Patch Tess: 九族

Chinese word Jiuzu occurs in the feudal society more than 2000 years ago and has great relationship with the cruel criminal law system.

Especially, when one person committed crimes, not only he but also his relatives (including four of his elder generations and four younger generations as well as his family) were also sentenced to severe punishments. (“一人犯法、株连九族”)
