The Expression Patterns and Changes of Traditional Chinese Clan Culture

Abstract: The clan is a social organization entity based on blood ties, emphasizing the internal rule of the family. Clan culture is based on blood ties and values the maintenance of relationships among clan members. Being of the same clan and family is the key to identity. Clan concepts include bloodline identity, mutual assistance, filial piety, inheritance, rule of etiquette, and local customs, reflecting the inner beliefs and attitudes of clan members towards the importance and role of the family. Clan concepts and clan culture are interdependent and work together, influencing people's behavior and values, and have a profound impact on the development of modern society.
