How to write a family tree

Question 1: How is genealogy written The seven main elements of genealogy.

A source of the family name

The source of the family name is the source of the same family name and change, most of the Chinese family name is very old, if there is no ancient books or old records, it is difficult for future generations to investigate clearly. From a family name to a country a family, can not help but know where their roots come from, recognize the origin of their own surnames, each set of "genealogy" are detailed information on the origin of their own surnames, so that generations of inheritance, but also the root of the family lineage for thousands of years.

Chinese surnames have evolved through history, such as: war, migration, change of dynasties, as well as changing surnames to avoid changing surnames, changing surnames to refuge, changing surnames to single surnames, etc., surnames have become more complex, and their true origin, the source of the need for more detailed verification, the "genealogy" has a detailed record.

Feudal era, many surnames in order to raise their own rank and county, used to be associated with celebrities, or hard to trace back to an emperor as their ancestors. But they didn't realize that this affects the purity of the bloodline and the actuality, and the descendants can't be careful.

"Genealogy" in the "narrative lineage, the beginning of the seal" of the tradition, which is also aimed at "Ming Shiji, do not affinity" as well as the examination of the origin of the family name. The Genealogy has a chapter on surnames to describe the origin of the family name, or the history of the family name change for some reason. Therefore, the origin of the family name in the genealogy becomes very important, and it is a proof document to identify your family lineage.

Second, the hall number

The hall number is a special identification of a family name, which can show the origin of the family name of the geographic relationship. In genealogy, the hall number has the significance of linking the relationship between the family name and the clan, and is also one of the important clues for future generations to find their roots.

The name of the hall is usually taken from the name of the county or created in honor of the family history of ancestors or celebrities.

Generally speaking, the name of the hall is taken from the name of the county, the county is the establishment of the administrative region in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the name of the county is taken from the name of the county, or the name of the vassal state, the name of the local government, the state, the county. With the development and growth of the family name, there is a famous family name of each family name as the birthplace of the county name of the origin of the county number.

The big family for a long time, or in case of natural disasters in successive years, the clan will be due to migration, and scattered all over the place. This is why there is a method of adding "sub-tango" names under the "head-tango number". The "General Tong No." represents the birthplace of the family (family name) and symbolizes that the descendants will not forget the origin, while the "Sub-Tang No." is the name of the county in which the clan migrated to a new place and became a prestigious local family, and the "General Tong No." and "Sub-Tang No." are the names of the county in which the clan migrated to a new place, and the "General Tong No." and "Sub-Tang No." are the names of the sub-tangs. The "general hall number" and "sub-tang number" are collectively known as "county prestige".

Because of the various ethnic surnames are basically the name of the county as the county number of their own families, so there are a number of surnames with the phenomenon of a hall number. For example, Wang, Hu, the two surnames of the county is "Qinghe Tang".

Another origin of the name of the hall: self-created hall, is the family's own hall, the name of the name of the hall is different from the branches of the family name, the second is to remember the ancestors or celebrities of the public morals or teachings. For example: Yang's "four know the hall" means "heaven knows, earth knows, I know, son knows" style of people.

Three Descent Chart

If you find a genealogy about your life, what do you want to see the most? Do you want to know who your ancestors were? What are the celebrities and achievements of the family? Where is the family now? All the answers are in the genealogy table.

As the most important element of genealogy, the "pedigree chart" is, in short, a chart that describes the interrelationships between members of a family, such as fathers, sons, brothers, and writes the names of every member of the family who has descended from their ancestors. There are four basic formats: European, Soviet, Pagoda, and Ultimatum.

European style: also known as the horizontal line, was created by the Northern Song writer Ouyang Xiu. European style is characterized by: generation grid, from right to left horizontal, five generations of a table, it is very convenient to use. European style, each generation of people's names on the left side of a biographical note, introducing the person's word, number, title, official title, birth date, spouse, hiding place, achievements and so on.

Su style: also known as the hanging beads, is the Northern Song writer Su Xun founded. Su style lineage table is characterized by: generations straight line down, no horizontal line between generations, all with vertical line series, chart format is also arranged from right to left, mainly to emphasize the patriarchal relationship.

Pagoda style: As the name suggests, the names of the generations are arranged like a pagoda, from top to bottom. Pagoda style using horizontal and vertical line connection method, the vertical line is always in the middle of the horizontal line, which is a large number of people in the family, because the names can not be arranged on the same page, the relationship between the brothers is not clear, it will be written for the genealogy, genealogy brings a lot of inconvenience.

Ultimatum record type: do not use the horizontal and vertical lines connecting the relationship between the names of the generations, but purely text to express this ...... >>

Question 2: How to write a genealogy? There is no need to necessarily use paper genealogy slowly repair, try the electronic genealogy Oh. You can repair the genealogy while searching for roots, practical, our village are using a concentric circle genealogy, the people through the genealogy network,

Question 3: How to fill in the genealogy On the whole, the genealogy in the resume to fill in the following: times (such as Kun thirteen) - name - ranking (the first few sons of a male) - name aliases -Curriculum vitae (position) -Birth and death (hours and years) -Marriage (Chuan Ming family history, birth and death hours and years)

Question 4: How to write the format of the genealogy ah, what do you need. Say a simple ancient genealogy in the selection of officials, inheritance, marriage, socialization, property inheritance, harmony and other aspects have an important

role. Therefore, when compiling a family tree, these aspects should be included in order to pass on to the current and

future generations. For more than 3,000 years, the focus of genealogy has been different from one era to the next

. In the ancient times, genealogy was unique to kings, lords and nobles, and the role of genealogy was only to prove the lineage

of the lineage, and to serve for the inheritance of titles and property, which can be confirmed by the oracle bones and the relevant

part of the "Historical Records". The genealogy of the pre-Qin period is especially heavy on the lineage, and the content of the genealogy is relatively single, only for the lineage

. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, officials, marriages, and even social interactions were based on the family lineage, which greatly enhanced the role of genealogy in political

life, economic life, and social life, and the content of genealogy was correspondingly more than ever

Increased. The genealogy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty is now basically non-existent, from the surviving other works cited by the sporadic text

words and later reorganization of the information to see, but still can understand some of the basic situation. The content of the genealogy from Wei Jin to Tang Dynasty

roughly include: county, source, family lineage. Of course, the first written or name, name, including the word,

No., but also includes a small name, different names, aliases, and then record the life, rank (even if you have not done the official, is a sergeant

is also recorded on the spectrum), the year of death and death and the cause of the special causes of death (such as how to when, why was killed, and so on), the marital status

(the name of his wife and concubines, rank, the Yuejia family lineage, divorced, retired, and so on), siblings and children's official status

, brothers and sisters and children's work, and so on, and so forth.

After the Song Dynasty, genealogy no longer plays a role in political life, the role of genealogy is transferred to honor the ancestors, respect

Zong, and harmony, and therefore, the content of the genealogy has also undergone some changes. Song and Yuan times of the genealogy circulated very little,

Ming Dynasty genealogy is now preserved more, analyze, after the Song Dynasty genealogy basically removed about the Yue family

content, and the focus of the record moved to the ancestry, lineage, grace and honor, ancestral hall, residence, property, graves and other

aspects, especially in the heir and the contents of the pedigree related to the records in particular detail, but such as Yue family history, can also be written on. The first is to write the name of the family, and the second is to write the name of the family.

After the Song

generation of genealogy usually include: 1, the origin of the family name, generally always go back to the family ancestor, most

on the emperors, celebrities, in the form of a table of genealogical form, listing the family lineage. 2, the honor, the record of the family ancestor

Lizong's, such as the imperial examination, the official, and praised by the *** and so on, even if they have not done the official, but also to write on the office of the

scholar, is really the most important thing, but it is not a good idea to write the name of the family. p>

below the death of young Zhen, and the human family, etc., especially cautious, in order to prevent the emergence of the "impostor", "chaotic zong"

things, to ensure that the bloodline

The ancestral house is the place where the ancestors lived and lived, the ancestral hall is the place to worship the ancestors,

and the ancestral grave is the resting place of the ancestors, honoring the ancestors is of great significance to the unity of the clansmen, so

the rules of the ancestral halls, the records of the ancestral halls, the ancestral property, the righteous farms, the righteous fields, the family rites, the family training, and the topographical maps of the ancestral graves and the ancestral houses, and so on, are also documented in detail.

5, and finally, the family tradition.

Finally, there are family histories, which generally include epitaphs, lines, life sequences, annals, and

biographies of prestigious ancestors. Some genealogies also have a section dedicated to writings or arts and literature, which contains the writings of family ancestors,

poetry and literature, and so on.

Ancient Chinese genealogy, because of the different times, different roles, and therefore, the content of the record is not exactly the same

The same, generally speaking, it seems that the more the content of the later, the more the later record is more detailed, and with the appropriate is, the genealogy

of the format of the different eras is also not exactly the same.

The Shang and Zhou oracle bone and bronze genealogy only recorded lineage, the format is a line per person, explaining the relationship, relatively simple.

The format of the Han Dynasty genealogy is roughly three kinds: one for the horizontal grid table system, sub-generation sub-grid, according to the order of the times, the "History

Records" in the relevant table is its representative; the second is the unit of the name, the first recounting the origins of the family name, and then described the family lineage and the position of the official

The third is a consistent even writing, the Han Dynasty has been handed down to the present day, two pieces of inscriptions, "Sun Shou Ao monument" and "three old Zhao Kuan monument" is

its representative. p> Its representative. Wei Jin and North and South Dynasties is written in lines, or even line writing, each generation and the previous generation of empty a frame, which from the existing Northern Wei Xue

Question 5: How to write a family tree Family tree, also known as genealogy, family multiplier, genealogy, public genealogy, ancestor genealogy, genealogy book, family ultimatum, family ultimatum. It is a record of the family organization activities of the archives. The genealogy in Fujian started in the Song Dynasty and flourished after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The motive of genealogical revision is "to trace the origin, to separate the relatives, and to order the seniority and inferiority." (Anxi Xie Clan General Genealogy, Volume 1, Preface to the Joint Genealogy) Genealogies are in the form of bound books (anciently wire-bound, but today the same as the general printed materials) or charts. Many families compiling genealogy as a duty of future generations of children and grandchildren written into the family rules, re-maintaining the genealogy of different years. The Ji and Li families in Pucheng, northern Fujian Province, stipulate that the genealogy should be revised once every 30 years. The Fang Clan stipulates that "the genealogy of the virtuous descendants or ten years, thirty years a repair, then the survival of the burial place, the time is not cool. The Confucian saying, a life without repairing the genealogy for unfilial, it is appropriate to know." (Qing? Guangxu "Min Pu Fang genealogy") similar family rules, so that the repair of genealogy in the form of family law permanent.

The contents of the genealogy vary in detail, usually in addition to the records of the family's household, marriage and blood relations, there are also the graves of the family, the family field family property, ancestral temples, etc. location, number and management of the use of methods, the family statute of the admonition, the repair of the genealogy of the rules, all kinds of contracts and deeds of instruments, etc. Some of the more detailed. Some of the more detailed genealogy, but also recorded in the family over the generations of major events, disputes with the outside world, biographies of people who can be rewarded, the imperial examinations, biographies of celebrities, as well as righteousness and martyrdom, and so on.

The core content of the genealogy is to record the family's lineage, bloodline system. In order to prevent the disruption of blood relations and lead to the disintegration of the family. Liancheng "Xinquan Zhang genealogy" said at the beginning of the volume to understand: "affinity faction to the genealogy of its source, up and down the branch to the genealogy of its origin, that is, the analysis of the generation of change, but all have to test it." In order to achieve the purpose of showing the lineage, genealogy have recognized China's famous personage for the distant ancestors of the custom, this attached to the genealogy of the wind, although it can make its family multiply the glory, but often lead to the family history of the distortion and misleading to future generations. Anxi Hutou Li genealogy, recognized the ancestor for the founder of Taoism Li ear, direct lineage is "out of Longxi, for the Tang Emperor Li Yuan Gong's seedling." The Guo family name of Miaodu in Nanjing recognizes its ancestor as "Guo Shu," the brother of King Wen of Zhou ("Guo" and "Guo" sound close to each other), and it was founded on the belief that Guo Shu was the 27th descendant of Emperor Huangdi, and Guo Ziyi was the 60th descendant of Guo Shu, the 80th descendant of Emperor Huangdi, and the 80th descendant of Emperor Huangdi. He also deduced that his clan originated from Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Middle Tang Dynasty, from the fact that Guo Shu was the 27th descendant of Huangdi and Guo Ziyi was the 60th descendant of Guo Shu and the 87th descendant of Huangdi. (Nanjing Literary and Historical Materials, Issue 2, page 89, "The Historical Origins of the Guo Family Name in Miaodu", by He Liuzhi) These records are easy for the clan to believe. Others, such as the Liu family name must be traced back to the ancestor of Liu Bang, Xiao family name more than the source of the Xiao He, are such a strong celebrities, attached to the prestige of the family of the genealogy of the reflection of the mentality.

Genealogy, the family migration (foundation) under the first ancestor of the generation lineage arrangement is strictly clear, not to be confused. This is often the genealogy of the most historical value of the part. Many families in Fujian, are the implementation of the name ranking system (the ancient name "Zhaomu"), commonly known as "row generation". That is, in the same generation of clansmen in the name or word must use a unified provisions of a single word at the beginning, and then combined with other single word into a name or word, to show the difference. Such as a father had three sons, the children's name according to the "Yong" word arrangement, respectively, "Yongzhi", "Yongren", "Yonggui ". In this way, a glance at the "Yong" character in the genealogy will show that they are brothers or cousins. Has passed away, it is written in its name on the posthumous name and add the word "public" to show the difference, Shaxian custom, adopted children without the matriarch and the six relatives recognized, not on the genealogy lineup of characters, otherwise it will be scolded as "out of the penetration of the people" and be discriminated against. Scheduled generation except for a few by the ancestor, the father's generation temporary decision, most of the ancestors have long been selected according to the ranking of the word. Nanjing County Shuangfeng Village, "Qiu genealogy" contains: from its twenty-first century, standardized Zhaomu with the word is: "article ***, poetry and etiquette of the family. The creation of the pendant of the obvious, following the description of the hidden Jia. Glory before the light, Shide as a fur. Benevolent relatives and righteous ancestors, the wings of the Yan Yi Yi. Gui Fang Orchid Mau, day by day. Sihuang is blessed with many blessings and blessings. Celebration of good fortune, the genealogy of the family tree will continue. The clan style is revitalized, hundreds of millions of years." (Nanjing Literary and Historical Materials, Issue 2, page 86, "The Historical Origins of the Shuangfeng Qiu Clan", Lin Mingbo) Currently, it has been passed down to the "Chui" and "Hsien" generations, i.e., the thirtieth to the thirty-first generation. This genealogical ranking of generation method, so that the rural areas can often see such a common phenomenon, due to the development of branches of the lineage at different speeds, some of the seventies of the old man, to the three-year-old boy called "uncle" or "uncle". The Yongding custom says: "White-headed brother, sitting on the ground uncle" (i.e., the white-headed old man of the same generation is only called "brother", while the uncles who are still in infancy, even if they are older, should be called "uncle"). In order to differentiate the age order of the same generation, "rank generation" in addition to "rank number". Yongtai County with the Anxiang Zhang genealogy provisions, the clan to add Ding in order of precedence row number, daily address often give up its name and call its number, such as the 20th in the same generation was born, will call "twenty" to replace the name. This custom in the local a ...... >>

Question six: I want to write a family tree, how to write? Well, this brother, you said you want to compile their own family tree of the family name?

jiaz This site has a genealogy of each family name for your reference

Question 7: How to write a genealogy lineage map The lineage map is the main part of the genealogy, also known as the genealogy test, the lineage of the record and so on.

This part of the content for all Chinese genealogy **** there, and thus become a genealogy differentiated from the main history, local history of the most obvious

sign. There are two more common formats: (1) Pagoda charts: this chart form is not known to be created by

people or when, but it appeared at the latest in the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is very

likely that it is also a product of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Now on the basis of the pagoda type genealogy developed many kinds of such as

1, tree lineage genealogy: (typical pagoda type)

2, linear genealogy (parallel genealogy)

I I, II, III, IV, V

(2) ultimatum record genealogy: this genealogy is characterized by the respective generations to the textual description of the deeds of ancestors,

neither use lines, nor use a line, but also the first and second generation of the first and second generations. > Neither lines nor charts are used.

Of course, there are many genealogical charts such as the Longfeng genealogy (its structure is the center is the generation, the left and right sides

respectively, is the ancestor of the mother, the ancestor of the examination, that is, the parents. Therefore, this kind of genealogy is called the dragon and phoenix genealogy),

Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun invented the European style chart and Su style chart and so on, but basically on the basis of the above

two kinds of genealogy charts, the difference is not very big. Commonly used genealogical charts to tree

charts and clues to the most common charts.
