Daily Proverb - Sons get farmland, daughters get dowries.
Sons inherit property, daughters receive dowries. This was the traditional way of distributing family assets in Taiwan, where sons would inherit real estate like land after the parents' passing, while daughters would receive a dowry upon marriage.

This proverb profoundly reflects the patriarchal structure and property inheritance logic of that era. While daughters were formally given dowries, the disparity in value compared to land assets indeed shaped different life trajectories for men and women. What are your thoughts on the distribution of rights under such traditional customs?
