What does the sentence "sedan chair is important, men should have mistresses and women should remarry" mean? Does the ancestor's words make sense?

People who know the traditional culture of China must have heard the saying, "The sedan chair is heavy, the man should have a mistress, and the woman should remarry." In fact, this is just a proverb, and there is no specific reason.

It is true that there are many things in China's ancient culture that we need to inherit and carry forward, but there are also many things that we need to take its essence and discard its dross. It is true that some folk proverbs are very useful and can help us understand the wisdom of many ancient people, but more proverbs only express a regional custom of the society at that time and have no warning effect on society and history.

Because in ancient times, people who got married had to make sedan chairs, which was generally 1 time. To be a sedan chair, you can't take the heavy road, but you can't go back. This is actually a folk taboo, because doing it is the second time to make a sedan chair, which means that men want to marry and women want to marry.

This is just a folk view of marriage, a kind of marriage, and customs vary from place to place. Some places don't have this sentence. He also contains the truth that hope, flowers move forward, marriage and happiness are single-minded to each other. In addition, there are not many profound meanings that need us to understand and ponder.

Therefore, as the saying goes, "sedan chair is important, men should have mistresses, and women should remarry." There is no scientific reason and no scientific basis, so we just let it go and forget it. It contains some reasons that we don't need to analyze and it's useless. It is just an ordinary saying, and its existence represents some ideas in our China culture.
