To this end, a large number of clansmen who are eager to run for the clan cause are silently and selflessly dedicating their talents, energy and wealth ..... among them, there are many political and business celebrities, entrepreneurial youth, rich people, literati and scholars, grassroots farmers and retired workers. They are outstanding representatives of their people.
Nevertheless, in real life, there are still some relatives of the Fu family who don't understand the purpose of setting up this institution. There are often people of all ages, so what is the significance and purpose of establishing the Fu clan association?
I feel sad while thinking about this problem. At present, many people don't know who their ancestors are. Including our Fourier family, mentioning our fathers, grandparents and great-grandfathers, or thinking that we know, and then going back, who are our ancestors? Where did it come from? Why did you come? I'm afraid I don't know much
What needs to be explained is that it is nothing to care about your own existence and create conditions for your own survival and development. However, the souls of ancestors have eyes in the sky, protecting our descendants, and their blood is passed down from generation to generation, inheriting their spirit. We are unconscious and indifferent. How can I feel at ease? If we meet someone with a foreign surname who belittles the sages, where is our face and dignity?
Ignoring the soul of ancestors, forgetting filial piety and morality. At this rate, I am afraid that one day there will be no father, no children and no grandchildren. At this time, should we comfort our ancestors? How can I see my ancestors under the grave?
How can we talk about patriotism if our ancestors are disrespectful?
Is it meaningful to set up a clan association? Is this just the wishful thinking of a few people? Just castles in the air? Phantom world? In real life, how to seize the economy, stand firm and stand out from the crowd may be the most puzzled place in the hearts of many clansmen.
Let's talk about it from several aspects. Why should we set up a clan association?
one
Definition of kinship
What is a clan association? As the name implies: the sects are of the same clan. Tang Kong Yingda wrote: "The sects that don't move after a hundred years are called big sects, and the sects that move after five generations are called small sects." Pro, of course, refers to relatives, relatives of the same clan; Unity: unite as one; Friendship: friendship, friendship and affection; Meeting: party, group; The place where the clan worships their ancestors is called the ancestral hall (ancestral hall); The main data to record clan history is genealogy (genealogy, genealogy); The Chinese nation is a big family with a history of 5,000 years, which is composed of various surnames and clans.
Therefore, the clan association is a folk surname group that unites kindred and promotes family ties. The clan association of the Fu family is an exchange platform for the members of the Fu family to unite to carry out cultural research, genealogy compilation, economic development, information exchange and blood relationship promotion.

The purpose of establishing clan association
In the final analysis, the clan association is mainly to explore the origin of Fu's development, carry forward Fu's culture, inherit Fu's clan civilization, straighten out clan history, expand exchanges, strengthen unity, enhance clan friendship, promote social harmony and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The development direction of clan association
With the aim of serving the majority of clansmen, the clan association is committed to building the clan association of Fu's into an exchange platform of "remembering the history of Fu's family, promoting culture, inheriting family civilization, talking about clan friendship, helping the poor together, sharing information, seeking common development and promoting economic development and social harmony", and strengthening exchanges and cooperation with clan associations at home and abroad.

Significance of establishing clan association
1, search for roots and ancestors, trace back to ancestors, help Fu's descendants at home and abroad to search for roots and worship ancestors, enhance the unity and friendship of Fu's descendants, and enhance the cohesion of Fu's family and even the Chinese nation;
2. Carry forward the family culture, so that the people can understand courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame, filial piety, filial piety, loyalty and faith; Carry out research on the history and culture of the Fu family, rescue and excavate the cultural heritage of the Fu family, and sort out and inherit the cultural treasures of the Fu family;
3. Collect genealogical data, explore the origin of Fu's family, compile Fu's genealogy, inherit the spirit of edition-building, and make Fu's descendants develop in an orderly, healthy and sustainable way;
4. Take this opportunity to unite people, exchange and communicate economic and trade information, carry out economic and trade exchanges and cooperation, promote cooperation and exchanges, share resources and seek common development;
5. Four seas and one vein converge, and there is no second Fu surname in the world. Fu was born in Pinglu, Shanxi, and his descendants are all over the world. The existing Fu family is huge and numerous, and they don't know each other, which leads to a certain degree of estrangement between people, and they don't communicate with each other, even regard each other as enemies. Even screwed up and lost his manners.

The Core Thought of Fu Family Culture
"Filial piety, filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame" are the foundation of being a man and the essence of all cultures that Confucius inherited from Fu Shuo Thought. Our belief in philosophy and our ideals, goals and virtues in life are inseparable from these eight words.
1, filial piety is filial piety, filial piety to parents, elders and ancestors. Our ancestor Fu Shuo has been observing the actions of future generations. He used to be poor, and there would be no filial piety without filial piety. Now that our lives have gradually changed, we can't forget our ancestors. Filial piety is an action, filial piety is a culture, and it is filial piety to publicize the culture of our ancestors. In view of the fact that the descendants of the Fu family generally don't know who it is, it is very urgent to set up the Fu clan association. It is the responsibility of each of us to spread the blessing culture and interpret the blessing civilization. Objectively speaking, this is filial piety.
2. Love is respect, and it is a situation in which friendship between brothers and sisters contributes to humility. Through clan associations, clansmen can live in harmony, exchange and develop with each other.
Loyalty means loyalty, loyalty to the country, loyalty to ancestors, loyalty to family and loyalty to work. The clan association must be established in our hands to live up to the expectations of our ancestors.
4. Faith is credit, words must be done, actions must bear fruit, honesty and trustworthiness, uprightness, integrity and cleanliness are the requirements for our future generations.
5, courtesy is etiquette, etiquette, kinship should be polite to each other, meet politely, the old said the old, the less said the less, the ethics is always orderly, and the elders and younger generations are polite. Through the fraternity, we get to know each other and behave appropriately.
6. Righteousness is not only loyalty, but also justice. This is brave, fair and just. Through clan associations, the Fu family can learn about the selfless spirit of serving the people and help them solve problems. No matter which one is in trouble, we can help each other.
7. Honesty is incorruptible. When fraternity helps Fu solve difficulties, selfishness cannot exist. Nothing can be greedy, nor can it be cheap. It is emphasized that members should abide by national laws and regulations, carry forward Chinese national culture, advocate family ties and unity, and advocate the spirit of hard work and dedication. Members of the clan association have the obligation to serve the clan association without any remuneration.
8. Shame is shame, unreasonable, unreasonable, and against the law. The clan association strives to warn the Fu clan people with the constraints of clan rules and ancestral training, and put the shame and honor of the clan into the continued genealogy to pass on to future generations.

Cohesion of clan organizations
Cohesion is also credibility and centripetal force. As the saying goes, people turn their backs. Through clan association, there is a tacit understanding between clans from strangeness to familiarity, and then from familiarity to mutual understanding, and there is trust, dependence and obedience between them, thus making the whole family more vital and creative.
Clan associations have certain systems and disciplines, which increase the binding force and supervision among family members and create the foundation for a harmonious society. In a good and harmonious environment, the Fu family is more likely to develop healthily and orderly. A harmonious society not only originates from the creativity of Fu Ren, but also influences and transforms Fu Ren. Through clan association, the Fu clan and the Fu clan will continue to grow and develop.
