The ranking of the national bride price cities is released: the first and last places differ by 18 times
How much does it cost us Chinese to get married?
Statistics show that in 2019, the average value of each novice marriage transaction in China reached more than 223,000 yuan, which was 3.5 times that of five years ago. And this is the most important transaction, not counting the "hidden expenses" of buying a house and a car.
It's no wonder that the demand for marriage among contemporary young people has dropped sharply, and the response is strong: "Thank you for your invitation, we have made good preparations for dying alone."
"Marriage" was originally a synonym for "happiness and happiness", but now it is firmly linked to "spending money" and "inconvenience", and the bride price is "obvious to all".
The "Quality Change" of the Betrothal Gift
As an indispensable part of traditional Chinese marriage customs, the bride price is also known as the "wedding gift", which is the private collection of the man's property by the woman when discussing the marriage. The dowry is a utensil that a woman sends to the man's home when she is married.
Originally based on the standard of "exchange value", both parties need not be anxious about it, but in today's society, the dowry has made thousands of children cry, why is this? In addition to the factors of improper opening of the house, in the social background where there are many girls and boys, the economic development of women's families does not seem to be so critical, and the pressure of money and work suddenly shifts to the male side. If you meet a negotiable woman's home, there is room for negotiating the betrothal money. If you encounter "keep your eyes and don't release the pressure", you can only go back to the old road of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
The state of betrothal gifts across the country
In 2020, the data on betrothal gifts from all over the country show that the top three are Zhejiang Province, Heilongjiang Province, and Fujian Province. The betrothal gifts are more than 183,000 yuan, 152,000 yuan, and 131,000 yuan respectively. The least is Hainan Province, which is only more than 11,000 yuan. Therefore, After that, don’t say that Jiangxi Province is expensive, and Zhejiang Province’s betrothal gifts are the best, leading all provinces and regions across the country.
Regarding the status of wedding gifts for married people, there are changes in the provinces and regions. The top three are Shandong Province, Hebei Province, and Guangdong Province, and Jiangxi Province, which has the largest betrothal gift on the Internet, has not yet entered the top ten.
Another way of "bringing gifts": buying a house
It is only the fact that the bride price is already sufficient to make people "frustrated", and for contemporary young people, the hidden marriage transaction-buying a house is the most expensive part. A house represents safety and stability. No parents expect their children to live a daily life without a fixed place after they get married. Therefore, it can be understood that buying a house is essential for starting a family and starting a business. But how difficult it is to buy a house these days, everyone is tacitly aware that under the national policy of "applying for a house by lottery" in some areas, the rich may not be able to buy a house, let alone without money?
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in the third week of January 2021, the statistics of house prices in 70 key cities across the country were released. Among the 70 cities this week, 21 fell and 49 rose. The housing market is in a strong state. , the total number of cities that have increased greatly exceeds the number of cities that have fallen.
