The Balance of Rites and Wealth:A Further Review of the Marriage Customs in Ningxia Fu During the Qing Dynasty
The application of the"Liuyi"and the"Zhuzijiali"reflects the inheritance of the traditional ritual laws of the Central Plains from the marriage customs of Ningxia Fu in the Qing Dynasty,and is also a true reflection of the local simple folk customs.The extravagance brought about by economic prosperity has affected the standards for measuring the quality of marriage,and the discussion of wealth at weddings has also led to negative consequences such as litigation and marriage snatching.Adjusting the order of"Nazheng"and"Qingqi"can appropriately alleviate this contradiction.The harsh criticism of"disrespect"and"excessive bride-price"in the marriage customs of Ningxia Fu during the Qing Dynasty in the"Minguo Shuofangdaozhi"did not truly touch on the root of the accumulated drawbacks of marriage customs.Rites and wealth are intertwined and mixed accessories to marriage customs.In ancient rituals,many rituals need to be based on property,and the prosperity of the trend of discussing property also needs to be demonstrated through external activities such as etiquette.The result of the balance between the two is that cumbersome rituals are simplified,and the delivery of property is carried out within one's capacity.The opposition between ritual and property is weakened through lively celebrations,so that marriage customs can return to a simple life as much as possible.
