Translation of Wang Shixian's "Later Sequence of the Genealogy of the Wang Clan"
Wang Shijian (Yingchuan Baidai Sun Shuang Gongzhi)
There is no previous creation, how to open later? Without later elaboration, how to inherit the previous? Although the meaning of creation and exposition are different, the effect is the same. Confucius told the Six Classics, and the biography said that he was talking about the ancient emperors' methods of governing the country, not to mention the genealogy, how could future generations not be allowed to expound on the cultivation of their predecessors?
The revision of the Wang genealogy began with The Duke of Wenhe at the end of the Han Dynasty, followed by Wang Xugong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then wang Huagong of the early Tang Dynasty. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin, Han, Jin, and Sui, the bloodline inheritance of the Wang clan for more than forty generations is reflected in the lineage connection. The benevolence of the three ancestors is already very deep. Since then, the clan sages who have inherited good filial piety and originated from nature, including Wang Huai, Wang Ji, Wang Fen, and Wang Jun, have successively led the mutual revision of genealogies. In terms of style and content, some have inherited and retained the practices of their predecessors, and some have been reformed and renewed. Through the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, such as the auxiliary minister Da You Gong who continued to revise the "Four Ming Genealogy", the Zhuangyuan Gong Yingchen who revised the "Branch Genealogy of the Wishing Gong", and the Duanmingdian University Shili Xingong who wanted to revise the unified genealogy but failed to achieve his wishes, they were all famous at that time for their status, so the continuation of the unified genealogy could only depend on future generations. As for the Yuan Dynasty, wang youwen, Wang Cunxin, Wang Yanchang, and Wang Dexin, although they lived in seclusion in the countryside, never forgot the worries of their descendants; Wang Zemin and Wang Songshou, although Xianda held an official position, he never slackened his family's worries. When they continued to cultivate the genealogy, they properly identified the genealogies of the past dynasties, increased and decreased moderately, not only improved the genealogical atlas of each tribe, but also the words were radiant, how can it be said that it is only the continuity of the lineage!
To my Ming Dynasty, there was Wang Huigong in Shexian County, Wang Ruigong and his brother Yuan Xi in Wuyuan, and Shanghe Gong in Xiuning, who compiled the "Foot Records", the time span was down to two hundred years, referring to the exposition of the previous princes, the same was merged into one, and the scattered ones were brought together, thus forming a large spectrum. Unfortunately, the score was not widely circulated due to its small number of prints. We planned to revitalize the genealogy compilation and engrave it for publication. Expounding the works of predecessors, promoting their intentions so that they will be passed on forever, and lastingly maintaining the excellent situation of our Great Ming ruling the world with filial piety, and perhaps also showing the vast ethnic groups of the whole country, the inheritance of my Wang bloodline, and there are more than forty generations. The Three Dukes were compiled in the front and expounded in the past dynasties, and the benevolence of rende was profound, and the good deeds were as long as flowing water. Such an important genealogy, its compilation of the work is really great!
Deeply ashamed of the sages, I am old and lazy, in the vast sea of genealogy, I extract those contents that can be satisfied with the eye and suitable for the mouth, distinguish them according to categories, and compile a "Summary" summary, so that people can read it without releasing the volume. Fearing that the old genealogical texts might be cut off and making it impossible to continue to consult, it was planned to be engraved and published. The first model of his genealogy begins with the Marquis of Yingchuan, and the end of the spectrum is based on the editors of the same bureau and the sages of the previous dynasties who revised the genealogy, but only because those who inherited the previous are expected to be in later generations, just like the biography expounding the Taoist thought of the Analects and Mencius, which is at the end of the book.
The Ming Wanli Gengchen Year Gengchen Month Gengchen Day (i.e. the second day of the first month of April in the eighth year of the Wanli Calendar, April 24, 1580 in the Gregorian calendar) was written by Shi Xian after the score.
