Answers instructor's question on why the Chinese continued to value children highly despite population pressure under the Qing (or Ch'ing, 1644-1912). Includes the historic urge to geographical expansion of China, migrations under the Qing, agricultural innovations that allowed more food; but above all else, the social structure and patrilineal clans placed such a high value on children that it was impossible for the Chinese to conceive of an alternative. 8 pages, 11 footnotes, 6 bibliographic sources. |
