Seniority means seniority has family friends and relatives in the home position.As we can see from the picture，There are high-grandparents, great-grandparents, grandparents, parents\' generation, the same generation, the generation of low points.
we can also learn that,the seniority is formed by the blood relationship.generally,the more reproductive of a family has , the more prosperous it is.so we often use four generations under one roof or five generations under one roof to describe a family’s happy and peaceful scene.In the family,Every generational have word of a certain generation, people usually named by the word of the generation,for example,in the qing dynasty,Beginning from the yongzheng the
reproductive words order is: 胤、弘、永、绵、奕、载、溥、毓、恒、启、焘、闿、增、祺 In the long history of development in our country,there also had different kinds of generational relations,which is not according to the blood relationship ,like the monarch and his subjects,the teacher and his students,in the ancient the relationship between a couple,is a kind of seniority.There are many sayings in the old books that describe such kind of seniority.such as Will I die, I must die、A day for the teacher lifelong for father.In these situations the seniority is the relationship between cumulative life.It meansthe respect and the revere that the young generations shows to the senior.
The seniority is resulted fromthe politene,On the right occasions call the right person is not only of manners, also is the important demonstration of family education.however the seniorityhas nothing to do with the age,maybe a 70-year-older man should call a 20-year-older man uncle.
In ancient times, there are strict status distinction between different generations,we must show the absolute respect to the senior,we mustn’t establish relations that beyond the seniority with who are our younger generations or our elder generations.But,there are also someone that do not obey the rule,they,broke down the idea of secular ,yangguo and xiaolongnv are the examples.
As the times progre,people are le and le emphasis on seniority.people do not care about anyone else who\'s has higher seniority,In our daily life,we call someone often according to his age.
In my opinion, the seniority is just a symbol, we can not care.however, these fine
traditions ,such as respecting for teachers, respect and love children , we should not be abandoned.,
