Abstract

Previous studies on marriage and childbearing culture have primarily focused on interpreting the concept of marriage and childbearing culture and identifying its influencing factors, while lacking comparative analysis of the process of marriage and childbearing culture transformation and its impact on birth rates. This paper employs a literature review method and synthesizes various theoretical perspectives to reveal the close relationship between the historical evolution of marriage and childbearing culture in Shandong Province and birth rates. In ancient times, marriage and childbearing culture emphasized the role of reproduction in lineage continuity, while the establishment of the socialist system after the founding of the People's Republic of China significantly promoted gender equality and freedom in love. However, the prevailing materialism today has become a major factor in lowering birth rates. This study contributes to governmental efforts in promoting a new type of marriage and childbearing culture, weakening the influence of materialism on marriage and childbearing concepts, and increasing birth rates to ensure the rationalization of Shandong Province's population age structure.
