What is it runs in the family?

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are simply the intergenerational relationship between grandparents, fathers/mothers and children. This relationship is widely used in China culture. On the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and other festivals, people will pay more attention to family ties and emphasize family inheritance. In this intergenerational chain, grandpa/grandma is the representative of traditional culture, representing the roots of the family and the inheritance of culture; Parents are the core and inheritor of the family; Children and grandchildren are the future and hope of the family.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is gradually formed through long-term common life. The words and deeds of ancestors have an important influence on future generations, making them understand the traditional culture and values of the family; And future generations can also provide more care and material help for grandparents. In this process of intergenerational relations transformation, everyone will have an impact on families and clans, making intergenerational relations more harmonious. Of course, this relationship may also bring some contradictions or conflicts, but in the concept of traditional culture, family unity is more important than personal small interests.

In modern society, with the improvement of living standards, the fate relationship between people is gradually alienated. But in the intergenerational chain of three generations, we can find the inheritance of family traditions and culture, as well as a strong sense of belonging and cohesion. Therefore, in family education, we might as well think more about communication and understanding between generations, so as to establish closer contact and interaction between grandparents and grandchildren, and inherit and carry forward family culture and spirit.
