A Chinese clan is a patrilineal and patrilocal group of related Chinese people with a common surname sharing a common ancestor and, in many cases, an ancestral home. Clan loyalties tend to be strong in southern China, reinforced by ties to an ancestral village, common property, and often a common spoken Chinese dialect unintelligible to people outside the village.

  • A Chinese clan is a patrilineal and patrilocal group of related Chinese people with a common surname sharing a common ancestor and, in many cases, an ancestral home. Clan loyalties tend to be strong in southern China, reinforced by ties to an ancestral village, common property, and often a common spoken Chinese dialect unintelligible to people outside the village. Clan structures tend to be weaker in northern China, with clan members that do not usually reside in the same village nor share property. In Imperial times, a consort clan was a clan with special status due to its connection with an Emperor. Throughout Chinese history consort clans have exercised great power at various times. There have been several usurptions of power by consort clans, the most notable being the Han Dynasty's Empress Dowager Lü, the Tang Dynasty's Empress Wu, and the Qing Dynasty's Empress Dowager Cixi. The Han Dynasty usurper Wang Mang was a relative of the Grand Empress Dowager Wang. During the Qing dynasty, the Imperial government encouraged Chinese clans to take up some quasi-governmental functions such as those involved social welfare and primary education.
  • Un Clan chino es un grupo patrilocal y patrilineal de gente china relacionada con un apellido común y manteniendo un antepasado común, en muchos casos, un lugar ancestral.
  • 宗族（そうぞくまたはしゅうぞく）とは、父系同族集団のこと。古代東アジア法とローマ法に存在した。
  • 宗族指拥有共同祖先的人群集合，通常在同一聚居地，形成大的聚落，属于现代意义上模糊的族群概念。类似的用语还有“家族”，小范围内，有时“宗族”和“家族”互相混淆使用。一个宗族通常表现为一个姓氏，并构成的居住聚落；一个宗族可以包括很多家族。 宗族共同祭祀祖先的地方称为祠堂（宗祠）； 记录宗族历史的主要资料为族谱（家谱）； 宗族之间由于矛盾引发的冲突，称为宗族冲突（宗族械斗）； 宗族居住群落具有防御功能。福建民居土楼即为典型的家族聚居建筑，一座土楼可以居住数十户到上百户家族成员。 中国大陆在1960年代以前的经济欠发达时代，农村地区的村落，多为一个姓氏为主集中居住，大的宗族居住地形成村庄或集镇，很多地名源自宗族聚落，如北方地区的王家庄、赵家庄、李家庄，南方的张村（张家村）、王村（王家村）等等类似地名，均已宗族姓氏形成的地名，大陆1980年代拍摄的电影芙蓉镇即在湘西永顺县王村镇拍摄的。2000年代，远离中心城市的农村地区、山区，仍旧存在以宗族聚居为主的村落。
