A background knowledge: most of China's rural areas are closed social environments. Villagers seem to believe more in verbal moral constraints than in the letter of the law on paper. Villagers care about being able to meet a wider range of people through limited socialization.

If this works it is a wise thing to do. Perhaps the limits make them more open and creative to meet people?

The Chinese peasants' concept is closer to the law of nature: fate rules everything in life. When they are healthy and the environment is suitable, they accept happiness; when they are sick and suffer disasters, they accept suffering. It's hard for them to change this view and they won't be open and creative.

In a way it must be relaxing to accept. No matter what the situation is 🤔

Indeed. Whether it's happiness or misery, farmers always take it in stride.
