Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tong Yang Xi or tongyangxi (Chinese: ), also known as Shim-pua marriage in Taiwanese (Taiwanese: sin-p -á, sim-p -á), was a tradition of arranged marriage dating in China, in which a poor family would sell a young daughter to a richer family as a servant or a caretaker, and in exchange, the girl would be married into the adopted family in time to come.
