Kinship Organization Reflected in Bifurcated Settlements
Author(s): Yu Xiyun
Year: 2017
Summary
The bifurcated settlements of prehistoric China indicate that their internal organization is a reflection of a kind of kinship organization akin to the moieties of South America, the phratries of North America, marriage classes of Australia, and the Xing groups of ancient China. With the emergence of clans, the Xing（姓） group system was transformed to the Zhaomu（昭穆） system.
