Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Chinese family system, tracing its evolution from its origins to its present form. By analyzing historical and etymological data, the author establishes that during China's early development, a metronymic family system existed, with children taking their mothers' surnames and genealogy being traced along the maternal line. However, with the rise of the patronymic system, the family's patriarchal nature was reinforced, with the father becoming the head of the household and the lineage traced through his line. The author explores the profound influence of ancestor worship in stabilizing the patronymic system, highlighting its role in shaping family structure and religious practices. The book offers a valuable and nuanced understanding of the historical evolution and cultural significance of the Chinese family system, providing insights into its enduring impact on Chinese society.
