1.2TheViewofChooseLover

1.2.1DifferentstandardsofspouseselectioninChinaandAmerica

ChinaandAmerica.InChina,whentalkingaboutthestandardofspouseselection,wewillalways?

”“DoseAmerica,thesequestionsrarelymentioned.In“Friends”,thesixprotagonistsalltalkingabouttheirboyfriendsorgirlfriends,weofteninAmericaisverysimple,peoplewouldchoosetogotogetheronlyiftheyinterestsandloveeachother.ButinChina,thesituationbecomesverycomplicated.Whenthinkingaboutmarriage,thesameinterestsandlovearenotthedecisivefactors.Whatreallymattersareyourparents’attitudeandyourfamilybackground.Basedonpeople.（TextualResearchofLawofNineDynasty）.SowecouldseethatbematchedformarriageisveryimportantinChina.Thenext,let’stake“Friends”and“MyOwnSwordsman”forexamples.

1.2.2Take“Friends”and“MyOwnSwordsman”forexamples

In“MyOwnSwordsman”,wecouldseetheinfluenceofparents’attitudeandfamilybackgroundonthemarriage.Inthefirstset,TongXiangyuwasmarriedtoamancalledMr.Mowhosheevendidn’tknow.Thisistheso-calledarrangedmarriage.Unfortunately,theoldtradition,widowcan’tremarrysosheeventhe25setand67set,TongXiangyu’sfatherandGuoFurong’sfathercametoTongfuTaverntointervenetheirdaughter’smarriage.Thesixprotagonistsofcoursetriedtheirbesttoletthetwofathersatisfiedbecausetheyarethecrucialfactoroftheirdaughter’smarriage.Justbecauseofthis,wecouldmakeaconclusionthatloveeachotherisabsolutelyakeyfactor,butiftheparentssayno,thelovewillbecomeworthlessnomatter“Friends”,wecouldalsoseethestandardofspouseselectioninAmericaviasomespecificexamples.ForthosewhoontheMay-DecemberrelationshipbetweenMonicaandRichard.Althoughtheiragesarenotmatch,theystillchosetomarrybecausetheyloveeachother.Itisjustsosimple.Whilethelifeaftermarriagewasnotverytheissuewhethertheyshouldstilllivetogetherreluctantly.Thisistheirstandardofspouseselection.

1.3TheWedding

1.3.1Theweddingceremony

WhentalkingabouttheChinesewedding,peoplewillalwaysbeimpressedbyitsgrandspectacle.In“MyOwnSwordsman”,thereisonlyonewedding,butthisonlyoneweddingconcludedallthefactorsofatypicalChineseweddingceremony.Theredandgrandscene,thenumerousguests,thegrandbanquet,theloudfirecrackers,everythingneededisready.Theatmosphereoftheceremonyislivelyandjazzy.ComparedwiththelivelyChineseweddingceremony,theAmericanweddingceremonyseemstobemorepeacefulandsolemn.Nottoomanypeoplegatheredinthechurchtoblessthenewcouples.Theceremonyisnotgrand,butwarmandalittlepoetic.“Friends”described5weddingceremonies,allofthemarewarmandsolemn,makingtheaudiencefeelcomfortable.EspeciallyRossandRachel’swedding.Althoughtherewasnoaudience,themoodisverywarm.Wecoulddeeplyfeelthepurityoflove.

Franklyspeaking,thisdifferencesitselfisveryinteresting.TheconservativeChinesepeoplewouldliketothecontrary,thejazzyAmericanschoosetotheoddphenomenon,suchasthereligiousbelief,thegeographicdifferences.ButIthinkthisphenomenonitselfChineseandAmericanwedding,thatistheweddingfee.First,theguestsattendingtheweddingceremonyinChinamustpreparearedpacket（moneyinside,atleast100yuan）forthenewcouples.WhileinAmerica,theguestsusuallybringacommongiftfortheweddingceremony.Second,inChina,thecoupleusuallypayfortheweddingfeetogether.Becauseoftheredpackets,therealfeetheyneedtopayisnotaverylargenumber.WhileinAmerica,theweddingfeeistotallypaidbythewife.ThisprobablywillneverinChina,butinAmerica,thisisacommonsense.

1.4TheConjugalRelationship

1.4.1Thepropertyrelations

InChina,thepropertyisinchargeofoneperson,usuallytheoneisthewife.In“MyOwnSwordsman”,TongXiangyuandGuFurongtookchargeofthemoney.Thisreflectstwophenomenon.Thefirst,althoughthepropertyisinchargebyoneperson,thepropertybelongstobothofthem.Itseemstobeunequal,butitperfectlyexplainstheirfirmconjugalrelationship.Thepropertytiesthetwocouplestogether.Thesecond,thefemalesaremorefrugalandcarefulthanthosecarelessmen.Theyaregoodattakingchargeofthemoney.

1.5.2Attitudestowardsdivorce
