Anybody care to introduce me to this? Why does it have to be father's sister but mother's sibling? And how does elder and younger cousins behave differently?
表姐, in case you were wondering.
At first glance this looked like a code smell, but after some reflection I can't think of a cleaner, more readable way to uniquely identify each possible relationship -- especially in a strongly-typed language with an IDE.

You need an intermediate representation (like a tree) rather than attempt to brute force every possible permutation up until some arbitrary point. Even if that weren't the case, it'd be better to give it a more obscure name or create some kind of naming system and then document it rather than demonstrate why self-documenting code can become self-defeating if taken to an extreme.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
HN should add the CSS rule "word-wrap:break-word". In fact this rule should almost always be the default for text that might contain excessively long words (such as user-submitted text on forums).
(...Or german)

Younger Cousin should be 表妹. Was the title edited?

In Chinese culture, your male line ancestry matter more. Your mother's family is considered auxiliary ('外家'), thus only your father's brother's children are considered in the same family, and these cousins are labeled “堂”, all the other cousins are labeled "表”, and "姐" means older sister.
Is this why it is a mother's sibling of any gender, but only a father's sister?
Possibly denoting similar v different family names?
