How do ordinary people repair their family tree? How to repair a family tree What is the format

It can be said that 99% of the so-called ancestors in the order of the genealogy were pieced together by the genealogists of the Ming and Qing dynasties for profit. In order to truly clarify the ancestors, we must use genetic genealogy, also known as genetic genealogy, genetic genealogy, which is to study the reliability of genealogy, genealogy and genealogy through genetics, and through the analysis of human DNA sequences, Y chromosomes, and mitochondrial DNA, to infer the DNA type of ancestors, establish the relationship between individuals and the genetic distance between different families, which can be used to trace the paternal and maternal ancestors, ethnic origins, migration routes and ages.

If you want to repair the family tree, you must first repair the ancestral hall. First of all, you have to find an old genealogy book of your family and check whose descendants you are? Then collectively donate money to repair the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall can be repaired with a little less money, and more money can be used to repair the pedigree book.

This is how our family's ancestral hall was built. Triple courtyard, 15 houses, covering an area of 2500 square meters. The main house is used to worship ancestors; The five rooms in the east wing take three rooms to make the stove house, which will be used for the Qingming meeting, and the remaining two rooms will be placed with tables, chairs and benches; Four of the five rooms in the east wing were used to put tables, chairs, benches and various miscellaneous items, leaving one room for a toilet and bedroom.

The house is built of bricks and tiles, the walls are single brick, clear water walls, glazed tiles. After the ancestral hall was repaired, we worshiped our ancestors and had a meal together on the Qingming Festival every year. Enhance the cohesion of the clansmen.

Then let people register in the ancestral hall, and every household can't get rid of it. Write a new score book with reference to the old score, and then print it.

In 2016, the Lantern Festival I officially began to repair my own family tree, which took two years, staying up late almost every day, running around, checking the information, and the old people in one place, chatting with them, for fear of missing a clue, carrying a pen and a book, recording at any time. Finally complete the family tree and celebrate with the family. Looking at the family tree now, I really don't know how I wrote it at that time.

Infinite emotion!

I remember that the elders of the family said that the family tree should be repaired once every 30 years, first contact the clansmen to send the list of new genealogy people, and then ask a composer to engrave and print the score, and then sacrifice to the ancestors, and set up a banquet to celebrate the whole family.

A minor repair in 30 years, a major repair in 60 years. If you can't break it, if you want to continue it again, you won't find a lot of information.

The first is to organize according to arrangement. The second is the preparation of funds. The third is the source of ethnic groups.

I can take over the work of family history.

My surname is Zhang, and I don't know how to continue the family tree.

In general, the funds raised by each family member with a surname, some of which have a large number of family members, are based on men, and the average financial cost of compiling and perfecting the family tree per person generally ranges from 100,300 yuan.

The vast majority of family names are grouped according to the number of men who currently exist, regardless of the elderly and children, even if the newborn child is the same as the elderly who are still alive, showing the fairness of the family members and treating them equally.

Some families with surnames show the current social customs, equality between men and women, and eliminate the idea of preference for sons over daughters, as long as the family members include the daughter-in-law who marries, they must collect the economic expenses equally, but the girls who marry do not charge economic expenses. In this way, it is very reasonable to make the fashion of the entire surname family in line with the current society.

The significance of repairing genealogy

The construction of local chronicles, genealogies and other historical records is a true record of Chinese culture and history, a part of traditional history and culture, with great historical significance, and is a very good cause for thousands of years. Therefore, all localities are taking this matter very seriously.

Genealogy is a record of the true objective situation of the prosperity and reproduction of a surname family, and is a kind of historical record of the family, which provides true, objective and meaningful evidence for future generations to study history and culture. Therefore, we attach great importance to each family, and through the joint efforts of family members, we will contribute people and funds to make this matter incisive, perfect, and fulfill the wishes of family members.

The cost is not very large, 1, about 10,000 or 20,000. If there are many people with surnames and more sets printed, there may be more. If the person with the surname organizes the pedigree and does not receive a salary, it is the obligation of the descendants of the surname to set up a biography for the ancestors.

2. Generally, it is the fund-raising of the same surname in the whole village to complete, and there are also business people who have more money to do good deeds and voluntarily contribute to the sorting and printing, and each branch retains a set.

3. Generally, the very early ancestors and branch veins are sorted into the spectrum, printed on rice paper, and the retention time is longer.

A few years ago, we published a set of 12 volumes here, each set of 600 yuan, just the cost of work. Plus typesetting, correction, etc., and more. Professional publishing house in Jinan.

If it's just the cost of printing, it's very limited, dozens of dollars, even if you use thread to pack rice paper, it's not much, mainly because the price of the content part is not easy to estimate. Because the descendants of the big surname are scattered all over the place, if you want to find your roots and return to your ancestors, you have to have a group of people who basically leave their jobs to do it, and they can't calculate it clearly.

There are four basic narrative formats for genealogy: Soviet, European, Spiral, and Pagoda.

1. Soviet-style genealogy format.

The Su family tree format, also commonly known as the vertical bead style, was founded by the Northern Song Dynasty writer Su Xun. The characteristics of the Soviet-style lineage table are: the generations are straight and sagging, there is no horizontal line connection between the generations, all are connected by vertical lines, and the diagram is also arranged from right to left, mainly emphasizing the patriarchal relationship.

2. European genealogy format.

The European-style genealogical format, also known as the horizontal style, was founded by the Northern Song Dynasty writer Ouyang Xiu. The characteristics of the European style are: generation division, horizontal from right to left, five generations and one table, which is very convenient to use.

In the European style, there is a biographical description on the left side of the name of each generation, introducing the person's character, number, fame, official title, date of birth, spouse, burial place, merits, etc.

3. Genealogical format.

The genealogical format does not connect the relationships between the names of generations with horizontal and vertical lines, but rather expresses them purely in words. Each person has a relevant profile under his name, such as: character, number, meritorious name, official envy, date of birth, burial place, merits, etc.

The form of the lineage is fixed, the order is clear, and the paper is more economical.

4. Pagoda-style genealogy format.

As the name suggests, the pagoda genealogy format is to arrange the names of generations like pagodas, from top to bottom. The pagoda type adopts the horizontal and vertical line connection method, and the vertical line is always in the middle of the horizontal line, which is for a large family with many people, because the name of the person cannot be arranged on the same page, the unclear relationship between the brothers will bring a lot of inconvenience to writing and reading the score.

If you want to repair the genealogy, you should first know and learn the knowledge of making a family tree, which is the key, for the compilation of the family tree of the collapsed spine repair work is a very complicated work, which needs to be rigorous and serious, in addition to the need to know the knowledge and skills of the compilation of the family tree, it is best to have relevant practical experience, in addition to the family tree should be done as much as possible before the collection and sorting of the family tree letter group infiltration, so as to visit every clan member and elder in the family as much as possible, It is very important to gather relevant family information before the early revision of the score.

And then it is the main body of the pedigree work, and the development of the pedigree work is not Yu Tang alone, in fact, it should be said that it is the collaboration of a pedigree team to revise the pedigree, at this time we will also apply all kinds of genealogical revision methods, such as the genealogy king is a ** editing method that can be edited on the genealogy without installation, and the presiding officer of the compilation of the pedigree should also do a good job of coordinating and managing the work, and scientifically distribute the pedigree repair work to all the clansmen involved in the pedigree. Therefore, it can be a good choice to have relevant tools for collaboration and revision.

When you carefully look through the family tree, you can find that the content of the family tree is some positive things, and the things that violate the law and discipline in the family and the moral bottom line will not be recorded in the family tree under normal circumstances, which is also related to the "educational principle" contained in the family tree.

They will not be included in the family tree, they are: forsaken ancestors. Those who are not filial and do not respect their ancestors are regarded as abandoning their ancestors; Traitorous party.

For example, in the genealogy of the Yuan Dynasty, there may be a problem of having a different surname with the mother and wife, and the result and form of this merger is the general spectrum, and the "Tong" is prone to chasing the ancestors.
