What to do when the wives of ancient clans gave birth to two sons and split up the family

The ancient Chinese inheritance law is a combination of elder inheritance and scoring inheritance, the general family is divided, if there are brothers n people, the property is often divided into n + 1 shares, the eldest son gets two shares, the other brothers get a share, if there is a widow and minor siblings, but also divide some shares, these people's lives and their share have the eldest son to help manage.

There are also more than ten generations that are not separated.

Only the monarch inherits the eldest son, because the country cannot be divided, but the monarch also has to give his younger brothers titles and fiefs.

When it comes to patriarchy, it does not talk about special and practical situations

The so-called eldest son is not only the eldest son, but also the eldest one, and naturally the eldest one should be the head of the family When the eldest son dies, the eldest son who established the eldest son is regarded as the eldest grandson

Of course, the role of human affection, the consideration of intelligence, is not so absolute in any era, but it is logically so.

According to the history I know, there are different habits in different periods. In the early days, the elder brother ended up with the younger brother, and later the son inherited the father's business, and the eldest son was not inherited by the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson had to be inherited by the second brother.

Only the emperor's clan is the clan, do you mean the emperor?

The words of the people. Naturally, it was divided equally.

The emperor of the Shang Dynasty was a brother to a brother, but this concept was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the elder system was still prevalent in ancient times.

The eldest son inherits the title and most of the family property, and a small part is inherited by the rest of the sons (depending on how their father divides it).

Generally, the eldest son is the heir to the family property, but there are special circumstances, such as the eldest son is a fool, and it may be the turn of the younger one if he is disabled or something.

During the Han Dynasty, the local vassal states were relatively powerful and did not obey the control of ****, so they implemented the Tui En Order, allowing the vassal states to divide their territories to their children, that is, to implement "separation", so that the local princes did not have the strength to fight against ****. In the same way, some wealthy families have relatively strong local power and are not easy to manage, so they let the common people divide their families and divide and rule, so as to facilitate governance and stability.

Because the division of the household can have more hukou, one household pays one household tax, and if it is divided into two households, it will collect two households' taxes, which can increase the tax revenue.

The reason why the ruler asked the people to divide the family:

1. Easy to manage and tax.

2. Avoid the formation of family forces in the local area and endanger the rule of the state.

When there is no separation, all the children are sorted together, and the male and female are separated. Generally, there is no division between the descendants, and only after the separation of the family is they separated. Some ** are sorted together by the generation of the entire clan, and they are also divided into men and women regardless of their descendants.

There are also clans that are more clearly divided into names, which distinguish the names of their concubines. That is to say, in the middle of the name, the word that symbolizes generation, is different. Just call the eldest sister and the second sister or something, just call it according to the ranking.

Women in ancient big families are actually considered political transactions [non-discrimination, facts], so their status is not high, and the title is ranked by age, so it is so troublesome not to be called, of course, the status of the concubine is indeed higher than that of the concubine, and the status of the concubine when marrying will be lower than that of the concubine [under normal circumstances]. In addition, the two room ladies and the long room ladies will not meet the long room lady, the second room of the long room, the second room of the lady, the third room of the lady called, the ancient family should also be harmonious. Will be called xx sister, xx sister.

The next person, the maid, will be called by the lady, generally by age, a few young ladies are called, although the concubine is born to the aunt, but also the miss. Or some will use the name of the young lady and the young master [Rubao Erye] to express closeness. And the status of the ladies is related to whether they are loved by the elders of the family [old lady, old lady], and there are also differences between these rooms, of course, the stronger the strength of the rooms, the higher the status.

It is recommended to read the Dream of Red Mansions and other families**, which will deepen your understanding.

I think it should be, for example, the eldest daughter from the big house. Called the eldest lady. The second daughter from the long house is called the second lady. The eldest daughter from the second room. Call it the second eldest lady, like this.

Forehead.. Haven't studied high school history yet? The son-in-law and daughter-in-law were born to the wife. The concubines are all concubines. All ladies from big to small platoon! Naturally, the concubine is more noble than the concubine!

Because it's a clan here.

From marriage is the meaning of marriage, and the female brother is the meaning of the younger sister, and the online material says: In order to maintain the pure aristocratic blood ruled by blood relatives, the ruler stipulates that the first king dies and is succeeded by the eldest son; If there is no eldest son, it is supplemented by the son born to the daughter of the wife and the daughter of the marriage (of course, it is also pure noble blood) ......

Because it is of aristocratic blood, it cannot be the son of a concubine who marries, but the son of the sister-in-law's sister.

The daughter brother of the wife's marriage: the sister of the wife's marriage.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, the patriarchal system was perfected, so it was the most typical and strict. During this period, the patriarchal system was characterized by a strict distinction between the descendants and the establishment of the priority of the eldest son. Within the clan, there are large and small clans, all of which have the main descendants as their sons, and the sons of the clans have special powers, and the members of the clan must respect the sons of the clans.

The primogeniture system is at the heart of the patriarchal system. In order to maintain the pure aristocratic blood of blood relatives, the ruler stipulated that the eldest son would succeed to the throne after the death of the first king; If there is no eldest son, it is supplemented by the son born to the daughter of the wife and the daughter of the marriage (of course, it is also pure noble blood) ......If there is no such mother and brother of pure aristocratic blood, they have to choose the eldest among the sons born to the concubines, and the sages of the same age are chosen, and the same virtuous and virtuous are determined by divination. The eldest son gave the land and official positions to his brothers.

In ancient times, the marriage of daughters was accompanied by the marriage of daughters and many women, so the sister of the wife was also his wife, so he had a pure-blood relationship with the emperor.

The younger brother of the daughter of the wife who married the wife should be the sister of the wife who married with the wife.

The wife of the main house is the sister of the maidservant.

The maid who followed when the eldest wife got married.

The eldest wife is called a concubine. It doesn't matter if the father is a concubine or a concubine.

Because it was the foundation of the ancient patriarchal system.

The patriarchal system was a system in which the royal nobility distributed state power according to blood relations in order to establish hereditary rule. It is characterized by the integration of the clan organization and the state organization, and the complete unity of the patriarchal and political hierarchies.

According to the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty, the clans were divided into large and small clans. King Zhou called himself the Son of Heaven and was known as the great sect of the world. The sons of the Son of Heaven other than the eldest son were made princes.

The princes were small sects to the Son of Heaven, but they were large sects in his fiefdoms. The other sons of the princes were given the title of princes. Doctor Qing was a small sect to the princes, but he was a large sect in his estate.

The same is true from doctors to scholars. Therefore, the eldest son of the nobles is always a large clan (zongzi) of different ranks. The Great Sect not only enjoyed the right to rule over the members of the clan, but also enjoyed political privileges.

Later, the rulers of various dynasties reformed the patriarchal system and gradually established a feudal patriarchal system composed of political power, clan power, divine power, and husband power.

The purpose of the patriarchal system was to keep the political privileges, titles, and property rights of the slave-owning aristocracy from being dispersed or weakened, and at the same time to maintain order within the ruling class and to strengthen the rule over slaves and commoners. The patriarchal system had a great influence on later generations, and the core was the system of primogeniture, that is, the eldest son born to the wife was the legal heir to the throne.

It was only in the last years of the Shang Dynasty that the system of succession was fully established. The West Monday was established at the very beginning"Establish a son to be long and not virtuous, and to establish a son to be noble but not long"The patriarchal system of succession was further completed.

The so-called "son-in-law" is the son born to the wife (who must not be a concubine) that the Ming media is marrying. There is a big difference between the status of a son-in-law and a son of a concubine (the son of a non-wife). Under normal circumstances, the heirs of the family business are all sons-in-law.

The eldest son is not necessarily a son-in-law, and the status of the son-in-law must be very high among the sons in the family. The first son born to the wife is called the eldest son. The "eldest son" in the "primogeniture" system refers to this.

The status of the eldest son is the highest among the sons, and it is most obvious in the family of the emperor and general.
