How to break the ancient singles crisis ?

In ancient times, there was human trafficking, which could be solved with money, so as long as you make money, there will be no singles crisis.

In ancient times, there was a rule that if you don't get married, you must pay a fine and go to jail, so that there will be no singles.

Why, does someone stipulate that you can't take a wife?

I came up with this blind date activity of throwing hydrangeas. Let God decide the marriage between the two people.

They encouraged women to marry, and those who married were given certain rewards.

The child was engaged before he was born, and once it was made, it could not be dissolved, and the parents of both parties had to carry it out.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2015, the total population of Chinese mainland was 137462 million, with a male population of 704.14 million and a female population of 670.48 million, with a sex ratio of 100 females and a sex ratio of birth. The difference between the male and female populations is 33.66 million, which means that about 30 million male populations will face the situation of beating singles, and the risk of China's "singles crisis" is still serious.

The imbalance in the sex ratio between men and women will lead to an increase in early marriage, betrothal, and marriage sales, leading to an increase in social phenomena such as marital dislocation, intergenerational contention, extramarital affairs, third-party involvement, out-of-wedlock births, homosexuality, disease, and sex crimes, and endangering social and public safety.

So, how did the singles crisis come about?

A strong preference for boys, especially in rural areas, the concept of pursuing a boy has always existed, coupled with the development of miniaturized and modern ultrasonic detection technology, a small number of criminals have found "business opportunities" and illegally used ultrasound and other technical means to provide services to identify the sex of the fetus in the womb, which makes many families who want to have boys take risks and choose such illegal institutions to allow pregnant women to have abortions. These two reasons have led to the high degree of imbalance in the sex ratio of China's births, which lasts for a long time and affects a large population.

I believe everyone understands that the current ratio of men and women is out of balance, according to statistics, on average, one out of every three men cannot find a partner. In fact, the status of men and women is relatively equal now, looking back at the feudal era when men were superior to women, polygamy was common, but why haven't I heard that there was a serious problem of singles in ancient times?

1. Lowering the age of marriage for girls.

I believe many people have learned that the Chinese imperial court stipulated that girls must be married in their teens, and Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty once issued a relevant decree: "If a woman is over fifteen to thirty and does not marry, five counts." That is, a woman between the ages of fifteen and thirty who is not yet married pays five times the poll tax.

Although this practice is not conducive to the eugenics advocated now, it has to be said that it can indeed reduce the number of single people to a certain extent.

2. Limit the number of wives that the rich can marry.

In feudal society, the number of women is not as good as that of men, and some rich people even marry the main house and accept several concubines, which is very unfavorable to people from poor families, so there are relevant laws and regulations, such as the Han Dynasty's "Qing Dafu one wife and two concubines, Shi one wife and one concubine, Shu people one husband and one wife".

If the above-mentioned people want to have more concubines, then they can only make military merits, because "if you succeed and receive the title, you have to prepare eight concubines". And ordinary people who have no money and no status, it is very rare to want to take a concubine, only men who are over 40 years old and have not given birth to a son, in order to continue the incense, can accept 1 concubine.

3. Encourage widows to remarry.

At first glance, this does not seem to be in line with ancient Chinese etiquette. But the ancients were not so rigid, and many times benevolence, righteousness and morality also gave way to reality. Compared with a single person who can't marry a wife, there seems to be nothing unreasonable about a widow remarrying.

Fourth, the imperial court distribution.

It may seem incredible, but it's true in history. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, many men were assigned to the frontier, and at this time, in order to maintain the stability of the frontier, the imperial court had to find a way to marry a bachelor, so where did these wives come from? It is usually the wives of rebels and rebels, as well as women who have fled the famine.

The laws of the Ming and Qing dynasties also often sent the wives and daughters of prisoners to the frontiers, and these poor women were often forcibly sent to some single soldiers as wives after exile, and the imperial court would also subsidize some of the cost of marriage.

When a woman reaches a certain age, she is forced to marry and is matched by the government. It will also support widows to remarry and men to remarry. The main thing is to restrict the rich and noble from marrying concubines.

I think that the ancient solution to the problem of singles was that if you were rich, you could go to the Qinglou, and if you didn't have money, you could only live alone for the rest of your life.

Generally, there are several methods, the first is to persuade the widow to bid again, and once the government will be the matchmaker and help the bachelor matchmaker. There is also a legal stipulation that girls must marry when they reach the age, and it is a crime not to marry.

In ancient times, widows were generally encouraged to remarry, or large families were encouraged, and even the elderly maids and maids in the palace went out to marry, which also solved the problem of difficulty in marrying a single person, and also reduced the personnel expenses in the palace.
