  1. It's just a symbol of family strength, but sometimes it is also forced to face. In May and October each year, there will always be a "golden bride" in the news. Most photos are wore a red wedding dress in a festive wedding room. Of course, the most striking is the dazzling golden color. In addition to the perfect bracelet, longevity locks or golden pigs, the most surprising thing is that many gold bracelets are placed on the neck. ——In the wedding that attracted attention in 2014, the bride wore dozens of kilograms of bracelets. There are 70 gold bracelets around the neck. The bride exudes a strong golden light and shows the economic resources of the new family to each guest. It doesn't matter if your family has money.

    "Quanzhou Bride" is synonymous with "Golden Bride", but this phenomenon is not unique to Quanzhou. The news reported the "Golden Bride" of Zhongshan, Shunde, Foshan, Fujian Quanzhou and Jinjiang. He Hongzhang's dowry at the wedding was dazzling. In addition to Fujian, Guangdong, there are also reports of "Golden Bride" in other regions. For example, "Golden Bride" appeared at the wedding in Chengdu, but the bride was from Shenzhen and was dressed as Shenzhen's customs. Critics are likely to blame the feudal etiquette. After all, most brides are wearing red Chinese wedding dresses instead of Western wedding dresses. But this proposition cannot be established.
    The Qing Dynasty began a dowry, because the Qing Dynasty was common in the country. Fujian, Guangdong is no exception. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam Bay, Yuechong, Yue East, Hebei East, Weinan and Hainan's dowry were very high. Chinese families "transported thousands of gold" and "spent hundreds of thousands of silver." But high dowry is not the same as hanging on the bride's neck for others to see. Rich families usually accompany shops, land and houses. For example, during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, Nian Yiyao's daughter married Qufu Yan Shenggong Confucius Mansion and bought 19 hectares in Jining as the "dowry" as her daughter.
    It can find the true origin of the Golden Bride in Southeast Asia. It can be said that the wedding custom of the golden bride in Fujian and Guangdong was introduced by Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Among them, the golden bride in Indonesia is the most exaggerated, and there are very few other regions.
