晚清以来社会剧变,在小农生产方式基础上建立起来的中国传统家庭结构随之发生变化。复合家庭减少,核心家庭增多,家庭规模减小。家庭是社会的基本细胞,家庭结构的变化势必给农业生产工具、农村家庭功能、家庭关系、农村人口城镇化以及近代手工业技术带来深远影响。 Since the late Qing Dynasty, the social changes have taken place in China, and the traditional Chinese family structure established on the basis of the mode of production of small farmers has changed.
