I am not Chinese nor do I claim to be an expert on Chinese culture. That said, my cousin married a woman from China a few years ago and the family insisted upon a traditional wedding. This involved the gifting of bedding, teas, and a dowry.

Recently, I read a historical fiction novel called “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” that went over a lot of the traditional Chinese wedding traditions, many of which I can only assume are still in practice in some form. Definitely recommend if you’re interested in history, Chinese culture, or feminism.
