Ancestor Worship Assembly
Genealogy was born with the birth of Chinese culture, extremely ancient. As we all know, China is an ancient country of world culture, and in the inheritance of culture from generation to generation, family culture is naturally also an important one. Many people trace the origin of genealogy, and the investigation of various sources is also controversial. Instead of examining many family historical materials from the genealogy of the ancient times, it is better to understand why the family tree flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and why the family tree was "mature in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty." In fact, looking at history is based on evidence.
Old genealogy
In the pre-Qin period, there were general genealogical books such as "Zhou Guan" and "Shi Ben" circulated in society; after the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were "Imperial Annals" and "The Theory of Hidden Husbands". Zhi surname", "Customs Tong. Surnames" and other genealogical works. By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the door valve system was prevalent, and the family tree became the main basis for inter-clan marriage and eunuchs, so it developed rapidly. After the five generations of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the style of genealogy cultivation was more popular from the official to the folk, and even spread throughout the families, and there were families with genealogies, households with families, and repairing again and again, endlessly. In the evolution of history, genealogical culture has also become more and more standardized with the passage of time, mature in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, there is a family tree "mature in the Ming, prosperous in the Qing." "The statement is gone.
Genealogical cultural inheritance
In Chinese history, the most recent peak period of genealogy revision was between 1840 and 1949. Although the land of Shenzhou has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, the cultivation affairs of various folk families have never been broken. People of insight in various families realized that the world was in chaos at that time, and the trend of clan relocation and separation was inevitable, in order to keep some family clues for their own clans and descendants in such a big environment, they gathered family members to repair the family tree. Therefore, the vast majority of the old spectrum that we can see today was formed in this period. However, due to the fact that all the family trees repaired at that time were paper, it was not easy to preserve, coupled with many historical factors, there was a lot of destruction.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the wanderer returns to his hometown for the New Year, always not forgetting to look at the family tree, the academic training, the ancestral grave, and the worship of the ancestors. Looking for roots and asking for ancestors has gradually become fashionable. However, for more than half a century, the fate of Chinese genealogy has been ups and downs, and the family tree collection has also been cold and hot. Now the popularity of Internet genealogy is to promote the process of family tree digitization, so that family trees become a family once and for all. Therefore, every time the score is revised, it has become a major event between the same surname and the same people.
