家庭是中国乡村社会中的基础单位,在长期共同生活和世代繁衍中,家庭不断扩大,形成为一个由若干以姓氏和血缘关系为纽带的家庭组成的家族。传统中国某种意义上可以说是一个家族社会,许多村庄是以姓氏命名的。家族通过血缘关系将若干家庭联结在一起,并内在地产生出家族社会权力。 The family is the basic unit of Chinese rural society. In the long-term common life and generation multiplication, the family is constantly expanding and formed into a family consisting of a number of families whose surnames and blood ties are ties. Traditional China can be said to be a family society in some sense, many of which are named after surnames. The clan ties together several families through kinship and intrinsically generates clan social power.
