The ancestors of family ethics are eighteen generations.

Family: a social unit formed on the basis of blood relationship, including several generations of the same clan.

Generation: the position of family, relatives and friends according to generation.

By studying the history of a family through genealogy, two laws can be drawn:

1. About every 25-30 years, a new generation will be born. A family tree has been recorded for 600 years, and it has been passed down for about 20-24 generations.

2. For a family whose genealogy has been recorded for more than 300-400 years, there may be seven generations difference between people who are alive at the same time.

Since ancient times, for a person, "seniority" has been determined from birth, and he has no choice. The seniority between the same clan is strictly observed. For example, the address must be accurate. In daily life, you should take the initiative to greet your elders and give up your seat, and you should pay great attention to the seating, so as not to lose your manners. A person's words and deeds and even his fate will be influenced by clan etiquette and bound by traditional morality.

There is a difference of seven generations. What do you call each other?

According to the textual research of China's Chinese Dictionary, Er Ya Qin Shi, Biography of the Spring and Autumn Ram and Four Years of Zhuang Gong, the names of the "upper, lower and ninth generations" of human beings in China are determined:

The above order appellation: parents are the ones who gave birth to themselves, fathers are ancestors, grandfathers are great-grandfathers, great-grandfathers are great-grandfathers, great-grandfathers are heavenly ancestors, great-grandfathers are fierce, great-grandfathers are great-grandfathers and great-grandfathers are ancestors.

Namely: father, ancestor, Zeng, Gao, Tian, Lie, Tai, Yuan and Nose.

Because people are pregnant with Taekwondo, the nose is shaped first, so the originator is the originator.

Call them in the following order: father's son is a son, son is a grandson, grandson's son is a great-grandson, great-grandson's son is a grandson, great-grandson's son is a grandson, and great-grandson's son is a grandson.

Namely: Zi, Sun, Zeng, Xuan, Lai, Bi, Shang, Yun and Er.

"Those who listen to the words of their grandchildren are far away from their ancestors, and they are only audible." "Those who are far away from their ancestors are almost nine generations." To prove it!

Family ethics title: people know each other. If you don't know each other's blood, please don't "call each other brothers" or "call each other sisters". This is an abrupt and ignorant behavior, which violates family education ethics and violates family dignity. Reflect the civilization of a family. In some areas, this kind of chaos is serious. Mao and his great-grandson are brothers, which is pathetic and ignorant!

Please remember the general address for people you don't know at ordinary times: "comrade" in the party and "clan", "clan" and "clan" in the family, which shows the civility and courtesy of a family with a surname. (If you know your pedigree, you can call them heads of families, big brothers and nephews ...), only Jianghu people are called "elder brothers" regardless of age!

Specifically, it should be called this:

1. Young elders are called older generations. Those with titles are called titles to show respect and respect for sages. If you don't have a professional title, you should call them by their first names+relatives. All the people older than me are called by their first names to show their friendship.

2. If the elders say that the younger generation who is similar in age or younger than themselves has no professional title, they should call them by their first names.

The younger generation is called the elder.

They can be called chiefs, clansmen and elders. All elders are called seniority+name+uncle, and all elders are called seniority+name+grandfather. It is not an exaggeration to call people "clansmen".

Brothers and sisters among peers, whatever, are called brothers and sisters in their own homes.

It is a phenomenon of civil strife to treat everyone as a big brother and a short sister. There are two kinds of people who undermine ethics and patriarchal clan system:

First, I don't know, and I didn't receive orthodox and good ethics education in my family. I think being brothers is conducive to a harmonious relationship. This situation is mostly. Nowadays, there are many people who migrate frequently, and it is understandable that scattered people do not understand family ethics. Some of them don't know each other, and their parents and grandparents don't know how to address them. What's more, they even forget their seniority. It's really sad I hope the clansmen can relearn the knowledge and rules of this family.

Second, deliberately befriend each other and win over each other under the premise of losing dignity, in order to achieve the purpose of dissatisfaction. I won't explain this, I believe there are still many. People in the same family should correct it. Maybe that place is your elder, and it would be too bad if the other person is your junior. It really hurts ethics!
