Words and slogans commonly used in people's love and marriage in 1960s and 1970s.

-Come together for the common revolutionary goal.

"We all come from all corners of the country and come together for a common revolutionary goal", which is a common leader's quotation when people get together in the 1960s, including dating only for men and women.

With the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, human nature was distorted, and political beliefs and class positions replaced the love between men and women, which led to the second divorce climax in the history of * * * and China. 10 During the "Cultural Revolution", thousands of couples separated for reasons such as "drawing a line" and "turning against each other", and the exact figures are still difficult to count. By the end of the Cultural Revolution, personal feelings and bourgeois feelings were completely equated, and love itself became synonymous with bourgeois world outlook and outlook on life. A large number of novels, movies and plays containing love content are banned as poisonous weeds. On the stage of literature and art, there are only two kinds of relationships between men and women: class feelings or class struggles, family is a revolutionary family, and husband and wife are revolutionary couples.

Love is an instinctive pursuit and yearning of human beings, which cannot be stifled and changed by political inclination and revolution and chaos in the superstructure field. Objectively speaking, although many virtues in China's traditional culture were denied during this period, people's attitude towards love was generally simple and persistent, and ideology strongly suppressed personal feelings. As far as the whole society is concerned, the attitude towards gender relations is quite serious and conservative. This is why today, with the increasingly open concept of sex and the increasingly indifferent consciousness of persistence, people still deeply miss the not-so-beautiful 1960s.

Time elements: family elements

Poverty is not important. Anyway, there were no rich people in China at that time, and ugliness didn't matter. Anyway, the concept of handsome boy was far from there at that time. On the contrary, handsome men lack the true colors of working people, and poor family composition is the main reason why most bachelors are single-don't blame lesbians, marry the descendants of landlords, and your next generation or even generations may be unable to lift their heads.

Age custom: no custom

All the old traditional colors have been denied, even the word custom contains derogatory colors, and the worship of heaven and earth has long been abolished. A couple expressed their loyalty in front of the portrait of the leader, and then recited the quotations: "People in our team should care and love each other …" For those lively people, please sing "Quotations Song" and dance "Loyalty Dance" together.

Sequential document: marriage application

The general format is as follows: the great leader Chairman Mao taught us that there is no love and hate for no reason ... Then he showed the party organization who he wanted to marry (I don't know what the relationship between the two people's marriage and the party is very tiring), why he wanted to get married (basically everyone is the same: better oppose private criticism and actively participate in class struggle), and finally he showed the determination of two people to get married (the organization should be thorough in this matter).

Contemporary characteristics: separation between two places

Large-scale organized population migration, such as supporting the construction of the third line, has caused many lovers and couples to live far away. Divorce was unimaginable at that time, so many people have spent a lot of energy on difficult and long-term mobilization since then, and spent a large part of their meager salary on the railway year after year.

Love in the 1970s.

-beautiful Xishuangbanna, can't keep my father.

Going to the countryside and the large-scale educated youth returning to the city later, as one of the most direct and important historical events affecting young people in the 1970s, left almost all those who experienced it with emotional shadows and trauma.

"Beautiful Xishuangbanna, can't keep my father, Shanghai is so big, is there still my home?" This is the lyrics of the theme song of the TV series karma. This TV series reflects the pain and trauma left by the movement of going to the countryside to the whole generation of young people and their next generation. -Love produced in hardship and despair is simple and fragile. When the fate of both parties or one of them takes an unexpected turn, love and even marriage are going through a severe test, and the sequelae of great changes even take several generations to gradually heal. Therefore, almost all literary and artistic works reflecting the love of educated youth in the harsh environment of that period are the same pattern: simple ideas, natural impulses, beautiful processes and tragic endings.

Another major historical event that had a direct impact on young people in this period was the restoration of the national college entrance examination system in 1977. Many young people who might have been busy in rural areas or factories all their lives have entered the university campus, changing from workers, peasants and soldiers to intellectuals, and the rapid change of their identities has also brought subtle changes in their views on love. Many emotional changes have taken place among these people.

After political fanaticism and belief enthusiasm faded, mental exhaustion and will burnout gradually made people tend to be rational, and the simple and almost naive love view of the previous generation began to shake. Later, people paid more and more attention to reality and material factors, and people began to suspect that the so-called purity surpassed the fanatical revolutionary ideal and so on. The whole 1970s became a bloody dusk in the era of pure love.

Age taboo: playing hooligans

Young men and women holding hands openly in the street will be called hooligans by old people pointing at their backs, while a pair of lovers are still wandering in the street late at night, which is very likely to be stopped by vigilant defense team members for close questioning. Even if you have enough evidence to prove that you are both descendants of the revolution and do revolutionary work, it is still difficult to escape the hat of moral corruption and decadent ideas. So it's best to date in broad daylight.

Age and posture: Sit in second class.

That is, the woman sits on the back frame of the bicycle (it is forbidden to cross her legs, which is a rogue posture). Not only young men and women in love often walk together in this way, but also most women are married into their homes by their husbands in this way. Of course, unlike ordinary people, they all wear red flowers on their chests. Popular in the 1990s: Soldiers

Thanks to the upsurge of the times when all the people are soldiers, active servicemen are the first choice for girls. There is a simple reason. The most important political and judicial organizations and governments have handled this matter for us. Even if the troops can't be promoted, demobilized or retired, the local government can arrange a job, which is quite beneficial in the era when there is no free economy.

Chronological standard: state-owned or collective

State-owned or collective, big collective or small collective, this is an important criterion to consider each other's identity when falling in love, and the nature of the work unit often determines the status in love.
