SUMMARY:Fears of Inheritance Disruption: Tracing the Practice of 'Establish
 ing Heirs' in Ancient and Early Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nIt i
 s widely acknowledged that in Imperial China\, the system of inheritance a
 dhered to the principle of patrilineal succession\, which bore the respons
 ibility for performing ancestral sacrifices. Consequently\, every man was 
 obligated to have a male heir. In cases where he did not have a biological
  son\, it became imperative to select and establish an heir who would carr
 y forward his lineage\, whether he was alive or deceased.\n\nThis presenta
 tion endeavors to trace the historical origins of this practice and reexam
 ine the intricate relationship between inheritance and ancestral sacrifice
 . In ancient China\, while inheritance was closely intertwined with ancest
 ral sacrifice\, it exhibited marked differences compared to later periods.
  Early Imperial China stands as a crucial transitional phase in this evolu
 tion.
