Cousin or cousin, which is closer?

Cousins and cousins, although brothers, are still different, but this is a bit complicated, and I feel completely confused. What is the difference between cousins? Yan Qing:

In terms of blood relationship, cousins are like cousins! Cousin is the child of his father's brother or younger brother. He has the same grandparents and belongs to it runs in the family! Cousins are the sons of uncles and aunts and former three generations of blood, so they are as close as blood! However, judging from the traditional clan concept in China, cousins are brothers of the same clan, * * * carry on the family line and belong to the closest relatives; Cousins are responsible for the category of external relatives!

But from the perspective of kinship, which cousin is closer is definitely different from person to person. Brothers who come and go are often closely related; People who don't come and go often, even brothers, are not close. In the scene of Journey to the West surrendering to Hong Haier, Friar Sand said to the Monkey King, "If you don't come to your house for three years, you won't kiss." It can be seen that no matter cousins or cousins, the relationship will be closer only if they keep in touch and walk frequently, because feelings need to be connected!
