Status hyper gamy, in which the husband has higher social sta tus than his wife, was also com mon in the past because the Chi nese patri ar chal tra di tion defined the cou ple's sta tus based solely on the sta tus of the hus band and his fam ily (e.g., Chen et al 2018;Ebrey 1991).

In the past century, China has undergone rapid and dramatic social and economic changes. This article describes trends in educational assortative marriages of cohorts born in 1906–1995 in China. We measure educational attainment relatively as an individual's percentile position in the education distribution of a 10-year birth cohort and study trends using comparable, easy-to-interpret couple rank-rank correlations. We analyze microdata samples from the 1982, 1990, 2000, and 2010 China censuses and the 2015 1% intercensus survey and nationally representative surveys between 1996 and 2018. We find a large and steady increase in educational assortative marriage over the past century, except among those born in 1946–1965, whose schooling and marriage were impacted by the Cultural Revolution. Our study highlights the critical roles of social, political, and economic contexts in shaping trends in educational assortative marriage.

“…When individuals from two of the genetically distinguishable groups had children together, genetic admixture occurred. For instance, due to the traditional preference for some Chinese parents to have more sons than daughters [43], a certain percentage of males had little choice but to marry females from other ethnic groups, which was not uncommon and increased overtime [44]. Then if the children (male) were assigned to the ethnic group to which their mother belonged to, admixture happened paternally.…”

Inference of population structure and admixture proportion from Y chromosomal data of Chinese population

et al. 2022

In the past two decades, Y chromosome data has been generated for human population genetic studies. These Y chromosome datasets were produced with various testing methods and markers, thus difficult to combine them for a comprehensive analysis. In this study, we combine four human Y chromosomal datasets of Han, Tibetan, Hui, and Li ethnic groups. The dataset contains 27 microsatellites and 137 single nucleotide polymorphisms these populations share in common. We assembled a single dataset containing 2439 individuals from 25 nationwide populations in China. A systematic analysis of genetic distance and clustering was performed. To determine the gene flow of the studied population with worldwide populations, we modeled the ancestry informative markers. The reference panel was regarded as a mixture of South Asian (SAS), East Asian (EAS), European (EUR), African (AFR), and American (AMR) populations from 1000 Genomes data of Y chromosome using nonlinear data‐fitting. We then calculated the admixture proportion of these four studied populations with 26 worldwide populations. The results showed that the Han and Hui have great genetic affinity, and Hui is the most admixed ethnic group, with 61.53% EAS, 34.65% SAS, 1.91% AFR, 1.56% AMR, and 0.04% EUR ancestry component (the AMR is highly admixed and thus should be ignored). All the other three ethnic groups contained more than 97% EAS ancestry component. The Li is the least admixed population in this study. The combined dataset in this study is the largest of this kind reported to date and proposes reference population data for use in future paternal genetic studies and forensic genealogical identification.

“…This helps delineate social, economic and institutional boundaries between groups in historical China. Our first paper on the topic examined interethnic marriage in the CMGPD-SC for insight into whether in a unique institutional setting where Han and Manchu were allowed to intermarry without being affected by rules forbidding marriage between affiliates of the Eight Banners and regular civilians, they would do so (Chen, Campbell, & Dong, 2018). We found that marriage between Manchu and Han was common and that its likelihood depended on family characteristics including a family history of intermarriage, local marriage market composition, and other factors.…”

The Lee-Campbell Group has spent forty years constructing and analysing individual-level datasets based largely on Chinese archival materials to produce a scholarship of discovery. Initially, we constructed datasets for the study of Chinese demographic behaviour, households, kin networks, and socioeconomic attainment. More recently, we have turned to the construction and analysis of datasets on civil and military officials and other educational and professional elites, especially their social origins and their careers. As of July 2020, the datasets include nominative information on the behaviour and life outcomes of approximately two million individuals. This article is a retrospective on the construction of these datasets and a summary of their findings. This is the first time we have presented all our projects together and discussed them and the results of our analysis as a single integrated whole. We begin by summarizing the contents, organization, and notable features of each dataset and provide an integrated history of our data construction, starting in 1979 up to the present. We then summarize the most important results from our research on demographic behaviour, family, and household organization, and more recently inequality and stratification. We conclude with a reflection on the importance of data discovery, flexibility, interaction and collaboration to the success of our efforts.
