"Meng's Genealogy" says: "Therefore, generations are divided into ranks and characters, not young and old." Meng's surname began in the Ming Dynasty. Since the fifty-sixth generation of Mencius' Sun Meng was awarded the Doctor of Five Classics in Jingtai hereditary imperial academy in Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Mencius have been appointed to the world. At that time, there were ten children named "Yan, Gong, Yan, Cheng, Hong, Wen, Zhen, Shang and Yin". Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Aisingiorro's Li Hong, the word "Hong" was changed to "Hong", and in order to avoid the taboo of Sejong (Yongzheng) Aisingiorro's Yin Zhen, it was changed to "Hong". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were ten words of "Xing, Yu, Chuan, Ji, Guang, Zhao, Xian, Qing, Fan and Xiang". In the fourth year of Qing Dynasty (1865), when Meng revised the score, he established the cross of "Ling, De, Wei, Hang, You, Qin, Shao, Nian, Xian and Yang". In the early years of the Republic of China, "building, Taoism, Dun, An, Ding, Mao, Xiu, Zhao, Yi, Chang,

The twentieth generation of "Yu, Wen, Huan, Jing, Rui, Yong, Shi, Xu and Chang" was approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Beiyang warlord government at that time and published in the newspaper. In this way, it went through seventy-four generations from Meng * * * to Chang * *105.

Meng's genealogy requires people to name themselves strictly according to the word generation, otherwise they will not be included in the genealogy, but will only be regarded as "outside Meng" Since the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Meng nationality have followed the clan rules and attached great importance to the relationship between obedience and inferiority. When Meng people meet, they always ask each other "which word?" "Which generation?" What word school does it mean? Others asked, "How old?" "Several generations" refers to how many generations of grandchildren Monk has. If the other person can't answer, he will not only feel ashamed, but also be laughed at by the other person and forget his ancestors. Therefore, the Meng people attach great importance to this.

According to the Meng family tree compiled during the Republic of China, the characters of the Meng school are equivalent to Confucius, Yan, Zeng and Min of Confucianism. Although they have different surnames and ancestors, they can all be said to be descendants of Confucianism. So the word generation of these surnames is the same. The genealogy of the Meng family in the Republic of China also stipulated 16 family precepts for the descendants of the Meng family, namely, filial piety, faithfulness, reading, ploughing, forbearance, diligence, kindness, occupation, extravagance, gambling, lewdness, fierce drinking, planting graves, herding cattle and sheep, healthy litigation and banter. Now it seems that these ethnic trainings are somewhat outdated, but most of them are still of positive significance.

Hall number is the name of each surname, which is often determined by the glorious achievements of ancestors, the deeds of characters or stories that inspire future generations, such as "Wuyuetang" surnamed Qian, "Xiliutang" surnamed Zhou and "Sanhuaitang". Some have only one hall number, while others have multiple hall numbers. For example, the surname Sun has four hall numbers: Pingzhi Hall, Lean Hall, Fuchun Hall and Yingxuetang.

Meng's surname is "San Qian Tang", and its origin is that a mother teaches her children well. In order to cultivate Monk's talents, she moved three times, and finally moved to this school, and cultivated Mencius into a saint. This is the story of Saint Amethyst's "Meng Mu's Neighborhood Selection" and "Meng Mu's Three Movements", which began with the Biography of Lienv written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty. Its date is: "Living near the tomb, there are few Mencius, and the drama is between the tombs, so it is actively built and buried. Meng Mu said, "This is no reason to live in a house. "... just go. She, whose play is Jiaxuan. Meng Mu Day: That's no reason to live in a house. It is next to Gong Xue in Tushe, and its game is to set up cowpeas and let them advance and retreat. Meng Mu said: This can really be a home. Live in it. "

The translation is as follows:

According to Liu Xiang's Biography of Women in the Western Han Dynasty, Meng Mu once lived next to Mencius in a cemetery. Nine-year-old Monk often saw the funeral crowd passing by his house, so he imitated the funeral, or learned to cry as a dutiful son, or learn to play the trumpet, or played games with friends to carry coffins and bury the dead. Seeing all this, Meng Mu thought that living here for a long time would not only affect Monk's study, but also ruin his moral character, so he moved to Miaohuying in the northwest of Zou County. At that time, Miaohuying was a bustling market town. Businessmen and tourists were sent to say hello, and charlatans were cheating. Staying in such a bustling business district all day, Monk and his neighbor's children learned to do business, bargain, sell and shout. His east neighbor is a butcher, and Monk often goes to them to learn how to kill pigs and sheep. Meng Mu thought this place was not conducive to Mencius' study and growth, so he moved to Gong Xue, outside the south gate of Zou County. At that time, it was a learning palace established by the third generation of Confucius, Sun Kong and Zisi, and it was called Zisi Academy. After Mencius moved here, he heard the sound of reading every day. He also often goes to the academy to study and practice Zhou etiquette with Zisi's disciples. Meng Mu sent him to the palace gate to study with Zisi's students. Because Mencius studied hard, he eventually became a great scholar. It can be seen that Meng Mu is very attentive to his son's education. Therefore, the descendants of Meng took this as the hall number, which was called "Three Movements Hall."
