Why make up a family tree? What does genealogy mean?

After the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the wind of arrangement became more popular from the official to the folk, and every family had a score and emerged one after another. Every time it becomes a grand meeting between people with the same surname and clan, and every time it becomes a grand meeting for clan communication.

The ancestral teachings recorded in genealogy are the teachings of our ancestors, the crystallization of our culture, and the glory and principles of our family. For example, Zhuge Liang made rules for the whole family. A gentleman's trip, quiet in Xiu De, frugal to cultivate one's morality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. To be the code of conduct for future generations of Zhuge family.

Genealogy is a folk culture. Genealogy is a family book and a family history. The older the family tree, the greater the meaning. The genealogy of Confucius' family is not limited to Confucius' family, but related to the history of the origin and influence of China culture. The Qiao family tree in Shanxi reflects a part of Shanxi's development history, and it is also a part of Shanxi's and even China's commercial history. The genealogy of official studies in past dynasties is the reference history recorded in the official history of which era. Of course, for the vast majority of families and clans, its role is not so great and important. But it is also an important means to reflect the local situation, and more importantly, it reflects the traditional education within the family. From this perspective, it is necessary to establish a genealogy. This is not the government's business. The archives of townships and counties, even the major events of units at or above the bureau level, as well as the major events of the state, are all matters of governments at all levels. Genealogy is a matter for ordinary people. Nowadays, with the improvement of cultural level, more and more ethnic groups attach importance to genealogy and new genealogy.
