The preface of Mahalanobis Genealogy is as follows

Happy international day, political harmony and prosperity. After long-term investigation and verification, under the leadership of the 17th Sun, my generation rebuilt my Ma family tree through clan agreement. State-owned history, ambition and pedigree are common sense in the world. Looking for the source, I, a group of six people from the twentieth generation, went to Qingzhou, visited carefully and observed on the spot. Ma's hometown is Majiadatun, Hongtong County, Shanxi Province.

My surname is Ma, and I am a descendant of Boyi (the leader of Dongyi tribe in Shun Dynasty) who helped Yu control water. Yu gave way to Yi, who took refuge in the north of Lushan Mountain. In the second year of summer, I waited for Boyi to go abroad, and in the sixth year of Boyi. Originally in the Warring States Period (298 BC), Emperor Zhao Huiwen named his son Zhao She Ma Fujun, and later his descendants took the name of Ma, from which my horse originated (note on page 14 of Hundred Family Names). My ancestor Ma Yuan, Wen Yuan, was born in 14 BC and died in 49 AD at the age of 63. Feng Fubo (17), a Guangwu general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ma Chao, the seventh generation of Dingxi general of Sun Sanguo, lived in Maoling, Fufeng County (now Xingping County, Shaanxi Province) and was born in 176. With his father Ma Teng, he fought in the south and north (known as the hero of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao) to assist Liu Bei. Later, he was named the Five Tigers General Army, and his descendants moved to Ximajiatun, Hongtong County, Shanxi Province in the Song Dynasty.

My ancestors, Duke De and Duke Xing Fei, were the grandchildren of Ma Yuan and the ancestors of 52 generations. 1373 (in the sixth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty), Er Gong moved from Shanxi to Qingzhou on the orders of the relocated people. Emperor Hongwu listened to the suggestions of ministers and formulated policies to enrich the people. People migrated, reclaimed land, filled castles, guaranteed border crossings and guaranteed Jin, and 18 times moved eastward, distributed in 18 provinces and cities and more than 500 counties and cities. My second husband was the only one in the first batch of 60 households, and only my Ma family moved to Yunmen Mountain North, Qingzhou, Shandong. The name of the village is Majiazhuang. The ancestors of Degong and Xing Fei are a big family, and they live in harmony. Degong is also good at medical skills, broad medical ethics, good at doing his best and diagnosing wealth, so he is known as Sai Huatuo. Take the Zhou family's family members and their three sons, Yu, who was born in * * *, for example. Puhe is getting bigger and bigger. Fei Xingzu is famous in academic circles and has a brilliant mind, so he didn't promote himself to the important position of magistrate. It turns out that Zhang gave birth to four sons. Shen Bao lives in Kaizhou (Puyang), Zhi Bao lives in Juancheng (Heze) and Xuzhou (Peixian). During his tenure, Mrs. Nadu (the old man's daughter) gave birth to five children. Fu Bao lives in Qingzhou (Yidu), Lubao lives in Laizhou, Zhenbao lives in Penglai County, the box lives in Yanzhou, and Rongbao lives in Jining (known as a horse stepping on Kyushu). In Hongwu 13, Fei Xingzu went to the border of Lu Yu to inspect the plague and observe the people's feelings. After several years of exhibition, I gave birth to a son named Ji, who lives in Anlingji.

During my stay in Qingzhou, my grandmother Zhang took her four sons to the west and reached the boundary of Kaizhou. When she met the generals Da, Hu Dahai and Liu, she led 250,000 troops, wiped out the iron fungus (known as the legend of killing Da Zi and looking south at Beidou), and the road to the west was blocked, so she settled in Maliji, 90 miles southeast of Kaizhou, where her grandmother Zhang was buried.

My three nobles moved to Wulimazhuang, northwest of Baihuji, Cao Zhou in 15 (1382). He was buried here with Mrs. Jiao after his death. Born with eight sons, the fifth son was handsome and kept his ancestral business, and the third son moved to Majie, Juye County in the sixth year of Yongle (1408). The fourth son, Li Jun, moved to Nanbaima Temple in Jiaxiang County on Yongle1416, the second son, Shilong, the sixth son, Zhong Yan and the seventh son, Yanliang, moved to Machangzhai in the second year of Yongle, and the eldest son, Jean, and the eighth son, Yanqing, moved to Ma Village in the second year of Yongle.

In the twenty-five years of Hongwu, his father Degong and Fei Xingzu died one after another. My brother was buried in Aihuaishu Village, and my brother was buried in Yangpo, Yunmen Mountain. The bamboo tomb is surrounded by Zhou Songbai, with strange mountains and rocks, and the peaks are like dragons, one after another, covered by auspicious clouds, and the purple gas rises, which is a good place for ancestors to sleep.

The following year, Yuzu three brothers thought of revisiting their old place and came to the east side of Jinshanbao, 35 miles southeast of Juye. When they saw its beautiful scenery, pines and cypresses, fragrant clouds and fertile soil, Anzhuang hired it. This village was named Ma Fenglong Village, and in the following years, it was named Ma Village.

In order to pay tribute to the ancestors, remember the merits of ancestors, and express the admiration of future generations, the hearts of all descendants of the Ma genealogy have mushroomed, and they cannot be independent because of chasing the ancestors. At the suggestion of the patriarch Simon Ma, all tribes are negotiating. It is scheduled for the ninth day of the first month in the spring of Rennian, and it will be fixed in Mazhuang, Su Sha Temple. On the 20th, in the courtyard of Juye West Gate, the 21st generation Sun Mafan concentrated on personnel expenses such as genealogy repair and moving ancestral graves, and decided to hold a genealogy repair swearing-in meeting in Mashan Village on the 30th. The meeting was presided over by Ma Yanqi, the 22nd generation villager of Sunmashan Village. More than a dozen representatives took the stage to speak one after another, offering suggestions and suggestions for the genealogy. Sun Zengduo, the composer, clearly defined Puzhuang Village, paid homage to the ancestral tomb with Zhao, named Pukedi, erected a monument to worship the ancestors, and recorded its origin. Everyone donated money, one after another, with unprecedented pomp, uproar and unprecedented enthusiasm. According to Zu Zheng's proposal, the board of directors approved to determine the future revision time, 20-year overhaul and 10 minor repair.

★ The preface of genealogy is different. This preface is taken from Genealogy Preface of Ma Family in Jining and Heze. Other tangkou and branches have nothing to do with this order. Members surnamed Ma who wish to modify the entry should not modify it at will. There may be some words in the preface that are slightly different from those used now, so I can only copy them for the most authentic record. ★
