Are Shantou girls very conservative?

The low divorce rate in Shantou is, in the final analysis, due to the shackles of traditional culture. The specific reasons are as follows:

1, Shantou women don't want to marry foreign men, their views on marriage and love are conservative, and Chaoshan women are very patient. Dare not violate the tradition in marriage and love, such as premarital sex, infidelity, divorce, unmarried, infertility and so on.

2, Shantou male chauvinism, love face, have a strong sense of professionalism and family responsibility. Three wives and four concubines can have illegitimate children; Divorce will be considered "unfair" and "incompetent" and unable to settle down at home.

3. The phenomenon of son preference in Shantou is serious. Most families have many children. Chaoshan parents have a strong sense of family responsibility. Divorce means personal liberation, but more means the pain of the next generation. Therefore, for the sake of the next generation, Chaoshan parents refused to divorce from the bottom of their hearts.

4. The clan concept is very strong. Chaoshan people think that divorce is shameful and will be widely criticized by public opinion, which will damage the reputation of in-laws, parents and families.

5. Chaoshan marriage believes in eight characters, and the two sides get along well. Wang Ding has a prosperous population, but he also believes that divorce will break the wealth for the man.

6. Chaoshan families highly recognize the family model of "the man is the master and the woman is the master". Chaoshan women adhere to traditional cultural concepts, and traditional ethical concepts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They are educated, loyal, hardworking, filial to their parents, educating their children, serving their husbands and working hard. Chaoshan men dare to fight hard in their careers, and they will also strive to create conditions for their families, and their thoughts are relatively mature and stable. Such complementary roles make the family more harmonious.
