What the hell is that generation?

For example, you have an older brother who raised a child at the age of 20, and your brother raised a child at the age of 40. Although your child is much older than your brother's child, because he is your brother, your child should call your brother's child "cousin", which is the seniority. Beg.

Hello dear I'm glad to answer this question for you, I hope it can really help you! Generation, the lineage between families, relatives and friends. It is mainly divided into elders (great-grandparents, great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, etc.), peers and juniors.

1.The relatives of the ancestors, according to the scope of the clan relatives in ancient times, started from the ancestors. The direct ancestors above the high ancestor are called distant ancestors, ancestors, ancestors, and originators (nose, meaning beginning).

1) Ancestor: In ancient times, the broad sense refers to all male ancestors above the father's generation, and the narrow sense refers to the grandfather. (2) Grandfather:

It is also known as "royal father", "eldest father", and "grandfather". In ancient times, "Gong", "Taigong", and "Weng" could also be used to refer to grandfathers; Nowadays, the most common term for grandfather is "grandpa". (3) Grandmother:

It can also be called "the eldest mother", "the queen mother", and "heavy quiet and early kindness". And because the ancients had wives and concubines, grandmothers were divided into "Ji grandmother", "concubine grandmother", and "concubine grandmother". The name of grandmother is common in ancient and modern times.

4) Po: It is a very common name for adult women in ancient times, and it can also be used to call grandmother. (5) Grandma:

It is the common name for grandmother today, and it was used later in ancient times. As a title, "filial piety rock milk" was first used as a nursing mother, and later used to call the mother, and as a broader name for married women. (6) Cousin grandfather, grandfather, uncle, etc

These are the appellations for the grandfather's brothers. (7) Cousin grandmother, grandmother, aunt, uncle, uncle, grandmother, etc.: These are the titles of grandfathers, brothers, and wives.

The above is the answer to the question for you, I wish you a happy life and a happy day!

1. The generation is determined when the ancestors compile the genealogy, or the branch continues from the genealogy, and the arrangement is often reflected in the name of the person. Generally speaking, those who determine the generations by the characters will put these generations after the surname, such as Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xuesi, and Zhang Xueming. From the royal family to the common people, there are generations.

2. However, the generations of ordinary people are not particularly particular, such as Bai Xiaowen, the son of Bai Jiaxuan and Bai Xiaowu brothers in "White Deer Plain", the word "filial piety" is to take words such as loyalty and filial piety, and there is no particularly strict history of generational words. Another example is that in the names of our fathers, the words used in the generations are generally used with better meanings.

3. Under this clan concept, the general ranking is mainly reflected in the men, and the women are not included in the genealogy, so they are not adopted. Nowadays, many sisters in families seem to use the word generation, but generally only choose the same word to use among the sisters to indicate the sisterhood, and there is no meaning of order. The characters are arranged in a certain order within the clan, and are not just chosen by parents or themselves.

4. The genealogy of the line of the word school is used to strengthen the patriarchal system, so its words also fully reflect this purpose, there are three main categories, one is the virtue or auspicious words, such as: virtue, benevolence, Ming, filial piety, blessing, Lu, auspicious, auspicious, virtuous, etc.; The second category is the words that hope for the continuation and prosperity of the clan, such as: Yong, Chuan, Chang, Sheng, Xing, Extended, Inherited, Inherited, etc.; The third category is the words that remember the ancestors and praise the kindness of the emperor, such as:

Ze, Zu, Xian, Rong, En, Xi, Qi, Xian, etc.

5. The genealogy of the line of the family is a particularly important content in the family tree, which is generally formulated by a celebrity in the family, compiled into a few auspicious words, and some literati even wrote it into a poem, such as the line of the genealogy of the Tang family in Zhejiang is "Fu Lu Yongchanglong, and the good end of the world, the wisdom of Rui Ning Cong"; The lineage character school of Hubei's "Wang's Genealogy" is "Zhengda and bright, the first is the last, the world is extended, and the Qi family has you."

In China, the traditional concept of generation of the Han nationality has existed for a long time, with itself as the center, with four generations of elders and four generations of younger generations, forming a "nine clans" blood relationship of "great ancestor, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, person, son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson, and great-grandson", which is the nine levels. If you link the collateral blood relationship with the in-law relationship, a huge kinship system is formed.

Only a subset of them are selected here to show their hierarchical relationships.

The first layer: grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother (second generation).

The second layer: father, mother, uncle, aunt, father-in-law, mother-in-law (elder).

The third layer: (self) brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, cousin, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law (peers).

Fourth layer: sons, daughters, nephews, nephews, nephews, nephews

Fifth layer: grandchildren, granddaughters, grandchildren, granddaughters, nephews, granddaughters, granddaughters-in-law (late second generation).

Kinship titles are divided by generation, not limited by age, the elder brother is a few years older than the younger brother, the elder brother's children are a few years older than the younger brother's children, after a few generations, the descendants of the gate and the descendants of the small door, the same generation may be dozens of years apart, and it does not affect the generational relationship, often there will be a grandson with a long beard or a grandfather in his arms. Therefore, the Han people often say that "the door turns to the junior".

In fact, when it comes to seniority, there is a lot of knowledge in it.

The first case, by age. Generally speaking, if the age difference is greater than ten years (12 years old), you can call each other by elders, so that there is actually a sense of respect for others, in fact, it is only twelve years old and a generation, a little exalted to each other, which is a general principle. Of course, if the other party is reasonable, he will often say, we are the same generation, just call brother (sister).

The second case, according to social relations. For example, if B and A's father-in-law C used to be colleagues, and now A has entered this unit again, although the age difference between A and B is not very large, but because B and his father-in-law C have worked together, under normal circumstances, B and C should not be brothers and sisters, then A should call B an elder on most occasions. If A and B are called brothers again, then C will be very unhappy when he hears it.

In the third case, according to blood relations. For example, if A and B are close in age, but B and A's grandfather are cousins, then A should generally call B his cousin and never be called brothers.

Fourth, it contains empty cases and special circumstances。In general, among strangers, middle-aged and young women do not like to be addressed by others (with the exception of the large age difference), while middle-aged and older men prefer to be addressed by each other as elders. Therefore, in strange occasions, addressing women as elders and men as peers can sometimes cause unhappiness to the other party.

If you don't have the above factors, then it depends on your age. Generally speaking, the difference of 20 years is a proper uncle and aunt. The difference is less than 5 years, so it doesn't matter if you can be considered casual among your peers.

Answer: Dig between 5 and 20 years old, pay attention to the size of the elder and younger. Of course, this is also a vague concept for reference, and it is not possible to treat math problems with the attitude of "years and years", and in addition, the feelings of the person being called should be properly considered according to the occasion. Otherwise, it will be a joke.

The above is mine.
