China has always paid attention to having many children and being blessed. First, it needed a lot of labor in ancient times. Second, the prosperity of family population was a face project of a family. Ordinary people marry concubines if they are capable, and have more children if they are not. In ancient times, many women were actually tools to carry on the family line. For men, they don't need to earn money to support their families, they just need to stay at home and teach their children. In fact, the implied meaning is to have more children and add some gas to the family.

Some people who are good at playing with power: seek a way out for themselves by nepotism.

Some officials in ancient times were generally divided into factions, and they were obviously two factions above the imperial court (of course, it is not excluded that they only recognize death). When you become an official, you usually pave the way for yourself. If they have the ability, they will raise their next of kin. If their ability is not so strong or they need to circumvent the rules, they will push other talented people to find a way out for themselves.

Business people: You can not only raise your children to prevent old age, but also support the elderly through your own savings or find a young wife.

Ancient businessmen were all wives and concubines, and their children and grandchildren were full. This is a manifestation of the strength of their businessmen, but it is also because there are too many children and some property disputes, so the eldest son system was derived in ancient times. For titles and property in the family, priority is inherited by the eldest son, and the rest can be given to other sisters. Among these children, they usually prefer one of them to find a support for the rest of their lives, or to have a young wife to take care of the rest of their lives.

Some open-minded people find a good friend to live in seclusion with when they are old.

For some scholars, many people generally spend the rest of their lives through leisure. They have no specific pension, and most of them live in seclusion and live a self-sufficient life. For example, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely.
