[quote=WINDENERGY,245993]CHYNAGYRL, This custom, like or not, is necessary for keeping the high standards and rights of single pure in China. It goes back to the ancient myths involving a goddess named Nv Wa and the creation of man and woman. (See MAY001's thread September 11th Chinese Legend Tells: Nv Wa Created the Human) According to ancient legend: First, the man should ask a matchmaker to talk about the marriage with the woman's family. Then when they agreed he should send some gifts as to show his sincerity. Last, the woman should move to the man's home since food and protection was provided by him. What I find as strange is that this seems to only apply to girls from northern China. In Yunnan province, it is not necessary to bestow large gifts to the future bride's family before marriage. So, I would probably be better off finding a girl from southern China to marry. As luck, or fate, would have it, the girl I want to be with forever is from Xi' An. __WINDENERGY__[/quote]
