WEB PROJECT - ROLE OF FAMILY



Chinese Family

Family is the cell of the society, and archons of past dynasties all paid great attention to the stability of families, which affected the stability of the society and the regime of the archon as well.
The Chinese for "family" is Jia, which generally means the basic family group, those who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption, living and managing their finances together. Sons live in their father's house with their wifes, who have been brought in from outside the family. As soon as daughters come of age, they are married out, that is, they join another Jia. They are members of their parents' Jia only as long as they are unmarried. During the wedding ritual, daughters officially sever their ties to their father's patriline, and are pledged to serve their new family, including its ancestors. Males are permanent members of the family they were born into; females, however, are expected to eventually leave their natal family.

Elements that Characterize the Traditional Chinese Family:

Patrilineal descent (family name, property, status passes from father to sons to grandsons)
Sacrifice to and veneration of ancestors (eldest living male cares for ancestral tablets and is responsible for ancestral rituals)
Legally recognized concubinage (under the law, a man could have more than one wife)
Large families with several married brothers living together
Need for a male heir to continue ancestor sacrifice
Organization of kinsmen on the basis of a common patrilineal descent ("lineage").
