He points out that marriage is, after all, as the Chinese saying has it, "a match of households." That is to say, it is best that the two partners are similar in social, economic, educational, and cultural aspects. "In contemporary Taiwan society, differences in provincial origin do not constitute differences in social status," he contends.
他指出，婚姻講究的是「門當戶對」，就是雙方在社會、經濟、教育、文化等方面最好要接近，「在現在的台灣社會中，省籍不同，並不構成社會地位的差異」，他說。
