In ancient China, the custom of “male marriage and female betrothal” (nán hūn nǚ pìn) was prevalent. When a man reached the age of marriage, his elders or a matchmaker (méi rén) would search for a suitable woman as his partner. Similarly, a woman’s family would also seek a compatible man for her. Once both families were satisfied, the exchange of betrothal gifts (pìn lǐ) would take place, marking the beginning of the marriage. This custom was not just a union between two individuals; it was also an alliance between two families, symbolizing mutual trust and commitment.
