FAQ

A: Find title mode is suitable when you know the relative relationship path and want to know the correct form of address; find relationship mode is suitable when you know the form of address and want to understand the specific family relationship. The two modes can be used to verify the accuracy of each other's results.

A: In the traditional Chinese kinship terminology system, different genders may use different forms of address for the same relative, and the direction of address also affects the result. For example, a man calls his father's older brother "bofu," but bofu would call a man "nephew" and a woman "niece."

A: Click the buttons in the order of the kinship relationship. For example, to look up "father's older brother," first click "father," then click "older brother." The system will display the complete relationship path, and you can use the back function to make corrections at any time.

A: It supports common traditional Chinese family relationships, including direct and collateral relatives on both the paternal and maternal sides, covering multiple generations such as grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, as well as collateral relationships such as aunts and uncles.

A: China is vast, and kinship terms vary across local dialects. The tool mainly includes standard terms commonly used in modern life. One form of address may correspond to multiple relationship scenarios, so the system lists all possible combinations for reference.

A: "What I call the other person" refers to how you address this relative; "What the other person calls me" refers to how this relative addresses you. For example, you call the other person "grandfather," and the other person calls you "grandson/granddaughter."

A: The tool is designed based on the traditional Chinese standard kinship terminology system and is highly accurate for common family relationships. However, due to regional and cultural differences, it is recommended to use it together with local customs, and consult elders in the family for special cases.

A: Currently, it mainly supports common relatives within three generations. For more complex distant relationships (such as a cousin’s children), we recommend first clarifying the direct relationship path, then reasoning it out step by step, or consulting elders who know the family genealogy.
