First, from the seniority arrangement of the Dong family in Gaocheng, we talk about the scholar Shoujing, Wuwei Bingcheng, ancestor Zhao Zhongshan, prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty, wind and cloud society, Jingyin prosperous, ranked as general and minister, and held the position of public minister. Each Taiwan has its honors, its name is marked in history, its reputation will last for generations, and its splendor can be traced back to its ancestors. This is the generation arrangement of the descendants of Dong Jun in the Yuan Dynasty in Gaocheng. The family of Dong Jun (1184 - 1232), just as the typewriters say, started from Zhongshan (Gaocheng was called Zhongshan in ancient times) and became glorious in the Yuan Dynasty. In the changing times, the descendants prospered and became generals. One gate and ten thousand stones, four gates and five masters spread all over the country... It is hard to believe that these 48 characters were excavated and sorted out by Dong Jun's descendants in the 1950s. They are already far away from their ancestors. For more than 700 years, it makes people sigh with emotion. There is a genealogy of the Dong family in the west of Anyang City, Henan Province, which reads: Lu Side came from Zhongshu Wan, the Yuan Dynasty entered and Xinwen Yan, good jade was added to the growth, heaven and man made great talents, Luoyang was linked to Xizhao, and filial piety was the predestined relationship. The genealogy of this family tree is more perfect than that of Gaocheng. It tells people that the first ancestor of this branch was Dong Lu, and his sons and grandsons were of the generation of Si and De. Their ancestor was Dong Zhongshu, and the official in the Yuan Dynasty was "Xin (Xin) Wen Yan (Yan)". Their family origins can be traced back to Luoyang-Xizhao (direct). This generational chart clearly explains to people the family and migration trajectory of Dong Lu, a descendant of Dong Jun who came from Yanshan (Beijing), in the late Yuan and Ming dynasties. Liangyu is the third and fourth generation descendant of Dong Jun's third son, Dong Wenyong (Yancai), with the surname "Jing" and "武". Sheng (sheng) is the fifth generation of the surname "Wei". These typesettings are very clearly shown in the Gaocheng family tree... From the above two family trees, it can be seen that the ancestors were very rigorous and very clever when typing the generations. After reading it, future generations will immediately understand the origins of their own family and the origins of their ancestors. 2. The phenomenon of imitation in genealogical ordering. In 1744 AD, Emperor Qianlong set thirty characters for the descendants of Confucius: "I hope that the public will be successful, the great news will be pure and spread, the Xingyu will be passed down widely, the Xianxian will be prosperous, and the virtue will be preserved." "Weiyou, Qin Shao Nian Xian Yang". In 1920, Kong Lingzhao followed up these 30 words with 20 words: "Building roads will ensure stability, repairing roads will make roads more permanent, prosperity will bring prosperity and prosperity, and the world will be prosperous forever." This kind of family style typesetting, which was granted by the emperor, is unique in China. Because he was famous in the imperial family, the trend of imitation covered the land of Kyushu. The first people to follow Confucius were the Confucian disciples. The Meng family even copied the layout of Confucius' family tree verbatim... In modern and modern times, the layout of Dong's family tree is also imitated consciously or unconsciously. The handwriting of the Confucius and Mencius families. In fact, for me, whose surname is Dong, this is a phenomenon of kindness and reciprocity. Dong Zhongshu plays an important role in Qufu. Many stone tablets, county and local annals, and even documents and books have records of Dong Zhongshu's deeds. As recorded in "Guangji of the Sun Family's Ancestral Court" written by Kong Yuancuo, the 51st generation grandson of Confucius, in the Han Dynasty, Confucius's urn was unearthed at the ruins of the lecture hall of Confucius' former residence with an alchemy script (written in cinnabar): "Later generations Xiu Wu Shu Dong Zhongshu". After the First Emperor of Qin burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, Confucius's writings were extinct. Since Dong Zhongshu advised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to "only respect Confucianism", he resurrected the extinct Book of Confucius. Descendants of Confucius respected Dong Zhongshu as their benefactor and placed a memorial tablet of Dong Zhongshu in the "Baode Temple" of Confucius Mansion for worship. The descendants of Dong Zhongshu also regard respecting Confucianism as their great responsibility. They not only advocate Confucianism in humanistic theory, but also consciously integrate the Confucian style of writing into their own family trees. Such as "Cunweixian Bingxiang" (typesetting by Suining Dong), "Qingyu Jiguang" (typesetting by Jiawang Dong)... and so on. Third, famous Confucian sentences include "Benevolence, Righteousness, Properity, Wisdom, and Faith" proposed by Dong Zhongshu (Wuchang); "Cultivate oneself to rule the country and bring peace to the world" proposed by "The Great Learning"; and even the Eight Virtues advocated by Confucianism: "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, trust, justice, and peace"; "The Five Elements of Changes", etc. etc., constitute the origin of the names of thousands of surnames in the Chinese nation. Our Dong family has followed suit and is even at the top of the list of surnames in the country. Looking through the genealogy of our Dong family, we can see the presence of Chinese Confucianism everywhere, both in ancient times and today with the development of science and technology. This article only takes individual words as examples and analyzes them briefly as follows. "Yan" refers to a talented and handsome person in ancient times.
2. If the generations are long, first calculate the approximate age (25-30 years per generation). It will be much easier to compare the events of the family and contact historical figures from the genealogy. 3. Talk more about family history with the elders of the family, and look for new clues from the family legends and honor and disgrace events that they can still remember... Of course, there are also many more detailed analysis methods, which depends on everyone* **To be completed with the same research*** and the same efforts, this article will not go into details. /user6/lylcdyx/2010/1/2/389930.html Dong family backup arrangement.
