In the family fictions of Ming and Qing dynasties, there is a new attitude to the role of fathers, which is not to respect and extol, but to belittle and blaspheme them. These fictions always depicted the paternal duty breach with the retreat of fathers, and dispelled their authority with fatherless narration; they even uglified the image of fathers to show their defects of personality, ability or morality; the disintegration and impact of prodigal sons in the conflicts between fathers and sons also declared the decadent trend of the traditional patriarchal civilization and social system maintained by patriarchy.
