中國的家庭觀念與其文化傳統(tǒng)有關(guān)。和睦的大家庭曾非常令人羨慕。過去四代同堂并不少見。由于這個傳統(tǒng)，許多年輕人婚后繼續(xù)與父母同住。今天，這個傳統(tǒng)正在改變。隨著住房條件的改善，越來越多年輕夫婦選擇與父母分開住。但他們之間的聯(lián)系依然很密切。許多老年人仍然幫著照看孫輩，年輕夫婦也抽時間探望父母，特別是在春節(jié)和中秋等重要節(jié)日。 

Chinese family values are related to their cultural traditions. A big harmonious family (harmonious extendedfamily) was very enviable. In the past, four generations living under one roof were not uncommon. Because of this tradition, many young people decided to live with their parents when they were married. However, this tradition is changing today. An increasing number of young couples choose to live separately from their parents as the result of better housing conditions, but their connectionsare still very close. Many senior people still help to look after their grandchildren, and young couples try their best to find time to visit their parents, especially during important festivals like the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
