Kinship Organization in Late Imperial China 1000 - 1940.
Berkeley. University of California Press. 1986. Stock ID #213826 "From ancient times the ties based on patrilineal descent were matters of ethical concern and practical politics in China. During the late imperial period, descent groups with as many as hundreds of members became a common feature of the social landscape. This volume, which will be of interest to both historians and anthropologists, concludes that these groups were far more varied and complex than anthropologists have assumed."
