The bride price in the county town rose to 3 90,009 plus houses and cars, and whether to marry or not
The bride price in the county has risen wildly: three 90,009 plus houses and cars, where should young people go?
In ancient Chinese traditions, the bride price is a symbol of marriage, carrying the blessings and expectations of both families. However, with the changes of the times and the development of the economy, this traditional practice has gradually evolved into a heavy economic burden in some areas. Recently, a news about the amount of bride price in a county soaring to "three 90,000 9" plus house and car has aroused heated discussions in the society. Such a bride price requirement not only puts pressure on many young people and their families, but also triggers a deep reflection on the values of marriage and social mores.
1. The soaring amount of bride price: the collision of tradition and reality.
As part of traditional Chinese wedding customs, the bride price originally represented the blessings of both families and the support of the couple. However, in some counties, the amount of the bride price has been rising, and it has far exceeded the ability of ordinary families. According to reports, the bride price** in the county is as high as 297,000 yuan, plus a house and a car. Such a request not only discourages many young people, but also puts many families under a heavy financial burden.
2. Marriage and love choices under economic pressure.
Faced with such a high bride price demand, many young people and families are in a difficult situation. On the one hand, they want to be able to follow traditional customs and give each other enough respect and blessings. On the other hand, they cannot withstand such tremendous economic pressure. This contradiction makes many people hesitate to choose marriage and love, and even have to give up the originally beautiful relationship.
3. The pluralistic voices of society.
Regarding the phenomenon of soaring bride price, all sectors of society expressed different views. Some people believe that the amount of bride price should be determined according to the economic conditions and actual conditions of both families, rather than blindly comparing and following trends. They called on young people to establish a correct concept of marriage and love, and attach importance to the meaning and value of marriage itself, rather than excessively pursuing material conditions.
At the same time, there are some people who hold a different view. They believe that the bride price, as a traditional custom, should be respected and upheld. The high bride price requirement reflects the improvement of local economic conditions and social progress, as well as the expectations and blessings of parents for the newlyweds. They believe that as long as the two families can reach a consensus and compromise, the amount of the bride price should not be a factor hindering the marriage.
Fourth, the solution: advocate the concept of rational marriage and love.
In the face of the soaring bride price, we need to find solutions from multiple aspects. First of all, social organizations should strengthen the supervision and guidance of the marriage and love market, and advocate rational marriage and love concepts and behavioral norms. Through the formulation of relevant laws, regulations and policy measures, limit the reasonable scope of the bride price amount, and prevent the occurrence of excessive comparison and waste.
Second, families and schools should strengthen the education and guidance of young people. Parents should establish correct concepts and values of marriage and love, and guide their children to look at marriage and bride price rationally; Schools should also carry out relevant courses and activities to help students establish a correct concept of marriage and love and outlook on life.
Finally, young people themselves should be self-reflective and awakened. They should look at the issue of marriage and bride price rationally, and should not blindly pursue material conditions and ignore the meaning and value of marriage itself. At the same time, they should also learn to think and make decisions independently, and make reasonable choices according to their actual situation and needs.
V. Conclusion. As a part of traditional Chinese wedding customs, bride price carries rich cultural connotations and social significance. However, in the context of economic development and social change, we need to re-examine and adjust this traditional practice. By advocating the concept of rational marriage and love, strengthening supervision and guidance, strengthening education and guidance, we can jointly promote the healthy development of the marriage market and the improvement of social atmosphere. Let's work together to create a better environment for young people to marry and love!
