Do ancient Chinese people really have to get married?

.

True

.

If a man is 30, a woman is 20 and unmarried,

The authorities will call him to "adjust attitude."

And families are charged a "singles tax."

When a man goes to the civil service exam, he will be deducted from the "ungrateful" base score.

Female, the authorities will provide a partner.

.

The marriage of Chinese men and women in ancient times required "three books and six ceremonies" to be considered exhaustive.

.

1. Three books (severely) are 3 archives that provide evidence of the relationship of the two families:

• Engagement book

• Dowry list book

• Bridal acceptance book

2. Six ceremonies

1. Request

2. Requesting a date of birth

3. Horoscope risk

4. Dowry delivery

5. Requesting a guard

6. Bridal reception

.

The dowry of engagement is indispensable.

.

In the Zhou Dynasty era (circa 1046-256 BC), the dowry of engagement that required a ceremony was "goose."

Which in Chinese medicine is considered excellent food.

The goose is a fierce and agile animal. The groom must catch a live goose by himself to prove to the bride that he is physically strong enough to take care of the family.

In addition, the goose is an important symbol of "loyalty," as the goose is an animal that will always migrate seasonally straight and has a single partner for life, conveying honesty and a lasting marriage.

.

Han Dynasty (period 202 BC-AD 9 and AD 25-210)

A man must have his own house (the whole Sattong Dock should be enough)

.

Song Dynasty (c.960-1279)

Men must have knowledge, education, the better their rank.

.

Ming Dynasty (c.1368-1644)

Mens must have property, money and store business.

.

... Read moreในบทความนี้พูดถึงประเพณีแต่งงานของคนจีนโบราณที่มีความละเอียดและซับซ้อน เริ่มตั้งแต่การใช้ "สามหนังสือ" ที่เป็นเอกสารหลักยืนยันความสัมพันธ์และความถูกต้องทางครอบครัว ไปจนถึง "หกพิธี" ซึ่งเป็นขั้นตอนสำคัญในกระบวนการแต่งงานที่ครอบคลุมตั้งแต่การสู่ขอจนถึงพิธีรับเจ้าสาว จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้ศึกษาวัฒนธรรมจีนกับเพื่อนคนจีน ทราบว่าการยึดมั่นตามประเพณีนี้ทำให้ครอบครัวมีความเข้มแข็งและสืบทอดต่อกันมารุ่นต่อรุ่น โดยเฉพาะในสังคมจีนดั้งเดิมที่ยึดถือความผูกพันของตระกูลเป็นหลัก ชายหนุ่มต้องพิสูจน์ความสามารถและความรับผิดชอบ เช่น การจับห่านด้วยตนเองในยุคราชวงศ์โจว ไม่ใช่แค่เป็นเรื่องพิธีการ แต่เป็นสัญลักษณ์แสดงถึงการรับผิดชอบและความซื่อสัตย์ในชีวิตคู่ นอกจากนี้แต่ละยุคราชวงศ์ยังแตกต่างกันในข้อกำหนดของชายหนุ่ม เช่น ต้องมีบ้านในยุคราชวงศ์ฮั่น ต้องมีภูมิความรู้และตำแหน่งดีในยุคราชวงศ์ซ่ง และต้องมีทรัพย์สินเงินทองในยุคราชวงศ์หมิง ซึ่งสะท้อนให้เห็นว่าการแต่งงานไม่ได้เป็นเพียงเรื่องส่วนตัว แต่ยังเกี่ยวพันกับสถานะและความมั่นคงของครอบครัวในสังคม ในยุคปัจจุบัน แม้หลายสถานที่จะเปลี่ยนแปลงวิถีชีวิตไป แต่บางครอบครัวชาวจีนยังคงยึดถือธรรมเนียมเหล่านี้หรือปรับใช้ในรูปแบบใหม่ เพื่อคงความเชื่อมโยงกับอดีตและเสริมสร้างความมั่นคงในครอบครัว ส่วนเรื่อง "ภาษีคนโสด" หรือ "การปรับทัศนคติ" นั้น สะท้อนให้เห็นถึงวิธีการที่สังคมจีนในอดีตใช้บังคับให้คนแต่งงานเพื่อสืบเผ่าพันธุ์และรักษาความมั่นคงทางสังคม ดังนั้นการเข้าใจประเพณีแต่งงานจีนโบราณจึงไม่ใช่แค่การรู้ถึงพิธีกรรมเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นการเข้าใจถึงวัฒนธรรม ความเชื่อ และค่านิยมที่ฝังรากลึกในสังคมจีน ซึ่งยังคงมีอิทธิพลมาถึงปัจจุบัน
