Why is the feudal thought of son preference particularly serious in rural areas?

In rural areas, there is a custom of "30-night lights and 40-night fires", which means that ancestral graves are lit at 30 o'clock on New Year's Eve, and the ancestral graves are lit at night on New Year's Eve (called 40 nights) in the first month 15, to show the sacrifice to the deceased relatives of the older generation.

Sacrifice is a traditional custom of China people, but in many rural areas, it is obviously excessively feudal. For example, girls in rural areas can't go to graves, which is obviously the inheritance of feudalism.

There is a way for rural people to swear when quarreling, which is called "broken incense". The so-called incense refers to burning incense and fire for rented graves, that is, offering sacrifices. Broken incense means no son, and after it is amazing, many people will say that there are no people who burn incense and fire for ancestral graves during the holidays. So it means that some rural people can't go to their ancestral graves, and only girls from peerless families can go to the graves. This is the main reason why most rural people try their best to have boys.

With the development and progress of society, the concept of rural people has gradually changed. In many rural areas, sweeping graves is gender-neutral. It is worth advocating that people, regardless of sex, age and age, go to the grave together, which is lively and happy, highlighting the prosperity and harmony of the family.
