第六章章节概括

This chapter mainly explains the difference between Chinese and Western "families" from the perspective of structural principles: the basic community of Chinese rural society is "small families", while in the West it is "families"; The structure of the former is monophyletic, vertical (with father son inheritance as the main axis), long-term (after completing reproductive tasks, there are other tasks), and complex. The latter is horizontal (with couples as the main axis), temporary (after the child reaches adulthood, the task of reproduction is already completed and does not have any other functions), and simple. In the specific discussion, the author introduces the perspective of "function" and points out that Chinese families, due to their blurred boundaries, undertake more functions besides reproduction, becoming "small families", while Western families, due to their clear group boundaries, only need to fulfill the function of reproduction, while political, economic, religious and other functions can be undertaken by other groups. Function and structure are interdependent: the differences in structure between the East and the West give rise to differences in function, which in turn reinforce differences in structure. Different structures can also have different impacts: in China, the home is a career organization that emphasizes discipline and excludes private relationships. There is a lack of living space for couples, and people tend to be "reserved and reserved" when dealing with sexual emotions. Those who have feelings intentionally tend to concentrate in the same sex and age group; The western family is a group jointly run by the couple, and the children are only the supporting role of the group. "The feelings between the two sexes are the strength of cohesion".
