Marriage Culture in Imperial China

This lecture aims to introduce the gender and marriage culture of historical China to a Western audience and to address some stereotypes arising from the cultural gap. Though constructed on a so-called “patriarchal” framework, traditional Chinese marriage institutions operated in a resilient way, leaving space for individuals to exert agency, and continued to shape marital life and relationships in modern China.
