African friends are surprised — don't Chinese people care about their ancestry?

In the West, many countries have nobility and care deeply about noble lineage. So on HelloTalk, an African guy asked me, "Are there no nobles in China anymore?" It seems that Chinese people don't care much about their ancestry.
I told him that in China there's no concept of pure noble lineage. Many emperors in ancient China didn't start as nobles — they rose from common origins. As an old Chinese saying goes, "Are kings, dukes, generals, and ministers born into their positions?"

There used to be, until someone started killing people based on their genealogy...

实际上也没那么讲究了。因为串的更好看比如新脸布偶就是布偶和波斯的一代串

刘备这种真皇室血统的都编草鞋卖了。中国随便一个人,往上找肯定有贵族祖先。不然也传不下来。

按照百科来说我的姓来自颛顼 就说贵不贵吧

咋可能没有贵族,一代当海盗,靠着巧取豪夺,完成原始积累。二代靠开工厂,留学,完成阶级跨越。三代从事艺术,医疗,与下等人彻底拉开距离,成为新贵族。

这种基本三代百年都维持不到就普通人了

真正的原因是汉武帝的推恩令,废除了诸侯王的嫡长子继承制,导致封地逐渐分裂和缩小,诸侯的权利也被分散,最终导致贵族制度在中国的逐渐消失。所以,现在目前能遗留下贵族制度的国家,基本都是长子继承制,例如英国和日本。

就算有再牛逼的血统又咋样,还不是穷人一个,血统能换钱吗
