According to Chinese custom, after engagement, a man or his family usually offers the woman's parents a moderate amount of money or gifts as a tribute (or caili) for bringing up their daughter.
But this tradition has changed and caili has become more like a commercial transaction, as some would-be brides' parents ask for exorbitant amounts of money and precious gifts as caili.
