About the Book

Chapter 1. Introduction
This chapter covers 1) motivation for this book; 2) the historical and anthropological angles we choose to use; 3) primary content; and 4) book structure. It also briefly explains the three inter-dependent issues that we intend to address: the past, present, and future of family and family business in China; unique challenges faced by Chinese family firms; and lessons learned in the past and recommendations for the future.
Part 1. Social foundation of the family system in Ancient China [Chapter 2-4]
Chapter 2. Household, family and clanChapter 3. Function of family/clan: Economy, society and cultureChapter 4. Characteristics of the Chinese family system 4.1 Clan: Between family and State 4.2 Patriarchism: Father's authority and family customs 4.3 Equal division of family property: Succession and spinoff in a family system 4.4 Structuration of family ethics: From family to society
Part 1 explains the root of the family system in China, its components (household), and its extension (clan). Discussion starts with an overview of a household, family, and clan in ancient China (Chapter 2). It covers the topics of major concern, such as the family system and the place of individuals within it, ancestor worship that connects the past with the present, pseudo-kinship relations in a family and extended family systems, and the family and clan in relation to the wider society and the state. Partially built upon the work of Baker (1979), Levy (1949), Fei (1939) and Redding (1990), this part further discusses the economic, social, and cultural functions that the family system served in Ancient China (Chapter 3), as well as the four unique features that distinguish the family system in ancient China from those in western societies (Chapter 4). These are 1) clan as the connection between family and the state; 2) patriarchism as the facilitator of power structure and traditional customs in a family; 3) equal division of family property as the basic mechanism behind the succession and spinoff of the Chinese family system; and 4) structure of family ethics that build the legitimate ground for feudalism in China.

Part 2. Family system and family business in China 1850-1949 [Chapter 5-7]Chapter 5. Dynamics of family and the rise of business families Chapter 6. Birth, governance, and succession of family businessChapter 7. Lessons learned
Part 2 discusses the evolution of the family system and the rise of family business before the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Built upon Wolf and Huang (1980) and Rowe (2010), this part starts with an explanation of the dynamics of the family system as well as the rise of business families in 1850-1949 (Chapter 5). Aligned with the work of Bergere (1989), it further discusses family involvement in business in this era in terms of the business format, governance structure, and family business succession (Chapter 6). This part ends with a discussion of the lessons learned from this historical period (Chapter 7).
Part 3. Evolution of family system before and after the Reform era [Chapter 8-9]Chapter 8. Dynamics of family system 1950 1978 Chapter 9. Family system after 1978 9.1 External drivers: Urbanization and "One-Child Policy" 9.2 Family evolution: Function, structure, and relationship 9.3 Unique challenges
