Getting married is a life process that almost everyone experiences in traditional Taiwanese society. That both men and women should marry when they are of age is the common consensus among the majority of Taiwanese people, and is considered the responsibility of parents. Therefore, marriage is considered “the most important event in a person’s life.” Taiwanese ancestors inherited the concept of spouse choosing from traditional Chinese culture and, after accumulating the practical experience to fully implement the process of choosing a spouse for marriage, have passed it down to subsequent generations in the form of proverbs. For this study, we selected a number of Taiwanese proverbs related to choosing a spouse and divided them into five categories, including “Nan da dang hun, nu da dang jia: the necessity of marriage,” “tsua mo kua niu le, ge an kua lao bei: the principles of choosing a suitable spouse,”“tsua mo tsua di hui tsua xi: the standards of searching for a dutiful wife and loving mother,” “kiam ao tsu, mm mian kiam dua hu: the method for finding the appropriate person to marry,” and “in uan ten tsu ding, mue lan ka hian shin: the character and the uses of matchmakers,” to investigate their meaning. We then used these results to determine how Taiwanese proverbs influence the modern process of choosing a spouse compared with the theory and perspective of modern relationships between men and women to provide a reference for Taiwanese people choosing a spouse.
