Discover how the Chinese family system shaped society, from ancient origins to modern reforms, with clear, data‑driven insight.
This book presents a concise, accessible study of the Chinese family as the basic unit of society. It combines historical context with an analysis of present structures, rights, and customs, drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources. The aim is to offer reliable facts and practical context for understanding how families lived, governed, and evolved over time.
- How marriage and kinship were formed, controlled, and evolved in China’s long history.
- The roles and rights of husbands, wives, and children within the family and its broader system.
- Key laws, customs, and rites that shaped daily life, including marriage, divorce, and ancestor worship.
- How traditional practices contrast with modern civil codes and changing social expectations.
Ideal for readers of social history, anthropology, and family law who want a grounded overview of a major cultural institution.
