“Thousand Gold” (千金 / qiān jīn) is a traditional Chinese expression used to describe a daughter as deeply precious and treasured, not as something related to dowry or money. Although it literally means “a thousand pieces of gold,” the phrase symbolises love, value, and irreplaceable importance within the family . It reflects the idea that daughters bring warmth, pride, and emotional richness to family life. When used for several daughters, phrases like “Four Thousand Gold” celebrate each daughter as a precious part of the family.
