The historical origin of genealogy
In the history of the Chinese nation, genealogy is one of the books with the largest number of people, the longest influence and the widest influence. Genealogy is a historical document whose main content is to record the lineage and deeds of a blood clan. The Tang Dynasty was one of the most developed dynasties in official genealogy, and the government set up special institutions to organize the compilation and revision of several large-scale genealogy works. After the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, after years of wars in five dynasties and ten countries, the genealogy handed down from generation to generation was almost lost, so that the old genealogy was rarely seen in the Song Dynasty, and many genealogies were cut off and lost. It is precisely because the ancient genealogy no longer exists and frequent migration that all surnames have a reasonable "imagination space" for genealogy revision.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the main purpose of compiling music was to maintain the family status. Because family background is directly related to the election of officials, the government also participated in it, and the government organized the compilation of genealogy. The emphasis of genealogy compilation in Song Dynasty is "Zunzuna" to maintain unity and mutual assistance within the family. Because it has nothing to do with the election of officials, the government naturally stops asking questions, so since the Song Dynasty, private individuals have compiled their own genealogy. With the weakening of the political function of genealogy, genealogy gradually moved from official government and aristocratic families to ordinary people.
After entering the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the government continued to actively encourage the revision of music scores. Kangxi and Yongzheng both called for the revision of genealogy, and local officials were keen to persuade the people to revise genealogy, which greatly increased the number of genealogists and even reached the point where there were no genealogists, making the revision of genealogy a top priority in family life.
Many genealogies visible to ordinary people are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the phenomenon of genealogy fraud in the Ming and Qing dynasties is endless. Some surname families are used to being associated with celebrities in order to improve their family status and prestige, or trace back to an emperor as their ancestor. Many genealogies are "glorifying ancestors" and often depend on emperors and famous ministers as ancestors. In the old days, there were even so-called professional "genealogists" who helped people to add famous ministers and celebrities as "fathers" when composing music. This behavior of tampering with genealogy, deceiving others and reversing basic facts is a great disrespect to ancestors, even an insult, and is not conducive to the inheritance of family style. In order to improve the "output" of genealogy, genealogists have certain frameworks and models. For example, genealogists are used to singing praises with gorgeous poems, and they also like to trace their ancestors back to celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is also the oldest period in their cognition.
Most of the existing ancient genealogies belong to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If we discuss the authenticity of genealogy from a scientific point of view, the result may be very disappointing. According to experts' research, in the existing genealogy of Ming and Qing dynasties, the contents of ancestors are mostly fictitious, and the ancestors in genealogy are often accompanied by historical celebrities. In the case of frequent wars in ancient times, it is very difficult to continue the genealogy for hundreds or even thousands of years. With the development of society and the stability of life, the authenticity of genealogy in recent generations is still very high.
