How much do you know about Chinese genealogy and generational knowledge? What is the purpose of distinguishing between the inferior and the inferior, the order of the elder and the young
Chinese, the most exquisite thing is to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, the order of the generations is also very exquisite, many people in the family ancestors have maintained the habit of genealogy, also known as family, genealogy, public genealogy, ancestral genealogy, family, clan. When it comes to genealogy, as the name suggests, the description is: mainly describes the records of some personnel changes and important events in the surname family from ancient times to the present, and the meaning of its expression is that it has been flowing for hundreds of generations, and people are prosperous...
Then with the family tree, there is also a division of generations, then, how to divide this generation, how to divide, are all exquisite.
Chinese characters are generally based on the middle word (three characters as an example), commonly known as the pie, which is the ranking word that records the people. The name of the character originated from the Tang and Song dynasties, was created in the Ming Dynasty, flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and the ranking of the family has a certain meaning. General families must write a family tree to determine the delineation of generations, so as to achieve the purpose of "distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, and the order of the elder and the young". The division of generations is the main symbol of family status, which can understand the distinction between the elder and the young, the inferior and the inferior, and conform to the principle of clan organization of the lunchang order.
The characters of each surname are determined by ancestors and passed down from generation to generation, and each surname may not be very different. The expression of the characters is quite rich, of which the most common are poetry-like and couplets. For example, the characters of marshal He Long's family, the He clan is "Great Court Good Soil, Literature Xingbang, Guangzong Yaozu, Generation Yongchang" Sixteen Characters Row Generation. For example, the Ding clan of Rizhao, Shandong, when they were in the 26th year of the Qing Dynasty (1900), when they were in the liuxiu Ding clan family, from the thirteenth generation onwards, they set the characters as: "But my family genealogy, detailed resume, original haizhou, Zhaoshi Wuchang, early Ming Dynasty, Xiangzhai Hebei, Tianqi Kaike, Chongzhen served, xiangxian eunuch, deyan deeds, prominent Lingxu, breeding and prosperity, Yu Wishing for the same heart, filial piety and harmony, long generations, Pi Chengzuze" This set of characters narrates the origin, migration, and migration of the Rizhao Ding clan in the form of four words. Development and blessings and expectations for future generations.
The selection of characters must also be selected according to the family's genealogy, otherwise it will mess up the provisions in the family tree, and the name genealogy passed down from the family tree must be followed. If your name does not contain a "character" left in the family's genealogy, the family can only think that you are a member of the foreign family with the same surname.
Next, let's take a look at what the generations of the ancients were divided into:

Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, set a total of fourteen characters for his descendants, together with his own Kuang characters, forming a couplet "Kuang De Wei From the World Lingzi, Bo Shixi and Meng Youyi". This is the earliest official word that people have seen.
