I have found some information for you, you can refer to it, and then summarize your own ideas and outline. 1. Basic analysis of traditional family care for the elderly in rural China. Raising children to provide for the elderly is a traditional care method for the elderly in rural China for thousands of years. This kind of family-based care is

What is the basis for the long-term existence of the most basic elderly care model?

In-depth research on this issue will become an important reference for us in designing today's rural pension system.

(1) Analysis of objective conditions for family care for the elderly 1.

A self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy is a prerequisite for family pension. For more than two thousand years before the founding of New China, China's rural areas have always been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.

The small-scale peasant economy of each household is an underdeveloped economic form. Low productivity tightly binds farmers to pieces of land without other means of livelihood. The closed form of communication makes farmers can only rely on themselves to accumulate experience and have no other means of making a living.

Other ways to acquire knowledge.

Therefore, the possession of land and farming knowledge has become an important part of social inheritance and generational succession.

Land is the private property of parents. After parents withdraw from the field of production, they do not give up their right to possess the means of production. Children who want to obtain land must pay for supporting their parents.

At the same time, it is a prominent feature of traditional peasant families that children inherit their father's business. Not only are their offspring raised by their parents, but they also learn the skills to make a living from their fathers and ancestors, and inherit certain industries and land. This high degree of economic dependence in life makes them consciously

Obey the restrictions of your fathers and ancestors and dare not disobey in the slightest.

The fathers rely on the land to produce children and nurture their offspring; the children rely on the land to maintain their lives and support the elderly. The land constitutes an important source of income for the people's families to provide for the elderly.

In order to ensure that farmers own land, governments in the past dynasties have implemented a series of land distribution policies, such as the well-field system, land occupation system, and land equalization system.

In addition to the land system, the government has also passed legal provisions that strictly prohibit children and grandchildren from dividing property with their parents.

"Laws of the Tang Dynasty - Household Marriage Laws" stipulates, "If grandparents and parents are still alive, but the descendants have different registered residences and have different wealth, they will be detained for three years." "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" stipulates, "For grandparents, parents are alive, but the descendants have different household registrations, they will be separated from each other."

Anyone who violates property will be punished with a hundred rods.” The purpose of the law is to stabilize the economic foundation for family support.

Non-monetary economy is a necessary condition for family support for the elderly. Marxism believes that "as humans move from agricultural society to industrial society and post-industrial society, the family support function gradually becomes separated from the family and becomes socialized." (1) Mitro in "Europe"

"Family History" further describes: "The peasant economy is a currencyless economy, so that supporting the elderly is only feasible at home, and providing physical goods is impossible beyond a certain distance, because it requires cash payment and use

This money buys food, both of which did not exist in agricultural areas in the pre-industrial era.” (2) China is a large agricultural country. For thousands of years, the productivity of China’s rural areas has been extremely backward, and the degree of industrialization is very low.

, the non-monetary self-sufficient natural economy has always occupied a dominant position. In this non-monetary agricultural society, farmers produce almost all of their own means of production and means of living. For everyone, they must continue to produce.

Obtain the supply of living materials, otherwise you will not be able to protect your life.

In fact, everyone loses their ability to produce due to old age. At this time, if they want to obtain the means of living, they must rely on the production of other family members.

Obviously, the non-monetary self-sufficient production method determines the necessity of family existence and the inevitability of family support for the elderly.

(2) Analysis of subjective conditions for family care for the elderly 1.

The traditional idea of ??filial piety is the intrinsic motivation for Chinese rural families to support the elderly. In any era, the support of the elderly is not only determined by the productivity level at that time, but also restricted by the concept of support based on this productivity.

Historically, my country’s elderly care was carried out within the family with filial piety as the core. The idea of ??filial piety has a long history of development and profound social influence in China.

Confucianism believes: "Filial piety is the crown of hundreds of behaviors and the beginning of all good deeds. It is the scripture of heaven, the righteousness of earth, the conduct of the people, and the foundation of virtue." (3) Therefore, Confucianism takes filial piety as the starting point when establishing teachings.

The upper part of the character means old and the lower part means son, which means the old man supports his son." (4) Therefore, the moral concept of filial piety was originally a code of conduct to mediate the relationship between elders and younger generations.

However, in feudal society, filial piety was elevated to a very high position, becoming the starting point of all moral concepts and moral behaviors, and serving as the basis of feudal ethics.

Feudal rulers used filial piety to bind everyone's thoughts and behaviors. The principle of filial piety is: "What the father respects, the son dare not refuse to honor; what the father respects, the son dare not disobey."

(5) The purpose of feudal rulers' emphasis on filial piety was for loyalty. Obviously, governing the world with filial piety itself contains both ethical and political meanings.

Under the influence of feudal ideology and culture, the majority of farmers always conscientiously perform filial piety, and the awareness of filial piety has gradually become the internal motivation for Chinese rural families to provide for the elderly.

The instinct to enjoy family happiness is the spiritual motivation for Chinese rural families to provide for the elderly. People are social animals and have not only material needs, but also spiritual needs.
