The family tradition is an important part of the family, so why are there so few modern families that have a family tradition?

Family rules originated in the ancient times when the common people passed on the rules from father to son and taught them by word of mouth, which was accompanied by the formation of the family by bloodline. It is the deep soil of the clan family. In ancient times, human society went through the changes of clan, family, and household, which are the cornerstones for the formation of a nation.

When the country is unstable and the law of the land is not clear, the family rules and regulations can play a role in stabilizing the social order. Because, in order to maintain the necessary legal system, the family formulated a certain behavioral norms to restrain the family, which is the earliest origin of the family law and family training. Along with the progress of human socio-economic development, China's social structure and family structure has changed dramatically, and this change has obviously made the thousands of years of history of the family training culture has lost the basis for growth.

The demise of clan society. Before the emergence of class society, there was a considerable period of time in the clan society, with the development of social productive forces and the fruits of labor there is a surplus, some people are able to occupy the fruits of the labor of others, and use the occupied labor wealth to enslave others, so the phenomenon of rich and poor appeared, the beginning of the germination of private property. The change in the disparity between the rich and the poor was the basis for the emergence of classes, and in the late stage of patriarchal clan society, clan society began to disintegrate and class society began to emerge. The family tradition is an important part of traditional Chinese culture.

The structural form of the family has in fact ceased to exist. Under China's long feudal system, this feudal patriarchal patriarchal extended family always survived, regardless of the number of small, individual families encompassed within the extended family, always maintaining the concept of one family with the same surname. After the establishment of the socialist system in China, private ownership has been eliminated from the economic base, and the small families or individual families in the large patriarchal family supported by private ownership have been liberated from the feudal patriarchal system, forming a number of families that are more purely based on blood relations. The feudal extended family has lost the conditions for survival in today's society.

Family structure has changed. Especially since the reform and opening up, the concept of family in China has changed a lot, and the family structure has also undergone major changes. Fewer children in the family, smaller family size, simpler family structure, and more empty-nest families are all prominent manifestations of the change in family structure. Our society has undergone a great transformation with the establishment of the socialist market economy system.

"Social transition refers to the change from some kind of non-market economy society to a market economy society in a specific international environment, and in the terminology of contemporary development theory it is the transition from a traditional society to a modernized society." In the course of this transition, many factors in society are subject to change, including accelerated population mobility, changes in residential structures, and changes in lifestyles and mindsets. Changes in these areas are the social root causes of the current problems in family rules and discipline, and even in the construction of family customs.

Due to the changes in the social and family structure, the inheritance of the traditional culture of China's family training has encountered challenges, especially under the conditions of the market economy, ideological pluralism and value pluralism are also important factors in the dilution of family training. How to cope with these challenges and promote and pass on the excellent culture of family training is an issue we should think y about!
