Dowry and wedding often become opportunities for the rich to show off their family background, and extravagant activities encourage extravagance and waste. In marriage customs, there are many feudal superstitions, such as approving the date of birth in marriage to see if male and female animals are compatible. In the old days, "white horses are afraid of green cows, and once sheep and rats rest;" Golden roosters are afraid of jade dogs, and chickens and monkeys don't interact.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the new marriage law was implemented, and many past marriage customs, such as referring to belly marriage, early marriage, child bride, marrying relatives, accepting makeup and monogamy, disappeared.
