People in China like to carry on the family line. Why have children?

People in China like to carry on the family line. Why have children? The tradition of China people is that we must have a son, because a son can carry on the family line for himself. He worked hard all his life and earned so much money to build a house, so all these things need someone to inherit. If no one inherits, then all we have done is not in vain. There is also the reason why we want children, because if we are old and unable to make money, there will be no one to serve us and no one to take care of us when we are sick. This is the meaning of having children. Children carry on the family line for us, and someone can wait on us in front of us. These are the meanings of having children.

Inherit our property. We have children and let them inherit our property. Everything we do is for the children. If we have no children, no one will inherit our things. Then everything we do is in vain. Shall we give them to others? Therefore, everything we do is to have children for our future generations, that is, to let children inherit our blood, our property and everything, and all our things must be inherited by children. This is the meaning of having children.

When we don't have the ability to make money, although we made a lot of money and built many houses when we were young, we will never make money one day. When we don't have the ability to make money, our children will grow up and then our children will be able to take care of us. So this is also the meaning of having a child, and it is also the son of Yangxian County. When we are old, we take care of our lives and are unable to make money.

Generally speaking, we have said that the purpose of carrying on the family line is to let children inherit their own blood, take care of us with the inherited property, and inherit the blood for us, and flourish. These are all our children. We have worked hard all our lives, earned so much money and built so many houses. Someone has to keep accounts, or are we wasting our time? It is meaningless to work so hard to make money to build a house. If these are not hereditary, then it is also meaningful for us to have children. Let the children inherit our things, inherit our blood, take care of us and die for us. These are the meanings of our children.
