Excuse me, were there people who married late in ancient times? What kind of people usually get married later? You'd better give an example!

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 2,700 years ago, there were legal provisions for late marriage and late childbearing. It is stipulated that men should be 30 years old and women should be 23 years old before they can get married and have children. "Book of Rites" records that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, "men began to learn etiquette at the age of twenty, and began to manage men's affairs at the age of thirty. Women start to get married at the age of fifteen and get married at the age of twenty-three. " This is the ancient Marriage Law, which advocates that men are 30 years old and women are 23 years old. In White Tiger Yi Tong, Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty made a more scientific discussion on the marriageable age of 30 years for men and 23 years for women: "A 30-year-old man is a strong father; Female 23, full of skin, mother. " Su Wen is an ancient medical book, in which there is a clearer explanation for late marriage and late childbirth: "Men in their twenties are full of blood, long muscles, strong muscles and full blood vessels. Women's kidney qi is average until they are 22 years old, so their real teeth are particularly long. " As can be seen from the above explanation, the ancient system of late marriage and late childbearing was not considered from the perspective of economic development and family planning to control population growth, but was formulated according to the characteristics of physical growth and the needs of growth and development.

Later, due to the continuous war and the sharp drop of population, the rulers strongly advocated early marriage and early childbearing in order to expand their troops, which led to the abandonment of the late marriage system and the prevalence of early marriage and early childbearing. Even in remote and backward areas, there are still bad habits of early marriage and early childbearing.
