The significance of the ancient Chinese tradition of "marrying a daughter from a high family and marrying a woman from a low family".

"Marrying a daughter from a high family and marrying a woman from a low family" is an ancient Chinese marriage tradition. The two are mutually supportive, the daughter of the low gate married to the high gate, the high gate family married the daughter-in-law of the low gate, the high gate and the low gate each get what they want.

Why do you want to marry your daughter to a high family? Because in addition to giving their daughters a superior living environment, the high family can also bring help to the low family, may change the status quo of the "low family". In a patriarchal society, the low status of a woman's mother's family is no shame, marrying into a high family dependent on men will not be stigmatized. On the contrary, the daughter married into the high school will be praised for teaching her daughter well, indicating that the family style is good, is a rare honor, and will help the family development.

A woman who marries into a high family is also conducive to family unity. Although it is said that "married out of the daughter splashed out of the water", but the daughter of her family's feelings are impossible to cut off, under the ability to naturally return to the family. It is not the elder brother, the second brother, the third brother, but the whole family, which is a whole in the eyes of the married woman. Influenced by the influence of her high-born in-laws and environmental changes, the bridegroom's eyes are more open and she understands that the unity of all the brothers of her mother's family is the only way for her to be stable in her mother-in-law's family, so she will try to promote the unity of her mother's family in her return. Family honesty and integrity, friendship and mutual assistance and other good qualities are therefore promoted, so naturally conducive to the unity and prosperity of the family.

? If the woman's mother's family conditions are good, the in-laws need to take care of the mother's family, the woman's family voice is big, the same family has a daughter-in-law surnamed Zhang, a daughter-in-law surnamed Li, it is difficult to unify the views. If the woman is out of the house, she is dependent on her husband's family, and the man dominates the family. The family deliberations because the decision makers are growing up with the same name brothers, each other's interests are generally the same, even if there is a disadvantage of the place, will not be too concerned about, easy to unite the unity.

? The woman of the low family married into the high family, living conditions higher than before, will produce a sense of happiness, satisfaction and sense of belonging, so willing to obey the rules of the in-laws in order to touch into the high family, which is also conducive to family unity and harmony.

? In ancient societies, the reason for unity and harmony among family brothers is certainly not the only one, but it is a very important one.

? Into the modern era, the social status of women is constantly improving, and the family voice is getting higher and higher. In China, the population ratio of female low male high caused by the marriage easy to marry difficult to further improve the status of women's families, women dominated the family became the mainstream. When rural families deal with matters such as property distribution, inheritance and support for the elderly, it is not uncommon for conflicts to arise and even for the family to become hostile, and this is not unrelated to female-dominated families. The traditional practice of "marrying a woman at a high level and marrying a woman at a low level" can more or less alleviate this situation, as we can see from the examples of marriage and family relations around us.

? The basis of the functioning of "marrying a woman from a high family, marrying a woman from a low family" is the law that man dominance is better than woman dominance. The fact is that the "man-led is better than the woman-led" is suspected of sexism, in fact, not, "women's emotional than rational, men's rationality is greater than emotional" is recognized, so the decision-making leadership and other needs of the work of rationality naturally suited to men to do this is not a discrimination this is the sex of the This is not discrimination, it is gender division of labor. Don't take Wu Zetian, Sa Beil and rebuttal, count how many kings, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, generals, marshals **** around the world, how many women only account for?

? As Chinese, we have a glorious past and we are proud of our ancestors for their wisdom. They left us countless valuable wealth, but carefully counted, we really do not utilize much, and some were taken by others to enjoy, we have to wake up ah!
