Definition and content structure of the X family tree

The family tree is a special kind of literature, which is also known as ancestor genealogy, clan genealogy, genealogy, genealogy, branch genealogy, genealogy, unification genealogy, genealogy, private genealogy, genealogy, etc. The family tree is the most important part of the X family tree, which is the most important part of the X family tree.

My X family is collectively known as genealogy according to the custom of the ancestors.

A complete family tree is a clan, family history or clan, family encyclopedia. Through a genealogy, you can learn about the history of my X family, lineage reproduction, population change, change of residence, marital status; the status, role and deeds of the members of my family in the political and economic life of the family, official positions; my family's economic situation and marriage, funeral, rituals, family rules, family law and other rules and regulations. And genealogy is also precisely these contents in the form of books, charts, history, tables, records, become valuable cultural and historical information.

Genealogy is mainly textual content, picture information as a secondary, not limited to textual records, will be a good picture, maps, photographs, photos, group photos, portraits, frontal portraits into the genealogy, more responsive to the times and the spirit of the temperament, and to save a lot of textual description, become a record of a family lineage as the main relations between the main family reproduction and the important people of the deeds of the history of the picture book.

According to modern statistics, Chinese genealogy is still preserved in its entirety, mainly in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, accounting for nearly 90% of the total number of genealogies. Although there are many forms of genealogy, the compilation of its content is different, but its format and important content is more or less the same, there are chapters to follow.

Some are framed with charts and hung in the center hall, while others are bound into books for family members to read. Historically, the families of officials and eunuchs generally used bound books of genealogy. The common people, businessmen, gentry, and powerful families used to hang charted family trees in the center hall for their descendants to worship at a glance. Both have their own strengths, and my X family has adopted the traditional habit of using both. The chart genealogy has records of the dead and the living, and is treasured by the elders of each branch, while the chart genealogy only records the people who rode the crane for the descendants to worship.

The center of the hall, also known as the hall, will be open or slightly smaller than the full open material paper and hung individually or in the couplets between the banners. It is wide and long, and is mainly hung in the center of the hall.

Banners and hand scrolls: the width of the banners is not as wide as the straight width of the painting and calligraphy in the center of the hall, can be rolled and hung. Hand scroll is the painting and calligraphy framed in the form of rolls, hand scrolls are large and small, can not be hung, can only be displayed.

Chapter 2? Genealogy and genealogy

Genealogy and catalog is the beginning of the edge of the path of genealogical literacy. Genealogical regulations, also known as the general regulations, is in the form of provisions to clarify the genealogical compilation principles and practices, as well as the rationale for the arrangement of categories.

The genealogical regulations emphasize the purity of the family lineage, maintain the ethical norms centered on men, and indicate that they continue to follow the genealogical principle of "transmitting faith by faith, and transmitting doubt by doubt".

The genealogy theory is a collection of genealogy points of the sages and Confucian scholars explaining the method of genealogy and the importance of genealogy, which is of great significance to guide the genealogy, and is also a valuable material for the study of genealogy.

Genealogy is the history of a family. I X genealogy is a systematic description of my X lineage of clansmen and their related circumstances of the history of the chart book. X that is, my family is the same clan **** ancestor blood relations of the identification number. The basic content of my X genealogy is the preface, the origin of the name, the clan lineage charts, genealogy, clan culture (arts and culture, clan rules, the word according to the clothing system, customs and taboos), biographies of celebrities illustrations and postscripts and other parts.

The X's ancestor said: three generations do not repair the genealogy for unfilial, so the spectrum can not be repaired. Hope that my descendants adhering to the legacy of respect for the repair of genealogical matters to respect the ancestors, respect for the clan, harmony for the purpose of self-restraint, adhere to ethics and morality and fine traditions, agreed to renew the genealogy every 15 years cycle, not interrupted to the plain language will be the X family lineage and the overall situation of my family tree is very clear to the genealogy. Records must be recorded in the father's family lineage, characters as the center, a concise record of the same clan **** ancestor lineage characters and deeds and other key points, recorded in the various branches of the family descendants of the lineage inheritance status. Even after the old families have multiplied into many new families, and after the new families have evolved again, it is necessary to record the blood relations between the families clearly.

Writing a genealogy requires extensive collection of information, from historical books, modern media, access to the family's ancient and modern celebrities from all walks of life. This process takes a lot of time, to read all kinds of historical manuscripts, check all kinds of characters dictionary. The genealogy team is responsible for accomplishing these tasks.

The patriarch of each branch of the X family to repair the genealogy of this major event for the parents to know, and the household as a unit according to the repair of the genealogy requirements of the sample form format statistics, and make sure that the real, on time to the repair of the genealogy of the leader, in order to summarize the original information in a timely manner, in order to facilitate the successful completion of the repair of this genealogy of the major events. Genealogy is also by virtue of the above content will be the family's historical origins, migration, successive generations of heroes and sages to preserve and pass on to future generations.

After the genealogy is finalized, the writing or printing should be done on good quality paper or fabric, the size of the book and the chart should be appropriate and in line with traditional customs, and the colors should never fade, so that it can be treasured and passed on from generation to generation.

After the genealogy is repaired, before it is distributed to the clansmen, each genealogy should be numbered and signed for.

In order to find the roots of the ancestors, the future, the genealogy should be properly stored, never lost, so that it will become one of the links to enhance the cohesion of my X family.

Because of the interference of the Cultural Revolution and other factors, the repair of genealogy matters delayed, apologize to the ancestors.

2. The revision of my X family members are still unanimous in adhering to the old ancestor's legacy: in order to ensure the health and reproduction of my X family, men and women within five generations of direct relatives are strictly prohibited from intermarriage. (Genealogy can be found, this strict rules have been more than XX years of history and has been inherited unchanged.)

3. Adult weddings in the X family should adhere to Han Chinese wedding customs and ceremonies. If the partners are from ethnic minorities, they are not subject to this restriction.

4. Children born to the paternal line of my X Clan shall take their father's name. If they take their mother's name, follow their father's name, or change their own name, they will not be welcome and will be considered to be separated from the clan and will no longer be recorded in the genealogy.

9. Inheritance of property from stepchildren: According to the inheritance law, stepchildren have the right to inherit the inheritance of their stepparents, and others cannot and do not have the right to deprive them of it or interfere with it.

10. On the issue of cemeteries: my X family is still in accordance with the customary practice of the old ancestors, the elders of the clansmen of all branches after a hundred years can be free to choose the feng shui land into the ground, close relatives should participate in the rituals. Tombstones and tombstones are written by the children of the immediate family and are responsible for setting them up at their own expense to show that they are clear. Tombstones and tombstones are written by the children of the immediate family and are set up at their own expense to show that they have a clear vision of the deceased. The location of the deceased's grave is usually not recorded in the genealogy, but is passed down orally by the ancestors or recorded by the clansmen of the branch themselves, such as the name of the place, the location, the boundary, and the map of the grave.

I x family ranking poem writing is very elaborate:

1. In order to facilitate the calculation of seniority, the first group of poems using a five-stanza four-word poem, ***xx words respectively represent xx generation. The second set of poems uses four five-character stanzas, again ***xx words representing xx generations respectively. Then, the third group of poems should be written in four-character five-line stanzas, and so on and so forth.
