“科举家族”定义商榷

就张杰先生对"科举家族"的定义提出异议,认为定义中的"聚族而居"应改换成"族员间有较强的血缘认同感"为宜,即异地进士若能认族归宗,即使两人世居不同的省府县,亦视他们为同一家族族员,突破必须世代聚居一地方可视为同一家庭的定义局限。

Query on the Definition of "Imperial Examination Kindred"

This paper raises a query on Zhang Jie's definition of"Imperial Examination Kindred,"arguing that the statement of"living together by clustering around the same kindred"in the definition should be replaced with"strong blood identification within the kindred members," because the successful candidates in Imperial Examinations whose ancestors lived in different places should be regarded as the same kindred members if they identified themselves with the same kindred.
