Someone asked: Why was the status of the ancient uncle so great?
In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: the uncle is the male spokesperson of the social position of the mother.
In any era, the relationship between mother and son, mother and daughter, is also the purest blood relationship. Even if it is father and son, in ancient times, there was still a division between concubines and inheritance.
In the past, uncles and mothers were members of society who did not have any interests other than the closest blood relationship.
The relationship between the mother and the uncle is stronger than the blood relationship between the sister and the brother. This is because:
There is no competition with each other for parental resources.
Let's put it this way, your uncle robbed you of your property, and there is a reason.
Your uncle doesn't have this title to rob, not only is there no threat to you, but because of his sister (your mother), he is naturally on your side.
You are a sister-in-law, your father spoils the concubine, the concubine's son wants to compete with you for the family property, and your uncle will stand up for you and make trouble for your father, which is reasonable and well-founded.
After reading the comments of netizens, I laughed like crazy!!
Netizen: One ear was bullied by the black cat sheriff, didn't he also go to his uncle
Netizen: Let me tell you an example, written by a professor from Hunan who works in Beijing.
There is a husband and wife and a son in the professor's hometown, and the husband and wife are from two neighboring villages.
Catching up with the reform and opening up, the two opened a furniture factory and became the first local people to get rich, and then the man was ready to remarry a female worker in the furniture factory.
At this time, the two uncles came over, forced the man's elders to open the ancestral hall, faced the man's elders and brothers, fought with their tongues, and made a note on the spot, and assigned two-thirds of the shares and residences of the furniture factory to the nephew's name, and a group of big men in the man's family were suffocated half to death, and the two uncles became famous in a fight.
Netizen: Lin Daiyu has no father, and the last person she goes to is her uncle's house.
Looking at it this way, it is not for nothing that the status of uncles in ancient times is high, as the old saying goes, an uncle and half a father can also see how high the status of the uncle is in the nephew's heart.
Personally, I think that such a traditional culture is really good. I hope it will continue to be able to continue in today's society.
