		A Chinese clan (Chinese: 宗族; pinyin: zōngzú) is a patrilineal and patrilocal group of related Chinese people with a common surname and sharing a common ancestor and, in many cases, an ancestral village (see clan).
		Clan loyalties tend to be very strong in the south of China, and to a large extent are reinforced by ties to the ancestral village, common property, and often a common spoken Chinese dialect which can be unintelligible to people outside the village.
		Clan structures tend to be weaker in the north of China, clan members do not usually reside in the same village nor share property in common.
