Is marriage related to fortune telling?

Yes, if we want to talk about human marriage and family, we should talk about the family view under the rule of theology in the past. The written history of human beings is only four or five thousand years at most, but human sexual relations exist with the birth of human beings, at least for millions of years, and the emergence of human marriage and family is also in distant prehistoric times. What was the situation then? This is a long-standing mystery. People can't solve this mystery, so they have to owe God, saying that people and families are made by God. Engels said that before 65438+1960s, there was no family history at all, and history science was completely influenced by the Five Classics of Moses in this respect. Therefore, the first person who must be involved is Moses. Moses was the leader of the ancient Jews. He wrote the Five Classics, which described how God created everything and preached that men were superior to women and patriarchy.

The second key figure to mention is Bachofen, a Swiss anthropologist and jurist. 186 1 year, he published "On Motherhood" and put forward four revolutionary viewpoints: first, he sought rich materials from historical and religious legends and demonstrated that there was unrestricted sexual intercourse in human beings at first, that is, the so-called group marriage and hybridization; Secondly, he was the first to prove that matriarchy precedes patriarchy and demonstrated the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy. Thirdly, he found that the dominant position of women in the family in primitive society was the real foundation of "female rule" in primitive times; Fourthly, he discovered the transition from group marriage to individual marriage. However, some of Bachofen's viewpoints still remain under the influence of religious mysticism. For example, he thinks that the change from matriarchal system to patriarchal system is not due to the change of people's economic living conditions, but the result of the development and change of people's religious concepts.

It is American Morgan who inherits and develops Bachofen. By studying the Indian family relationship, Morgan found that there is a kind of "double family" among Iroquois. This family system is not only popular among American Indians, but also exists in Asia, Africa and Australia. He also found that there is a consistent family system in the Hawaiian islands, but this system seems to be older than the family system in India.

Based on 40 years' research, Morgan published "Ancient Society" in 1877. In his view, human beings were initially in an unrestricted state of group marriage and hybridization, and then sexual intercourse between men and women was minimally restricted before the emergence of marriage system and family form. This restriction gradually developed, as did the marriage system and family form, until monogamy was established in civilized society.
