Features: Throughout the long course of historical evolution, marriage and the family formed by marriage not only directly bear the responsibility of human reproduction and continuation but also serve as the primary producers of living materials. In the entire agrarian economy era with relatively low labor productivity, the kinship relationships centered around marriage and family effectively maintained the entire society. Although after China implemented the system of administrative divisions, regional connections have become the backbone of the national political structure, in the social and economic fields, the family remains the basic cell. Its influence extends to all aspects, including social politics, economy, culture, and concepts. This book focuses on the changes in the marriage system of Hebei Province during the reform process of the marriage system after the founding of the country. It mainly introduces the impact of the reform of the marriage system in this region on the general public and studies the specific changes in people's social life. This book provides a certain reference for a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and development trends of Chinese marriage and family changes, as well as for the government to formulate relevant policies and laws, and thus has high academic value and practical significance. The full text consists of a preface, five main chapters, and a conclusion.
