Are there any rules for generations in genealogy?

The characters used in the family genealogy are:

Xi, Yan, Gong, Yan, Cheng, Hong (Hong), Wen, Zhen, Shang, Yin (Yan).

Xing, Yu, Chuan, Ji, Guang, Zhao, Xian, Qing, Fan, Xiang.

Ling, De, Wei, Chui, You, Qin, Shao, Nian, Xian, Yang.

Jian, Dao, Dun, An, Ding, Mao, Xiu, Zhao, Yi, Chang.

Yu, Wen, Huan, Jing, Rui, Yong, Xi, Shi, Xu, Chang.

In what order are the characters in the family tree arranged?

In the past, generation had to be shown in Chinese naming. For example: If my father's surname is Zhang, his name is: Zhang Yuan×. In our generation, it must be: Zhang De×, in the generation of sons, it must be: Zhang Wei×, and in the generation of grandchildren, it must be: Zhang Pu×.

It keeps spreading like this. When you meet someone from a family outside, as long as you tell them your name, you will know whether you are older or younger than me. This also determines the title and status of me and the other person.

The selection of the character generation must be based on the character spectrum handed down by the family, otherwise it will mess up the rules in the family tree. The name spectrum passed down in the family tree must be used. If your name does not contain the "character" left in the family tree, the family will not recognize you as a member of the family and will only consider you to be a member of the outside family with the same surname.

Based on your family's relocation history, you should trace your roots and continue your genealogy, and determine the order of the middle words. If you really can't find the root cause, you can ask someone to rank it - that is, the number of strokes in the surname, the number of strokes in the middle character, and the total of the two are all auspicious numbers.

Zi generation should be said to be an indispensable part of a complete family tree and the imprint of a family. In fact, Ziyi can be regarded as a relatively casual literary form. Its randomness lies in the fact that although it has a certain format, it does not pay attention to strict rhyme like rhythmic poetry, and unlike lyrics and music, which must use existing brand names.

Through words, two people who don’t know each other can be united together, and a sudden sense of intimacy can be created between strangers. It can also enhance the cohesion among various groups. As a part of the surname culture, we should inherit and carry it forward well.
