“…Surplus product theory is derived from the study of surplus value and was systematically analyzed by the German sociologist Marx on the basis of previous studies. In the interpretation of urbanization development, it is considered that a surplus labor force in the agricultural sector will be absorbed into the manufacturing sector due to the continuous progress of agricultural technology and the development of the manufacturing industry, and the rural surplus labor force gradually transforms into an urban labor force with urban residents [17]. Central place theory was put forward by German urban geographer Christaller in 1933 and German economist A. Lösch in 1940.…”

There is a growing number of studies on the phenomenon of urbanization and family migration in China, but there is a lack of corresponding underlying logical constructs to explain the underlying patterns of the phenomenon. Based on the development of Western urbanization theories, it is proposed that the traditional urbanization theories, which are purely based on economic dynamics, are insufficient to explain the characteristic patterns of Chinese household urbanization, and traditional urbanization theories usually ignore the role of Chinese family-oriented cultural concepts. Through a theoretical review and a summary of the characteristics of the phenomenon, we propose an analytical framework based on “culture–institution”, in which the cultural and ethical concepts represented by family orientation and intergenerational upbringing are the ideological basis of family urbanization. In this process, China’s household registration system and land system have resulted in the coexistence of multiple stages of urbanization, such as moving to the city, moving to the city in stages, and moving back to the city. The purposes of this study are to explain the phenomenon of Chinese family urbanization by constructing a “culture–institution” framework and to expand the relevant content of China’s theoretical urbanization system. A deep understanding of family urbanization with Chinese characteristics is important for the steady promotion of new urbanization in the new era.
