    Because the ancient ideas are deep-rooted, and secondly, the countryside needs a lot of labor, so it is hoped that there will be more sons.

    As the saying goes, "Many sons are blessed." "In the traditional Chinese concept, it is categorically incomprehensible to have a child and not raise it.

    In the previous agrarian society, the cost of living was small, and the people mainly relied on cultivated land to survive, mainly manual work, and many sons were multiple men, and many people who did manual work would receive more grain.

    Moreover, it used to be patriarchal, and the daughter married the man, and he did multiple jobs. Moreover, if you add a son to a household, many sons will have grandchildren in the future, and the people will prosper.

    Then there is the legacy of an agrarian society. The cost of childcare in an agrarian society is almost zero, and having an extra son is a big deal to remove the lid of the pot and add a scoop of water, but the benefits are very high。When you grow up to a few years old, you can go to herd sheep and pigweed, and no matter how bad it is, it will be a sum of money to sell.

    Grow up, in the best case, if the son mixes up, then the whole family will be upgraded.

    Medium, the son is also a strong laborer, his own family can open more fields, fight for more water, in the worst case, the son becomes a gangster, that can also threaten the neighbors and clans not to fight their own ideas, no matter what, he can help when his own family fights with other families. You say, who wouldn't do such a profitable thing? Correspondingly, the families with fewer sons suffer all kinds of losses.

    Therefore, due to the formation of men's innate factors and acquired concepts, the concept of having more children and more blessings is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and still exists to this day. One of the ancient people's concept was that the more sons there were, the more prosperous the people were, and the more blessed they would be in the future, and the family would be able to unite and be happy. Now I think that these are all blessings, blessing some newcomers, and mostly bless the parents of those newcomers.

    Therefore, in rural China, there is still the idea of "more children and more blessings".

    It is indeed a good thing to have more children, more children and more blessings, more people are powerful, and there are people to do things; It has a great effect on the continuation of future generations and avoids the loss of independence; There is competition in the growth process, which is conducive to the growth of children; conducive to the care of the elderly; It has made great contributions to social development.

    Extend. Having more children and more blessings is the traditional thinking of the ancestors of various families in our country, and it is the only truth that can be discussed. When the parents are old, the ability of each child to provide for them is also several times stronger.

    Even if you are sick, the burden on your children is relatively small. In addition, when most of the only children appear, the more serious problem is that a couple has to support 4, 6 or even 8 elderly people, so that young people will not be able to bear such a burden, resulting in higher family conflicts and divorce rates, and more problems will arise in the community. One child is at far greater risk than several!

    For example, if a child has an accident, is seriously ill, or is imprisoned, once it appears, there is zero hope for the future of the family, and the whole family begins to wither from here. The disillusionment of parents' only hope also affects a series of problems such as parents' health.

    Families with many children are lively, there are many stories, and of course, there are many contradictions. But in general, the family happiness index is usually higher than that of an only child. As long as one of the children is promising, it is also a common phenomenon to bring the other children to be rich together.

    Playing and laughing since childhood, angry and reconciled, happy and laughing together, trying to deal with problems while trying to deal with problems by themselves, the whole process of children's growth, has completed the problem of dealing with relationships between people, and has carried out a long exercise in advance for the future to enter the society and form a family, so many children with many brothers and sisters have a high happiness index in the future.

    Hello, I think it's not a good thing to have more children, because too many children are more stressful, and now young people don't want to have children, and there are very few people who have a second child, and the older generation of people in the past have a lot of children, and the era of having more children has passed, because the life of people in the past was relatively simple. As long as the stomach is full, and the parents don't worry too much about the children, the children will grow up, but the children raised now will pay more. If a family has three or four children, it may be difficult to afford it if the financial ability is not good.

    If you don't take into account the financial burden, having more children is really a good thing. It may not be very common at first, but when you get old, you will get a lot of children's Qiaohuai.

    1: I often say that you have something to rely on when you are old, and you will understand when you are old.

    We often mention that we have something to rely on when we are old, and no matter who we are, we hope that we can have someone to rely on when we are old. Just imagine that when you get old, many children are surrounded by you, which is actually a very heartwarming thing. My father and four brothers took turns to take care of my grandfather before, and the expenses were also shared.

    2: The reunion dinner for the New Year is lively and lively, and it is good to feel that there are many people.

    The reunion dinner for the New Year must be a family together, and it seems a little lonely when one or two are born. After giving birth to three or four children, you will understand that it is good to have more people when you come home for the Chinese New Year. Eating hot pot at the dinner table for a while, and occasionally chatting about family anecdotes, you will feel happy in an instant.

    3: Children will give you an incentive to earn money to support your family.

    One or two children may not matter, but when there are many children, the financial pressure will make you breathless. That said, it will also give you an incentive to go the extra mile to earn money to support your family.

    4: Outsiders can't envy them, and there are many children. There is also the benefit of having more children. Because the children are all together, it is very lively.

    But compared to families with fewer children, life will be better when the children are young, so there are certain pros and cons of having more children and fewer children. But now society can have two children, one child, the child's personality is not very good, will feel very withdrawn, have two children, the child has company, the personality will become better, choose to have two children is just right.

    Having more children and grandchildren is certainly a blessing, and every family expects more of their own children. In today's society, many families generally choose to have only one child, or not to have children, because the economic pressure of this society is too great. Nowadays, many families, if there are two children in a family, are very rare.

    Therefore, in a family, if there are many children and grandchildren, it is a blessing invisibly. Therefore, we must cherish such a life and cherish a life of many children and many blessings.

    Families with many children and grandchildren can feel stressful because they need to be financially supported. However, in today's society, it is not easy to raise a child, so more money is needed to raise a child. Many people will reject this kind of life at first, thinking that a life of many children and grandchildren requires more effort.

    Now everyone in this society needs to face life is so tired, raising one more child must also make people feel invisible tired.

    A family with many children and grandchildren actually depends on the economic conditions of the family. If the family's economic conditions are not good, a family with many children and grandchildren may not be a noisy affair. If a family has more children, there will definitely be a lot of small problems.

    Especially in some places where the family conditions are not good, if there are too many children in the family, there will definitely be a lot of fighting. Facial disturbance can cause headaches for the elders in the family, so if a family with many children and grandchildren is financially restricted, there will be no happiness at all.

    Whether a family has many children and grandchildren is blessed depends on whether the children and grandchildren of the family are filial piety. If all the children in this family are very filial, it must be very blessed. After all, in a family, filial piety is the most important thing.

    First, children are meant to bring us good fortune and good fortune. Second, now the country's birth rate is decreasing, the aging is serious, the country has changed from family planning to open the second and third children, and in the future, there will be a policy tilt for families with more children, so now don't look at how high the cost of raising a child is, the make-up class is serious, and the competition is fierce, this phenomenon, with the development of Chinese society, will change in a few years, in fact, there are already a lot of supporting measures now, but it has not yet worked; Third, no one wants a house in many places in the future, so it is better to have more children than to buy more houses and have money, and when you are older, you will be very happy with children and grandchildren. "The so-called eugenics is actually relative, for people with relatively wealthy family conditions, who have given birth to multiple children, each child can give him a good education, and there are sufficient funds to cultivate, and the children who grow up under this condition will not be mediocre in the future.

    However, if the family conditions themselves are very poor, even if only one child is born, all the economic resources are given to this child, and the children raised in this environment will be even more lacking in the sense of competition.

    Because he doesn't need competition, all family resources belong to him, and how important the sense of competition is, everyone must also understand, it can be said that people with a strong sense of competition will have more prominent personal development in the future!

    It is often said that having more children is more blessed, and it is good to have more children, but the premise is that the children's education level, three views are correct, and they will be grateful. The first is the burden of the family, and now the social material is extremely rich, which also leads to the high cost of raising children, and it is difficult for many salaried people to afford to give birth to 2 or 3 (many people cite slippery celebrations and say that giving birth to one is also health and two are also rushing, and those who really dare to give birth are absolutely not difficult to accompany them); Secondly, the issue of education, it is difficult for most wage earners to achieve both family and career, and most of the time has to be devoted to work, the reason is simple, more and more only children have become the backbone of the family, the old, the young, and the middle have no brothers.
