In ancient times, would the royal family marry the man, and the woman would pick up the marriage

I'm not a history major, so I can only ask this question from the level of a history buff. The marriage of the ancient royal family depends on the specific dynasty, as well as a series of issues such as the identity of the parties to the marriage. Generally speaking, if both parties are equal or the woman's status is more noble than that of the man, the man should send someone or personally go to the woman's house to greet the family; If the woman's status is lower than that of the man, it depends on the situation, generally speaking, the woman's family sends the daughter to the man's house, which can refer to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The case of the mother of the queen Wang. The general process is roughly the same as that of civilians, the families of both parties discuss the wedding or entrust a matchmaker to go to the woman's house to inquire, and after the negotiation is completed, the token is exchanged, the date and bride price are agreed.

Wait. On the appointed date, the woman's family sends a guard to send the woman to the man's house, and in addition to marrying the woman, there are generally gold and silver bride price, servants, guards, and the like; The man has the right to make demands on the woman's dowry, such as Qin Mugong.

I once asked for Baili Xi.

At the wedding scene, in addition to the parties to the marriage, other nobles will also be invited to participate. He Bi Xiang has a more detailed description of this. Regarding the marriage customs of ancient Chinese nobles, especially the marriage customs of Zhou, I recommend Mr. Li Shan's "Ageless Love in the Book of Songs", you can go to station b to search for yourself.

In ancient royal marriages, whether the man needed to go to the woman's house to pick up the relatives depended on the specific dynasty and the identity of the parties to the marriage.

In some eras, such as the Han Dynasty, if the woman's status was higher than that of the man, such as if a royal woman married the emperor, then the emperor did not need to go to the woman's house to pick up the relatives in person, but the woman's family sent the daughter to the man's house. This can be referenced from the case of Empress Wang, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In other dynasties, such as the Ming Dynasty, the man generally needed to go to the woman's house to pick up his relatives, regardless of the status of the married parties.

These are just the general conditions of the ancient royal family, and the actual marriage customs may vary depending on many factors such as dynasty, region, identity, and family power. Therefore, it is advisable to consult relevant historical sources for accurate information on marriage customs in specific historical periods.

Ancient royal families, both Chinese and foreign, loved inbreeding, mainly because they were aware of the genetic harm of inbreeding, and they didn't want to fall into the fields of outsiders - Douwu - did not want wealth to fall into other portals.

Recently, I watched the British drama "Victoria", she married her cousin Albert and had nine children, and the nine children were married to European royalty, causing the entire European royal family to fall into a hemophilia nightmare. The poor health of the members of the royal family was also one of the factors in the decline of European royalty.

For the sake of pure blood, the European royal family was weakened in the end.

Ancient Chinese royalty was no better. Although since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it has been emphasized that the same clan is not married from the perspective of human ethics. But in order to consolidate their position and win over the powerful, the aristocratic circle always loves to kiss each other.

There is a Han generation, Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, is forced to marry his niece Zhang Yan, Han Wuzang Gillian is known to later generations, in order to win the support of Aunt Guantao, Liu Che married his cousin Chen Gillian. Emperor Cheng of Han married his cousin Empress Xu ......

In the Qing Dynasty, the early Ming system stipulated that aunts and uncles did not intermarry, but Kangxi married his uncle's daughter Tong Jiashi as the queen, and when he arrived in Yongzheng, he couldn't help but marry his cousins and sisters, and the royal family at the end of the Qing Dynasty was even less likely to choose a mate, resulting in a scarcity of heirs and a lack of successors.

Although the royal family and nobles are pure in blood, they occupy the upper class position in the group. However, the marriage of close relatives has brought about genetic consequences, and relatives are still fighting each other. In the European scuffle, cousins and brothers still won't give in, and the Chinese emperors of all dynasties didn't think about blood relatives.
