Historical Records of a Chinese Family: A sociological study of the Chinese family system. Which book is better?

I think "Sociological Research on Chinese Family System" is better.

"Historical Records of a Chinese Family"

A novel-style anthropological book! But a little bit epic.

"Sociological Research on the Chinese Family System"

"The Golden Wing" is a sociological research work written in the form of a novel. In terms of conception, its theme is very simple, but like bamboo leaf painting, its simple form belies a high level of art. This story is about two families living next to each other in a village in Fujian. The two families are related and do business together. One survived the adversity and continued to prosper; the other prospered initially and then declined. The central character of this book is Huang Donglin, the head of the first family. He cannot be said to be a hero, but he is the best example among Chinese farmers. He is thrifty, smart, capable, hardworking and hard-working. His "Golden Wing House" was named after a nearby mountain that was shaped like a golden rooster, with one side of the mountain extending like wings toward the new house. Reading Feng Shui is a traditional part of Chinese divination, and it is believed that doing so will make the family prosperous. For sociologists, the reaction is completely different. Opportunities manifested in the form of accidental events: such as sudden death, reunion with old school friends, lucky discovery of a document and winning a lawsuit, etc. Although they play a certain role, the real destiny lies in each person's destiny.

In the heart, as all the great dramatists and novelists such as Euripides or Dostoevsky have shown us, one's choice of good or evil, wise or foolish, does not depend on whim or whim. Accidental opportunities are determined by the hobbies and habits that he or others have. These hobbies and habits play a decisive role, so a person's good and evil wisdom and foolishness are actually chosen early. Professor Lin Yaohua expressed the same opinion in different terms: "Today we can understand 'God' as human beings themselves, and 'destiny' as human society."
