In this case, you can get married so early in ancient times, and there should be no leftover men and women, right? Actually, it's not. What can and must be decided are two concepts. I believe that China's population wouldn't have developed so fast without a combination of hard and soft measures in a dynasty. First of all, what are the tough measures to promote population development in each dynasty? Name several representative dynasties.
In order to get revenge, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, implemented the policy of "fifteen years of reunion and ten years of lessons". If a man is over 20 years old and a woman is over 17 years old, his parents will be punished. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was stipulated that if a woman reached marriageable age and did not get married in time, not only the individual but also her family would go to jail together. In the Song Dynasty, it was recorded in the Biography of Zhou Lang that "women don't marry at fifteen, and their families sit on them". Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty stipulated that "unmarried women over the age of 15 to 30 are counted as five". The so-called "five figures" is five times the poll tax. When the poll tax was 120 yuan, it was equivalent to 600 yuan, excluding other taxes. At that time, the monthly salary of local officials was only a few hundred dollars, which was a great burden for civilians. They are really married, afraid and reluctant to leave (covering their faces); During the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, it was recorded in the Book of Jin that Sima Yan issued an imperial edict in the winter and October of Taishi nine years: "A woman who is seventeen years old and her parents don't marry should marry a big official." In other words, when a woman reaches the age of marriage, her parents can't marry her, so it can be said that it is very mandatory for a local governor to marry her instead of her parents. Now many people say that it is possible to put her boyfriend/girlfriend in the Jin Dynasty, but think about it. In addition to their usual duties, local officials have to take care of your marriage, and the task is still big, so they can only draw lots. Some people say that in case of being assigned. I can only say: it doesn't exist, it's impossible in this life (menstrual laughter). Do you know that the rich second generation still needs local officials to worry about whether they are married or not? (menstrual smile) it's good not to be assigned to the disabled!
Of course, this country also has a romantic side in dealing with marriage issues. As early as the Zhou dynasty, there was a "Mid-Autumn Festival" held to facilitate men and women to meet and get to know each other, which is what we call a blind date meeting in modern times. At this time, elopement at first sight is even allowed (without parents' orders and matchmakers' words), because saints believe that February is the most energetic period in spring and should follow the laws of the world. It's time for everything to recover again ... "(covering your face), ahem, get to the point. In fact, our traditional Lantern Festival can also be said to be a fraternity arranged by the state. Women are not allowed to go out freely on weekdays, which can be said to be "three steps out of the boudoir" However, during the Lantern Festival, unmarried men and women are allowed to go out to meet men and look for their sweetheart through lanterns. According to statistics, in a dim environment, people's face value will increase, greatly enhancing each other's goodwill, and thus moving towards success! There is a poem that says, "People look for him thousands of times, and suddenly look back, and that person is under the dim light", which describes this Lantern Festival.
Another famous blind date is Shangsi Festival, commonly known as "March 3rd". According to legend, March 3rd is the birthday of the Yellow Emperor. In the pre-Qin period, this day has become a large-scale folk festival. The first paragraph of Bai Pu's zaju "Up the Wall at once" reads: "Today is the eighth day of March, the last festival. Luoyang Wang Nv, enjoy the whole city. " The implication is that all the beautiful women who are usually locked in the boudoir have to go out on Shangsi Festival and can enjoy hunting! On this day, beautiful women and young men living in boudoir will go out for an outing, choose a place with a river, play and enjoy flowers. Du Fu's sentence, "March 3rd is sunny, and there are many beauties by Chang 'an Waterfront", has brought its swaying amorous feelings to a high level. At this time, men will sit on both sides of the upstream meander and put glasses. Whoever stops in front of the glasses will have to pick up the glasses. If the woman is interested, she will drink a glass of wine. They love each other, so she should go to Bai (shyly). This is the "meandering water flow".
Of course, it doesn't mean that they go home hand in hand as soon as they hit it off. Usually at this time, I will ask my friends around me to help me introduce myself first and say that this girl has a crush on you! At this time, it is very important to choose a wingman. If the other party responds and has the same will, then leave each other's addresses, go home and tell my mother that I have a crush on someone, and then my parents will be very happy. Finally, they need not be punished. Hurry up and marry the right person according to the three six rites. Happy ending!
To sum up, these soft and hard measures have indeed solved the single problem to some extent. In the ancient cold weapon era and farming era, manpower was everything, and the country was heartbroken for the stable population growth rate.
