Types of marriage refer to the ways and means adopted by a man and a woman in a series of processes from choosing a spouse to marrying into a marriage, which include many institutions, local customs, ethical norms and aesthetic orientations. China has a long history and a large population, and there are many different forms of folk marriages, so many that it is difficult to categorize them. It has been summarized that by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were as many as 15 forms of civil marriage in China. Sheng Yi in his "Chinese Marriage Culture" will be divided into seven categories: blood marriage, clan marriage, plunder, property, compensation, faith and other categories. As society develops, old types of marriage are disappearing and new ones can emerge. In recent years, Wang Xiaobo's wife, Li Yinhe, has been calling for legislation for homosexuality, authorizing homosexual marriages, and other issues. Therefore, in the near future, a new form of marriage may appear in China: the same-sex type. Of course, it is not a traditional type of marriage in China, so it is not included in our explanation. In addition, blood marriage, predatory marriage, clan marriage and other ancient forms of marriage are not repeated here because they have already been mentioned above.
