Traditional family customs have five functions: family governance

self-cultivation

inheritance of trade

survival and service to the country. These functions were realized excellently in history. Such historical realization was carried out owing to the realization mechanism composed by rational consciousness

educational guidance

warning and punishment

and ultimate belief. To implement the modern transformation of the traditional family customs

attention should be paid not only to the functions and realization mechanism of the traditional family customs

but also to the social features formed through the changes of times

as well as the five institutional challenges brought about by these features

such as the market economy system and the principle of benefit distribution. In view of this

the modern transformation of the traditional family customs can only be realized by returning to the family mode under the principles of avoidance

conformity

gain-loss balance

and innovation. With such preconditions

the transformation cannot be aggressive

but it is still powerful enough to awaken consanguinity

love for each other

sense of responsibility

and awareness of rules

and to reconstruct the structural function of the family as a place for the cultivation of personal values.
