What's the difference between the ancient concept of marriage and love and the modern one?

I think the ancient concept of marriage and love is still very different from the modern one. In ancient times, marriage was for marriage, while in ancient times, marriage was for three wives and four concubines, in order to continue future generations. But in modern times, marriage is for loyalty, not because of any external conditions, but because of love. I think this is the difference between ancient and modern views on marriage and love.

Ancient women had no status. Ancient women were just accessories of men. They have no ego at all and can't do anything they want. It is even more impossible to pursue your own love. Ancient marriage emphasized the life of parents and the words of matchmakers. Your future husband may be someone you have never met. You don't know his appearance, let alone his personality, but you still have to listen to your family, because. After marriage, I must obey my husband completely. At that time, many women were tools for giving birth to children. There may be some exceptions, but there were too few. Most women have tragic endings.

Now we can choose our own love and marriage. We don't have to blindly obey our parents' orders, but we can also get men's respect. Nowadays, marriage is because of love. Women are no longer just tools for fertility, and they can be treated equally in life. And our modern marriage will not be like the ancient three wives and four concubines. Modern marriage emphasizes monogamy. Since you have chosen, you can't give up easily. So I think the ancient concept of marriage and love is quite different from the modern one.

I think this is also a manifestation of the continuous progress of our human civilization. With the continuous development of society, our ideas are constantly changing. I think whether a society is progressing depends not only on the development of science and technology, but also on the progress of spiritual civilization, which is the most important and can best reflect the core values of mankind.
