有其父，必有其子

有其父，必有其子

Literally means:

like father, like son

Actually means:

What the father is like is what the son will be like. It means that the son resembles his father's idea and behavior. It often means that the father's shortcoming has been passed on to the son. Often derogatory.

有什么样的父亲，就会有什么样的儿子。指儿子的思想行为很像父亲。多指父亲有不好的地方，儿子也有。多具有贬义色彩。
