What does getting married mean?

Marriage refers to marriage, which means that two people are always closely connected, not separated or loose.

1, historical and cultural background

The marriage custom of tying the knot originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. At that time, there was a Yin Gong Gallery in Jinyang City, and passers-by would see a tree with similar shape on the left and right sides of a branch. According to legend, they grew up together by accident. This custom spread all over China and became a classic beauty talk in ancient traditional culture.

2. Meaning in literary works

Marriage is also described in many literary works, and its significance is closely related to antiquity and mystery. In A Dream of Red Mansions, how many romantic figures get together and leave based on love are represented by getting married. In particular, the significance of "connecting details" also shows that love itself can be a spiritual food to resist all difficulties and obstacles.

3. Comparison of viewpoints

Although marriage plays an important role in China traditional culture and China society, modern people have different views on this kind of marriage. Some people think that marriage should be based on mutual respect, trust and love, rather than dividing life.

Because being too close is like "connecting roots with leaves", once something goes wrong, both sides will suffer together. However, there are still many people who think that "Lian Li Zhi" represents the harmony of two people's hearts and emotions, and has beautiful meanings such as releasing oneself and taking responsibility.

4. The significance of cultural heritage

The significance of tying the knot is not only reflected in the marriage level, but also has a wide range of cultural connotations. For example, in Chinese painting, knots are often the theme of patterns. They are intertwined, with slender branches and different shapes, implying love, friendship, affection and harmony. Moreover, it has great application space in festivals and architectural arts, and can spread China's outstanding cultural heritage.

5. Conclusion

To sum up, tying the knot not only has a long history, but also is endowed with rich cultural connotations. Although this kind of marriage is unnecessary in the eyes of modern people, the mode of marriage is still an important part of China's traditional culture.
