Why is my uncle sometimes older than my father in China?

Because in ancient times, women could not sue themselves, so they needed help. Only their own uncles can stand up for women, which is why they are the biggest in the world.

First of all, from ancient times to the present, my uncle's status is very high, except that my uncle exists to protect my married daughter. If anything happens to the married daughter, she is entitled to ask if the man is her uncle, so that he will not be so embarrassed to ask. Besides, you can't call your parents. You know, both parents are old.

Secondly, in case of a fight, it must be uncle Qiang. My brother-in-law or brother-in-law dare not be so arrogant. Sometimes fists are everything. For example, in ancient times, people often divorced their wives, saying that they didn't want their wives. At this time, it is also the uncle who seeks justice for women. Because ancient women can't go to court, my uncle can, and naturally my uncle will do it for me. Over time, my uncle's role will become more and more important.

In ancient China society, uncle's status was so lofty, which was actually a tradition left over from matriarchal clan society. Although patriarchy was emphasized in ancient China society, it was precisely because of this tradition left by matriarchal clan society that my uncle was often the patriarchy representative of my mother's family, involving some affairs of my mother and nephew. My uncle has an important say. For example, in some places in China, nephews need to sit in the upper position at wedding banquets. Whether a mother wants to remarry must also get her uncle's consent.

Finally, my uncle's status is so high because he represents the dignity and majesty of the woman. If the woman is wronged in her husband's family and goes back to her family, her uncle will come forward to explain to the man without saying anything. Why did you bully my family? If the man doesn't explain it well, then I'm embarrassed to let my uncle report it to the official.
