The Mosuo of China

The Mosuo tribe is one of the world’s oldest matrilineal societies. This tribe is located in southwestern China. The people of Mosuo regard a mother’s love as the core of humanity. Hence it is made the basis of the Mosuos’ matrilineal system. Traditionally, children belong to the mother, thus inheritance and kinship is through the mother’s family lineage.
