In recent decades, with the development of economic society and the change of cultural life, family intergenerational relationships are very great changes have taken place, "feedback" model of stability and balance between intergenerational gradually be broken. Accelerate the spring tide of reform and opening-up and modernization drive of our country, the impact to every corner of society, the traditional family intergenerational relationship is gradually disintegrated, intergenerational relationship becomes extreme imbalance. Notably in the 1980 s after the accelerated trend of family miniaturization, core, has a direct influence to family intergenerational relationship, intergenerational level, intergenerational relationship simplify become the new characteristics of inter-generational relations change. Intergenerational relationship refers to the individual in the family because of kinship and marriage relationship, namely the parental relationship with the child. Intergenerational relations change is the social mobility and cause the change of social structure. Foreign scholars to study the changes of the family intergenerational relationships there are mainly three directions:the decline of "family decline theory" and the rise of "intergenerational solidarity" research; Intergenerational relationship issues and social change theory, social theory and social exchange theory of collision; Modern theory of intergenerational relationship changes. Domestic scholars on the study of family intergenerational relationships change is shown in three aspects:localization of the theory of intergenerational relations change, to the pension problem and the relationship of center of gravity of inter-generational relations change theory, multi-dimensional perspective of intergenerational relations theory.In China’s traditional family, parents as parents have absolute authority in the family, they control almost all of the important resources in the family, and thus to obtain their children respect and honor. Confucian advocated by the "pro" or "no violations" as the center of the concept of filial piety, laid the intergenerational relationship in our country is the most basic mode of interaction, namely the children to the parents’ obedience, filial piety, which is the social widespread approval and the desired behavior. It is because of the traditional filial piety in the influence of social life, and the inheritance and continuity of traditional society, children have almost no voice in the family, only to listen to the arrangement of the parent, such as marriage, the respect such as choosing not to choose, traditional family intergenerational relationships in the society of "filial piety" occupies the important and stable position. In traditional Chinese family hierarchy system, intergenerational communication between main is a one-way, the discourse system of the traditional type, majesty, that the younger generation must obey the will of the elders, otherwise there will be seen by public opinion as the risk of unfilial. Not only that, women in the traditional social inter-generational relations in inequality is especially obvious. Can reflect kinship family as the most standard thought is the core of Chinese culture, family standard thought. By embracing a core family including the father and son, wife, mother, brother and other blood relatives, formed the daily ethics norms and beliefs of the Chinese culture, especially the thought on Confucianism by "filial piety, and, sincerity, letters" family ethical beliefs to practice "righteous father, the mother kind, friends brother, brother, purge, son filial piety", such as daily moral code of conduct.Look from the family structure, especially since the reform and opening up since the 90 s, the family structure quickly core, soon after the marriage, advocated not only brothers divide’houses, and also tend to be separated from their children and parents to ChanGuo. Even if is the only child family, son married, parents also will be more and more common to choose break up ChanGuo with son. On family size, since reform and opening up, the rural population average household continues to decline, the nuclear family. Great changes have taken place in family structure. Don’t respect women in traditional society, and even beaten at home, the behavior of the lash women in modern society also contain gradually, as the ascension of the independence of women’s economic status, political status, gender inequality leads to violent behaviour and psychological disrespect to reduce gradually, the rights of women liberation. Marriage independent choice of development is a big progress of the society as a whole, is also a family intergenerational relationships change showed a very typical characteristics. In modern society, in this kind of conflict and a state of imbalance, the elderly because of lost family rights dominance, the leading position not only from their economic status, and personal authority. After reform and opening up, the whole society in all aspects of dramatic changes, the changes of the generational relation lead to reduce gradually, several generations of family into the phenomenon of separation at the core of the family.Since modern times inter-generational relations change is one of the biggest aspects from the traditional parent-child relationships as the center of the family structure to the relationship as the center of the family structure change, longitudinal father-son relationship that reflects the traditional Confucian ideas about social order and family. The elderly endowment from home endowment patterns into a social endowment patterns. Intergenerational relations change influence on teenagers in their healthy growth and the problems of communication with their parents, these are all related to the development of The Times change, is one of the associated out problems in the development of society. Intergenerational relations change influence on the young and middle-aged mainly reflects on the voice change. In today’s society due to the changes of the rural family intergenerational relationship, the traditional clan families due to the large number of migratory population and flow has been able to gradually tend to collapse, the existence of clans in rural has become less and less. After a city village, the market economy to strengthen the inter-generational relations of mutual assistance, internal team members that adult children and mature parents are actually two different roles within the family, the two roles complement each other, to fulfill the meaning of the family together. Traditional family mixed together in the society, the family have a lot of binding to social members, people decided to one thing that they tend to be involved in the interests of the whole family, so treat each decision very carefully. Intergenerational relations change lead to members of the social values change, behavior tends to choose for their own behavior and is not conducive to the behavior of the family. The family of the intergenerational relationship with a change of family apart, the rise of small family family undertake social function gradually replaced by a social organization.
