Patriarchal system influences traditional society.

1. Keep the political privileges, titles and property rights of slave owners and nobles from being dispersed or weakened.

2, is conducive to maintaining order within the ruling class, strengthen the rule of slaves and civilians.

Influence on later generations:

1, the patriarchal clan system led to the widespread implementation of the principle of paternal descent in China.

The so-called patrilineal list means that the blood group completely excludes the status of female members in the lineage arrangement, and women have no inheritance rights. Family relations in the Western Zhou Dynasty are closely related to the patriarchal clan system, which is manifested in the concept of "patriarchal clan control, men are superior to women" and the inequality between husband and wife.

Male-dominated theory and male-dominated society have the way of "becoming a woman". In order to strengthen the husband's dominant position in the family, the rulers of Han dynasty also created the theory of "husband as wife", which was summarized as "seven women" by Chinese and Confucianism, all of which violated the patriarchal clan system principle.

Women have no right to inherit family property, "water spilled by married daughters". After marriage, a woman must take her husband's surname, so she cannot inherit her parents' property. There are family rules in some professional skills and techniques, such as "children don't pass on women, daughters-in-law don't pass on women".

2. Patriarchal system makes the family system prosperous.

The patriarchal clan system clearly embodies the strict clan system. In feudal society, clans were mainly embodied in the form of clans, and the basis of clan longevity was ancestral temple, genealogy and clan rights.

3. Patriarchal clan system leads to "isomorphism of family and country" in China.

The structure of the same family and country is the most distinctive structural feature of the patriarchal society, which has been preserved for a long time in the feudal society of China.

Family or family and country have the same sex in organizational structure, that is to say, regardless of country or family or family, its organizational system and power structure are strictly patriarchal. The isomorphism of home and country is embodied in "home is a small country and country is everyone".

Influence on the present society:

In fact, the patriarchal clan system is a group lacking self-awareness and a primitive organizational structure, but it is this primitive structure that still affects many aspects of society, politics and culture in modern China. If these fragments are pieced together, it is not difficult to find the spiritual roots of many so-called "China characteristics" phenomena.

1. Observing the life of modern society, it is still not difficult to find this moral sign and system. "Respecting the old and loving the young" seems to be a national virtue, but it is no different from "the monarch, the minister and the son" and "respecting the old".

Although modern society abolished the imperial system, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not so strong, but the moral relationship between father and son and respecting the elderly is still strong. This seemingly natural moral value is actually the same as the respect between the monarch and the minister.

2. Therefore, under this organizational system, the system of remonstration can be multiplied. As far as the remonstrance system is concerned, it is not patriarchal, but benevolence is the first, and the inferior can remonstrate. Therefore, it is obligatory. Even if the monarch, ministers, father and son, teachers and students violate the law, they will take the legal meaning as a pledge, which has become a unique system in China. On the other hand, the remonstrance system also standardized the emperor's letters, and lower-level officials could make laws in the DPRK to prevent the emperor from breaking the law.

Extended data:

The characteristics of patriarchal clan system:

Patriarchal clan system originated from the late primitive society. With the development of society, the long primitive matriarchal clan society was gradually replaced by paternal clan society, which finally established the dominant position of patriarchy in the family, and the history of Archaean ancestors "Anemarrhena asphodeloides" finally came to an end.

Families that prefer sons to daughters generally practice "polygamy", and they live apart from their wives. According to "Arbitrary", the situation of "polygamy" in three generations is like this: "The son of heaven married twelve, and the Xia system also married twenty-seven wives. The number of Yin people increased by 3,927, making 39 people and 8 1 person.

The patriarchal clan system in the Western Zhou Dynasty was closely combined with the enfeoffment system. The son of heaven is passed down from generation to generation according to the direct inheritance system, which is the "bulk" of the son of heaven. Other illegitimate children and second sons who can't inherit the throne are also royalty and princes, and the "small" is subordinate to the "big". These princes were also handed down from generation to generation according to the principle of the eldest son's inheritance, while non-firstborn sons were enfeoffed as QingDafu by princes.

Governors are "big" to these great doctors, and so on. There are scholars below the doctor, who are the bottom of the aristocratic class and are no longer enfeoffed. Under such circumstances, the patriarchal clan system based on the son of heaven has been formed nationwide.
