The only way for the first daughter to get property from the family is to get married, and when the male owner of the family unit died, the daughter was not married and basically followed her mother in food and clothing. If it is the first-born daughter, the son of the man has the obligation to support the first-born mother, so the first-born daughter is exposed.

On status and seniority, the youngest son is higher and the illegitimate child is lower, but there are differences in real life. In ancient times, the head of the family was always the father, and the father had the final say. Therefore, high family status does not mean high family status, status is only a name, and practicality is the essence. They can't enter their own genealogy, but when they marry men, they usually have only one surname and no name, while illegitimate children are different. When they enter the family tree, the adopted children can also enter the family tree. Even in some places, daughters are not even qualified to worship their ancestors.

This situation is embarrassing. No matter how noble a daughter is, no matter how much her parents love her, she can't inherit the family business and the title, which is caused by the low status of ancient women. However, the eldest son will also be divided into the eldest son and the second son. Generally, the eldest son is slightly larger than the second son. The ancient system of succession to the throne was also the eldest son inheritance system. "Different local books, orderly old and young" is the expression of the family status of China feudal dynasty, which seems to be higher than ordinary; However, there is also a saying that "men are superior to women", and the status of men is higher than that of women, which makes future generations puzzled.

In many novels or TV dramas, there are such plots. As we all know, in ancient times, there were always official positions and ordinary people. For example, compared with ordinary people, official positions have almost absolute advantages, which are reflected in all aspects of life, such as inheritance of property and obedience of orders. Or ordinary women are dissatisfied with their situation and calculate their daughters everywhere. As for who can win, it depends on who is the protagonist. Anyway, the protagonist is always a big winner. Directly refers to his wife and children, but also refers to concubines and children. The difference between the official and the ordinary was more important before the Tang and Song Dynasties, and weakened from generation to generation after the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
