Why do you buy offspring barrels when you get married?

When a child is born early, dried fruits such as red dates, longevity fruit, lychee, longan and lotus seeds with good expectations are put in the child's bucket, which means many children and many blessings, and represents the blessing for the couple to "have a baby early". There will also be five red eggs in the children's bucket, symbolizing that "five children have passed the exam". The bucket of a healthy and prosperous child symbolizes wealth and happiness. It is the mascot of the red paint toilet in the traditional wedding custom in southern China, and it is prepared to protect health and longevity for future generations. Modern people will also use this auspicious item when they get married, hoping for good health and prosperous career. With the continuous development of marriage customs in modern society, the complex combination of children's barrels is gradually simplified into simple handicrafts, and the custom of preparing children's barrels for marriage has been handed down. From the past to the present, children's buckets are prepared by elders, which means that elders want new people to be diligent and enterprising and have a successful career.

Tong Tong, also called Tong Bao Tong, is a dowry for girls when they get married. It means to have many children. The treasure bucket of previous generations consists of three parts: toilet, footbath and bucket. The offspring bucket needs to be carried into the bridal chamber by the bride's parents before the bride enters the door. Generally, it is used to hold some meaningful items, such as dates, which represent your son's early birth, peanuts, immortality, many children and many blessings, five eggs, which represent five children to be admitted, and some dried fruits such as longan, lily and lotus seeds will be put in. Some will put chopsticks at the request of their mother-in-law, which means that life should be fast.
