Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- In modern-day China, the country’s current law on marriage defines it as a “system” based on three things: first, the “free choice of partners”; second, “monogamy”; and third, the “equality between man and woman." Two people binding themselves through marriage requires the complete willingness. Watch the video to find out more about marriage in China.

How to get married in Ancient China.
Step 1: Invent time machine.
Step 2: Don't die.
3. Find a husband
It really hurts
LOL. Everything is invention. They always lie.
Nice video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Penichael Esteemed Preeminence (just google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for making contact with your own spirit guide minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got excellent results with it.
Ahhh I love learning about cultures that aren’t my own. I learn more from UA-cam than University
Faithtasticness nice.
I learn more in UA-cam than in school as well
Same😂😂😂
This is Manchu Wedding. 👨👩👧👦👨👩👧👦

Thanks. This guide will be really useful next time in in ancient China.
Lol
Yeah I'm going to ancient china soon, I wanted to be informed.
Redgoo2 I'm laughing so hard 😂
Scorpia Flueman no you're not. You're either joking or you don't get it and just wanna have something to "relate" -.-
TheBestLoli 101 chill lol everyone knows that the person isn’t going to ancient China
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you making videos like this about Chinese history and the like. They're really educational and helpful two people outside of Chinese Society who don't know much about it. Also, I love all your food videos.
Thank you!
Different Chinese dialects practice different marriage customs. North and South are very very different.
Surely you mean "ethnic groups"? A dialect is a language, so...
Chinese don't consider Catonese or Fujianese as a different ethnic group although they speak a very different language that is totally not intelligible with standard Chinese.
So true. There are like four languages being yelled across my house. Mandarin, English, Shanghai dialect, and si chuan dialect.
@@slimesisters9944 wow hectic
Han Chinese and Manchurian and more .
Ancient Chinese marriage customs were a lot more crazy than I originally thought but kind of expected it.
7:12 is that the match maker from mulan
Kimchieri I think so . I hope not
😂😂😂 lol I thought it was just me!
Kimchieri Lol at least we know Disney got that part pretty accurate
lollllllz
Kimchieri LoL so true
It's amazing how many of these are very similar to Indian wedding traditions. From 4:30 onwards literally every step is exactly the same as Indian weddings except for the letters maybe.
You forgot dowry
I love how you say no third party can be involved - someone needs to tell the parents (either side) lol. Thank you for making such a great video, you can see all the work that goes into it. Keep up the good work dude, you're awesome
I remember this Hong Kong drama called "Only You" where the main characters work in a wedding boutique and one of the episodes showed all the rituals of a traditional (1900s) chinese wedding.
This is surprisingly close to the evolution of the Hindu marriage customs as well. In the first pictograph, did the bide and groom have to be tied together by a cloth? Hindus still do this! The matching of birth dates, proposals, the matchmaker(it's the 'priest' pundit for us), the procession, the bride wearing red, the three days visit to the bride home after the wedding.....very awesome.
ikr
We are neighbor, haha
Anon Anon it could be the other way round too
India and China are similar in many ways... not many people know about this
Ye very similar..
Wow, your videos are sooo interesting and informative!! I love history and you give such depth of info! Thank you!😊
Gosh everything seemed so complicated! Loving your videos so far, I hope you get more subscribers!
So interesting! I'm mienh aka Yao in China and I can totally see where a lot of our marriage ceremonies and customs originated from. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for all the time and effort that you have put into this video! I enjoyed it so much :)
This was so informative
I like traditional Chinese costumes and wedding costumes very much.
It's really beautiful.....
Thank you for these videos. These really brighten me up alot and I hope you make alot of more videos 😊😊😊. Thank you!
What a Fantastic presentation!!!👑🏆🌹
Love the history lesson! More, please.
I love these types of videos. Keep it up! :)
Thanks!
I didn't know this was mikey's channel. Definitely thinking of subscribing!!
I learn so much from you... thanks
Love your videos!!!
Wow very interesting and informative. Thank you so much for making this video.
Great infos! Very intricate ceremony.
Very informative, thank you.
Congrats on 300k!!
wow ,so much to learn, thanks for sharing
That's interesting. I love learning different customs
absolute love your videos, also subscribed your foodie channel :P
Exactly what I needed that I didn't know I needed today
Thank you very much for the video, Chen. I think there should be some better pictures online that can be used :)
Too many steps for me to remember, might as well just show my Philistine nature and just ask "Wanna get married?" then move in together and let common law finalize it after 7 years.
Great video by the way!
That's too many steps just go to city hall and boom your married.
No need to wait 7 years besides that just waste the girls time.
Yes Mike, it was very interesting
Damn Mike. You doing your research huh? Sound like a research paper my class used to make me write.
Wow great video 👍
Thanks for this. Hopefully next is tell us about the ancient emperors of China 🇨🇳
Very interesting!
can u do the worse emperors in chinese history?
Emily Lu 3. Yu suk
2. Sum ting wong
1. Lau si foo
Oh! There was this asshole emperor that opposed interracial marriages with Persians and other foreigners, I forgot his name. I would think he would be on the list. (too lazy to google RN)
+Rebecca Johnson zhu yuan zhang?
ed gallagher Zhu yuan zhang is awesome. In my view， the worest one is 苻生.
@Hee Sing Sia when im reading these names i thought to myself "I don't recall these names, and they sounds fake..". Then i read it again oof..
First love your videos
Etiquettes mentioned in this video like matching horoscope, decide date of marriage, marriage card, presentation of wedding gifts, visiting brides home after marriage are still followed in India.very fascinating to see similarity in Indian and Chinese culture.love from India❤
How have I never known that Mikey Chen has another channel?😳😳😳 Is he a history buff too?
This was very fascinating. My question now is: Mike when you marry, are you hoping for a tradition ceremony?
This is interesting!
the wedding banquet. of course, that's the most awaited part.. 😂
wow i've learn alot from this 😇 nice
I’m Chinese and I didn’t even know this.
So beautiful!!! Holy smoke !!!
Mike, can you make a video on a modern day marriage ceremony while keeping tradition in Chinese culture? or does this apply to modern day marriages today still?
Yi Tang Chinese weddings nowadays are usually westernised, but some people may choose to do both (traditional and western). Still the traditional wedding is much more simplified
ok ,now how did poor people/commoners marry?
The same way just fewer gifts were given.
gifts were usually bought from the 99 cent store
Females will be concubines or stay a farmer's wife.
Good question!
how did poor people marry in US？or wherevery ？
Wow, this is really cool ..
Thank that was interesting and complicated lol 😀
This is so cool
wawo just as in punjab, arrange marriages happen the same way. the match maker, bethrodal gifts, parents deciding, jewllery, welcoming ceremony, banquet, red dress of the girl alomst everything. God guest us easterners had many things in common. thanks for the info
All I can say is
“Vivvvvva Las Vegas” drive through wedding brotha. Thanks for this video lots went into this
Thank you the both Chens, I am getting married and we are agreed to get a minimal traditional chinese wedding, but we don't want the fancy parts like the door game, offerings from the groom's family, the video and the decorated car things. We're trying to conserve the old tradition like the tea celemony, the introduction of family members and the 10 courses food. Anyways, your videos about chinese summarize all the important thing to do in the wedding and that helps us a lot!! Hopefully we don't really have to eat the old-fashioned tangyuan in our wedding.
The way im chinese and the only few marriage I know were like arranged marriage , family blood relative marriage and clans marriage to like help each other fight for something they want against the emperor or smth 😅
Mikey Chen Hey, great video! Really cool! I just have a question for you and it may be a controversial topic. Now that you live in New York again, do you think you'll ever work with OTGW again? I'm sorry if this question was something you didn't want to here, I apologize. I just wanted to know. Thanks.
That group marriage sounds chaotic. Just imagine all the jealousy fights. I wonder if this is why group marriages ended i.e. it caused strife in society and therefore this new form of marriage solved that. Am gonna research more into this group marriage thing. Also, gonna look up how the heck peasants ever afforded to get married. That's a lot of presents! Thanks Chen Dynasty!
Tradition traditions culture. Thanks for sharing video.
Its really interesting how turkish and chinese culture is so similar. I guess bcs turks originatet from the far east we got a lot from there. Some point that are similar or the same are:
1. The color red (we used to use it but now it is mostly used at the hena night where women celebrate befor the wedding)
2. The red cloth (we still use this. The grooms family comes to pick up the bride and she wears it)
3. The bride used to sit on a horse or a donkey befor there were cars.(i think this is similar to the lil wood cabin, cant remember the name)
4. The grooms family comes to ask the brides family for permision to get their son married to their daughter. In more conservative and religious families this is still very normal and most of my friends go threw this. (Its basically how you get to know each other. You then spend some time to know more about each other and THEN decide yes or no. And if you are sure you want to marry each other this "formal" event takes place. They get the rings and the red ribbon between them gets cut threw by the eldest person and the 2 ppl are engaged!)
5. We also give gifts to each other as mentioned in the video. The brides family makes a beautiful Package (there are so many nice boxes esp made for this that one can buy). In it can be anything but mostly rly nice and luxurious items for the family and same goes for the other family. This happens after they are engaged and befor the actual wedding.
I guess there are far more things i could say but this much should be enough 😀. I love chinese history and cultur as it is very similar to yours 🤗
Büsra Halime Süheyla There are so much similarities Asians from all regions share, although we are such a big continent. I’m always interested to learn more about Asian culture, be it eastern, southern , middle eastern etc... my mom thinks it’s strange that I want to learn about other cultures... but I think we’re all one ❤️
keep doing your videos Mike! entertaining, fun, educational, and original. you have your silly side but you don't make yourself like an idi**. great work.
i learned a lot today
- That was How ... ANCIENT China people get married... Thanks for this video & the knowledge...
Wow. So many elements of my wedding in Zhengzhou.
Chinese marriages were generally arranged. Eastern Europe practiced arranged marriages too. I’m half Ukrainian and my grandparents had an arranged marriage. PS they hated each other. Lol
I like the intro.
Vietnamese culture is like this . wedding candles and a charade of the groom family in a line bearing gifts. And the Husband and wife cakes. We wear red too. That is because Vietnam was part of China. Plus, red envelopes
So glad things have changed.
你的视频很棒，加油！！
This is very helpful! I'm marrying my ancient Chinese fiancé in two months.
Grace Mac N' Cheese Congratulations on your wedding (though I’m a year late lol). This ritual is an ancient chinese thing, meaning it is no longer practised. I’m sure you know now after being married haha. It’s nice that you want to learn about Chinese culture online and understand your husband’s culture better.
"Three letters and six etiquettes" -still are the same process of marriage in our community but sure there is one plus point of the modern society that we get right to choose our life partner.
Thank you, that was quite interesting! I learned a lot about this culture just from that bit of information! I need to ask a question: In the Western world, rings are exchanged at the marriage ceremony to show the world that the couple is truly married! Are rings exchanged in the traditional Chinese marriage ritual?
Beyond science is amazing
this is awesome! thanks for introducing the traditions of Chinese wedding. Nowadays Chinese weddings rules are much more flexible and pay more respect to personal wills. So don't be terrified by this lol!!
Mike chan i was wondering if you can do the differences between chinese korean and Japanese temples/palaces
Soy Josh El Snake that is easy. japanese archetecture is tang dynasty style of china. korean is ming dynasty style of china. china have various styles from different times.
Very Interesting. And very complicated. 👲👰
You're back in NY now, why no guest appearance from Dan on this channel? I'm guessing their media group won't let them work with other channels not affiliated with them. That, or there must be a back story we don't know about.
+Funky Chicken, they split almost a year ago. Time to get over that now and move on.
The ancient bride could not eat or drink for the whole day because it was very difficult to go to bathroom with the bridal dress. I totally disregard this custom and had great food during my wedding. My family friends laughed at me and said "Never seen such a bride in a Chinese wedding!"
I am so sorry but 7:08 "Fu-----uah Mulaaaaaan"😂❤️
媒婆-may puo literally means medium madam or lady=matchmaker.
English used to have the word "go-between" and it meant basically the same thing, without all the horoscope etc. Non-arranged marriages are relatively new in the West too. In France wealthy/noble people still have marriage contracts, today they're called prenuptial agreements, but it's the same thing.
wow my mind is blown
I wonder if "free love" will become a larger trend in Chinese cultures as "modernization" increases.
This is not Han traditional. It is Manchu wedding, China.
In ancient China, every marriage must have a marriage broker present. Otherwise, it was not official.
can you guys do a vid about foot binding
Omg. How many youtubes do you have? lol I've seen u across 3 somehow, lol!
great vid but plz google 漢服 hanfu, that's what chinese wear before Manchurian invaders took over. And qipao was invented in 20th century, not particularly in "ancient china".
I 'v already studied much about this topic cos i love knowing more about other cultures,but i found out that everything about the chinese are complicated,marriage,politics ,cultures and so on,and marriage for the chinese is like a business deal ,no love attached,but that may as time goes on .
I wish this still happens, Idk why but the colour red is better for weddings than other colours
I learned some of the etiquette through reading wuxia novels
Hexa tsubasa found another ciel
I was just looking at pix and talking to my girlfriend about Chinese marriage and looking at the clothing worn, so thank you for this video!
i really. love to hear about chinese culture.very interesting.you make it so.your brother has cute dimples!lol!!!
lol the innocent couple at 7:40
M an Indian and we follow the same traditions
... canned chicken soup was a gift in the pic lol
the Chinese Indonesians still roughly follow these rituals in our weddings.. i know some of my friends' family that strictly follow this..
which is funny because some of my family members from China were weirded out by these customs because they simply dont do most of these anymore..
I can't get married in China. . . . I feel I would be terrified lol : so much and so many things to get done, rituals, dowries, negotiations, etc. etc. lol I could feel the anxiety welling up inside me. I think I should be good in America lol.
Nice video. Love learning something new about another country. Thank you!
Same. It kept going and going and I'm like:
"AHHHH!" Lol
Vminhope x
Sadly, most of the young generation don't get traditional weddings anymore. The only chinese thing they do is book a big tea room in restaurants with the stage and projection screen then invite like freaking 50 relatives and friends.
Third party cause so many unhappiness due they want brother to marry own kind not Cantonese but Northern Chineses. In America it does not matter. But bad inlaws never change still to this time.
