The first paragraph: Grandma's story: When I was young, my grandma often told me the story between her and grandpa. What impressed me the most was the story she told when she got married. At that time, China went through a difficult period of three years, also known as the Three-Year Famine, which refers to a period of nationwide famine in the People's Republic of China from 1959 to 1961. Some scholars included 1958 and 1962 as a period of famine. According to estimates by various parties, the great famine that occurred during the three-year difficult period caused a total of 15 to 55 million abnormal deaths in mainland China. It is widely regarded as the largest famine in human history, and it is also regarded as the largest in human history. One of the serious man-made disasters.（https://zh(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/%E4%B8%89%E5%B9%B4%E5%9B%B0%E9%9A%BE%E6%97%B6%E6%9C%9F）When grandma married grandpa, she sewed a pair of underwear as a wedding gift for grandpa. For the Chinese at that time, eating enough was a problem. My grandma told me that people at that time got married by sewing a pair of underwear, a new dress, or a new quilt. These items remind me of people's wedding rings today. As a student majoring in jewelry design, I am very curious about what has changed people's choice of giving memorabilia in intimate relationships? Before the ring was used as an expression of a wedding memorial,，In China in the 1950s, people had nothing to give to each other because the material level was very low and people had almost no material requirements. People in the 1960s generally regarded a bed, a kettle, a spittoon, and a washbasin as wedding souvenirs. The total value added up to about 15 yuan. Although it seems not to mention it now, it was a sky-high price at the time. The memorials in the 1970s included a bed, a table, a cupboard, a cupboard and 4 chairs. At that time, the total value was about 200 yuan, which was considered a luxury. In China in the 1980s, people's material level gradually improved. The memorials included a watch, a sewing machine and a bicycle. And these three things have to recognize the brand. The best watch is Shanghai brand, the sewing machine is butterfly brand, and the bicycle is permanent brand. It can be seen that people have gradually pursued brand and quality of life at that time. The four major pieces of marriage in the 1990s have become refrigerators, washing machines, tape recorders, and televisions, with a total value of almost 3,000 yuan.
First paragraph: (Mainly talk about)
When I was a little girl, my grandmother used to tell me stories about her and my grandfather. One of the stories that impressed me the most was the one she told that happened when she was married. At that time, China was going through the Three Years of Hardship, also known as the Three Years Famine, a period of national famine in the People's Republic of China between 1959 and 1961, and some scholars classify 1958 and 1962 as the famine period. According to various estimates, the famine that occurred during the Three Years of Hardship caused a total of 15 to 55 million unnatural deaths in mainland China, and is widely regarded as the largest famine in human history and as one of the worst man-made disasters in human history. (https://zh(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/%E4%B8%89%E5%B9%B4%E5%9B%B0%E9%9A%BE%E6%97%B6%E6%9C%9F) When my grandmother married my grandfather, she hand-sewed a pair of pants as a wedding gift for him. During that period it was a problem for the Chinese to have enough food to eat. Grandma told me that the most people got married in those days was to sew a pair of underpants, a new dress, or a new quilt. These items reminded me of the wedding rings people have today. As a student of jewellery design, I was curious as to what has changed the choice of souvenirs people give in their intimate relationships. Before rings were used as an expression of a wedding memento, people in China in the 1950s had nothing to give each other because the material level was very low and people had few material wants. In the 1970s, souvenirs included a bed, a table, a cupboard, a cabinet and four chairs, the total value of which was about 200 yuan, which was a luxury purchase. These three items were also branded. A watch was preferably a Shanghai brand, a sewing machine was a butterfly brand and a bicycle was a permanent brand. In the 1990s, the four major items for a wedding became a refrigerator, a washing machine, a tape recorder and a television, with a total value of almost 3,000 yuan. https://www(dot)gdjlwl(dot)com/peisong_278861
In the changes in China's monuments over the years, we can draw a conclusion. From the initial pair of underwear to the present ring, this is a change from high to low use value. Before the 1980s, people still focused on meeting daily life needs, such as a bed, tables, chairs and cabinets. In the 1990s, after the material level gradually improved, people began to pay attention to the improvement of the quality of life. Nowadays, people use a small ring as a wedding memorial. Compared with the wedding memorials before the 90s, the ring has almost no use value in daily life. On the contrary, its artistic value and commemorative value are higher than its use value.
One conclusion can be drawn from the changes in Chinese souvenirs over the years. It is a change from a pair of pants in the beginning to a ring in the present day, a change from high to low use value. Before the 1980s, people still focused on meeting their daily needs, such as a bed, table, chair and cupboard. In the 1990s, when material standards gradually improved, people began to focus on improving the quality of life. Nowadays, people use a small ring as a wedding memento. In contrast to pre-1990s wedding tokens, the ring has almost no use in everyday life; instead, it has more artistic and commemorative value than its use.
