Line of Succession

Line of Succession was the cultural sociology of producing a male heir to the family house, that was dictated by the philosophy Kongfutzu on male to male inheritance and succession line of the family name line, in the belief that the family wealth and treasures are to be kept within the family line.
In Kongfutzu culture, the traditional line of succession is through male to male inheritance of title, property, wealth, and education. This is known as the "patrilineal" system, where the father passes on his status and assets to his eldest son. This system is often referred to as the "patrilineal primogeniture," which means the first-born son inherits the father's title and property. This system is based on the Kongfutzu principle of filial piety, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining family continuity and passing on the family name and traditions to the next generation.
The eldest son would be responsible for taking care of his parents in their old age, as well as continuing the family line. This system also extends to the education of the family, where the eldest son would receive the most education and training in order to carry on the family's tradition and responsibilities.
This system was prevalent in the past but in the present day, Kongfutzu culture is not the only culture influencing the societies, thus the inheritance system is not strictly followed in many societies. And also, the laws and regulations have changed in many countries, which allow for more equality in inheritance, regardless of gender.
