People in remote areas of Guangxi drop out of school early and work early.
If someone can manage their tuition well, they don't need to worry about their living expenses. At the same time, it provides at least the same level of education as third-tier cities. I think these people who get married early at least want to finish college.
I mean, many realistic social phenomena are directly related to economy and culture. For some good cities, compared with them, they lost at the starting line.
Tradition+nationality+economy = early marriage
My coordinate is Dalian. Statistics from Dalian show that in the 1980s, the average age of first marriage in Dalian was 29 for men and 27.4 for women. This standard was very high in that year. On the other hand, southern provinces (almost all, not just Guangxi) are probably young when they get married.
When I was a junior, I once met a colleague from Sichuan. He works in a bakery near the school and often goes to eat noodles, so he becomes familiar. He and I were born a year ago, but we already have three children. This incident touched me so much that I won't forget it for many years.
Let's talk about Guangxi (Guangxi is just a microcosm, and many provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have similar situations).
Guangxi has a long history. In the late Paleolithic period, that is, 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, there were "Liujiang people" and "Qilinshan people" working and living here. After Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, a canal was dug to connect the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, which promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between Guangxi and the Central Plains. In the Han Dynasty, there were markets in Cangwu, Bushan and Hepu, and Hepu became an overseas trade port. In the Tang Dynasty, there were regular fairs in urban and rural areas such as Guizhou, Liuzhou, Yongzhou and Rongzhou. In the Song Dynasty, there was an exchange of goods with merchants. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the mining industry in Guangxi developed greatly, mainly including gold, silver, copper, aluminum, tin and iron. A long history has formed a colorful and unique national culture in Guangxi.
Guangxi has three characteristics: the first is a long history. Guangxi has a long history of human origin. According to archaeological discoveries, as early as 200,000 years ago, primitive humans lived here. Guangxi has been a bitter and cold place since ancient times. Even criminals may die on the road if they can't get to the exile place. The second feature is that there are many nationalities. Guangxi is a Zhuang autonomous region with more than 40 ethnic groups, of which 1 1 has a large population: Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Dong, Mulao, Maonan, Hui, Jing and Shui. The third characteristic is unique culture. The long history has created rich and colorful Guangxi culture.
It is this characteristic that determines the early marriage of Guangxi people.
One is a long history. The standard of marriage age for men and women stipulated in the Book of Rites is that men can get married at the age of 20 and women can get married at the age of 15, but this standard is not uniform. Some dynasties are different. For example, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, it was still implemented according to the standards set in the Book of Rites. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the standard was lowered, and men 15 years old and women 13 years old were married. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, stipulated that men should get married at the age of sixteen and women at the age of fourteen, and so did the Qing Dynasty. As a frontier, every dynasty will intensify its construction and encourage local people to get married and have more children as soon as possible.
Second, the economy is underdeveloped. Underdeveloped areas don't need a lot of information, so they don't need in-depth study. Many people just mix a junior high school diploma and work. They entered the society early and were treated as "social professionals" early, and they didn't need much time to study after work. Low competitive pressure makes it easy for people to find stable jobs early and have more energy to do other things; With personal economic ability, the activity space is relatively small, so life is relatively relaxed and boring. Then the problem comes. People don't like being bored. What else can that man do? And "eating color is also", then most people will definitely turn their energy to the process of finding the other half. In fact, it greatly increases the probability of early marriage and early childbearing.
Third, personal concept: in Guangxi, happiness is easy to be satisfied, and the habit of hard work is completely different from the critical eye of "choosing the best among the best" brought by the large activity space in developed areas; It is also a region with strong traditional ideas. The motivation of unmarried men and women to associate is often very pure-80% is to get married, so once they associate, it is basically a matter of getting married-the standard is low and they can accommodate each other. Acquaintance society, small circle, few choices.
The fourth is national policy. The current ethnic policy has been handed down from ancient times. China's policy towards ethnic minorities is to encourage early marriage and childbearing and demand more births. Now that the birth policy has been completely liberalized, before it was liberalized, ethnic minorities enjoyed more special aspects in marriage and childbirth than the Han nationality.
Finally, late marriage is a modern phenomenon. People in the market economy need more information and study if they want to live better, so that they can be in an invincible position in the constant competition. At the same time, the progress of economically developed society has also intensified people's pursuit of their own freedom of behavior.
I feel that Guangxi is not a place to get married early. Many of them are over 20. Yun Guichuan wants to get married early. I've been in Guangdong for 20 years, and I know many girls in Yunguichuan. They are about 20 years old, and their children are three or five years old. Many of them got married and had children when they were fifteen or sixteen.
But ideas or poverty
Culture.
You are being sarcastic!
Guangxi people are married, with men over 22 and women over 20. What do you mean early?
