Why has there not been a tradition of wives taking their husband s surname since ancient times?

Because the wife herself has her own surname, and if she wants to follow her husband's surname, she must have her husband's blood.

Because the status of women was relatively low before, now the pursuit of equality between men and women.

Because this is an era of equality between men and women, this approach does not conform to this thinking.

In ancient times, women were given the surname of the husband after marriage, and later as the addicts of women's status continued to improve, the tradition of the surname of the husband disappeared.

Because there have been acts of divorce in the past. If the wife takes her husband's surname, then after divorce, the wife will not take her husband's surname. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been no tradition of wives taking their husband's surname.

Because this tradition is a Japanese tradition, we don't have this tradition in China.

In ancient times, there were wives who would take their husband's surname, but in modern times, with the rise of feminism, this has not happened.

In fact, although this tradition has not been formed, in fact, after a woman marries, she almost follows her husband's surname.

Because as time goes by, the status of women is getting higher and higher, how can they follow the surname of men?

Because with the continuous development of society, the status of women continues to improve, in the pursuit of equality of all people, this kind of behavior of the surname of the husband is unequal, so there has been no tradition of the surname of the husband. In fact, in ancient society, because women's social status is relatively low, so women will follow their husband's surname after marriage, which is not only in ancient China, but also in many places There is this tradition, and even in modern times, there are still many countries, and when women get married, they will be given the surname of their husbands.

In ancient society, because of the influence of feudal ideology and the relatively clear hierarchy, there would be a big difference between surnames and first names. Some surnames will be more noble because the family is more powerful. At the same time, because of the hierarchical thinking of the ancient people, the surname was also divided into ranks, and for the family, the surname represents their rights and status, and is a symbol of status.

For everyone in the big family, because they are in a society where men are superior to women, many powerful men can take concubines. The status of concubines is generally relatively low, and if they are given the husband's surname, they will insult the reputation of the husband's family, so in ancient times, only the wife would be given the husband's surname. Moreover, for women with relatively low status, being given the husband's surname after marriage is actually a kind of promotion of their own status, and it is also a kind of respect for their husbands.

When these women die, their tombstones will also bear their husband's surname. The reason why this phenomenon has not continued is actually because with the continuous development of society and the continuous improvement of women's status, people are pursuing equality for all.

The surname of the husband is essentially an inequality in status, and it is a choice for women to have a low status. Therefore, with the continuous development of civilized society, in the environment of pursuing equality for all, this kind of behavior of giving a husband's surname will not be continued, and it will not be recognized.

Because with the derivation of Chinese culture, with the continuous evolution of Chinese customs, the development and formation of the Chinese family system has gradually been far away, and the traditional three views have also begun to change, and after the formation of new traditions, the repetitive laws have changed. With the complete disintegration of the ancient extended family system. These traditions have been gradually weakened, so that today they are completely gone.

Mainly because of the rise of liberalism.

Because the status of women has been improved later, and many women think that following their husband's surname is a manifestation of inequality, women nowadays pay attention to independence, so there has been no tradition of wives following their husband's surname.

This is a backward habit built on the patriarchal society in ancient times, and after the founding of New China, with the concept of equality between men and women, the old tradition has been abandoned.

Because in ancient times, it was a patriarchal society, so there was no such tradition.
