What's the name of brother-in-law's wife?

My brother-in-law's wife is called aunt.

Visiting relatives and friends in the first month, how to address elders is not negligence. I'm afraid many children in China have been confused by kinship terms such as "seven aunts and eight aunts" when they learn to speak, while kinship terms in China are very complicated.

In the English-speaking world, the male relatives of the father referred to by "uncle" have five titles in China: "uncle, uncle, uncle"; The concept of "cousin" covers eight situations in Chinese: cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin and sister.

Zheng Zining, a language researcher in China, pointed out in his book Oriental Vocabulary and Western Languages that the complicated kinship address system is closely related to the clearly defined social structure. The modern kinship appellation system in China originated from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

At that time, wars were frequent, and it was difficult for small families to protect themselves in turbulent times. The importance of family was unprecedented. Therefore, the rise of the family with paternal blood as the core has developed a more complicated kinship appellation system than matriarchal kinship appellation.

Specifically, the father's brother and younger brother have different titles (uncle and uncle), while the mother's brother has only one title (uncle); Only the children of fathers and brothers are cousins, while the children of fathers and sisters and mothers and brothers and sisters are cousins.

Kinship refers to the social relationship formed with human individuals through marriage or blood relationship. Parents, brothers and sisters and other relatives are also called relatives or family members, while others are called relatives.

Traditionally, the kinship system in China is based on male descent, which is divided into blood relatives, in-laws and in-laws. Relatives have specific kinship terms according to each person's generation, clan, age and gender.

China people's kinship terms are orderly, which has become a major feature of China culture. ?

Clans are mainly men of the clan, including unmarried women in the house and women married to the clan. Among them, relatives related to the paternal line are called "cousins".

In addition, for the woman who lives in the room, she still belongs to the clan. Once married, she belongs to her husband's family and is a relative from other places. For the sake of understanding, all women (including husbands) of this clan are also listed as blood relatives.
