First, the origin of surnames

Textual research on the origin of surnames is to research who the ancestors are and where the roots of the family are. The surname of a family is also very complicated and difficult to verify. It is necessary to make great efforts to make serious, careful and accurate textual research, so as not to make genealogy become passive water.

Second, the place of residence

Genealogy can record the birthplace of a family and the environment in which ancestors were born, multiplied and engaged in activities. Recording the natural, geographical, economic environment, customs and folklore of the ancestral home of the family can reflect and show the historical features of family members participating in local political, economic and cultural activities, which is conducive to providing rich information and materials for the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and highlighting the local and family characteristics of genealogy.

Third, the immigration situation.

With the development of society, people's activities gradually expanded from their hometown, so family migration appeared. Few families live in one place forever. After family migration, people always have a deep attachment to their family's birthplace. This persistence is the root-seeking feeling of the Chinese nation because blood is thicker than water. So genealogy naturally records the migration of families.

Four. family tree

Genealogy is an important discipline of genealogy and an important symbol that distinguishes genealogy from other history books. It is necessary to find out the origin of family lineage and record it carefully and accurately. While studying the origin of surnames, from the ancestor or ancestor, that is, ancestor, according to the world order and seniority of their descendants, the world order is clear and clear. There are two main ways to describe the lineage: one is to combine the genealogy map with the genealogy record, that is, to list the general map of the family lineage at the beginning of the genealogy book, and then use the genealogy record to describe the basic situation of each branch of the family and its people, and further supplement the genealogy map. Secondly, using the method of lineage arrangement, family lineages are mainly recorded by lineage table, most of which are horizontal and a few are vertical. Horizontal arrangement is a traditional method. The fifth generation is a table. The fifth generation of the first table must be in the first column of the second table, and so on.

With regard to genealogy charts, there are a large number of examples in the online genealogy editing platform "Genealogy King" for editors to edit online.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) memorabilia

Memorabilia in Modern New Genealogy is used to compile genealogy, record and reflect family events in various historical periods. Editing new genealogy is worth advocating and should be listed as an important part of genealogy. When compiling "Memorabilia", we should pay attention to the extensive collection of information, especially the first-hand information should be true and accurate, the sources should be well-founded, the time and place of everything should be ascertained, and the information should be carefully identified and analyzed.

Sixth, the word generation spectrum.

The word generation spectrum is a word that arranges people of different generations in the family together, reflecting the generation and blood relationship of the family. Today, we are in an open information society. As a kind of information, genealogy has become the shared information of society. Genealogy can be consulted at any time on the information website, and the word genealogy has become a symbol for people to identify family members. Therefore, the character spectrum is still an indispensable part of genealogy.

Seven, family discipline rules

Family precepts reflect a family's ethics and legal consciousness, as well as thousands of years' family education and legal tradition in China. Besides its content, its form has positive significance.

Eight, ancestral halls, graves

After several storms, the ancestral temple fell into disrepair. When compiling genealogy, some families were rebuilt by voluntary donations from their clansmen, including ancestral graves. The graves of ancestors or ancestors, as well as important people, should be recorded in the new genealogy. All the valuable inscriptions, couplets and poems can be included, and the epitaphs of ancestors' tombstones have important historical value and should be recorded separately.

Nine, literature

China's genealogy has a long history. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, our ancestors left many important historical documents, which are valuable materials for academic research. For example, the works of family ancestors, poems and songs, joint names, calligraphy and painting, epitaphs and contract documents should be recorded selectively.
