Is there a prescribed format for writing genealogy? Who can tell me a style? ask for advice

China has a long tradition of studying genealogy archives. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zuo Qiuming wrote The Family Biography of Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period, which adopted a large number of genealogy archives materials from official and noble families such as Lu and Jin at that time, and became the research object of genealogy archives's utilization. Sima Qian compiled Historical Records in the Han Dynasty and widely adopted genealogy archives, which officially opened the study of genealogy archives's utilization. The Book of Surnames, written by Gaby in Jin Dynasty, is the first genealogy archives monograph in China, and the research and utilization of genealogy archives tends to be mature. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wang, Monks and Confucianism inherited and developed Gaby's research results and compiled the genealogy of eighteen states, and the research and utilization of genealogy files reached its peak. Emperor Taizong and Wu Zetian wrote the Records of Surnames and Clans, and Lin Bao wrote the Records of Yuanhe Surnames. Although genealogy archives's research is developing, there is no big breakthrough in the level. Zheng Qiao wrote Tongzhi in the Song Dynasty? A Brief Introduction to Clans contains more than 100 genealogies, which continues the tradition of genealogy archives studies. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although private genealogy was very popular, the research on genealogical files was coming to an end. Since the May 4th Movement, it has become the demand and voice of the times to study, utilize and develop genealogy archives with modern scientific methods. Pan Guangdan and Yang Dianxun, famous scholars, adapted to the requirements of the times, published a large number of books and papers on genealogy archives studies through scientific argumentation and analysis of genealogy archives, and initially completed the transformation of genealogy archives studies from classical to modern and from manual to scientific. Unfortunately, since then, the research on genealogy archives has stagnated, and the influential research results are even rarer. Faced with this grim situation, as a modern archivist, I have the responsibility and obligation to carry on this work.

According to the situation and relationship of genealogy itself, we can find that genealogy archives includes the following aspects: 1. Life and death. The most important thing for genealogy archives is to record the time, place and situation of birth and death of male members of this family in detail, so as to comprehensively, completely and accurately reflect the development, reproduction and changes of this family population. Second, blood relationship. Genealogy archives sketched out the consanguinity among the male members of this family in detail, and formed a complete and complicated lineal consanguinity network centered on men. Third, marriage. The genealogy file also describes the marital relationship network of male members of this family, and the surnames, ages and families of wives and concubines of each male family member are indispensable records. Fourth, the place of origin. Genealogy archives recorded the ancestral home, native place and current residence of the family in detail, which fully reflected the long process of the family's long-term migration. 5. contract. One of the purposes of compiling genealogy archives is to set up a monument for family members and record their main experiences, status and achievements in genealogy archives. Sixth, the rules. Genealogy archives's family rules, precepts and admonitions are mostly attached. The ideological connotation of these rules, commandments and admonitions is nothing more than warning future generations to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, to honor their ancestors, to abandon evil and to promote good, and its positive significance is worthy of recognition. Seven, literature. A large number of family documents, such as works, articles, pictures, calligraphy, etc. Created by family members, wills, gifts and official letters received by family members are all attached to the books of genealogy archives, which are of great historical value and rare.

As a special kind of archives, genealogy archives has its own inherent characteristics of information resources compared with other types of archives. First of all, genealogy archives's information resources are secret. The formation, preservation and utilization of genealogy archives are the responsibilities of the family, and even the specific figures in the family are often kept secret and inaccessible to outsiders. This determines that the information resources of genealogy archives are highly private and secretive, and need to be developed and utilized to turn them into public resources and serve the society. Second, genealogy archives's information resources are long-lasting. Genealogy archives itself and its information resources have been formed for hundreds or thousands of years, with long information coverage and long-term development and utilization. Third, genealogy archives's information resources are primitive. Genealogy archives's content is the personal experience of the recorder or custodian, and it is the original first-hand information. It is unpretentious without carving and processing the day after tomorrow. After processing, its information resources can become exquisite jade carvings. Genealogy archives's information resources are stable. The content and form of genealogy archives have been fixed for a long time, with little change, and its information resources are relatively stable, regular and easy to develop and utilize. Of course, it goes without saying that genealogy archives's information resources also have some defects and deficiencies. Some propagandize reactionary bloodline theory, some advocate personal hero view, and some spread feudal superstition. These are the dross of genealogy archives's information resources and should be discarded.

There are many ways to provide and utilize information resources in genealogy archives. It is one of the most basic and simple forms of providing and utilizing information resources in genealogy archives. According to their own purposes, users directly use the information resources in genealogy archives and turn them into social or economic benefits. However, this form of provision and utilization will damage genealogy archives itself, and it remains a major, simple and inefficient means of provision and utilization. In order to avoid damaging genealogy archives, some archival institutions try to make miniature copies of genealogy archives by using photographic microfilm technology, which is a good way to provide and use. With the advent of the era of microcomputer network, it is possible to input genealogy archives into the microcomputer network for users to look up and query, and put it into action. For example, Shanghai and Singapore jointly set up a root-seeking website to input genealogy files into the microcomputer network system for users to use, so that the provision and utilization of genealogy files have risen to a high-level, complex and efficient level.

There are many forms, methods and means to carry out scientific research in genealogy archives and develop information resources in genealogy archives. Editing is the main method of scientific research in genealogy archives. The compilation and research achievements of genealogy archives mainly include: 1. data compilation. The types of data compilation are full-recorded, abridged and combined. The compilation of complete records of genealogy archives is the arrangement, processing and publication of all genealogy archives. It can provide users with genealogy archives information comprehensively and completely, and provide users with a choice opportunity to use it, eliminating the rough and selecting the fine, eliminating the false and retaining the true. The compilation of brief genealogy archives mainly includes celebrity genealogy, regional genealogy, period genealogy and special genealogy. However, it is slightly insufficient in making full use of genealogy archives. The advantage of the combination of genealogy archives's compilation with complete recording and extraction lies in that it not only absorbs the advantages of the above two kinds of compilation, but also abandons their shortcomings, so it can be said that you can have your cake and eat it. Second, the chronology. Using genealogy archives to edit celebrity chronology is also one of the achievements. Using genealogy archives data, according to the chronological order of year, month and day, a detailed record of someone's whole life process from birth to death is someone's chronology. Chronology plays an important and irreplaceable role in understanding a person's life experience and background. Third, the atlas. Due to the limitation of ancient backward science and technology, it is difficult for us to know the true face of the ancients. However, a large number of pictures of ancient people's faces, residential shapes and cemetery topography are preserved in genealogy archives. These pictures are beautifully drawn and authentic. It is very rare and precious to extract them from genealogy archives and compile them into an atlas. Fourth, about books. Carrying out scientific research and writing papers and works in genealogy archives is not only a product of utilizing genealogy archives's information resources, but also a tool for developing genealogy archives's information resources. They are the most common and common compilation and research results. V. Biography. Genealogy archives is also the main source of materials for compiling historical biographies, literature and movies. The most striking features of biographies of historical figures are authenticity, reliability, novelty and uniqueness, and strong readability. In order to maintain these characteristics, genealogical files are essential, and genealogical files are the prototype and foundation of biography. 6. Electronic software. It is also one of scientific research achievements to compile genealogy archives into electronic software and input it into microcomputer network. The difference between it and inputting genealogy files directly into the microcomputer network is that it processes the information resources of genealogy files, which reflects the intention of editors, and does not simply transform genealogy files from words to electronic carriers.

Through the development and utilization of information resources in genealogy archives, it can bring us great social and economic benefits.

Genealogy archives information resources are assistants in compiling history and local chronicles. Compiling historical records is one of the most basic and traditional functions of genealogy archives. Due to the long history, many important historical facts can not be seen at a glance, which brings great difficulties to the compilation of historical books. Relevant records in genealogy archives often become the key to solve the mystery of history. 1992, the sixth national symposium on Zhuge Liang was held. Zhuge Fangcheng, the 49th grandson of Zhuge Liang, who lives in Zhejiang, provided Zhuge's genealogy to the congress, which solved the long-standing problem in the history circle, that is, the survival problem of Zhuge Liang's descendants in 2000. When the Archives Bureau of Handan City, Hebei Province compiled the works of Zhang Tingfu, a martyr of the Revolution of 1911, the work came to a standstill due to the lack of historical materials. Later, by consulting Zhang's genealogy, many questions were clarified and finally compiled into a book.

Genealogy archives information resources are the carriers of traditional culture. There are many traditional cultures in genealogy archives, most of which are of positive significance and are an important part of Chinese traditional civilization. We have the responsibility to inherit and carry forward them. The discovery of Xiao's genealogy in Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province recorded in detail the process of Xiao Zhibao, a famous figure in this area, taking part in the imperial examination four times, from which we can get a glimpse of the ancient imperial examination system.

Genealogy archives's information resources are a bridge to unify the motherland. In recent years, overseas Chinese, compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong and Macao have returned to their original places to check their genealogy and worship their ancestors. Taiwan Province compatriots, in particular, according to genealogy records, came to their ancestral homes in mainland China and truly realized that they were real China people, not "Taiwan Province people" as Taiwan independence said, which enhanced their national pride and centripetal force and played an irreplaceable role in opposing Taiwan independence and promoting reunification. As can be seen from news reports, even Taiwan independence diehard Lv Xiulian once went back to Fujian to visit his former residence and consult his genealogy.

Genealogy archives's information resources are tools for economic development. Influenced by the traditional small-scale peasant economy, the family economy occupies a certain proportion in the main economic components of China, especially the Sanpower family consortium, which is ubiquitous. In recent years, the motherland has implemented the policy of attracting foreign investment, and the three countries have come to the mainland to invest and set up factories. The first place where they invest and set up factories is often the ancestral home and native place recorded in the genealogy file. An overseas Chinese surnamed Lin, whose ancestral home is in Xinxiang City, Henan Province, collected genealogy from relevant departments, established the National Lin Clan Association, and mobilized members to invest and set up factories, which greatly promoted the economic development of Xinxiang City.

Genealogy archives's information resources are the link of national unity. China is a unified multi-ethnic country with more than 50 ethnic minorities. Due to the limitation of objective historical conditions, these ethnic minorities are extremely short of historical materials, and genealogy archives information resources make up for this gap. Pengcheng Chunqiu, a genealogy of Liu family in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, records many historical facts about the development and changes of Liu minority families, which is very valuable.

Genealogy archives information resources are the source of population data. The lack of historical data on population development in China has brought many inconveniences to the family planning work, while the information resources in genealogy archives just make up for its deficiency and become important reference materials for the family planning work. From the information resources of genealogy archives, we can collect the data of ancient population development and flow, and summarize the analysis report of population development and flow. For example, the Bai Family Tree compiled in Wu 'an, Hebei Province during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty records in detail the history of the family moving from Shanxi to Handan during the Yongle period (1403- 1425). From the genealogy of Xie family in Cixian County, Hebei Province, it can be found that from the first year of Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty (1368) to the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong in the early Qing Dynasty (1736), the family grew from a couple to 180 people.

Genealogy archives information resources are hydrogeological data. Because genealogy archives mostly record the geomantic veins around family houses and graves, we can use it to find out the evolution of ancient topography, understand the general situation of geology and hydrology and serve the economic construction.

Hundred Family Names is the most popular and widely circulated textbook in China. It was written and popularized earlier than Saint Amethyst. According to the textual research of scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty, the arrangement of the first few surnames in the book is exquisite: Zhao Zhi, since it is the surname of the monarch, should be the first; Followed by Qian, Qian is the surname of King Wu Yue of the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries; Sun was the surname of Princess Ganchu at that time; Li is the king of Southern Tang Dynasty. He judged that "Hundred Family Names" "seems to have been written by Wang when the Qian family in Zhejiang had a country". According to historical records, after the founding of Song Taizu, wuyue still existed for some time, and only in the second year of rejuvenating the country in Song Taizong did he lead his troops to surrender. It can be seen that this book was published in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Hundred Family Names" adopts four fonts and rhymes. Although its content is not artistic, it is easy to read, learn and remember. Together with Three Amethyst and Qian Wen Zi, it became a fixed textbook in ancient China. This book is quite practical, and it is good to be familiar with it from ancient times to the present.

According to the traditional idea, people will meet their ancient ancestors after death. Ancestors who deny their descendants are not allowed to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

Before the patient dies, his family must give him a bath and change clothes. This is actually the victim's first plastic surgery. But this kind of bathing and changing clothes has gone far beyond the material form of clothes themselves.
