There are far fewer people with their mothers' surnames than men's surnames. Is it really that important to have their last name?

In fact, according to the tradition in China, most families take their father's surname, but there are also a few families whose children take their mother's surname.

The paternal surname and the maternal surname are similar in nature, but the general family is fragile and traditional. Earlier, China experienced matriarchal clan society, and then all mothers were taken as a group, and all children took their mother's surname. Later, after social reform, it became a patriarchal society, and children took their father's surname.

In fact, it is sexist for early children to take their father's surname or mother's surname, because people think that women are talented without virtue. Many women are stuck at home, sitting in good girls, while men go out to study and work to earn money. In most families in ancient times, the mother was a housewife and the father earned money outside.

Actually, I don't think it's a problem to have anyone's last name. Both father and mother love their children very much. There is no need to argue too much about names. In many families, if two children are born, one takes the father's surname and the other takes the mother's surname, but in some one-child families, father and mother are very loving, which will be reflected in the child's name.

There is not much difference between father's surname and mother's surname in essence, but many families still have genealogy. In genealogy, most children take their father's surname, which really shows another nature. Now the pressure on boys is really great, and men need to bear a lot of economic burdens.

Now we advocate equality between men and women. Men and women should have equal status in the family, and there is no rigid requirement for surnames. The society is progressing, and the thoughts of the older generation have been gradually changed. Many people of the older generation chose to accept the development of modern society. As long as a family is harmonious and happy, it is not important to create an atmosphere of parental love and family harmony for children. It is important to create a good atmosphere for children at home.
