Abstract
Chinese wedding culture has a long history and rich tradition. In its development, it went through two stages and from traditional to modern. This process is a sign of social evolution and progress. The author analyzes the evolution of traditional Chinese wedding rites and customs in six representative periods: the Qing (221–207 BC) and Han (206 BC — 220 AD) dynasties; the Tang (618–907) and Song (960–1279) dynasties; the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1616–1911) dynasties; Republic of China (1912–1949); the time after establishing the People’s Republic of China until the Cultural Revolution (1949–1976), as well as after the start of the reform and opening-up policy (since 1978) to the present days.
