Chinese family values have had many changes. There are some aspects of the Chinese culture that are still the same. The dad is still the protector, provider, and maintainer of the family. He may still have a final say in the important matters concerning his children but no longer does the man of the house enjoy absolute control over his family members. The children of modern Chinese families are free to choose the career they want to pursue but they have to consult their elders for advice.

When it comes to marriage the Chinese have a elaborate wedding celebration culture. The wedding events include many ritualistic practices. Although they have been toned down over the years there are still some to a certain degree because they are there to honor the institution of family.

The father of the house is responsible for educating, and housing his children until they get married. When they get married the children move into their own homes. Sometimes married couples would stay with the parents of the groom for a while before moving out on there own.

Something interesting about the chinese family is the Chinese family is the one child policy that has been enforced by law . This policy was introduced as a means of controlling the fast growing population and to control the draining of natural resources.

In the rural areas families are given some exceptions if their first born is not a boy.
