If the bride&#8217;s family receives a \u5927\u8058 d\u00e0p\u00ecn, it is often used to purchase bridal furniture, although in many cases, it is returned to the groom&#8217;s family after the wedding.<br>Conversely, \u5c0f\u8058 xi\u01ceop\u00ecn is often referred to as &#8220;clothing money&#8221; or &#8220;diaper money.&#8221; It symbolizes the bride&#8217;s family&#8217;s nurturing of their daughter and is used by the bride more directly in her new family.<br>In many major cities in Taiwan and China, changing social attitudes have led to a decline in the practice of betrothal money. Today, people view the act of marrying off a daughter as a joyful occasion rather than a transaction, and as a result, betrothal money is often no longer a requirement. However, in some rural areas, the tradition of betrothal money remains a significant aspect of wedding customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u4f60<\/span><rt>n\u01d0<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u751f<\/span><rt>sh\u0113ng<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u4ec0\u9ebc<\/span><rt>sh\u00e9nme<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u6c23<\/span><rt>q\u00ec<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\uff0c<\/span><rt> <\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u8a72<\/span><rt>g\u0101i<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u751f\u6c23<\/span><rt>sh\u0113ngq\u00ec<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u7684<\/span><rt>de<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u4eba<\/span><rt>r\u00e9n<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u662f<\/span><rt>sh\u00ec<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u6211<\/span><rt>w\u01d2<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u5427<\/span><rt>ba<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u4f60<\/span><rt>n\u01d0<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u751f<\/span><rt>sh\u0113ng<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u4ec0\u4e48<\/span><rt>sh\u00e9nme<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u6c14<\/span><rt>q\u00ec<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\uff0c<\/span><rt> <\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u8be5<\/span><rt>g\u0101i<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u751f\u6c14<\/span><rt>sh\u0113ngq\u00ec<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u7684<\/span><rt>de<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u4eba<\/span><rt>r\u00e9n<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u662f<\/span><rt>sh\u00ec<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u6211<\/span><rt>w\u01d2<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u5427<\/span><rt>ba<\/rt><\/ruby><br>Why are you getting angry?
