In ancient times, women's marriages were mostly arranged by their parents or matchmakers, and women's opinions were often ignored. However, in modern times, women have more autonomy in choosing their marriages, and many women prioritize their own feelings and values.
The marriage concept of ancient women was deeply influenced by Confucianism, which believed that women should bear children for their husbands, serve their husbands and families. This concept has led to many women being unable to choose their own partners and lacking self-worth and self-fulfillment in marriage.
However, there are also some women who can withstand the pressure and choose the person they love or reject unsuitable marriages.
With the progress of modern society, women's views on marriage have undergone significant changes. Women have started to pay more attention to their own values and careers, becoming more selective in their choice of marriage.
Many women prefer partners who respect each other, promote equality, and grow together, rather than marrying solely for the purpose of procreation. At the same time, many women choose to remain single or marry later in life, placing greater emphasis on personal freedom and independence.
Overall, there are significant differences in the views on love and marriage between ancient and modern women, but both are based on the choices driven by their own values and self-realization.
Whether in ancient times or in the present, women should be respected and treated equally, having the right to independently choose their own marriage.
The greatest difference between ancient and modern concepts of love lies in their emphasis on different aspects. Ancient society focused on the outcome, as marriages were often arranged based on the matchmaker's words, and divorce was rare.
On the other hand, modern people prioritize the process, engaging in free love and marriages, which ironically increases the likelihood of divorce.
Among spouses celebrating their diamond, gold, or silver anniversaries, a common characteristic is mutual respect.
Modern life is hectic and leaves little room for sentimentality and romance. Society operates like a big wheel, with everyone seeking progress and efficiency in everything they do. Everything, including love, is scheduled and regulated, leading to a disciplined yet standardized life.
Modern individuals harbor doubts about love, just as they doubt everything around them. While material conditions have improved and freedom has increased compared to the past, individuals have become fragile and prone to suspicion. As society's structure has grown more complex, so have human relationships, given that humans are adaptable beings by nature.
Why is it so captivating? I can't understand. Even if I combine all my brain cells and meditate for a trillion years, I still can't comprehend why you're so captivating.
You're like a masterpiece created by the Creator, even the gods would be enchanted by you. You are the darkness and also the only glimmer of dawn within the darkness, guiding me towards the path ahead.
You are the driving force that keeps me going. Thank you, my destined wife, Jin Xia.
In both modern and ancient views of love, in any relationship, as long as both parties understand the importance of compromising and taking turns to yield, they won't drift apart.
There are no naturally perfect matches in this world, it's just that one person knows how to be tolerant and accommodating, while the other knows when to stop. Perhaps the best kind of love is when I make your heart flutter, and you make me feel secure: you understand my grievances, and I empathize with your hardships.
It doesn't require being online 24/7, nor does it rely on deliberate and frequent conversations to maintain the relationship. It's simply hoping that when the other person is busy, they're dedicated and hardworking, and when they have free time, they immediately think of each other.
I hope it's a mutual longing for each other, so that the days can be better, longer-lasting, and filled with happiness and fulfillment.
Ancient times: The expectations placed on women were high, emphasizing the three obediences and four virtues. Ordinary women were treated like commodities, being bought and sold in blind marriages.
Even renowned and talented poets like Li Qingzhao had to endure imprisonment after divorcing her second husband. Even if the husband was a scoundrel, she had to bear the consequences.
(In fact, at this point, it's astonishing to realize how similar ancient people and modern people are. It's true that making poor choices in partners can really make one suffer.) The traditional chastity arches in ancient times only served to restrict women, while men were free to seek pleasure without much criticism.
Modern times: There are more individuals who engage in free love, but when it comes to marriage, there may still be compromises. However, overall, individuals have more autonomy.
At least, if you don't want to get married, you have the choice not to. However, society often struggles to accept this. Nevertheless, in our rural areas, there are already cases where people can choose not to get married or not have children, and their parents can accept it.
Perhaps the future will be better. I hope that everyone can achieve their desires, and that the life you lead is the life you truly want.
In ancient times, love was more restricted, and individuals had limited freedom in choosing their partners. Marriages were rarely based on personal choices. The emphasis was on social status and the will of parents and matchmakers.
Due to these factors, many lovers were unable to be together. In modern times, romantic relationships are more free, and individuals have the autonomy to make their own choices. Moreover, men and women are in equal relationships, without any notion of male superiority or female subservience.
Love that is characterized by freedom and equality is the foundation of a happy relationship.
