One Hundred and Eight Character Biography of the Bai Family

Author of this book: Meili Yage (Mei Yage) Real name: Yang Yongge (Pavilion of His Excellency Yage) "The One Hundred and Eight Character Rules of the Bai Family" was born in the first year of Kangxi. It was jointly developed by the palace doctor, the father of the fifth lady (a martial arts scholar), the fifth lady and Granny Bai. There are a total of 108 complete rules in the family rules. It is a grand ceremony handed down from generation to generation of the Bai family that is unique from the traditional family rules, subverts the ancient ethics, and becomes its own sect. This regulation completely covers the entire Bai family system: strict definitions of generational ethics, marriage, and bloodline inheritance. It is the first and unique seven clan branch systems of Neibai, Waibai, Baiyuan, Baidong, Baixi, Southeast, Northwest Bai, and Bai Gang, which are strict and hierarchical. The iron rule of the Bai family: Anyone who enters the Bai family must change their surname to Bai. Regardless of foreign surnames, whether they are married-in-laws, servants, craftsmen and tenants, or stewards and shopkeepers, all those who belong to the Bai family system and are in charge of the Bai family's properties - restaurants, shops, fields, rentals, workshops, and housework - are all held by the Bai family. Throughout the ages, the family mottos of large families have been based on the respect for male supremacy, moderation and forbearance, and the restraint of etiquette. Only the 108 rules of the Bai family go in the opposite direction, adhering to the six-character core purpose of respecting women as the greatest, awakening women, and welcoming new life. The bottom line for establishing a clan: there are no widows or bachelors in the clan. The whole book takes Legalist family governance and strict rules as the core, completely abandoning the secular golden mean and muddy ways, using iron rules to establish family traditions, systems to determine human relations, and systems to be passed down through the ages. It is the only and unique patriarchal epic of women's awakening among Chinese folk.
