"Getting married by parents' order and on the matchmaker's words" was held as the marriage rule for thousands of years. However, this rule started to fall apart since the 1911 Revolution, or the Xinhai Revolution. It not only put an end to the monarchy of China, but also greatly promoted democracy and other western ideologies among the Chinese people, thereby contributing much to the country's transition from an inanimate feudal society towards a modern, open one.
