When I opened this genealogy, I saw on the title page that "generations share the same root, and children and grandchildren are also close, and they are like brothers." Speaking of the original intention of compiling genealogy, Gu, editor-in-chief of genealogy and retired cadre of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, has a heavy tone: one of his distant relatives died at 200 1, and her colleagues and some enthusiastic people raised medical expenses for her, but many people in the family never knew. "I hope to use this genealogy to' string up' family members. The original intention of compiling genealogy is to let the younger generation remember the kindness of the ancestors, carry forward the traditional spirit, and at the same time enhance family ties and promote national harmony. "
After conducting a "feasibility investigation" on the compilation of music, Gu sent a written proposal to all members of the family in February last year, so all households sent relevant materials one after another. Because of the heavy workload, Gu also set up a contact group at home. The oldest member has passed the flower armor, and the youngest has just turned 18.
After more than a year's efforts, a 104 page genealogy finally came out. The genealogy can be traced back to 130 years ago in Gu Jia, with 234 people in 6 generations. For these family members, the ancestral home, hereditary reproduction, migration and distribution, marriage, industry occupation, biography and other aspects are recorded in detail.
Ordinary people also have extraordinary family affairs. In the process of genealogy compilation, ancient Xiao Feng discovered the touching stories of many family members: his father was engaged in sailing all his life and worked hard, and was twice rated as a national model worker and commended by the state; His eldest brother and cousin, who have made special contributions to the country, enjoy special state allowances; His cousin studied hard by himself and was sent abroad as a technical expert for aid construction. ...
Such an educational family story has become the most "shining" chapter in this genealogy. Yang Laikang, a family member in his 60s, inspires the younger generation with stories of his youth. 16 years old, went to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province with his father to do carpentry and study hard, such as chiseling tenons. Others can only chisel 40 a day, and he can chisel 480 a day. ...
Gu told reporters that they decided to update the contents of the genealogy every five years, hoping to add more and more stories of family members and make the contents of this genealogy thicker and thicker.
It is reported that, like Gu, many citizens are now interested in genealogy. The genealogy reading room of Shanghai Library receives more than ten readers seeking roots and ancestors every day. Experts believe that searching for roots and ancestors can enhance family cohesion, thus enhancing social stability and inheriting traditional culture. Some ancestral customs also have a binding effect on people.
However, some traditional genealogies also contain some feudal cultures, which need to be identified.
