Why did the ancient family law restrict people more than the national law?

First of all, compared with the family, the country is a very large area, and the country also contains so many families, so for the people of the whole country, what kind of mistakes they made and what kind of punishment they received will be considered more, rather than just considering a certain family. Or severely punish directly, in which case the people will not accept it. Only according to various reasons in the whole country can appropriate sentencing make people obey.

But for families, basically a family is a person with the same surname. Since childhood, in order to make the family members not make mistakes and make the whole family prosperous, it is natural to establish family law, but this family law is only for the children of the family. A family is very small and doesn't need to consider too many factors like a country, so maybe his ideas will be more harsh. Only in this way can the family feel the horror of family law, and they will not continue to make mistakes if they make mistakes. Not to the point of breaking the criminal law.

Moreover, in ancient times, for families, they actually paid more attention to face. Even the children of some ancient families may not report to the official first, but consider the internal handling of the family after making mistakes. Then why let the victim accept the disposal of his family? First of all, if you are a family member, there must be one thing to protect the family's face. The family's disposal is more specific and stricter than the national laws. Only in this way can the victim be convinced.

What's more, I think the most terrible thing in ancient families is not those who beat, scold and punish, but to expel people from the family. Under normal circumstances, this can't be done by national laws, but family law can. For the ancients, fallen leaves come back to their roots. In ancient times, their families were their roots. Being expelled from the family is equivalent to duckweed losing its place, so some ancient family laws are more binding on the people, but they also ensure the prosperity and development of a family. So it doesn't matter even if the family law is strict.
