There is an old saying in the countryside that it is good to have a son and a daughter. What's the point?

I think the thinking of the older generation is patriarchal. They think that adopting a son can support the elderly, and adopting a daughter is to let her find a good family. Now it's different.

Nowadays, people prefer boys to girls under the influence of the patriarchal society thousands of years ago, and even now this phenomenon still exists more or less. Everyone in the family wants to have a boy. There is an old saying called "raising children to prevent old age". If there is a boy at home, someone will give up supporting the elderly. This phenomenon was particularly obvious in the past. With the continuous development of society, people are less closed and more open-minded. Although they can't treat boys and girls equally, they don't expect too much. As the saying goes, "It is good to have a son, but it is better to have a daughter." That's what I said.

On the one hand, it is because boys have to inherit a family or a family, and a family has a boy, which means a follow-up incense. If a boy has ambition, it is the supreme glory for this family; On the other hand, because a family has a boy, it is equivalent to having a dependence. When you get old, you will have a son to support yourself. This is what we often say.

Daughters are good people, and daughters are often more obedient than sons. The key is that when a daughter grows up, she doesn't have to spend so much money to get married. Marry them if you have money, and that's it if you don't have money. After the daughter gets married, she can basically enjoy her old age. And if they have anything, they will come and solve it in time when they find their daughter. If they are sick, they will take care of them wholeheartedly. If it is a son, it will be worse.
