#现在农村很多续家谱的, what do you think about that? #
Water has a source, trees have roots, the country has a history, and the family has a genealogy. The family tree is the life history of the development of the family, the precious information of the family inheritance, and the extremely precious cultural heritage of the family, which is a written record of tracing back to the roots, clarifying the lineage and passing it down from generation to generation.
Now there are many things in the countryside that continue to repair the family tree, this is true, I will talk about our Liu family in recent years to continue to repair the family tree.
The ninth renewal of the Liu family tree
July 2017 was the ninth renewal of the Liu family tree. The origin of the continuation is that Liu Hancheng, the 14th grandson of the Liu family, moved to Sanyuan, Shaanxi between about 1878 and 1882 AD, where he continued to live and breed his descendants, and founded the Sanyuan Gospel Village.
Thousands of miles away, villages were built and established, and the wise men were recruited. It also built the well-known Chongzhen College and the Beautiful College, which are famous at home and abroad and have far-reaching influence.
The eighteenth grandson Liu Yuzhang searched for relatives and recognized his ancestors and returned to the sect, which contributed to the origin of this renewal of the family tree.

Liu Yuzhang's "Remembering My Great-Grandfather Liu Danzhi"
After the Xinhai Revolution, Liu Danzhi, the fifteenth grandson of Liu Hancheng, founded the Xi'an Christian Self-Reliance Association, got rid of the domination of foreign religions, and immersed himself in the study of the constitutional order and market economy spawned by the revolution. Influenced by revolutionary thought, he believed that if the Chinese nation wanted to rejuvenate, only the combination of East and West could realize China's modernization in an all-round way, and put forward the purpose of "three self-one new" education.
In 1921, he met Feng Yuxiang in Xi'an and formed a friendship.

Liu Danzhi's daughter Liu Suzhen
The daughters of the Liu clan are not idle, and the sixteenth grandson Liu Suzhen, who was a man of insight who was once famous for a while, was taught by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in person and became a hero in North China and Shaanxi. It has the characteristics of being straightforward and talkative. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was also a matter of speaking out in righteousness, helping the poor and helping the needy, and running for women's equal rights and interests.
Due to overwork, he died in Nanjing in December 1946. At that time, the Government of the Republic of China also held a public funeral for him. Song Meiling is the chief priest, and Chiang Kai-shek's personal letter "Bang Yan Min Mo" has four big characters. Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, and others all sent wreaths.
When the body was returned to Xi'an, Chiang Kai-shek personally sent it across the Yangtze River. At the time of the funeral in Shaanxi, the people along the way spontaneously made sacrifices on the road, and the flow was endless, and the tragedy was unprecedented. It is really an outstanding woman with national influence who came out of the Liu clan in the early modern period of China.

The sixth and seventh editions of the Liu Zhencun Liu Clan Genealogy
Back to the matter of continuing the family tree, it was in 1993 that the Liu clan of Liu Zhen Village organized a continuation of the genealogy, when the nineteenth grandson Liu Cheng returned from Xi'an to visit his relatives, witnessed the genealogy and heard the old man of the clan say that there is a clan in Xi'an North Gospel Village, and there has been no news so far.
After returning to the army, he went to visit the villagers, so he gave them the 1993 Liu Zhen genealogy book, and because he left Xi'an, he had no contact.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > search for roots and ask for ancestral reunion</h1>
Liu Yuzhang, the eighteenth grandson of the Gospel Village, was a senior cadre during his military career and settled in Xi'an after retirement. When visiting the laojia people, he talked about Liu Zhen's genealogy in 1993, which aroused Yuzhang's idea of searching for his roots and asking his ancestors. Discuss the matter with cousin Wang Xiaoying. Xiaoying works in Jinan, more than a hundred kilometers away from Qingzhou, and takes the initiative to undertake the matter of searching for her ancestors. After a large number of external transfer work in the early stage, on the second day of October 2016, Wang Xiaoying and his wife were entrusted by their cousin Liu Yuzhang to go to Liu Zhen to find their roots and ask their ancestors. After getting in touch with Liu Jianwen, the eighteenth grandson of Liu Zhen, the clan relatives who had lived in vain for many years finally had news and finally had a reunion.
In order to incorporate the Shaanxi Liu clan into the family tree, this Liu family tree continuation was organized.

My grandfather's grandmother Shaw's chastity monument (the base is damaged)
Through the continuation of the Liu family tree, a number of valuable plaques and early hanging scores with collectible value have been excavated. As for the "Zhitong Golden Stone" stele, it is the Chastity Monument of Lady Xiao of the Liu Family. When I was a child, I heard adults talk about the Chastity Monument, and it would be unclear, so I thought it was someone else's business. This was the first time I knew about it, in March of the thirty-second year of the Qing Dynasty, when I ordered The Governor of Shandong, Zaichang, to be inscribed by my grandfather's grandmother, Xiao Shi, to show his chastity.
It was close to me, but far away. Say it's close, and its collector is my eldest brother. Saying that it is very far away, it was buried in the ground at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and it has been preserved to this day, just in time for the prosperity of Shenzhou, the national peace and security, and the continuation of the family tree, it can be seen again, and it is a rare historical relic.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the long history of clan culture</h1>
Modern young people really still don't know anything, and a surname has its own unique interpretation, which shows that china's early culture has a long history.
Liu's totem
The surname Liu raises a giant axe and uses Liu as a totem. It is the most original root of the Liu surname. In the primitive life of human beings, the role and significance of the axe are enormous, and it is one of the most primitive and ancient tools created by human beings.
"Liu" is one of the original axes. Or in one of the primitive clans, they called the axe "Liu".
As early as the ancient Honghuang era, a certain clan of our Chinese nation recognized and felt the sacred role and great power of the tool "Liu", so they used "Liu" as the totem of their own clan and began to worship him. Over time, "Liu" became the bloodline emblem of this clan that distinguished it from other clans, and gradually became recognized by other clans. As a result, the world's ancient primitive Liu clan was formed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > my view of the continuation of the family tree</h1>
Towering trees must have their roots, and gushing rivers must have their sources. It is the unshirkable obligation and responsibility of every young generation to follow your ancestral roots and carry forward the fine traditions of your ancestors.
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and one generation is stronger than the next. The descendants of the Liu clan will surely remember the legacy of their ancestors, respect the old and love the young, be friendly with others, never forget the mission, forge ahead, study hard, aspire to become talents, and bravely climb the peak.
I think that the continuation of the family tree has a certain far-reaching historical significance, is a supplement to modern culture, makes young people more inspirational, lets the simple style of the clan immerse itself in the lives of a new generation, and subtly affects generations of people.
