The allusion to the birth of a daughter to plant a balsam camphor

The allusion to having a daughter and planting a camphor tree is as follows: according to legend, in the big families in Jiangnan, if a baby girl is born, the parents will plant a camphor tree in the courtyard of their home, and when the daughter reaches the age of getting married, the camphor sapling of more than ten years ago has grown into a big tree. When the daughter reaches marriageable age, the sapling of the camphor tree grows into a big tree. Whenever a matchmaker sees this tree outside the courtyard, she will know that there is a girl to be married in the family, and she will be able to propose marriage. When the daughter gets married, the family will cut down the tree, made into two large boxes, and put silk, as a dowry, to take the "two together (two boxes of silk)" meaning.
