Marriage Infiltrated by Ritual in The Book of Songs

The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems in China and the treasure of ancient Chinese culture. In this great literary work, we can see many descriptions about marriage, and these descriptions are often permeated with strong etiquette. The specific explanation is as follows:

From the wedding poems in The Book of Songs, we can find that the wedding ceremony at that time was very grand and complicated. The bride and groom need to go through a series of etiquette procedures, such as marriage, meeting the bride and drinking. These procedures are designed to reflect the sanctity and seriousness of marriage. These etiquette procedures not only reflected the social hierarchy at that time, but also reflected the respect and attention to marriage.

2. From the love poems in The Book of Songs, we can find that the concept of marriage and love at that time was deeply influenced by the etiquette system. In The Book of Songs, many poems express their love for men in the tone of women, and these feelings are often carried out under the framework of etiquette. For example, "My Fair Lady" and "A Gentleman in a Official Lodge" express women's deep love for men.

3. From the divorce poems in The Book of Songs, we can find that the concept of divorce at that time was also deeply influenced by the etiquette system. In the Book of Songs, many poems express their dissatisfaction with women in the tone of a man, and these feelings are often carried out under the framework of etiquette. For example, among Feng Wei's Shuo people, Shuo people's clothes and costumes show men's dissatisfaction with women.

Marriage related information

Marriage is a long-term and stable partnership between two people based on love, mutual respect and understanding through legal means. Marriage is not only a matter for two people, but also a combination of two families, involving not only emotions, but also responsibilities and obligations.

2. There are various forms of marriage, including traditional arranged marriage, free love marriage and same-sex marriage. No matter what form it takes, it needs the sincerity and efforts of both sides to last for a long time. In marriage, both husband and wife need to face life challenges together, including economic pressure, children's education, family conflicts and so on. These problems need to be solved by both husband and wife, and they can't pass the buck unilaterally.

3. The legal protection of marriage is also an important part. China's marriage law stipulates that both men and women marry voluntarily and shall not interfere with others' freedom of marriage. It is forbidden to arrange, buy and sell marriages and other acts that infringe on the autonomy of marriage. At the same time, the Marriage Law also stipulates the conditions and procedures for divorce, which ensures the legitimacy and stability of marriage.
