| | Chinese translation:直系血親 or 直系尊親 | Explanation:
In this case, I take "ascending" as being "lineal". I believe it means someone who has a direct (lineal) biological relationship to you, and this includes your parents and grandparents as you suggested, but also your children and gradnchildren. A common term used in Chinese would be 直系血親 which means lineal relatives. To be more specific as to describing the "ascending" portion, then 直系尊親 would be a proper translation. |
