Its origins stem from the yin and yang philosophy, where the yin has to merge with the yang in order to achieve harmony; and the philosophy of life after death.Worldwide, other forms of ghost marriages are also practiced, for example in France since 1959 such as posthumous marriage;compare levirate marriage& ghost marriage in South Sudan.For women in traditional Chinese culture, ghost marriages are often performed as it is considered shameful to be parents of an unwed daughter, with unmarried girls often being shunned from society.For men, ghost marriages are performed for the sake of progeny, as they allow the family's lineage to carry on.The idea is that the spouse of a deceased male could adopt a child, who would then carry on the lineage of the man's family.Other reasons for performing ghost marriages for deceased males include the family members of the deceased experiencing dreams or séances from the spirits of the males who have reportedly expressed their desire to be married. *** 𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭:It is..1890s~being born into a conservative family~and cannot choose your own partner~your father eventually accept a marriage proposal from a wealthy family to be the "ghost bride" to their deceased son,Anrou~as it is an opportunity that would save your family from a lifetime of debt~ *** So~escape~ or just accepting your fate~ plot your own~ u can be..your own character& persona~ENJOY♡︎~
