Abstract: Urban-rural marriage is one of the forms of long-distance marriage, which means one of the couples comes from the city and the other comes from the countryside. This gap is reflected in many aspects, such as their way of thinking, living habits, educational status and value systems. The domestic researches about urban-rural marriages originated in the 1990s with the trade of rural-urban migration. These researches mainly focus on the marriage status from the vertical dimension, but lack longitudinal studies in a historical dimension. This study attempts to put marriage into the Chinese social structure of politic, history and society since the recent times, focuses on the development and changes of urban-rural marriage from Yan’an period in the 1930s to the end of 1970s. Through this perspective can we see the historical changes of the Chinese social structure since the accent times. From the Yan’an period in the 1930s to the end of the Cultural Revolution in the 1970s, urban-rural marriage was not only influenced by some specific historical events, but also interfered by the state power and political forces. Political direction and national policy become key factors of the success of urban-rural marriages.
