Abstract

The chapter represents an analytical review of recent academic literature about the influence of traditional cultural values on institution of the family, gender and sexual relations in China. The analysis of traditional cultural values contributes to the understanding of the current family institution in China. Its new significance is associated with the emergence of new trends and the reproduction of previously existing models. Traditional cultural values which occur from the ethics of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, affect both the attitudes and social ideas of the contemporary Chinese, as well as their real behavior. Filial piety as one of the central values of Chinese culture is changing, but its role retains in intergenerational interactions and upbringing of children. At the same time among young people there are some value shifts and conflicts caused by the influence of Western cultural context. The factors contributing to these shifts are the economic development of regions, urbanization, and educational level.
