What does the three gold include?

Modern "Sanjin" generally weighs 4-6 grams of rings, necklaces 10- 15 grams and earrings 3-5 grams, with a total weight of about 17-26 grams. According to the calculation of gold jewelry per gram of 350 yuan, it costs about 6000 yuan-10000 yuan (excluding manual price).

In different dynasties, the purchasing power of gold is different, and the measurement standards are also different. In the middle of Qing dynasty, it was customary to measure the value of gold by the price of grain. In fact, "three gold" is not only because of its price. The three kinds of jewelry contained in Sanjin represent love, loyalty and beauty respectively. It is no longer just a simple embellishment, but implicitly conveys words that can be said but will not be said to each other.
