Why do children in China always take their father's surname instead of their mother's?

In the tradition of China, children usually take their father's surname. Few people take their mother's surname, and even if there is, it is a very small part. In modern times, this situation has changed a lot, but if children take their mother's surname, they will be laughed at by relatives and friends around them, and it is a shame for children to take their mother's surname. In the hearts of China people, some traditional ideas are deeply rooted. No matter how time passes, it can't be changed, such as the child's surname. In ancient times, men were the pillars of a family and completely controlled all the power in the family. Therefore, children take their father's surname.

? In traditional thinking, the husband is a woman's day, and everything of a woman should be dominated by her husband. At home, all the decisions are in the hands of men. The deep-rooted feudal thought is unimaginable, and it is like a rule that children take their fathers' surnames. Only those son-in-law who come to the door will allow their children to take their mother's surname. Marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog. Since ancient times, women have relied on men for survival and have no position in society. Of course, the born child will naturally follow his father. Even the liberation of New China has not changed this situation. In feudal times, it was a symbol of male chauvinism. With the gradual loss of time, it has gradually developed into the custom that children take their father's surname. Over time, the people of China take this for granted.

In fact, the law does not clearly stipulate whether the child takes the father's surname or the mother's surname. There are no legal restrictions, and the surname of a child is entirely up to parents. In fact, this custom has undergone great changes in modern times. Many people in modern times have abandoned such a wrong idea.
