Genealogy culture is an important culture of the Chinese nation. Why are many genealogies lost?

As we all know, in China culture, genealogy culture can be said to develop with the origin of China national culture. From the ancient matriarchal society to the present, genealogy culture and Chinese culture have lasted for thousands of years, which can be said to be important cultures throughout the development of Chinese culture. But with the continuous development of society, many young people have never seen such a thing as genealogy. As an important part of China traditional culture, genealogy culture has been lost with the changes of people's lifestyles and ideas. First of all, genealogy culture sprouted in primitive society and became perfect after the Tang Dynasty. In primitive society, ancient ancestors lived in groups. Later, with the development of society, clans appeared, so in order to meet the needs of clan reproduction, it provided a budding soil for genealogy. The patriarchal clan system came into being in the Zhou Dynasty in response to social development, and genealogy is a measure to consolidate the patriarchal clan system. Later, the feudal system in Han dynasty and the nine-product system in Wei and Jin dynasties made genealogy more and more important. In the Tang dynasty, in order to consolidate the status of the gentry, the genealogy was revised many times. At that time, it can be said that genealogy was a symbol of status, which made this period the most prosperous period of genealogy culture. After the Tang Dynasty, genealogy culture entered a perfect period, which mainly played the role of enlightenment and education.

Then, the loss of genealogy has a lot to do with the change of people's lifestyle and concept. Genealogy plays an important role in continuing the family bloodline and inheriting the legacy of ancestors, and it is also an important basis for us to find our roots and ask our ancestors. But now, due to many factors, genealogy culture has been lost. In modern society, genealogy is a very rare thing, mainly because people of the same family once lived together, and their feelings will be more familiar. However, in modern society, many people have moved away for better development. After several generations, people's contact with family of origin has decreased, so the consciousness of genealogy will weaken and people's ideas will change greatly, so genealogy will be gradually forgotten.

Finally, with the continuous progress of the times, people's lifestyles and ideas have undergone earth-shaking changes, but some traditional cultures need us to inherit and carry forward.
