Definition and content structure of x genealogy
Genealogy is a special kind of literature, also known as genealogy, genealogy, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum and so on.
My X family is called genealogy according to the habits of our ancestors.
A complete genealogy is an encyclopedia of family history or family history. Through a genealogy, we can know the historical evolution, lineage reproduction, population change, residence change and marital status of my X family. The position, function and deeds of my family members in political and economic life, such as official positions; My family's economic situation and marriage, funeral, ceremony, family rules, family law and other laws and regulations. Genealogy records these contents in the form of books, pictures, history, tables and notes, and becomes valuable literature and history materials.
Genealogy is mainly written content, supplemented by pictures and materials, not limited to written records. Putting good pictures, pictures, photos, photos, portraits and frontal images into genealogy can better reflect the style and spirit of the times, save a lot of text descriptions, and become a historical atlas that records the reproduction of a family lineage with blood relationship as the main body and the deeds of important people.
According to modern statistics, China's genealogy was preserved until the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, accounting for nearly 90% of the total. Although there are various forms of genealogy, its compilation content is not the same, but its format and important content are roughly the same, and there are rules to follow.
Some are hung in the nave with charts, and some are bound into volumes for family members to read. Historically, official families generally used a bound genealogy. Ordinary people, business gentry and wealthy families are mostly graphic genealogies that nave hangs up for future generations to worship. Both have their own strengths, and my family X adopts the traditional habit of using both. The genealogy of the atlas records the dead and the living, and is treasured by the elders of all branches. The genealogy of the chart only records the people riding cranes for the sacrifice of the descendants of the whole nation.
Nave, also known as the hall width, is a banner with full or slightly less material paper, which is hung separately or side by side between couplets. Its frame is wide and long, mainly hanging in the middle of the hall.
Banners and hand scrolls: Banners are not as wide as nave's straight calligraphy and painting, so they can be rolled. Hand-rolled calligraphy and painting are mounted in paper form. Hand-rolled calligraphy and painting are large and small, you can't hang them, you can only look at them.
Chapter two? Spectral examples and spectral theory
Spectrum examples and catalogs are the starting point for reading spectrum. Genealogy cases, also known as general cases, are used to clarify the principles and styles of genealogy compilation and the reasons for category arrangement in the form of provisions.
Examples of genealogy emphasize the purity of family lineage, maintain the ethical code centered on men, and indicate that they will continue to follow the principle of "spreading letters by faith and spreading doubts by doubt".
"Spectrum Theory" brings together the main points of spectrum theory expounded by sages and famous Confucian scholars, which has important guiding significance for the revision of spectrum and is also a precious material for studying spectrum.
Music is the history of a family. My X family tree is a historical atlas, which systematically records my X lineage and its related situation. The surname X is the blood symbol of our blood ancestors. The basic contents of my X family tree include family tree order, surname origin, clan genealogy chart, word genealogy, clan culture (art, customs, documentary evidence, costumes, customs, taboos), biographical descriptions of celebrities and postscript.
There is a saying in the ancestral training of the X family: It is unfilial for three generations not to repair the score, so it is necessary to repair the score. I hope that my descendants will stick to the inheritance, respect the genealogy, exercise self-discipline for the purpose of respecting ancestors, ancestors and eyes, adhere to ethics and fine traditions, and agree to renew the genealogy once every 15 years without interruption, and record the blood relationship and overall situation of my X family very clearly in plain language. When recording, we should focus on the patrilineal family lineage and figures, briefly record the blood lineage figures and deeds of the same ancestor, and record the lineage inheritance of the descendants of each branch family. Even after the old family has multiplied into many new families and the new families have evolved again, the blood relationship between families should be clearly recorded.
The compilation of genealogy requires extensive collection of information and consultation from ancient history books and modern media to celebrities from all walks of life. This process requires a lot of time, reading all kinds of historical manuscripts and consulting all kinds of dictionaries. These tasks are completed by the revision team.
The person in charge of each branch should let all parents know about the important events of X's music revision, make statistics according to the sample table format required by the music revision, and report them to the music revision leader on time, so as to summarize the original data in time and successfully complete the music revision. It is with the above contents that genealogy preserves the historical origin, migration and heroes of the family and spreads it to future generations.
After the genealogy is finalized, write or print with good quality paper or cloth. The format and sheet size should be moderate, in line with traditional habits, the color will never fade, and it is easy to collect and pass on from generation to generation.
After the genealogy is repaired, each genealogy must be numbered and signed before it is distributed to the people.
In order to find the roots and carry forward the past, the genealogy should be properly kept and must not be lost, making it one of the ties to strengthen the cohesion of my X family.
Due to the interference of cultural revolution and other factors, the revision of the spectrum was postponed, and I apologize to my ancestors.
Chapter three? The origin of X surname and historical celebrities
The origin of x surname
Historical celebrities and allusions of X surname
The pronunciation, writing and interpretation of X surname
The Pronunciation Evolution of "X" and Its Cause Analysis
The origin of X surname and historical celebrities
Chapter four? Family rules and instructions
Family rules and family instructions are clan laws and regulations jointly formulated by clan family members to restrain and educate people, and are one of the important components of genealogy. There are various names, such as family rules, family contracts, family education, family law, family ceremony, family law, family code, family law, clan contract, temple fair contract, rules and regulations, etc.
Ancestors said: Fiona Fang can't live without rules, without certain clan rules, family laws and good parenting policies. We should use certain codes of conduct to restrain ethnic groups and their families, enlighten future generations, safeguard the unity and harmony of ethnic groups and families, and abide by social morality and legal order. Therefore, family precepts and clan rules are one of the important contents of each revision.
1. In this revision, members of the X family are still adhering to the teachings of their ancestors and continue to vigorously advocate: respecting ancestors, prospering ethnic groups, being honest and confident, and advancing with the times.
2. In this revision, my X family members still abide by the ancestral teachings: in order to ensure the healthy reproduction of my X family, it is strictly forbidden for men and women to marry within the immediate family members of the V family. (There is a genealogy to check. This strict clan rule has a history of XX years and has not changed since then. )
My X family's adult wedding should adhere to the wedding customs and norms of the Han nationality. Partners of ethnic minorities are not subject to this restriction.
The children born in my X family's father's family take their father's surname. If you take your mother's surname, stepfather's surname or change your own surname, it will be unpopular, that is to say, you will be considered as divorced from your family, and your family tree will no longer be recorded.
5. Adhere to the glorious tradition of getting rich through hard work, be careful and frugal. It's hard to think of a porridge and a meal.
6. Set an example, conform to the ethical code, be loyal and filial, support the elderly, respect the elders, teach children to be useful, be diligent and enterprising, be courteous, and serve the country faithfully.
7. Respect the laws of the country, be humble and honest, be charitable, be good-neighborly, and be happy at home.
8. With the development of history, clan rules should also keep pace with the times. This revision has changed the customary practice that daughters cannot inherit, and only sons inherit their parents' inheritance. At present, according to the Inheritance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the principle of equality between men and women, children have the right to inherit their parents' property as long as they have fulfilled their maintenance obligations, or solve the inheritance problem through friendly negotiation under the mediation of their elders Lu and others.
9. Inheritance of stepchildren's property: According to the inheritance law, stepchildren have the right to inherit the inheritance of stepparents, and others cannot and have no right to deprive and interfere.
10. About the cemetery: My family X still follows the ancestral customs. After a hundred years, the elders of all branches can freely choose the land of geomantic omen to rest in peace, and their closest relatives will attend the ceremony. Tombstones and epitaphs were written by the children of the direct line, and they were set up at their own expense to show their ambition. The epitaph introduces the life story of the tomb owner. General genealogy does not record the location of the cemetery of the deceased, but the ancestors or branches themselves record the place names, locations, boundaries, tomb site maps, etc.
1 1. The ancestral hall records the history of the clan and family ancestral temple, introduces the building scale and geographical location of the ancestral hall, including the inscriptions, poems, couplets, plaques and pictures of the ancestral hall, the names of the people who donated money to build the ancestral hall, and records the times, distribution, attachment and sacrifices of the gods in the ancestral hall. Ancestral temples belong to clan property, and the clan has the responsibility of maintenance and management.
It is said that the X ancestral temple was destroyed because of the war in history and has not been built so far. The place of ancestor worship is in the ancestral hall.
Chapter five? Family genealogy charts and tables
This is the main part of the family tree. As the most important content in genealogy, it exists in all China genealogies, and it is also the most obvious sign that genealogy is different from official history and local chronicles.
Pedigree diagram can reflect the overall situation of migration, development, inheritance and change of a branch. This part is very important for clans with complex branches and different surnames. Whether using Su Xun's and Ouyang Xiu's drawings, pagoda drawings, silk hanging drawings and genealogy drawings, in short, the genealogy table is an easy-to-understand chart, which clearly and truly records the names of ancestors and descendants of each family member in a clear order. That is, someone's lineage belongs to generations, father and son, and brotherhood.
Chapter six? Pedigree ranking poems (word generation spectrum)
Also known as world order, ranking, poetry, language, quotations, ranking, etc. , specializing in the text of family members' names.
Thanks to the abundance of heaven and earth, I, the X family, have multiplied from generation to generation, heart to heart, root to root, deep-rooted, talented people, sharing weal and woe. Up to now, the X family has multiplied to XX generation, X generation is X generation, X generation is X generation, and so on. I hope my descendants will inherit the ancestral teachings and the next generation of typesetting.
The above-mentioned generational ranking poems published the ranking words of my X family. Although the poetry of generations occupies a small space in the genealogy, it is very important. It is the basis for naming male members of our family, and it can directly reflect the vertical address and precedence relationship between members of different generations in the family, as well as the horizontal address relationship between members of the same generation according to age.
I am very particular about the writing of X's ranking poems:
1. In order to calculate the generation, the first group of poems used five four-character poems, and the words ***xx respectively represented the XX generation. The second group of poems uses four five-character poems, and the word ***xx represents XX generation respectively. Then, the third group of poems should be written in four words and five sentences, and so on.
2. When writing a poem, you should choose auspicious words to make a poem. Every word and sentence should be considered comprehensively and strive for perfection. It is catchy and easy to remember when viewed horizontally as a poem and vertically as a sentence.
The names of male members of my X family are generally three words (except birth name), that is, X+name. One of the names must be a ranking word indicating their qualifications, unless the surname must come first. As for the typesetting order of names, it was decided by the contemporary patriarch and branch representatives after consultation, and it is also known to all.
Chapter seven? Pedigree diagram of x family tree
The genealogical chart of my X family tree is a hanging silk chart, which means that my descendants have deep roots and weeping willows.
The genealogy chart is based on the fifth generation, and the next five generations are different. Ancestors are ancestors or ancestors, accounting for one line. This order is clearly stated and can be tested.
The following is a genealogical chart of my X family tree:

(As an essential genealogy table, it will list names, shop names, years of birth and death, rank, marriage, children, etc. in the order of family generations and generations. )
I am a descendant of X. According to incomplete statistics, X major generals, X department-level cadres, X county-level cadres and several department-level cadres have emerged since the founding of the People's Republic of China. ......

Chapter eight? Wufu map
The service map is also called the service map. The so-called "five clothes" refers to the five colors of clothes in the ancient funeral system, namely, cutting down, Cui Zi, making meritorious service, making meritorious service and removing hemp.
Mourning is a kind of clothing worn according to the close relationship between the living and the dead. Because Wufu itself shows the close relationship between the living and the dead, but also shows the close relationship between the living and the living related to the dead, it not only participates in the execution of funeral, but also participates in the execution of clan and family affairs and the law, so genealogy generally contains Wufu.
Chapter 9? biography
Biographies in genealogy are also called lines, lines, events, events and aspirations. Their genres include biographies, lines, longevity articles, congratulations, epitaphs, eulogies and materials copied from historical biographies, which mainly record the deeds and biographical materials of "loyal ministers and dutiful sons" and "virtuous women and husbands" among family members.
Generally, genealogy has the praises and biographies of ancestors. The prominent people in ancestors are painted as portraits and put on the genealogy, with praises attached.
When writing genealogy, we should focus on writing biographies of celebrities to honor the family, and do biographies and deeds for famous and meritorious people in our family. For those who enter the spectrum, we should use the historical conclusions truthfully, but don't make arbitrary comments. Biography should record achievements, writings, achievements, coronation, praise, imperial edict, imperial edict, confession, eulogy and so on. It mainly records the gifts, speeches, inscriptions, poems, couplets, praise words, awards and commendations, important honorary titles, official ranks and professional titles given by governments and officials at or above the county level to family members. Let future generations understand its contribution to the country, nation, society, place and family. Contributions to the family include investing in the construction of ancestral temples and graves, revising music, and building roads and bridges. ) reflects the status and identity of this family.

Biography is a biography that records the meritorious figures in the family; Introversion is a biography of virtuous women in the family; Biography is a biography of married and virtuous women in the family.
Celebrity biographies of the X family should include female biographies and female biographies.

Other family members are compiled in the order of each person listed in the genealogy chart. Introduce everyone's name, taboo, travel times, times, official position, title, year of death, year of death, posthumous title, marriage, etc. These introductory words should be concise. The words of the elderly should be more than 50 words, and the short words should be two or three words. They are actually biographies of people. This part occupies a large part of the family tree.
Biography should be true, with direct narration as the main part, concise text, and praise and criticism can be taken from authoritative evaluation and indicate the source or material evidence.

Clan culture. Including people's works and awards; Traces left by ancestors; Naming order, family rules, family instructions, etc. Used by ancestors. Give new content to China's traditional virtues.
● Lead music, edit music and donate money. It is a major event that people care about, and it is also a good thing to accumulate good deeds. It is also people's recognition of repairing music and their responsibility to future generations. We must respect it and donate money to people. When composing music, we should select venerable elders as the leader, organize elders from various sects to participate, and appoint one or two writers. After the first draft is completed, we will discuss and negotiate together, put forward suggestions and suggestions for revision, finalize it, print it or write it, and distribute it to all branches for safekeeping.

● Feng Shui map (ancestral temple map, tomb map) Ancestral temple is a place to worship ancestors, and it was also a place for family gatherings in ancient times. Therefore, the general genealogy records and publishes the layout of buildings, depicts the actual situation, and some are also equipped with tomb maps and geographical directions. Because ancestors believed in Feng Shui, and thought that the rise and fall of a family had a great relationship with the houses where ancestors lived, it was also called "Feng Shui Map".
