Why has the bride price been passed down to this day?

The bride price has always been an important part of Chinese weddings, because it has a profound historical and cultural background in China culture. As early as ancient times, there was a custom of using bride price in China's ancient weddings. The bride price was regarded as a symbol of the family, which could show the social status and wealth of the groom's family. In addition, the bride price also reflects the man's respect and love for the woman, and it is also a kind of compensation for the woman to leave her family. Therefore, the bride price has continued since ancient times and is considered to be an indispensable part of marriage. Although modern society has moved towards the concept of intangible marriage, as a part of traditional culture, bride price is still valued by many people.
