What does family innocence mean?

Innocent family background means that everyone in the family is serious and has never done anything immoral. Children who commit crimes without punishment are all children of decent families. At that time, the older generation attached great importance to this and hoped to find an innocent person to marry and have children. Because such people are spotless, it will not affect the reputation of the family.

Family lineage refers to the lineage passed down from generation to generation by a family or, by extension, to previous generations.

Innocence, which used to refer to people who did not engage in so-called humble occupations, now generally refers to pure conduct and no stains.

The family background is innocent, (someone) has a good background, and several generations of family members have good conduct, have a proper occupation and have no criminal behavior.

In ancient China, the people who served the master in the palace were not ordinary people. Even maids have to go through layers of selection and "merit-based admission". Before the Han Dynasty, most of the so-called maids were wives and children captured by the enemy when they were fighting abroad, and they were taken to the court to be maids because the other side was defeated.

However, with the end of the two-week period, this situation was not suitable for the Han Dynasty when the world was peaceful. Therefore, since the Western Han Dynasty, there has been a complete selection system for maids, and immoral sons are not allowed to enter the palace.

For girls, a good family is a girl with an innocent family background. On the surface, family innocence naturally means that no one in the family has committed a crime and can't find any criminal record.

In the modern boast, the family background is relatively clean. But in the Han dynasty, "a good family" was definitely not just a simple condition of not causing trouble or committing crimes. Those who are infected by medical practice, divination and business are not innocent families.
