Introduction to the specific differences between clan relatives and clan relatives, and the grand banquet of thousands of people to worship ancestors

As the times have developed, people of our generation, especially those in cities, only have the only concept of relatives that they have: Grandpa, Dad, and Grandpa, Mom, and me. These two lines are straight lines. However, in some places in our country, relatives must be recognized as kin, that is, everyone in a large family with the same surname can have relatives. This is why the saying of favoring sons over daughters means ending the relationship without giving birth to a son, because if you give birth to a daughter, you will have to marry into another family, and no one in your own family will inherit it. So today let’s talk in detail about who is bigger, clan or clan relatives? What a difference!

Introduction to the specific differences between clan and clan relatives

clan refers to relatives of the same clan. The saying comes from "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period·Da Le": "Therefore, one can listen to the government, enjoy the monarch and his ministers, and be harmonious with far and near, talking about the head of Guizhou, and uniting the clan." It is one of the classifications of relatives in ancient my country, the other is foreign relatives and wife relatives.

Clan relatives are relatives of the same clan.

(1) Male blood relatives originating from the same ancestor. Such as great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandson, great-great-grandson, etc.

(2) Collateral (male) lineage. Such as great-grandfather, ancestor, brother, ancestor, father, brother, brother, uncle, uncle, disciple, son, son, grandson, etc.

(3) The spouse of the male blood relative of the clan, that is, the woman who marries into the clan. Such as great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, daughter-in-law, etc.

(4) Unmarried women of this sect. Such as unmarried third sisters, unmarried second sisters, unmarried cousins, unmarried biological sisters, unmarried daughters, unmarried nieces, etc.

Clan relatives are relatives with foreign surnames within the five services. Clan members are not members of the same family. All relatives in the five servers who are related to the family are considered lineage members. If they are relatives of the same family, they are called "clan relatives".

Clan relatives must be directly descended from the same surname. Clan relatives are included in clan kin.
