I'm from Changchun, Northeast China, and the first time I went to a woman's house, I heard that I had to bring four or five kinds of fruits with me. I don't know which ones exactly? Please help me!

According to traditional custom, the number of fruits to be brought to a woman's home should be an even number to show the good intention of being in pairs. Usually, you can choose four kinds of fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, cantaloupe, kiwi and so on. Five kinds of fruits are also possible, such as apples, oranges, grapes, grapefruit, strawberries and so on. Specific kinds can be chosen according to local customs and seasons, but don't choose some fruits with ambiguous or inappropriate meanings, such as pears (separation), persimmons (immortality), plums (departure from home), sugarcane (sweet words), and so on.

In short, by choosing an even number of fruits, avoiding fruits with improper meanings, and showing your sincerity and respect, you can make a good impression on the woman's family.
