从古到今,人们都非常重视血缘关系,进而形成尊祖敬宗的传统观念。在现代,“祖宗”连言,本指高祖,但更多的时候是泛指高祖以上的本族先人。正是由于“祖宗”是人类繁衍生息的根,是血缘关系的基础,所以谈宗法,首先必须谈“祖宗”。在古代,“祖”和“宗”有其特殊的文化内涵。

Since ancient times, people attach great importance to blood relationship, thus forming the traditional concept of respecting ancestors. In modern times, “ancestors ” even said, refers to the emperor, but more often refers to the ancestors above the native ancestors. It is precisely because “ancestor ” is the root of the multiplication of human beings, is the basis of kinship, so talk about patriarchal clan, we must first talk about “ancestors ”. In ancient times, “Zu ” and “Zong ” have their special cultural connotation.
