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

不在乎，我去问问我的hellotalk网友他在乎血统吗

哈哈哈hellotalk上的老外问题都很新奇

我hellotalk的朋友也认为中国人不是很在意自己的血统

只在内部分血统高低，难道华夏血统与外族人不是血统区别吗？

贵族那都是封建君主制的时代了，民国时代恐怕还有主子奴才。新中国人人平等。

能延续到现在的家族，哪个祖上没富过，大家往上数都是非富即贵好吧

新中国的时候已经把思想解放了，现在在中国只有宠物猫狗论血统

Going back ten generations from me, our village's ancestor was a county magistrate. Going back twenty generations, it was some prime minister from the Song Dynasty. And further back? I don't know. I only found out this year when I went back to my hometown and saw the genealogy posted in the ancestral hall — it goes back twenty generations. I think it was because last year they met with some branch relatives from somewhere and updated the family tree together. Before that, when I visited the ancestral hall during Spring Festival, I remember there was no genealogy on display, just an old portrait of our earliest ancestor. And this year, they're supposedly going to update the family tree again — the last time was in 1998.

Because China's selection system promotes people based on ability and virtue, it has in practice dismantled the privileges of the nobility. Culturally, Confucianism incorporates the concept of people-centered governance, which reflects a social perspective of equality among individuals in spirit.
