The Power Of Clan Maintenance

The clan has an important significance in the composition of China's social structure.It is an important link in maintaining the social structure of China and carries the cultural connotation of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years.The stability of Chinese society also depends on clans such as self-running.Self-organization,clan ownership plays an extremely important role in China's grassroots organizations.“We don't change our name and do not change our surname”is an old Chinese saying.China has a special foundation and emotion in the culture of surnames.In China,surnames represent the origin of a person and the group to which they belong.The origin of human society is the matriarchal society,and the origin of the same name is also in the period of the matriarchal society.From the period of matriarchal society,the surname played a function of differentiating between different blood groups.The surname has become a special sign that distinguishes different groups.China also has a fluent history of surnames.This article is based on the clan and studies the power of maintaining clan.The selection of the family and genealogy of the Lin family was investigated for a variety of reasons.The Lin family is a famous family in Fuzhou.In China,a country with strong social relations,it is not only family production and genealogy that sustain the clan.The social influence of the family and the sense of honor and identity of the self also play an important role.This is also a point I want to argue.
