China is different from other human civilizations. It is a civilization centered on the Han nationality, which developed through Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in countries with obvious traces of clan society. It is precisely because of this that its clan blood relationship has a far-reaching impact on people's hearts. In addition, after the reform centered on "Zhou Gong made rites and music" closely combined the adherents of Xia Dynasty with the surrounding ethnic minorities to form the Han nationality, the influence of blood clan has been running through Chinese civilization and has never failed so far. This clan system in the pre-Qin period was to consolidate power, stabilize social order and unite relatives by blood relationship. Later, it penetrated into the whole civilization, from ordinary people to the royal family. It has become a standard for some traditional customs and even the formulation of national system policies. The significance now lies in continuing Chinese civilization and preserving people's traditional excellent virtues and customs. For example, the promotion of family virtues and self-cultivation advocated now are the embodiment and development of patriarchal clan system.
