of Chinese society,and it occupies an important position in Chinese society.Chinese traditional culture advocates "cultivate one's morality,promote one's family,govern the country,and make the world flat".Thus,it can be seen that running the family is the extension of cultivating one's morality,the connotation of running the country,and plays the role of connecting the preceding and the following.For thousands of years,China has rich management practice experience in family management,and has formed a family-centered management thought,which has been passed down from generation to generation and still has fresh vitality.Along with the development of society,the family as the most basic social organization still exists,the family by the collision of western culture in today's

cultural identity and cultivating overall consciousness.The goal of family management,regardless of the dynasty,is sustainable development,which can be said to be the overall goal of ancient families.The overall goal can be divided into three sub-goals: harmony,inheritance and development.The typical characteristics of family management thought in ancient China are the personnel management,the goal-oriented property management and the cultural management that attaches great importance to ethics.Finally,this paper obtains its enlightenment to the management of modern family
