Features: This book is an academic monograph that conducts a comprehensive and systematic study of marriage and family in a specific historical period using archival materials. The 18th century was a significant historical stage in the late traditional Chinese society, and the research in this book will deepen our understanding of marriage and family during this period, revealing various characteristics of Chinese marriage and family life before the modern era. At the same time, it can also be seen that traditional factors continue to influence and shape marriage and family in contemporary China. Observing and analyzing marriage behavior and family structures in this relatively modern historical period not only holds high theoretical value but also helps us gain a deeper understanding of the realities of Chinese society today.
