But falls and the Warring States, the Qin and Han Dynasty, as a result of the ancestor legal system's disintegration, seals the organization system take it as the foundation also to move toward the collapse, to the system of prefectures and counties evolution, offers a sacrifice to the politics to have the separation, by now succession to the headship retained is only sacrificial offering power carrying on, organized as the succession to the headship content and the form ancestor sacrificial offering and the patriarchal clan also to have the corresponding change. This time's ancestor sacrificial offering broke"the support does not offer a sacrifice to"the boundary, once the sacrifice which monopolizes for the aristocrat also expanded and to the common family. But the patriarchal clan organizes also"hundred th does not move"by the pre-Qin period the patriarchal clan ethics evolution is"five th move"the new relative ethics.

Outside descendants it sub-may also inherit the corresponding title, but jue the level must be lower than the descendants, the female is may have the title, and may the inherit title, but the feminine inherit title has the condition, that is the ancestor must be"the dead matter".The head of household inherits is another important aspect which the Qin and Han Dynasty status inherits. Is opposite inherits in the succession to the headship and the title, the head of household inherits has the universality. The head of household successor's scope compared in the title successor must be much bigger, when the female became the head of household successor, also did not need to have"the dead matter"various condition limit, in"the household in the situation even the servants might a generation of household, this manifest the Qin and Han Dynasty country certainly"to want to occupy the registered permanent address the goal.Inheritance system based on the status to the national politics influential role, the Qin and Han Dynasty country inherits to the status has carried on the initiative involvement.
