China has been in the feudal society for a very long time, people pay highly attention to the relationship by blood ties, and this kind of stubborn bond makes the "parents arrange the marriage" last for thousands of years. Influenced by the Feudal ieals, "Properly matched marriage" has passed down at the Chinese society all the time, and the strong sense of family values makes the marriage not only the couple's matter but also the two families'
matter.However, American always represents the open and freedom. Equal and effusive folk customs lead American people do not limit marriage too much, it is whether love each or not , whether living together or not, that really determine the marriage.
