I. Introduction
The preface is similar to the preface of this book now, which can be written by people with high expectations in the family or by outsiders. This genealogy is mainly seen through the eyes of another person or others. Usually, the new order comes first, and the old order should be included and placed after the new order.
II. Introduction
Even for their own families, not many people can fully understand, so
We need to introduce our family first, which can be mentioned as follows: the general rules of engraving genealogy, the participants in the creation (revision) of this genealogy, the time, and why it should be revised; What is the basis of this coding? The general situation, history, migration history, current distribution and number of families; The clan and word generation of the family, that is, the naming rules of each generation are recorded; Location of ancestral graves and distribution map of each generation in ancestral graves; Ancestor investigation and textual research.
In short, there is no specific person here, just a description of the whole family.
Third, numbers.
In fact, the genealogy itself is a person's record, but usually, one or more outstanding typical figures or groups will be recorded in the genealogy. When recording these outstanding figures, there are often various formats, including the biography of this person, the manuscript of his articles, the fame he won, the official name, pictures, portraits, inscriptions and so on. It should be noted here that historical celebrities with the same surname must not be forcibly incorporated into this genealogy, even if it is a small hint. Because when future generations continue the spectrum, they often pass it on because they believe it is true this time.
Fourth, the lineage table.
Bloodline is the most important item in the family tree. The simplest genealogy sometimes has only one genealogical table.
The pedigree table records the relationship of everyone in the family. In computer terms, this one-to-many structure is a "tree" structure, but it is often more complicated in practice. When a family is big and there are many people. Heirs will come in (through adoption, adoption, giving away) and move in and out.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) world outline list
Usually, only the genealogy table is meaningless. In the face of some names that are not celebrities, what else can you know except these words? A good way is to add an outline list, which is a table to record the resumes of all ethnic groups in the lineage list. This part can be merged with the lineage table or listed separately. I think it's better to list them separately, because the combination of the two will often lead to a heavy genealogy table, which is very troublesome to find members.
In many genealogies, only the names of fathers, the number of wives, the number of children and the number of names are written like this. Although it looks quite standard on the whole, it is actually of little significance, because the genealogy table itself can express this information. I don't think everyone can have a complete resume, but at least it should include: death date, main position, professional title, main place of life and work, my work resume, main achievements, wife's name, wife's wedding place, wife's father's name, wife's resume, children's name, daughter's wedding place and married name. In this way, we can find not only the wife's genealogy, but also the daughter's family in this family.
Six, postscript
Just write some thoughts in the postscript.
Extended data:
The clan system began to take shape:
It takes respecting ancestors, worshiping clans and harmony as its purpose, and formulates clan rules and family laws to restrain clans according to the ethical principles of Neo-Confucianism. "Respect ancestors" should talk about genealogy, "respect ancestors" should build ancestral halls, and "Mu" should help its people. Family activities naturally increase when we build temples, set up villages for learning righteousness, cultivate fields for righteousness and manage ancestral property. The content of genealogy has gradually changed from recording a single blood lineage to recording the overall situation of the family, with more and more contents and more space. However, compared with the genealogy of Qing Dynasty, the content of genealogy of Ming Dynasty is relatively simple. Generally, there are only genealogy, postscript and genealogy chart (table). After the history entered the Qing Dynasty, the number of genealogy compilation increased sharply and the content increased continuously. As far as the overall situation is concerned, it generally includes the following aspects:
Music order. Genealogy is an indispensable part of every genealogy, including the preface written by the whole family or ethnic minorities, the gift preface written by celebrities at that time, and the postscript. The preface and postscript mainly introduce the origin, inheritance, reasons and process of genealogy revision, and responsible personnel. It is a direct entry point for understanding and studying genealogy, and it is also an important material for understanding the origin of family lineage.
Two spectral examples, spectral theory and catalogue. Genealogy cases, also known as ordinary cases, mainly clarify the principles and styles of genealogy compilation and the reasons for the arrangement of categories in the form of articles. The example of genealogy emphasizes the purity of family blood, maintains the ethical code centered on men, and shows that the principle of compiling genealogy is followed. Spectral theory is generally an excerpt from the previous generation.
Confucian scholars' important quotations on genealogy also directly put the emperor's list of Yu people and Yu people's letters in front of genealogy to warn the people. The catalogue, also known as the general catalogue, explains the number of volumes of the spectrum and the main contents of each volume. Spectrum examples and catalogs are introductory guides to reading spectrum, and you can only explore seclusion at the edge.
Three Enron records. Also known as honor record, praise, praise, giving orders, confession and so on. It mainly publishes letters of praise given to family members by emperors and government officials at central and local levels, including letters, imperial edicts, imperial edicts, inscriptions, tributes and plaques.
Four records. Generally, genealogy has the praise and biography of ancestors, and the prominent people in ancestors are painted as portraits and put on the genealogy, with praise and praise attached. Most genealogies include not only the praise of ancestors, but also biographies, which record the deeds of famous or virtuous people, including virtuous women and martyrs' daughters, with chronology, life order, epitaph, eulogy, description and inscription.
Five family rules and family precepts. This is what every family tree must contain. It is impossible to respect and collect clans without certain clan rules and family laws. The contents of family rules and family instructions are very complicated. Apart from the traditional patriarchal clan system, there are also contents such as property inheritance, marriage disputes, prohibition of theft and gambling, and closing off mountains and forests.
Six-code system. Including crowns, gifts, weddings, sacrificial ceremonies, etc. Some of them are unified through rituals, including rituals, funeral patterns, utensils and sacrifices. Other genealogies also incorporate ancestral temple rules, ancestral temple property, voluntary study, worship of fields and other management regulations and deeds into the canon system.
7. Maps and epitaphs of ancient tombs. The epitaph is painted with the place name, location and the junction of the four places; The epitaph introduces the life of the tomb owner and the construction of the tomb. Hunan genealogy pays special attention to tomb maps, and many genealogies are listed as single volumes, and some even have several or more volumes.
Eight schools of languages. Also known as poetry, poetry and so on. There is no unified name, and people are ranked according to generations, and some are divided into 80 generations or 100 generations. Collocation plays a small role in the spectrum, but it is extremely important. It is the basis of naming male members of the family, and directly reflects the vertical and sequential relations between members of different generations in the family, as well as the horizontal and parallel cooperative relations between members of the same generation.
9. Names of donations and subscriptions. It is common for ordinary people to repair music, and everyone should donate money. This is the recognition and responsibility of ordinary people for repairing music. The name of the genealogy is the registration record sent to each room and faction after the genealogy is revised. Genealogy is distributed according to the number of rooms and factions, and cannot be distributed on its own initiative. Some are numbered according to the "thousand-character script", some according to the eight diagrams, some according to the zodiac, some according to the arrangement purpose, and so on.
Ten generations of pictures. There are many genealogies in Hunan called hanging silk maps. As the name implies, the descendants of Yu lineage are endless, like weeping willows. The picture is actually a table, mostly in European style. The fifth picture is a picture, and the last five are new. Calling ancestors the first or the first ancestor, this order is clear and can be tested. Some spectra are outside the century and within the century. In the outer century, it was from the ancestors who accepted the surname to the ancestors who respected the spectrum (or moved ancestors), while in the inner century, ancestors (or moved ancestors) were regarded as ancestors or ancestral schools.
(1 1) lineage table. Records of many famous dentists in Hunan. According to the family generation and generational order, each has its name, font size, year of birth and death, job title, marriage and children.
The contents of genealogy in the Qing Dynasty and after the Qing Dynasty are generally as mentioned above, but they are not the same, and there is no unified requirement for category setting, just mutual reference. Therefore, the contents of different genealogies have increased and decreased, with some points and combinations, but genealogical charts and tables are essential, otherwise it is not a "spectrum".
