China's traditional society operates according to the schema of "differential order pattern". Whose view is this?

Fei Xiaotong's point of view

Mr. Fei Xiaotong once described a certain system in ancient China as a "pattern of difference order", that is, "a network of relationships that is self-centered and formed in the order of ... difference and difference." This structural mode of differential order pattern is common in the traditional society of China. Among them, the relationship between father and son and brother is the most basic level, and it is the template of "differential order pattern", from which other levels get their construction principles.
