Since the small peasant society, the tradition has been passed down from generation to generation.
In fact, this concept of "passing on the generations" is often closely related to people's ideal idea of "many children and many blessings".
With the gradual development of society, people also have doubts, more children and more blessings, is it really the absolute truth? In fact, everything is not absolute.
From a philosophical point of view, everything has its good side and its bad side. Even the matter of "many children and many blessings" is the same.
Passing on the generations is not necessarily a good thing. You know, all the bloodlines will be severed one day. The only eternal thing in this world is time, and nothing else can be eternal.
At this point, we only need to look at the current attitude of people to "inherit incense". They don't want to have children or bring them into the world. All magical things have happened.
Some sociologists have said that people gradually reduce their fertility and focus on the quality of life, which is an inevitable trend in the development of industrial society.
In your opinion, which generation has slowly seen through the truth of "passing on the generations"?
In fact, it is no longer passed down from generation to generation, often starting from the generation after the 70s.

When it comes to the post-70s, we will think that they have already run to the fifth, and some people have given birth to a second child, which is a generation that seems to be traditional and is not so traditional in their hearts.
Why is it said that the post-70s generation will slowly live into the appearance of "no longer passing on the generations"?
In fact, it is not that they themselves do not pass on the lineage, but that their children choose not to inherit the incense. However, for the choice of children, the vast majority of post-70s are still supportive.
Mr. Wang in the circle is 52 years old this year, the eldest son is also 25 years old, and the younger son is only 8 years old. It can be said that he has a particularly deep understanding of the matter of "inheriting incense".
Mr. Wang thought that now that he had money, it would be easy to raise a child. Who knows, his second child is like a gold sucking beast, completely devouring his money, no matter how much money he invests, he will not be able to fill this black hole.
More importantly, his eldest son is also about to face the crisis of "getting married and having children". The reason why it is said to be "crisis" is because Mr. Wang's family still has money to buy a house and a car, so that the eldest son can get married smoothly. However, Mr. Wang really can't afford to make a down payment of millions.
Because they are in a first-tier city, the pressure they face is enormous. And Mr. Wang also slowly regretted, was it really valuable to waste his life for the so-called "incense"?
More importantly, your children, when they grow up, still live helplessly and cannot afford to get married, is this not the misfortune of "generations of poverty"?

In recent years, with the depression of the industry, too many middle-aged people have lamented that it is because they are incompetent that they still let their children come to this world, that is, let them suffer.
Just like Mr. Wang above, he is an indigenous person in a first-tier city, he already has a certain amount of money, and he also feels that the more he lives, the more tired he is, how can he talk about other workers?
Some time ago, I saw such a young man in 94 years, a graduate master of standard 985 university, a liberal arts major, who had an unstable job, and the company he worked in was also facing the risk of bankruptcy.
He said: "I have been working in Shenzhen for three or four years, but I can't save any money." Nowadays, the deposit is more than 100,000, let alone marrying a wife, and may not even be able to afford to give the gift. Life is really ridiculous. ”
After listening to his feelings, I asked him, "Can't your parents help you for the time being?" ”
He shook his head and said, "My father is 51 years old this year, and my mother is 50 years old, and she has been working in the countryside, and they can only barely support themselves, so how can they help me?" People like me, not getting married, is the best choice. ”
This is the disappointment of a 985 master's degree in his own life.
Life is like a testing ground, the winner is in the position, the loser is eliminated, and everything is particularly realistic.

We may wish to think about a question, why do some post-70s respect the will of their children to no longer "pass on the generations"?
A fellow boss once said: "Houses, marriages, and things skyrocket will make ordinary people who receive salaries fall into a situation of doubting life." ”
The urban middle class, in particular, is largely "in favor" of this attitude.
Studies have shown that the middle class is often the group of people who are most afraid of childbearing. Low-yield and high-level wealthy people often don't think much about childbearing.
This makes people wonder why the middle class does not give birth, while the poor and the rich will have no feelings.
In a word, it can be summed up, the poorer the more born, the richer the more born. The former simply do not consider the cost of raising, because they cannot afford to raise and only survive to reproduce. The latter, on the other hand, often require children to inherit the family business.
In fact, when the environmental pressure reaches a certain level, those middle-class who choose not to inherit incense are also helpless.
Just imagine, today's wave of layoffs is emerging, the 35-year-old law of unemployment in the workplace is becoming more and more obvious, ordinary people even get married has become a problem, then as the elders of the family, as well as as the parties who are married and have children, what can be done?
Again, all trends are historical inevitability. No one can change this.
