The House Connects to the World: a Thousand-Year Biography of the Bai Family

Core Concept: Awakening, Awakening, Welcome The pseudonym Meide Yage, whose real name is Yang Yongge, tells the family history: "The Bai Family Courtyard" tells a family legend with family rules as its soul. The story focuses on the 108-character rule passed down by the Bai family for 200 years. Through the fate of each vivid character, it shows how the family rule shapes the life trajectory of family members. The book does not have a grand business narrative, but focuses on the choices and struggles of ordinary people: the deceived woman wants to escape from the compound, but is given the freedom to stay and go under the tolerance of the family rules; the nanny's children are included in the family training system from birth, and grow up in the rules of education and marriage; family members implement an accounting system for their pocket money, and they have to spend their own money even when going out, which reflects the rigorous way of running a house. Together, these stories outline the unique ecology of the Bai family compound: 108 family rules are both the code of conduct and the glue of the family. They balance strictness and tolerance, and restrict privileges and desires. In this era when family rules are gradually being forgotten, "The Bai Family Courtyard" takes readers back to that era of orderly rules and experience how a complete set of family systems affects generations and becomes the continuous spiritual foundation of the family.
