In ancient times, people paid attention to marrying virtuous people. What kind of woman is most likely to be a wife?

In ancient times, orthodoxy was very important, and everyone who inherited the family business had to leave. Although there are three wives and four concubines, the status of the wife (big room) is incomparable to other wives and concubines.

Only the wife is being married by the Ming media.

In ancient times, the hierarchical concept of good birth was very heavy, and the society was very particular about birth. The so-called scholars, peasants and industry and commerce all represent different classes. The daughters of prostitutes and families engaged in low-level industries are not of normal origin, so these people have no chance to be wives.

Therefore, to be a married wife, one must have a good family, preferably a scholar farmer. If he is lowly or a slave, there is basically no chance.

Why is Du Shiniang angry? That's because he is a mean person. Even if he is rich, the Li family can't let him be a wife. He doesn't even have the courage to go home to see his parents.

Even if the family is good, we should pay attention to the right match. You can not consider marrying concubines. A big family can get married, buy a small family, or even buy a maid, but as a wife, we must pay attention to the right match.

Family background, social status, social influence, industry ... many things are exquisite, and equivalence is the most critical.

A woman who meets such conditions will become a wife's choice.

Because of this, there are many young marriages. Both parents have similar tastes and status, so they will enter into a young marriage at a very young age in order to suit each other.

A virtuous wife is equivalent to the lintel and represents the family. Therefore, the moral requirements for a virtuous wife are higher.

In a big house, the wife is more like a leader and doesn't need to do anything specific. Management ability is more important. The husband is in charge of external affairs, and the wife needs to complete internal affairs. It is especially important for a husband to educate his son, especially his godson. No matter who gives birth to a child, it is up to the wife to take care of it.

Therefore, the wife's character and conduct are particularly critical. Gentle, self-effacing and self-effacing people are more suitable for wives, which is also the requirement of traditional culture for wives.
