[quote=CHAICHAI,367607]香火观念 is a traditional concept of maintaining the bloodline of a family. It is a feudalistic concept that a family must want boys not girls to be the heirs/descendants of the family. "继后香灯" also means "继后香火", suggests that to give birth to boys is a family" light "to continue the family. If the family doesn't have boys , the family will not have heirs, which is called the family "light" is extinguished "香火灭了" .[/quote]
