As an enlightenment song for children, "Family Call Song" has always been highly popular. In the previous → article ←, the A people also talked about the exquisite titles of relatives in the family.
So when friends are looking for roots and genealogy, when they encounter relatives of all generations and ages, what kind of names should they use?
The title of the clan is not better than everyday, or more accurate
In modern society, most of the time there is really no need to be so rigorous and rigid.
For example, we often say that "brothers from all over the world", whether you know or not, "brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, uncles and grandmothers" is basically covered in an all-round way.
However, when it comes to surnames, I have only heard the saying that "a certain family is a family in the world", but I rarely hear the statement that "the X family is a brother in the world".
Because within the family name, under the genealogical records, the titles of the eldest and youngest should be strictly followed by the generations.
Generally speaking, common ways to call names are these
1. Juniors are called elders
When encountering the age of the clan relatives, they are called elders, and there are direct titles of the titles within the clan, and those who do not have the direct titles are called their names + clan relatives.
To be more specific:
The older generation is called its generation + name + uncle;
The elder two generations are all generations + name + grandfather,
Those who do not like to call people can also directly shout "clan relatives" and "clan chiefs".
2. Elders are called juniors
When encountering relatives who are younger than themselves, there is a title that can be called "name + title", and no one can call it by name.
3. Peers
When you meet a relative of similar age, you can call them the same as your brothers and sisters.
4. Special circumstances
It is mainly age and generation matching, which is different from common situations.
For example, before everyone should have brushed a lot of news, such as more than 30 men to 6-year-old children kowtow to the New Year; some netizens said that according to the generational calculation, their five grandfathers are still born for three days; and there are little girls in their twenties who have a little uncle with a different age;
The reasons for this phenomenon may vary.
Some are used in the circulation of words, and the relocation is confused;
Some are branches of large houses, two bedrooms and three rooms, and the speed of passing from generation to generation is fast and slow, and the time is long, and naturally it is worse than the elders.
But in general, this situation still has to be called by generation.
In ancient times, the elders would have a lot of etiquette requirements for the scenes of the younger generation sitting, walking, getting up early, and eating. Now society does not need to be too strict, but in terms of titles and major occasions of clan sacrifice, it is still necessary to be more systematic according to tradition.
What is the traditional upper and lower nine generations?
-Part of the family title-
"Nine generations up and down" can also be understood as what we often call "eighteen generations of ancestors".
The seniors were:
Father/Grandfather/Great-Grandfather/High Ancestor/Heavenly Ancestor/Liezu/Taizu/Distant Ancestor/Originator. Based on myself:
The next generation is:
Son/Grandson/Great-Grandson/Xuan-Sun/Lai-Sun/晜孙/礽孙/云孙/Ear Sun.
The research materials for these titles come from the Mainland's "Chinese Dictionary", as well as the Han Dynasty's "Erya Shiqin" and "Spring and Autumn Ram Biography • Zhuang Gong Four Years".
The upper nine and the lower nine, the eighteenth generation are not contained in themselves. In the beginning, only the nine ethnic groups said by the emperor were more unified, that is, the upper nine generations. The concept of the Eighteenth Dynasty was not clarified in writing until the Han Dynasty's "Erya Shiqin".
