Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

  • Comparison on Wedding Culture Between China and Western Countries
    2018 8th International Conference on Education, Management, Computer and Society (EMCS 2018) Comparison on Wedding Culture between China and Western Countries Lihong Xu * Meihong Xu School of Foreign Languages Zhong nan Hospital of Wuhan University, China Wuhan University of Technology, China [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—Marriage has played an important part in keeping the reproduction of humanity, social development and cultural continuity. Different countries have their distinct wedding cultures, which reveal the social life, ethics, religion, values, sexual consciousness and the development trend of national psychology. To enhance people’s understanding of different cultures in the process of cultural globalization, this paper will analyze and compare the differences between Chinese and western wedding culture from the aspects of traditional values, religion and wedding processes. Keywords—Chinese ethic views, Religion, Pre-wedding customs, Wedding day I. INTRODUCTION From ancient times to the present, marriage has played an important part in the reproduction of humanity, social development and cultural continuity. Marriage in different societies has formed its peculiar wedding culture and customs, which reveal the social life, values, ethics, religion, sexual consciousness and the development trend of national psychology. [1] It is a culture accumulation and spiritual wealth created by human beings. With the increasing development of world economy and acceleration of globalization, different cultures have undergone a process of clash and integration. People have more choices when it comes to their wedding ceremony, western or eastern, traditional or modern. No matter which style they choose, the profound values attached to the wedding customs cannot be ignored. The traditional ethics and religious beliefs are always the most important cornerstone of marriage and stable family.

  • Chinese Marriage Traditions: Exploring Contemporary Changes
    Lund University Department of Sociology BIDS Chinese Marriage Traditions: Exploring Contemporary Changes Author: YueYi Qiu Bachelor Thesis: UTVK03, 15 hp Spring Term 2013 Tutor: Axel Fredholm 1 Abstract Author: YueYi Qiu Title: Chinese Marriage Traditions: Exploring Contemporary Changes Bachelor Thesis: UTVK03, 15 hp Tutor: Axel Fredholm Department of Sociology / BIDS ST 13 This thesis presents the transitions of Chinese people’s marriage concepts from before 1949 up to 1978 and explores the new marriage concepts now. The analysis part includes the high rates of divorce, left-over women and the bride price in China. I will mainly discuss why nowadays Chinese people have difficulties getting married, especially Chinese men. This analysis is based on two main theories; one is social exchange and another one is marriage squeeze. The analysis is based on the expensive bride price and how important it is for Chinese people especially for Chinese women. Key words: Chinese marriage, Gender inequality, social exchange, bride price 2 Acknowledgment First of all I want to give many thanks to my supervisor Axel Fredholm. Thanks to his detailed and professional guidance. From him I learned a lot. I also really appreciate his patience and encouragement. If without his help this paper will never carry out.

  • Engagement and Marriage in Iraq
    CultureTalk Iraqi Arabic Video Transcripts: http://langmedia.fivecolleges.edu Engagements and Weddings English Translation: The issue of knowing a person…If a young man, let’s suppose, decided to marry a specific woman; if he knows her, [but] not her family, he goes and talks to her directly regarding marriage. He proposes to her. Then she delivers the proposal to her family. After that, a visit is arranged between his parents and hers, to enable the man to come with his family and meet the woman’s since he has only seen her. Usually he would meet her at work, university, or some similar place. If the man does not know the woman but is acquainted with her brother or father, he goes to her brother or father and proposes to her officially. From there, things will progress and more visits would be exchanged between the families . etc. after an agreement is reached, there is a private visit that no one would know of because, as we say, nothing has happened yet, they [man and woman] are still on the shore1. The family visit is arranged for both sides to meet each other. Then they decide the next step. Perhaps the woman’s family would not like the man for a given reason. Certainly, a woman has the right to accept or refuse. If she rejects, she has to say why. For instance, she would say that he does not have a college degree or he is not employed…there are many reasons. But it has to be good reason.

  • Presence & Engagement Guidelines: Marriage
    Presence & Engagement Guidelines: Marriage The Church of England is committed to being a ‘Christian presence in every community.’ The increasing diversity of our country means that in some communities, questions arise which relate to the nature of that presence among people of other faiths. In order to ensure that Anglican clergy working in these areas are supported in their ministry, Presence & Engagement have put together guidelines addressing a range of frequently asked questions. These are intended to highlight some of the theological and practical issues which need to be considered in multi-religious contexts, and in doing so give clergy the confidence to make decisions which can be the basis of good relations with other faith communities. The guidelines have been prepared by members of the Presence & Engagement task group and are primarily aimed at Anglican clergy, but may also be of interest to lay people and ministers of other Christian denominations working in diverse settings. Within most dioceses there is also a designated interfaith adviser, who can be consulted for further assistance. To find contact details for diocesan advisers as well as other information and resources, go to www.presenceandengagement.org.uk. Introduction In an increasing number of situations, clergy are being approached by couples seeking marriage, one of whom is an adherent of a faith other than Christianity. The following guidelines are designed to set out briefly some of the theological, pastoral, liturgical and legal issues which may need to be explored, particularly where a wedding service is being planned to take place in church. Anglican thinking about marriage emphasises that the theology of marriage is rooted in creation.
