The legalization of illegitimate children has impacted Chinese civilization
The removal of restrictions on marriage does not mean that illegitimate children will be legalized. Although from a legal point of view, this possibility does exist. However, each policy has its positive and negative impacts, which we need to weigh carefully.
The uniqueness of Chinese civilization lies in its success in maintaining a large territory, a large population, and an agrarian society. In Chinese history, the patriarchal family was closely linked to the upper echelons of society.
Despite the inherent contradictions between the family and the state organization, the patriarchal family organization in China has gone beyond simple kinship groups and has become the basic unit of Chinese society with Confucian ethics as the organizing principle.
Confucian ethics focuses on ethics and morality, and regards the state as an extension of the family, effectively resolving the contradiction between the patriarchal family and the state organization. And the clear rule of "monarch and minister, father and son" has also been dissolved on this basis.
The characteristics of Chinese feudal society are that Confucian ideology provides legitimacy for the upper, middle and lower levels of society, and these three levels are closely linked so that they can be coordinated with each other.
This point of view is based on Jin Guantao's "Changes in Openness".
In China, the family is still the core value of society, the state is an extension of the family, and only the stability and happiness of each family can constitute a strong country.
However, if illegitimate children are legalized, the family structure can be disrupted, and how the property is distributed is a key issue. In addition, the rich are likely to have more children, while the number of poor singles is likely to increase.
Furthermore, some high-level intellectual women choose not to marry and raise their children alone, and children without a father may face mental health problems.
The culture of the family and the country is the cornerstone of China's thousands of years of unification of the country, which takes the family as the core, the family as the unit, radiates outward, and closely links the country and the family. Such a culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making everyone loyal to the country from the bottom of their hearts.
Once the adherence to family ethics is relaxed, this family-country culture will be impacted, and the cohesion of the country will also be affected. Therefore, we must adhere to traditional Chinese ethics and maintain the stability of our family and national culture.
Once the traditional ethics of the family collapse, the individual-centered ideology will rise and eventually win, leading to the withdrawal of a stable ideology from the stage of history, and thus weakening the foundation of the family and the state of great unification.
