Introduction

The Chinese culture has always been an interest to me, everything from food to annual festivals. One of the most fascinating things about the Chinese culture is their traditional marriage custom brought forward from 2,000 years ago. Although most of these traditions have been faded out because of its irrelevancy to today's society, some rituals have made its way into modern society.

Most of the traditional marriage customs had changed as time changed. The technological advances and industrialization of the world altered these traditions to conform to the contemporary world. My research will define these traditional marriage customs and rituals of the Chinese culture, and track their changes from the past to the present. Identifying the ways Chinese people preserve their culture while living in a modern time.
