    Different periods throughout China’s history have different names, known as dynasties, for the diverse positions within its society.

    “Servants of a household” do not necessarily encompass the bloodlines that familial ties are known for having, especially during the 15th century where this definition included actual servants of the estate. Being a servant of the household means that person is a contributing factor in the health and fortitude of the shared living space. In a social context, people tend to call any group they are working with towards a common goal under the same pressures and hardships a “family.” One may hear evidence of this in the workplace, where coworkers are often saying things like, “Everyone works so well together here, and we’re honestly like a family!” Some refer to their fellow church members as a “church family” further pushing the idea that the definition of a family is persons you can go to in any type of hardship and working towards the betterment of each other’s lives whether living together or not.
