What do you mean by eight generations of relatives?

Eight generations of relatives are the kinship between grandparents and grandchildren. It originated from the ancient family system in China and is an important part of China culture. In the traditional family structure, eight generations are close relatives in the family, especially in marriage and inheritance.

Eight generations of parents have profound historical inheritance and cultural connotation in the traditional culture of China. In the custom of China, the appellation of eight generations of relatives varies from region to region. For example, in Jiangnan, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are called "houses that continue from top to bottom", that is, "houses that continue their sons". In the north, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are called "aunt's family" or "the same clan".

Although many new family structures have emerged in modern society, the traditional eight generations living under one roof in China is still very important. It is not only a treasure in China culture, but also a reflection of the deep relationship between the elders and the younger generation in the family. No matter where and on what occasions, we should cherish the relationship with our eight generations of relatives, inherit and carry forward the traditional culture and inherit the fine traditions of the Chinese nation.
