| Summary: | The law code of the Tangut state published recently by E. I. Kychanov I has an article. anIn1tsew1 -Degrees of Kinship- (Article 41 in Kychanov's numeration), compiled. in all likelihood, on the model of the Chinese "Degrees of Mourning" (Sang Fu). A list of kinship terms appears in this article, classified into five groups depending on the length of time that mourning was to be observed for one or another relative. The length of mourning was determined by the proximity of kinship, so that the mourning grades serve to group kin by closeness of relationship. |
