In the traditional culture of China, why do children take their father's surname?

Taking a male surname is a tradition and rule left by our ancestors. Take the man's surname and no one will ask you why.

However, with the woman's surname, the father brought his son out and called him by name, just like a stepfather …

As a man, there are only two possibilities for me if I agree that children should take their female surnames.

First, the woman's family is particularly strong, leaving the house, driving, and paying a dowry, and I can't get a fart.

I can only tell the truth, for fear that people will kick me out. What the woman's family says is what it is, not to mention the child's surname. In fact, I can also be regarded as someone else's dog, and I can only be quiet. But come on, I won't be a useless person and become the son-in-law at the door. Therefore, when choosing a spouse, you will always bow your head and marry. But before I get married, I will try to improve myself.

Second, I am an orphan, and I am lonely in this world. I don't have to face my parents, my relatives and friends, and I don't have to go up the mountain to worship my ancestors on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It doesn't matter who the child's last name is. Unfortunately, I'm not. The bottom line between my child and my last name is non-negotiable. I have to face a lot of people.

I want to stand up straight and don't want to be pointed at by people around me. I want to live up to my ancestors and give me a man's body. I don't want to go out with my son, and I don't want to explain to curious people why my son's surname is different. Therefore, if I want to die, I have to have the child's surname and the woman's surname.

Then please divorce first. If the child is awarded to the woman, if you have the ability to change the child's surname, then change it. But if you want my permission, you can't even agree to kill me.
