Question

Li Shang is a young man in ancient China, who got married recently. He moves into a separate house with his wife.
Is this arrangement an example of the family system followed in ancient China?

• A. Li Shang is following the family system preferred by the ancient Chinese.
• B. Li Shang is not following the family system preferred by the ancient Chinese.
• C. Li Shang is following a joint family system.
• D. Li Shang is trying to start a clan.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Li Shang is not following the family system preferred by the ancient Chinese.

In ancient China family was the basic unit of a society. The ancient Chinese lived in a joint family system. The families used to live in groups or clans. Li Shang is living in a nuclear family system, which is not what the ancient Chinese followed.
