No matchmaker, no concubine
In ancient times, women could only become concubines of men without the introduction of a matchmaker and formal marriage procedures. According to the Book of Rites, if a woman marries her husband according to the procedures of marriage, she will become the husband's wife, and if there is no matchmaker's introduction, without the preparation of the six rites, the woman can only become the man's concubine. Under such circumstances, women's status was low and they did not receive social recognition and respect. This also reflected the importance that ancient society attached to the marriage system and etiquette, as well as the weak position of women in marriage.
