betrothal gifts from the Northeast. When it comes to marriage in a long-distance relationship, the parents of both parties are more open-minded and will not be like those in their hometown. Like comparison.

If a man and a woman truly love each other, they should think from each other's perspective, and don't miss out on your marriage because of "sky-high" betrothal gifts.

Finally, I would like to add one point: the question about Putian’s “sky-high betrothal gifts” seems to be just for girls’ high betrothal gifts; but, is it also true for boys’ “sky-high betrothal gifts”? Let me answer them all here. How to say it? Most Putian people prefer boys over girls. If there are no boys, superbirths are inevitable. Some are afraid of being fined for having more than one child, so they have no choice but to think about recruiting "two care" or recruiting a son-in-law. "Lianggu" means that neither party has any betrothal gift, and they must have at least two children, one for each child. In order to continue the family tradition, both men and women can discuss and choose which party to live with. Those who recruit a son-in-law are usually boys who have multiple brothers and cannot afford a wife, so they have no choice but to go to the door-to-door son-in-law. In Putian's saying, it is "to be someone else's son." The man's parents have worked so hard to support their eldest son, are they just given to the woman like this? This also involves "bride price". As for whether it is a "sky-high price"? Every place is different. In our jurisdiction, it is not fully disclosed that the woman will probably have to give the man a gift of around 100,000-300,000 yuan. The specifics will depend on the man’s conditions before discussing. The bride price will rise and fall every year as the market changes.

I don’t know how much the betrothal gift in Putian is.

Fujian is an economically developed area, especially along the coast, and most of them are engaged in business. Mainly, there are many rich people. Putian is a famous place in the country, but marriages are arranged according to traditional methods. During the engagement, the man gives the woman gold and silver bracelets, and the minimum betrothal gift is 200,500,500,000. It should be different depending on the person. No.

With the improvement of social living standards, what parents are most concerned about is the marriage of their children. Marrying a wife and marrying a daughter is a very happy thing, like most young people in Putian. Of course, when doing business, you have less time to fall in love. As long as you can find the person you like, hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts are nothing to them.

I think in economically developed areas, the more expensive the betrothal gifts are. There are many wealthy people, so the demands of women must be high. Who would be willing to let their daughter get married? Moreover, some places in Putian pay special attention to etiquette, the traditional custom of burning incense and worshiping Buddha. The daughter-in-law naturally spends a lot of money. In fact, the bride price is also a kind of consumption. According to her own conditions, happiness is the most important.

The bride price in Putian is the highest in the country, usually in the tens of thousands, and some are tens of millions. , but she also has a lot of dowry.

Many people often say that Putian’s gift is very expensive, at least 5.6 million. Is this true?

Netizens reported? The overall situation is summarized as follows:

It seems that the price in my house is different. Of course, money is another matter. Generally speaking, it is more expensive in urban areas. I have a high school student who got married two years ago. It seems that he came from Zhongmen or Licheng. He said that the dowry was 800,000, but the conditions of the two families were quite good. (Information picture. )

Netizen @陈大山: It mainly depends on the family situation of the other party. If the other party is an ordinary family, you cannot ask their family to give out the same amount of gift as the family standard of the local tyrants and evil gentry, right?

Netizen @isnatti: To be honest, our cousin got married during the Spring Festival this year, with a price of 888,000 yuan and 988,000 yuan.

Of course, some netizens said that there should be at least 300,000 people to start with. Compared with tens of thousands of yuan and more than 100,000 yuan in other places, Putian’s engagement price is indeed very high.

But Putian girls are also very famous. If you want to marry a Putian daughter-in-law, you have to save money.
