Fortune teller says grandparents are ancestors? _ Fortune teller says grandparents are ancestors?

As the saying goes, the weight does not leave the weight, and the public does not leave the woman. Human ancestors were also divided into in-laws. The male ancestor is male and the female ancestor is female, that is, the initial test and report. In some places, it is usually called Gong Zu and Zubo. Among the folk ancestors in China, because they have been in a patriarchal society for a long time, male ancestors are naturally the main body, but no one can deny the existence of female ancestors.

Ancestor China folk descendants have four ways to identify ancestors, one is folk genealogy, the other is ancestral tablet, the third is ancestral grave, and the fourth is ancestor sacrifice.

(genealogy)

Genealogy, also known as genealogy, genealogy, genealogy and so on. , is borrowed from the format of historical records, mainly records the reproduction of family lineage. China folk genealogy records the lineage, characters, deeds, family rules and so on of the paternal family. It is the historical data of family names, including the origin of family names, the migration track, the branches of family genealogy, etc. Among them, the genealogy records the name, person, date of birth and death, married wife's name (buried in a famous mountain), male birth, buried in a famous mountain, tombstone and so on.

Although the folk genealogy has a generally unified format, the specific content is different. Some genealogies record women who have given birth to men, while others omit them. But most genealogies are recorded, and some only record women who have made contributions in history, or more famous women. Therefore, although China's genealogy is secretive about women, it still exists.

(ancestral hall)

Ancestor memorial tablets enshrined in ancestral temples are basically synchronized with genealogy, some of which are copied from genealogy, and some are simplified forms of genealogy. The names of female ancestors are generally written on the memorial tablets. The ancestral hall is presided over by men, but female spouses of ethnic minorities can go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors like men. In some parts of China, women are still the mainstay in ancestor worship.

ancestral grave

Where the family is alive, it is necessary to establish a family public cemetery, which is commonly known as the ancestral grave. If the genealogy and ancestral tablets are dominated by men and women are only subordinate, then in the ancestral graves, male surnames and female graves are equal, and there is no gender difference. This may be related to the folk belief in Feng Shui, which holds that any ancestor, male or female, is a good ancestor as long as he is buried well and sheltered. Therefore, it is the same for future generations to erect monuments or sweep graves. Genealogy and ancestral tablets are written records, and ancestral graves are the physical witnesses of ancestors.

(Fuxi and Nu Wa in Tomb Murals)

China has always had two ancestors who sacrificed their ancestors, Fuxi and Nu Wa. Legend has it that Fuxi is a couple. Fuxi, known as Emperor xi, Emperor Xi and Tai Hao, also known as Di Qing, is one of the five emperors. Nu Wa, the goddess of creation in ancient China mythology, is also known as Nu Wa and the queen of Nu Wa. She is the true god who blesses the country and is regarded as the forerunner of China's national humanities. Influenced by the myths and legends of Fuxi and Nuwa, there are two ancestors in Nuo culture, namely Nuo Gong and Nuo Mu, also known as Nuo Dad and Nuo Niang, who are the ancestors of many local beliefs. Until today, in some parts of our country, exorcism activities are mainly to worship these two ancestors.

In South Coast, Taiwan Province Province, Ryukyu and other Southeast Asian regions, Mazu is regarded as ancestor worship, and in some places, He Xiangu is regarded as ancestor worship. In some places in southwest China, ancestor worship is called Qing Empress, and the Empress is naturally a woman. In some places in China, women ancestors who have made special contributions to the family are regarded as gods, such as grandmothers and grandmothers. In some places, women are worshipped as ancestors. There is an ancestral temple in Lishan, Lintong, Shaanxi Province, which is still dedicated to Nu Wa twice a year. Ancestor sacrifice can be seen. Ancestor sacrifice includes women, which has long existed among Chinese people.

(Nuosi)

China has had a special marriage since ancient times, that is, when a family is all girls and there is no man, the son-in-law can be adopted, commonly known as Zhao Lang, and his descendants take the female surname. Since ancient times, adoption has become a common marriage custom in China, which is found in almost every family name. Son-in-law's son-in-law inherits the woman's surname and blood. There may be orthodox and unorthodox discussions between clansmen within several generations, but over time, clansmen forget this and naturally become orthodox. From the perspective of modern science, it is actually more authentic for a daughter to inherit her father's surname. At least, she is not afraid of "fire". It's all the meat from my daughter, and it's a continuation of my own blood anyway. In this way, the daughter became the actual ancestor of her descendants who really continued the family. This situation is quite common in China society, and every surname has existed throughout the ages.

(Mazu)

Undeniably, in the feudal patriarchal society, women's surnames have no status at all, and in the traditional concept of surnames, women married into families can not be regarded as orthodox blood, descendants of surnames and ancestors of surnames in people's consciousness. Although strictly speaking, women are not ancestors in a patriarchal society, why should we put the word "ancestor" before women now? Such as grandmother, great-grandmother, great-grandmother, great-grandmother, etc. In fact, it is the recognition of ancestral status. It can be seen that the ancients only affirmed that women are not descendants of surnames, and did not deny the actual status of women as human beings and family ancestors.

Kinship refers to the kinship of the same clan, which is related by blood, but has no direct blood relationship. Ancestor refers to my direct ancestor who inherited from my paternal line.

For example, you are in the same strain as your father and your son. Your grandparents and brothers are your second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle. Your father, your grandfather and your great-grandfather are all your direct ancestors. For your son, you, your father, your grandfather and Taigong are all his ancestors. Your second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, their sons and nephews and your cousins can all be called your relatives.

Kinship:

Male blood relatives from the same ancestor. Such as great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandson, great-grandson, etc. Collateral (male) kinship. Such as grandfather, ancestor, brother, ancestor, father, brother, brother, uncle, brother, disciple, son, son, grandson and so on. The man's spouse is a blood relative, that is, a woman who married into this family. Such as great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, daughter-in-law and so on. Unmarried women in this family. Such as unmarried third-grade sisters, unmarried second-grade sisters, unmarried cousins, unmarried sisters, unmarried daughters, unmarried nieces, etc.

Difference:

1, blood includes male blood relatives from the same ancestor. Ancestors refer to their immediate family members, blood relatives, fathers, grandfathers, etc.

2. Kinship includes the spouse of the male consanguineous family, that is, the woman married into the family. Ancestors do not include women.

Make love.

This unmarried woman. Ancestors do not include women.

Although in reality, people will also have memorial tablets for their late mothers, grandmothers and other matriarchal families. Although the scale is not very large, it still exists. But strictly speaking, the ancestors of past dynasties did not include female ancestors. There is a simple reason. China ancient society is a typical patriarchal society with deep roots.

First of all, the patriarchal society is not unique to China. It exists all over the world, and it is still a patriarchal society today. The transition from matriarchal clan society to paternal clan society is mainly due to the improvement of social productivity. People's lifestyle has gradually changed from gathering and hunting to planting nomads. This is related to the higher requirements of the mode of production for men and the more favorable characteristics of men. Therefore, the status of men has gradually improved. The final transformation is characterized by the fact that the core members of the family are changed from mother and daughter to father and son, and women are gradually excluded and no longer regarded as family inheritance.

An important symbol of the development of patriarchal society in China is the enfeoffment system. The state confirms and consolidates the status of patriarchal society through state power, and links it with family inheritance, social inheritance and property inheritance. Women have lost their status as family heirs in law, so they are no longer regarded as the core members of the family in ethics.

Later, Confucian culture and the last Neo-Confucianism strengthened this tradition, which further consolidated and improved the patriarchal society in China. This feature is finally manifested in ancestor worship, that is, family ancestors do not include female ancestors.

On the whole, the requirements of productive forces, the influence of national policies and the imprisonment of ideology and culture are the main reasons for the phenomenon of no female ancestors in past dynasties.

(1) The reproduction of human beings is inseparable from men and women. Therefore, there is the first test and the first test to remember the deceased ancestors. Although the idea that men are superior to women is more serious in a patriarchal society, it does not exclude the existence and role of women in the family. Among the family tree butterflies with the same surname and ancestor compiled by the people, male relatives of the same strain must be named. Women who are wives and concubines of male spouses are married relatives, indicating only their father's surname before marriage (X's) and no name and number. In short, in the genealogy, we can know the name of the ancestral male exam at a glance, while the ancestral female exam only knows her last name. The surname of the first test in each generation remains unchanged, and the first test comes from different surnames. The male surname described in the genealogy is unchanged, while the female surname of the male spouse is constantly changing.

(2) Pangu in the fairy tale "Pangu Begins the Creation" is the male ancestor of ancient people in China. Nu Wa in the fairy tale "Goddess of Mending Heaven" is the female ancestor of ancient people in China. Nowadays, the late examiners in social families are the ancestors of men and women who died in our lives.

Previous generations had female ancestors.

The patriarchal clan system in ancient China was a patriarchal society dominated by men. However, married women will be included in the genealogy of their husbands' families as spouses after their death, which is what we now call genealogy. After the blood was passed down, ancestors were regarded as ancestors for a long time.

If a woman is unmarried, she is often regarded as an ancestor because of her close blood relationship.

In ancient times, many people with high status and respect were regarded as ancestors, including women. How to be a nun, Mazu, etc. Mazu is regarded as one of the ancestors in South Coast, Taiwan Province Province, Ryukyu and other Southeast Asian regions.

Genetically speaking, ancestors include female ancestors, and each generation of ancestors has recorded grandmothers as female ancestors.

However, genealogy is another story. Once upon a time, there were two lineages: the son of a son (male line inheritance) ... called Long Mai inheritance, and the daughter of a daughter (female line inheritance) ... called Phoenix line inheritance.

Later, it was found that male inheritance (Y gene inheritance) will never change, while female inheritance (X gene inheritance) will not be recognized after four or five generations because of X hybridization. In this way, the female line inheritance (phoenix pulse) will go away. Only male inheritance (Y gene inheritance, never cross) can represent consanguineous inheritance.

Patriarchal society in China for thousands of years has been handed down by male ancestors, never mentioning female ancestors. Women always live with their husbands after marriage, become grandmothers, and are buried with them after death. No woman has ever taken root in her parents' house, but she seldom becomes a grandmother in her parents' house! It's ridiculous that any woman who dies in her mother's house doesn't even have a grave after her death. What kind of woman's ancestors really don't know the history of China?

Generally, large families have their own genealogy, ranking down from the first generation of patriarchs, depending on whether you are direct or collateral. Only those who have made great contributions to the family in a generation can be placed in the family tree. The question of the title is questionable. Most people think that only men can be included in the family tree. How did Wu Zetian explain it? Relatively speaking, you are asking the ancestors of past dynasties. Personally, women can be regarded as ancestors. There is something wrong with the word ancestor. There is no way to give the correct answer.

Children take their father's surname and daughters get married, which is against the rules left by our ancestors. The rule left by the ancestors is that the son takes his mother's surname and the son gets married!
