ABSTRACT
Living arrangements include three basic forms: single living, nuclear family, and extended family. This chapter focuses on conjugality and household extension since single living has little value for a study of Hui traditionality and Han modernity. The nuclear family consists of a couple and their unmarried children. It also includes childless couples or one of the parents (the other is either dead or divorced) living with one of their married or unmarried children. An extended family is a household unit that consists of any family members outside the core nuclear family unit.
