The feudal society in China is a society composed of patriarchal families, and patriarchal clan system is the most important. Their relatives include male descendants and their spouses below Gaozu, that is, the nine generations from Gaozu to Great-great-grandson, which are usually called the nine families of this clan. Relatives within this range, including immediate relatives and collateral relatives, are in mourning. Those who take care of their loved ones are more important, while those who take care of their loved ones are less important, in descending order. This is what the so-called "upper killing, lower killing and side killing" in the Book of Rites.
According to the length and thickness of mourning clothes, there are five kinds of mourning clothes, that is, the so-called five clothes: 1, which are decayed for three years, and the mourning clothes are made of extremely coarse raw hemp without sewing the edges and bottoms. 2, Cui Zi, sewing clothes and below with inferior coarse cloth. According to the length of mourning period, Cui Zi is divided into three years of Cui Zi, one year of Cui Zi, one year of Cui Zi, May of Cui Zi and March 5 of Cui Zi. In September, coarse cooked cloth is used for mourning. 4, Hong Xiao in May, with a slightly thick cooked cloth for mourning. In May and March, we mourned with a slightly fine cloth. Hemp is the lightest clothing, indicating marginal relatives.
In addition to the five clothes, the relatives of the same five ancestors are naked from their relatives, from their left arms, from their necks to their foreheads, and then wrapped in a bun. This musical instrument has been abandoned for a long time. At that time, people's naked mourning clothes were white scarves During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people wore plain clothes and covered their heads with ruler cloth. Six ancestors' relatives have no relatives. Therefore, The Book of Rites says, "The fourth generation slapped him, and his service was poor. Five generations are exempt, and the same surname is killed. Six generations of relatives are exhausted. "
The various clothing systems between relatives contained in the chapter of "Book of Rites, Mourning" were regarded as authoritative norms by later generations, which were followed from generation to generation, but they were also modified.
What do you mean by five clothes?
Originally, the five clothes referred to five kinds of filial piety, and later, the five clothes also referred to the five generations.
For example, in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, there is a saying that "five clothes are internal relatives", that is, with the above sentence, five generations are pushed up, starting with Gaozu, Gaozu, grandfather, father and self. All the people who are related by blood in these five generations are relatives, that is, people who share a Gaozu are relatives. From Gaozu to the Five Dynasties, they become five clothes. After five copies, there is no blood relationship and you can get married. Under normal circumstances, there are weddings and funerals at home, all of which are attended by people within the five clothes.
Blood relationship for more than five generations, no longer mourning for it, called clothing, also known as five clothing.
Among the nine clansmen, there are great-grandfather parents, great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, self, son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson. There are self, brother, cousin, second cousin, third cousin, sister, cousin, second cousin and third cousin. Around the vertical and horizontal nine families, the family structure diagram of the nine families and Five Blessingg was formed. From top to bottom are uncle's parents, uncle's parents, uncle's parents, grandparents' parents, great-grandfather's parents, aunts, cousins, grandfathers' aunts, grandfathers' aunts, grandfathers' aunts and so on. Counting down, there are nephews, nephews, nephews, nephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews. This is the panorama of Jiuzu and Five Blessingg.
China was a matriarchal clan society in ancient times, and later it entered a paternal clan society, so Five Blessingg naturally refers to the paternal family relationship. Based on myself, the last four generations, that is, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandparents, parents, the next four generations, sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-grandchildren, including myself, that is, a * * * is the ninth generation, that is, the ninth generation of this clan.
So how did the word five clothes come from?
Five clothes * * * have four meanings. The first type, according to the records of Shangshu Gong Yu and Guoyu Zhou Yu, takes the city as the center, every 500 miles as a set, followed by Dianfu in the state, Houfu outside the state, Hou Wei in Fu Bing, barbarians in Fu Yao and Rongdi. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is one ring to five rings.
Second, it was divided into five layers: emperor, vassal, Qing, doctor and scholar. They wear five-grade clothes, also known as five-grade clothes.
Thirdly, according to the relationship between relatives and friends, the five kinds of mourning clothes, from near to far, are shearing failure, Cui Zi, Dacheng, Xiaocheng and numbness in turn.
Fourth, oneself and four generations of ancestors are great-grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and fathers. They are five generations, so they are also called Five Blessingg.
And what we now think of as five clothes is the nine-clan five clothes mentioned at the beginning of this article. If it is not within the nine families, it will be five clothes, and then there is no need to mourn for it. Corresponding to the ancient saying of killing Jiuzu, there is a saying that it is calculated according to the five clothes of Jiuzu.
In addition, these five clothes were also incorporated into the law in the Jin Dynasty, that is to say, the closer the relationship between the five clothes, the heavier the punishment for the crimes committed by the members of the five clothes. The more distant the relationship, the lighter the punishment.
In family relations, Wufu refers to the intimate relationship between relatives, and the relatives in Wufu are relatively close. There are relatives who are married at home, and they all have to contact. Outside Five Blessingg, the kinship is far away and the blood relationship is weak. The world of the world can stop moving and consider intermarriage.
The ancient "five clothes" refer to five kinds of mourning clothes, which are mourning for the dead relatives and serving the relatives. Parents take heavy clothes, and those who are sparse take light clothes, which decreases in turn. Relatives with different blood ties wear different mourning clothes. According to the length and thickness of mourning clothes, mourning clothes are divided into five grades, and the order from relatives to relatives is: beheading, gathering, making great contributions, making little contributions and gathering hemp. In other words, after the death of relatives, according to the relationship between relatives and friends, who should wear what mourning clothes.
The present "five clothes" refer to the five generations and nine families that are interrelated: great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, self, son, grandson, great-grandson and great-grandson. All the people in this family outside these nine generations are "people with five clothes" and have a long relationship. That is to say, if you and yourself are a dot, you will have four generations (father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather) and four generations (son, grandson, great-grandson and great-grandson). If you exceed these four generations, your relationship is "five clothes." To put it bluntly, your grandfather's grandfather's generation is "five clothes", and your relationship is weak. You don't need to notify the family of weddings and funerals in the future.
Families with relatives in Wufu should inform each other and participate in weddings and funerals. Who has a happy event at home to accompany the ceremony and pay for help; Someone in his family died, and Dai Xiao attended the funeral as a relative. Relatives in Five Blessingg are closely related to the world, but they don't have to walk around outside Five Blessingg.
Only with the development of society, people at home now have their own homes, and many of them live and work in various places. It is rare for their brothers and sisters to get together, and it is even more rare for their families to get together. Now they are basically three generations of relatives, but not after three generations.
Wang Guowei pointed out in On the System of Yin and Zhou Dynasties that the system of Zhou Dynasty is characterized by:
"To see why Zhou decides the world, we must start with its system. The system of Zhou Dynasty was quite different from that of Shang Dynasty. On the one hand, the system of "establishing a son to establish a government" was born in patriarchal clan system and funeral system, on the other hand, it was born in feudal children system, and it was born in the system of monarch, minister and vassal. Second, the temple number system; Third, the unmarried surname system. These figures are the reasons why Zhou dominates the world. Its purpose is to accept morality and combine the emperor, princes, Qing Dynasty, doctors, scholars and ordinary people into a moral group. The original intention of Duke Zhou's production is really here. "
Wang Guowei explained that there are three main differences between the systems of Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty:
The first is the eldest son inheritance system, and the patriarchal clan system and funeral system derived from it, as well as the feudal system and the monarch-respecting system; The second is the ancestral temple system; The third is the unmarried surname system.
This system was used by the Zhou Dynasty to "discipline the world". The main purpose of these systems is to bring social relations into the moral category and form a subject of ethical principles for different classes in the world, such as emperors, vassals, Qing Dynasty, doctors, scholars and common people, so as to govern the world.
The essence of the patriarchal clan system in the Zhou Dynasty mainly comes from a sentence in the Book of Rites:
"Don't be an ancestor, don't be a patriarch, you are a small patriarch. Some will never move, and some will move fifth. Those who will never move, after another son. Those who live in their footsteps will never move. Those who live in the back of the emperor's ancestors, those who move in the fifth place. To the ancestors. To the ancestors. Respect for ancestors, respect for ancestors. "
The so-called "other sons" here refer to other sons (including sons and illegitimate children) born to the emperor or prince who are different from the eldest son, that is, those sons who have no inheritance rights. Biezi, also known as Yu Zi and Zhi Zi. Biezi can also be divided into official positions and secular positions. Inheritance: refers to the descendants who inherit the position of the other son, that is, the eldest son and grandson of the other son. You, the father who died under the patriarchal clan system and lost his throne in the ancestral hall, should refer to the brothers here. Following you means inheriting the descendants of other sons and brothers. The bulk is passed down from generation to generation by the eldest son and grandson, which lasts for a long time and is called "immobile". Another son's brother is a branch of a family. After the Five Dynasties, their relationship with other sons has gone beyond the scope of the same clan, so they no longer worship the ancestors of other sons, but worship the ancestors of their own branch for filial piety. The eldest son inherits the throne and rules the people. This is the so-called scout. None of the sons except the eldest son had the right to inherit the throne, so the Zhou system separated these sons from the monarch and set up another system called patriarchal clan system. Although the big and small sects are relative, they are absolute to the son of heaven. Zhou Wang is a "big one" in the world, and the other illegitimate brothers are governors, which is a "small one". The vassal is "big" in his own country, and the rest of the sons and brothers are "small" for Dr. Qing. Dr. Qing is a "major" in his family, and the other common sons and brothers are "minors". A large number of small clans lead younger brothers, and emperors, princes, doctors (Qing) and scholars form a strict family-style ruling system. The whole passage means that if the other son is an ancestor, then these descendants of the other son are (big) factions and the descendants of his brother are small factions. Those who have never changed their ancestor worship for a lifetime, and those who have not changed their ancestor worship for five generations. Those who never change their ancestor worship are descendants of other sons (that is, large numbers).
In my understanding, Wufu is blood relatives within five generations, including paternal blood relatives and maternal blood relatives. However, most people are not very clear about the division and the beginning and end of the five clothes.
First, the paternal five clothes (also known as the family five clothes).
That is, count five generations up from yourself and five generations down. Counting yourself, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-grandfather are five generations. In other words, you are the fifth generation, and you are still in the fifth generation. Your son's sixth generation took off five clothes.
Similarly, count five generations from yourself. That is: self, son, grandson, great-grandson and great-grandson in five generations, great-grandson is still in five clothes, and the next generation and the sixth generation only take off five clothes.
Generally speaking, my father and son are the second clothes, grandfather and grandson are the third clothes, great-grandfather and great-grandson are the fourth clothes, and great-grandfather and great-grandson are the fifth clothes. The sixth service besides the fifth service is called taking off the fifth service.
Second, the matriarchal five clothes.
Matriarchal five clothes are generally ignored! Until recent decades, in order to improve the quality of the population, the state has made legal provisions on consanguineous marriage within three generations, which has aroused great concern.
Therefore, although the matriarchal five clothes are not as valued as the paternal five clothes, the three generations of matriarchal blood relatives have basically been valued and recognized by people.
That is, from grandpa's generation, mom, uncle and aunt are the second generation, and cousins are the third generation. Starting from my own generation, I am the first set, and counting my mother, uncle and aunt is the second set.
The so-called first generation relatives, second generation representatives, three generations and four generations can't recognize them. It refers to the relationship between matriarchal five clothes.
Before, I asked my cousins if their children were close relatives within three generations. I have also given people the wrong answer that they are close relatives within three generations. In fact, the children of cousins are the fourth generation, not close relatives within three generations. They can get married.
Some people may ask, how to explain the statement that one generation of relatives, two generations of representatives, three generations and four generations can't recognize it? Aren't the children of the second generation representatives and cousins the third generation? Isn't it a close relationship within three generations? This is a question of calculation order. The first generation of parents and the second generation of representatives mentioned here mean counting from the mother's generation.
Different from three generations of blood's calculation starting point. Three generations of blood should start with grandpa, who is the first generation, mother, uncle and aunt are the second generation, and cousins are the third generation.
Therefore, the marriage law stipulates that close relatives within three generations are cousins, and children are already the fourth generation. Although four generations have not taken off, collateral blood relatives within three generations are not close relatives.
According to the provisions of the marriage law, the close relatives of the fifth generation of the direct line and the third generation of the collateral line are forbidden to marry. Therefore, children of cousins can get married.
Because the branches of matriarchal Wufu are complicated and the surnames are also complicated, matriarchal Wufu is generally only a close relative within three generations, and the other three generations are basically ignored.
However, modern people know that children of uncles and aunts can't get married, that is to say, cousins who are related by blood can't get married. Because they are all it runs in the family.
Third, collateral blood relatives.
Collateral blood relatives refer to people who have the same blood source with themselves other than immediate family members. The first source is the sum of father and mother.
Lineal blood relatives mainly include parents, grandparents, grandparents, children, grandchildren and grandchildren.
Therefore, except for parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren and grandchildren, the rest are collateral blood relatives, including their own brothers and sisters.
Because the range of collateral blood relatives is relatively large, we only know collateral blood relatives within Er Fu and Sanfu.
1, brothers and sisters and themselves belong to their parents. I am the first clothes and my parents are the second clothes, so my brothers and sisters are collateral blood relatives within the second generation.
2. uncles, aunts, cousins and themselves belong to grandparents. I am the first dress, my father, uncle and aunt are the second clothes, and my grandparents are the third clothes. These blood relatives are all within three generations, so I am collateral blood relatives with my uncles, aunts and cousins within three generations.
3. uncles, aunts, cousins and themselves belong to grandparents. I am the first clothes, my mother, uncle and aunt are the second clothes, my grandparents are the third clothes, and these blood relatives are all matriarchal in three generations. Therefore, I am collateral blood relatives with my uncle, aunt and cousins within three generations.
There are only two purposes to understand the five clothes: one is affection, and the other is affection.
Family, whenever and wherever, as long as you know that you haven't taken off your five clothes, you are very close in the world.
Kinship mainly refers to the question of whether you can get married.
Generally speaking, it is forbidden to intermarry within five generations of the direct line and within three generations of the collateral line, and the marriage law also clearly stipulates it.
Because the winding five clothes are derived from both paternal vines and maternal vines. Therefore, to understand the five clothes, we must understand the upper and lower branches of these two vines.
The "five clothes" asked by the subject refers to the five generations of the family.
First of all, what is the "five clothes" in history? It is a system of mourning for the relatives of the deceased in Chinese etiquette, which has a history of thousands of years. It stipulates that the mourning clothes are different between relatives with different kinship, and accordingly, the relatives are divided into five grades, from relatives to relatives, namely Cui Zi, Dagong, Hong Xiao and Hema. In other words, it stipulates who should wear what clothes when relatives and friends die.
Secondly, which five generations do the "five clothes" refer to? Starting from myself, it's a generation. Pushing up, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-grandparents are five generations. Starting from myself, I, my son, grandson, great-grandson and great-grandson are also living under the same roof for five generations.
The subject and He are contemporaries, definitely with the same surname, but there are also cousins with different surnames. It doesn't mean that people of the same age don't have five clothes, from hundreds of families with the same surname in a stockade to the same surname and root in a region or a country. As people often say, "one stick can't wake up the edge", there is no blood relationship between the five generations.
First, the evolution of the clothing system in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the civilized era
1. Costume in Xia Dynasty was a ruling system.
2. Clothing of Shang Dynasty
Yin Shang inherited the costume system of Xia Dynasty, but it also evolved. Implement the system of internal and external service: the internal service is the activity area of the merchant's own family, and the external service is a subordinate country outside the merchant's family. The Shang king handled the affairs of his family and surrendered foreigners through two different management systems. As a result, the Shang king controlled the actual power of the alliance and formed a relationship between ruling and being ruled with the vassal States.
3. The meaning of feudal system and patriarchal clan system in Zhou Dynasty has changed.
Because of the mature internal and external service system in the Zhou Dynasty and the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was changed. With the expansion of the territory, the Zhou Dynasty adopted the feudal system and patriarchal clan system. The meaning of clothing has changed, from the original ruling system to a system that is different from kinship by blood relationship. That is, the ancient emperors, princes, ministers, doctors, scholars, great-grandfathers, great-grandfathers, fathers and themselves. Feed on blood. This is close to China's modern clothing system.
Second, the development of clothing system in feudal society
1. Paternal blood five clothes
The feudal society in China is a society composed of patriarchal families, and patriarchal clan system is the most important. Their relatives include male descendants and their spouses below Gaozu, that is, the nine generations from Gaozu to Great-great-grandson, which are usually called the nine families of this clan. Relatives within this range, including immediate relatives and collateral relatives, are in mourning. Those who take care of their loved ones are more important, while those who take care of their loved ones are less important, in descending order. This is what the so-called "upper killing, lower killing and side killing" in the Book of Rites. Clothing can be divided into five types according to the length and thickness of mourning clothes.
2. Institutionalization of five clothes
1. bereavement system in Chinese etiquette. It stipulates that the mourning system is different among relatives with different kinship, and accordingly, the relatives are divided into five grades, from relatives to relatives, namely Cui Zi, Dagong, Hong Xiao and Hema.
2. The complete combination of Confucian etiquette system and legal application is another major development of Confucian feudal law since the Han Dynasty advocated "the unity of etiquette and law".
3. The law of the Western Jin Dynasty incorporated the system of "five clothes" into the code for the first time, as a standard to judge whether it constitutes a crime and measure the severity of the crime. This is the principle of "quasi-five-clothes control crime", which is not only applicable to the situation of mutual infringement and injury between relatives, but also used to determine support and inheritance. From the law of the Western Jin Dynasty to the law of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the crime of "five clothes" has always been an important part of feudal law, and it has been continuously enriched and improved in practice.
Third, take five clothes now.
Now, Five Blessingg has lost its strict hierarchy and insurmountable etiquette norms in feudal society, and has only become a tool to maintain family and relatives. Coupled with population decline and population migration, Five Blessingg is less and less brilliant than it used to be. Away from people's sight. The specific five clothes are:
From Gaozu, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father and himself are all relatives, that is, people with the same Gaozu are all relatives, and from Gaozu to himself, they have become five generations. After five copies, there is no blood relationship and you can get married.
Everyone agrees with the theoretical explanation of Wuyi, but there are many differences in practice, especially as the commentary says, "It will take a long time to draw a conclusion". For example, up to now, there have been more than four or five kinds of five-service pictures released. It is puzzling that the contents of these five-service pictures are actually different! Ancestral written materials have different opinions. No wonder friends are always arguing about Five Blessingg! Therefore, I assert that there is no one who writes this article without swearing!
Today, Common Sense of Folklore published by Zhonghua Book Company (edited by Zhao Zongfu, professor, doctor, tutor of master students). He is currently the president of Qinghai Academy of Social Sciences. Answer the question and see who dares to scold. (Just kidding).
Giving five clothes is short for giving clothes, and giving clothes means that blood relationship has been out for five generations. Five Blessingg originally refers to five kinds of filial piety, and later refers to five generations. If a relative has lost more than five generations, it is called clothing, also called five clothing. In marriage, you can get married with five clothes. In ancient times, the level of kinship was clearly visible from mourning clothes. Therefore, take five clothes as relatives and five clothes as sparse. There is no bereavement between brothers and brothers' sons. (I don't think this statement is consistent with the five-service map, but there is no bereavement relationship between brothers or their grandchildren. ) Only bereavement with the same surname. There is also a saying: a grandfather's grandson does not wear clothes, and the next generation brings clothes, a total of eight generations, so some people scold the ancestors for eight generations. It means scolding the whole family. I will attach an explanation to this statement.
Attachment: What is the understanding of "one grandfather's grandson can't take clothes, and the next generation can take clothes, a total of eight generations"? I always find it difficult to explain it according to the five-service diagram. How can it be counted as not conforming to the five-service map and not conforming to the explanation before editing!
The book talks about nine clans and eighteen generations, referring to the clan members of their upper and lower nine generations. The appellations of the last nine generations are: father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, heavenly ancestor, fierce ancestor, great-grandfather, distant ancestor and originator. Later, the titles of IX were: Zi, Sun, Zeng, Xuan, Lai, Shang, Yun, Er, * * IX. This statement of nine families and eighteen generations is consistent with the five-service map and is easy to explain.
In addition, the statement that the younger generation will take clothes contradicts the statement of the funeral dress. When grandpa dies, don't the children and grandchildren wear clothes? Look at friends who are interested in sex appeal, and then use your head. There is absolutely no need to be radical! I thought it was easy for people nowadays to talk about the past!
The consciousness of "five clothes" was gradually lost in modern times. It is only stipulated in the marriage law that consanguineous marriage cannot be within the "five clothes". Therefore, many people think that the "five clothes" are the generations of the clan.
"Five clothes" is actually a kind of mourning clothes that the relatives of the deceased were required to wear in the old society according to their closeness.
On the second day after the funeral, the serviceman dressed according to the rules, and according to the close relationship with the deceased, he wore different mourning clothes for different periods. There are five kinds of mourning clothes: deceptive, Cui Zi, great merit, small merit and stuffing. Their mourning time is also different.
1: class coach is the most important of the five clothes. Mourning clothes are made of the thickest linen, and they are not sewn on the edge of the clothes or under them. After the death of their parents, their children were bereaved of "declining". The mourning period is three years.
2. Cui Zi's mourning clothes are made of slightly coarse linen. The side and bottom edges of the dress are sewn. Sun Weizu's parents, his husband as his wife and his daughter as his parents wore "Cui Zi" to mourn for one year. The mourning period for "married lesbians" who wear "Cui Zi" for their great-grandparents is five months. Take "Cui Zi" to mourn the parents of great-great-grandfather. The same is true of "married women". The mourning period is three months.
3. The mourning clothes of "Dagong" are made of superior raw hemp, and the mourning period is nine months. Cousins, sisters, grandchildren, daughters-in-law, nephews and nieces who marry their husbands and daughters, and uncles, aunts and nephews in the room all wear the mourning clothes of the "Grand Duke".
4. Xiao Gong's mourning clothes are made of fine linen, and the mourning period is five months. If this family is great-grandparents, uncle's grandparents and uncle's parents. Grandparents, grandmothers, married cousins, brothers, wives, nephews, grandnephews, nieces, grandnephews, obedient husbands' wives, obedient cousins, married women of great-grandparents, cousins, married aunts and nieces, and cousins of grandparents, uncles and aunts.
5. "Cuoma" is the lightest of the five clothes, and the mourning period is three months. All those who belong to this clan are high-impedance parents, those who have few internal skills in the five clothes, and cousins with different surnames. Their wives, parents, husbands and grandchildren all wear "Ma Xu" clothes.
Now the traditional way simplifies the wearing of mourning clothes. Ordinary immediate family members wear white cloth mourning clothes. Among them, the eldest son who lost his parents wore a mourning hat made of linen, the so-called "Pima Dai Xiao", and the rest of his relatives wore black veil, and there was no strict mourning period.
"Five clothes" and "family" all talk about kinship, but the scope is different, with overlapping parts and different parts.
The scope of the family is relatively large, and there is no limit. The family is based on the patriarchal clan system with the eldest son inheritance system as the core. This family is passed down from the paternal line through the father-son relationship. The main line handed down from generation to generation is a big one, and the rest is a small one, which is a branch line outside the main line. There is a family in the family, and the family has a father. The father is supreme in the family, and the family unites into a family. The family has a system of great respect, so the father in the family should obey the son in the family.
If this continues to multiply, it may be everywhere in a big family and they don't know each other. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Leng Zixing told Jia Yucun that "something strange happened at the old gentleman's house". This means that the Jia family of Hefu belongs to the same family. Of course, this is a compliment. The aristocratic family has a large population and has been handed down from generation to generation. They are likely to be like strangers.
In addition, granny Liu went to visit Mrs. Wang in the mansion. Because granny Liu's son-in-law is surnamed Wang, her ancestors were officials, and she was related to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's family.
Five clothes refer to five kinds of clothes divided according to the distance between the living and the dead. Five kinds of mourning clothes include: Cui Zi, Dagong, Hong Xiao and refusing horses. The most important thing is to chop, and the lightest thing is to remove hemp.
If the living serve the dead, that is the closest kinship. For example, the son is the father and the father is the eldest son. He is the lightest and most alienated, such as the great-grandfather of the male family. And the parents of the son-in-law and so on.
The relationship between the five clothes is much smaller than that at home. The family should be the same ancestor, theoretically related by blood. The kinship mentioned in Wuyi is both blood relatives and in-laws. For example, for son-in-law, for military parents, etc.
But regardless of family background or Wufu, they all prefer boys to girls. In addition, if it is a blood relationship, within five clothes, that is, the other party dies, it is necessary to mourn for the other party. This is a relative. And those who wear five clothes at home can only be considered as the same surname, not relatives.
