The Significance of a Chinese Boys Name

Article Category: Society

Author Name: James Tien

What does a Chinese boys name mean to a culture with a one child per family law? To them, it means the family continues to live on. China is known for its enduring traditions. As a culture, they believe that the male in the family is the one that carries on the ancestry.

For many families, having knowledge of their ancestors is gratifying. Knowing the family tree gives people a definition of themselves. The study of genealogy is a lucrative business. There are television shows and websites dedicated to finding the ancestry of people. These are examples of how important it to people to know their roots. It lends understanding to the importance of the male heir theory.

What is the big deal about wanting a boy? Knowing we won't live forever is part of the reason people want to carry on their name. The need to leave a mark on this world while we're here fuels the desire to preserve the family name. Looking beyond the immediate family and extending the lineage for generations gives people a sense that they can live forever. The worth of a son increases to achieve this goal.

Historically, the significance of male heirs has had a role in society. In England's history, King Henry VIII is remembered for feeling so strongly about having a son that he had a wife beheaded when she didn't produce one. In literature and film, the importance of having a male child can be found as a theme.

Placing too much emphasis on the male heir dilemma can have negative consequences. China may experience one of these complications in the near future. There are more males than females that have been born since the one child per family rule was instated. Families wanting to have a male are aborting the fetuses which are female or giving the girls up for adoption. When these boys and girls grow up, there aren't going to be enough women for the men to marry. It will be interesting to see what behaviors will manifest when nature interferes with polite society.

How are women contributing to saving the family name? Once is was believed that a woman was a husband's property therefore she was considered a part of her married family more than her birth family. As that is no longer a belief in modern society, many women are maintaining their identity by keeping their maiden name. Women are also hyphenating their maiden name with their married name. Some women are having children without the father present. In these instances, the children keep a part or the mother's entire name.

Maintaining old ideas in a modern world comes at a price. The belief that a Chinese boys name is what preserves the family history has created difficulties for a country having a population problem. As we evolve as a culture, progressive thinking may dictate a new view of how ancestors are documented. The women may end up playing a larger role in genealogy than in past generations.
