Comment on the Protection of Ancestral Tombs by Clans in the Central Part of Anhui Province in Modern
In traditional Chinese society,ancestral tombs were not only built for filial piety,but were also considered to be related to the lifeline of descendants.Therefore,the clan attached great importance to and sought to protect them.Since the es-tablishment of ancestral tombs in the central part of Anhui Province in modern,the clan had continuously created conditions to protect them,thus forming a relatively comprehensive protection system and firmly resolving problems through litigation when necessary.It was precisely due to the active protection carried out by the clan that many ancestral tombs had been restored de-spite being violated.In the process of protecting ancestral tombs,the clan had inspired the consciousness of same root and same origin and strengthened cohesion.The long-term existence of ancestral tombs not only provided a place for clan members to solemnly miss their ancestors and realize the harmony of the clan through respecting ancestors,but also provided important con-ditions for the clan to strengthen the concept of respecting ancestors and the hierarchical order of superiority and inferiority,thus delaying the transformation from traditional clan society to modern society to a certain extent.
