Is your family prosperous?

Maybe forget it. In the past 150 years, the population has been more than 200, excluding those who have migrated out of the country, and more than 200 people have migrated out to reproduce. The first generation Kaijizu and his wife gave birth to 5 sons, the second generation 5 boys, the third generation 19 boys, my great-grandfather had three brothers, my great-grandfather gave birth to six sons, his two younger brothers*** 7 sons. In the fourth generation, my grandfather has three sons and 5 male grandchildren. His 4 brothers, 8 sons and 11 male grandchildren. 3 cousins, 8 sons and 12 male grandchildren. In the fifth generation, my father has two sons. , four grandchildren.

It is everyone’s wish to have both wealth and wealth! Superstitiously speaking, one must have ancestors who have accumulated good deeds, good people from generation to generation, and the family must have good fengshui and good fortune. A prosperous residence is a place where people can be raised, and only then can they be prosperous and prosperous. If you are virtuous and good, you will protect your descendants!

My family does not produce any famous people, but it is prosperous. I, the twenty-fifth generation descendant of the Gai family in Jiaodong, belong to a prosperous branch of the Gai family who live along the Wulong River. There is no second. Because when I go out on the street, all I meet are grandpas and great-grandfathers.

I am a man, 50 years old this year, and I think my family is prosperous.

My great-great-grandfather took his three children, his two brothers, and their families from Laoting, Hebei, to the Northeast. I don’t know what happened to the two brothers’ families. I'm only talking about my great-grandfather's branch that I know.

My great-great-grandfather’s family has four sons and I don’t know how many daughters. My great-grandfather was the fourth child. The eldest great-grandfather (great-grandfathers in the Northeast are all called Taiye) and the third great-grandfather are dozens of miles away from my home. I don’t remember many of them when I was a child. Later, I heard a lot about them from my father. Later, I went to school in other provinces and worked far away. , so I no longer pay attention to many things. But my father said that there are many brothers there.

My great-grandfather and second great-grandfather lived in the same village. After the second great-grandfather got married, he had no children. The second great-grandfather did not find a second wife, so he adopted a son from the fourth great-grandfather's family. Because there are three boys and two girls in the fourth grandfather’s family, the adopted one is my grandfather, the second oldest, so I have two grandfathers, because my grandfather has two fathers and two mothers.

The uncle (grandpa’s eldest brother) has four uncles and two aunts in his family. The master (grandpa’s younger brother) has two uncles and one aunt in his family. My father is the eldest son in my grandfather's family. I have four uncles and three aunts.

In our generation, we have five cousins, exactly one boy in each family, and six sisters. There is still a younger brother who is not married, and the four brothers who are married have exactly one boy in each family.

I feel that our family is still prosperous, but I am very worried about my younger brother. How much pressure will there be if he gets married? Because when grandma was alive, she really hoped that she could have 5 sons, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.

My family is average in size. To be honest, when I read the family tree, I always feel that life was not easy for our ancestors. Our ancestors came to settle in our village, and it is really not easy for them to be passed down to our generation.

The ancestors came to our village with their second generation ancestors to sell tea, and then established their residence. The first-generation ancestor only gave birth to one second-generation ancestor, and the second-generation ancestor gave birth to three brothers from the third-generation ancestor, but only one of them had a wife and children. It is said that two brothers, the fourth generation ancestor, separated their families. In my family, counting from the fifth generation ancestor, only one of the five brothers of the fifth generation ancestor can carry on the family line, and there is only one sixth generation ancestor. The sixth generation ancestor gave birth to seven brothers, and only one of them married and had children. When the eighth generation ancestor had seven brothers, only two of them married and had children. Since the ninth generation ancestor, each of the five brothers has passed down six tenth generation ancestors. Five of the tenth generation ancestors have married wives and had children. By the eleventh generation, each of them has married a wife and had children. By the thirteenth generation of my generation, the population is still not very large, only over a hundred people in total. The population is not very prosperous, it is very scattered.

Our family is considered prosperous, but half of us are in Southeast Asia.

My great ancestor traveled from Kinmen to the mainland alone and gave birth to three sons. But maybe he died young. I only saw one great-uncle in the family tree written by my grandfather. Currently, more than half of the people in that branch are in our hometown, and some are in Fuzhou. After all, he is my great-grandfather’s biological brother, who has not yet been born. Server 5, we are not in our hometown, so we know less about it. But in my impression, there are at least 10 uncles and uncles (my dad and the others are considered second-generation cousins.

My great-grandfather’s calculation is relatively clear, but more than half of them are in Singapore and Indonesia, but they stay in their hometown. But there are very few, because we are an immigrant family.

As mentioned before, Gaozu just returned to the mainland. Gaozu did not tell future generations exactly how many people there were in Kinmen. Only the local records here mentioned. We are from Zhupu, Kinmen. So after my great-grandmother passed away in Singapore, my fourth uncle engraved all the men and women who were born as of 1977 on my great-grandmother’s tombstone. My father’s generation* **51 people, 23 male great-grandchildren. Not all great-grandchildren are engraved, because many of our male great-grandchildren were not born yet. There are probably 7 or 8 male great-grandchildren engraved on it, but there are no female great-grandchildren.

< p> In the early days of the Republic of China, in many families here, older brothers and sisters went to Nanyang to make money and sent flowers back to younger brothers, sisters and parents. Therefore, as the eldest son, my eldest uncle went to Indonesia with the villagers early. It is said that it was also difficult, and he married late and married. I am an Indonesian native, and my children cannot speak the native language. They contact us through our brothers in Singapore.

The eldest uncle married late, and his sons were also born late. The eldest uncle’s four sons were all born in the 1970s. They were only a few years older than me and 15 or 6 years younger than my father. The great uncle’s grandchildren are born in 2000 and 10 years old. Because I have little contact with him, I don’t know much about my uncle.

The second uncle also went to Indonesia. He was already married before going to Indonesia. Therefore, the eldest fourth generation in the family belongs to the second uncle. When the second uncle’s eldest son passed away in 2019, he was 83. She is 4 years old and the eldest daughter is also in her 80s. The second uncle's children are only one generation apart, and his granddaughter is older than his uncle. The second uncle and his wife have 12 children together, and the family has more than 180 people, who are already the great-great-grandchildren (seventh generation).

The third uncle also went to Indonesia, worked hard in the same place as the second uncle, and got married early. The fourth generation, the eldest son of San Bo Gong, ranked second. When I was young, I went back to my hometown to study, and my grandparents took care of me. Later, I went to live in Hong Kong. I used to come back often and fish in the pond in front of my house. But I didn’t come back after 2000. When my grandfather passed away in 2014, I rushed back to see him off. He was 76 or 7 years old at that time. Later, one time my dad went to Hong Kong to find him (cousin) and another one (eldest cousin), but he was not allowed to look for them. They are not doing well in Hong Kong.

The fourth uncle is the key person in our family connection. After the outbreak of World War II, he was captured as a young man. Later, my great-grandmother secretly sent him to Singapore. In 1937, when he was 18 years old, he took his 7-year-old son with him. My uncle went to Singapore. The fourth uncle also had a child bride, but after going to Singapore, the child bride did not go with her and remarried. The fourth uncle’s eldest son is the third, 13 years older than my father, and was born in 1943. Later, the fourth uncle returned to his hometown, got married, and gave birth to two boys and one girl. He went to Singapore again and only took his two sons with him. The eldest daughter was left to be raised by my grandparents. Although the fourth uncle's son and daughter were born early, his sons and grandsons all got married later. My second uncle's son is over 40 years old and has not yet been born. He should have a grandson, but he went to Singapore twice and didn't see him.

My grandfather is the fifth in the family, and his four sons and two daughters were all born after liberation. In the early years, my grandparents first adopted a daughter, and then adopted a daughter from the fourth uncle. My dad has 4 brothers, and we have 8 cousins ??(not counting grandchildren), and 2 great-grandchildren, 2 boys and 2 girls. If we only count direct blood relatives, my uncle’s granddaughter was born in 2002 and is 19 years old this year. Our birth names are, my cousin’s son is 2005 and his daughter is 19 years old. My children are both 10 years old and my cousin is still unmarried. My cousin wants to become a grandfather relatively soon. His son is 16 years old, while my son is only over 1 year old. By the time my son gets married, I estimate he will be over 60.

The five brothers before my grandfather all had four sons, so there are quite a few in the second and third generations. My sixth uncle and seventh uncle have fewer sons.

The sixth uncle was not born late. The two eldest daughters are both great-grandmothers and can be regarded as the great-great-grandchildren of the sixth uncle. But the sixth uncle only had one son, one grandson and one granddaughter. The sixth uncle's grandson was born in 1975. He only had one daughter and never had another daughter. 70 years later, there will be no one in our hometown and our team.

The seventh uncle's father-in-law's life is quite rough, but at least he has his fourth brother to take care of him. When I left my parents at the age of 7 and went to a foreign country, survival was a problem. However, he can be regarded as the first generation of pioneers in the founding of Singapore. He opened three companies in his early years. But he passed away in 1980 at the age of 50, leaving behind 2 sons and 5 daughters. The seventh uncle’s eldest grandson was born the year he passed away. He is 42 years old this year, one year older than me. When I went to Singapore, I had the most contact with my seventh uncle’s eldest grandson, and I knew their family quite well. The seventh uncle has 2 sons, 2 grandsons and 4 granddaughters. The great-grandchildren are currently 2 boys and 1 girl, all children of the eldest grandson. The second grandson is still serving compulsory service in Singapore and is 21 years old this year.

The old Chinese tradition is that having more children means more blessings. When my grandfather passed away in 2014, there were many people in our house alone. It happened that the fourth uncle's child came back to see my grandfather for the last time, and also saw my grandfather off for the last time. At that time, except for the great uncle, there was no explanation. Indonesian 2 and 3, Singaporean 4 and 7, and the 6th house in my hometown all came to express their gratitude. I can imagine what would happen to our family if none of my grandfather's brothers left home. From my great ancestor to the current seventh generation, our family includes at least nearly a thousand people including sons-in-law, grandsons, fourth and even fifth generations after the third generation. Because I know that my grandfather has at least two cousins, and a child bride who was married off as our daughter. There are also many descendants of these three daughters.

Now I also want to go to Kinmen to find the descendants of my great ancestor’s family, and to Indonesia to find the descendants of my three uncles

The prosperity of the family is closely related to the fate of the country,

My surname is Wen. In Yutai County, Shandong Province, my grandfather’s grandfather had 13 cousins ??during the Republic of China. The population was considered prosperous at that time. Around 1926, floods, droughts, and locust plagues occurred in the southwest of Shandong. When the young men went to war, my great-grandfather and three brothers were all forced to serve as soldiers, leaving only my great-grandmother and one-year-old grandpa in the family to make a living. Of the 13 great-grandfather’s cousins, only three came back and left descendants. There were only 6 in my grandfather’s generation. When it came to my father’s and aunt’s generation, there were actually 27 girls and only 7 boys. In my generation, there were 13 boys.

From the Republic of China in 1920 to 2021 this year, for a full hundred years, the prosperity of the family was closely related to the destiny of the country. If it were not for the war in the Republic of China, if 13 people in my great-grandfather's generation had not died in the military, the reproduction population would have been at least There were supposed to be 300 people, but unfortunately only three came back alive to have descendants, and now there are only more than 60 people.

Nowadays, the family planning policy has been loosened, but the pressure of raising children is high, and the concept has also changed. It is the same for boys and girls. It is not easy to restore a big and prosperous family. I pray for the prosperity of the country! The family thrives!

I think my family will be prosperous only in my son’s generation. My family is the oldest among the more than 1,000 people in the village. The families closest to me (six generations) are all of the same generation. The reason for our high status is that one is poor and the other is being bullied. Unfortunately, my family has occupied all of them. Looking at the genealogy and listening to the words of our ancestors, it is a miracle that we were born. Several generations of people have been bullied by the family next door. In the countryside, water is used to irrigate the fields. If they don’t let go, don’t leave. I want a drop of water. Until my great-grandfather, there was still no brick house with tiles in his family. Later, when another family fell into decline, my great-grandfather spent twenty taels of silver to buy his house (I still have the house purchase contract from more than a hundred years ago). , my great-grandfather gave birth to four brothers. My great-grandfather was the eldest son, but his second brother was beaten to death by members of the family mentioned above when he was a teenager (during the late Qing Dynasty). When I was born, there were still two uncles and great-grandmothers alive. , there were only four brothers in my grandfather’s generation. After the liberation, the previous family was grouped, many bandits joined in, and there were not many left. My father’s generation had ten men, and there were a lot of aunts. , because three of my cousins ????died unexpectedly, and due to family planning, there are only twelve boys in my generation. As the eldest grandson of the eldest son, I gave birth to children very late. My second brother’s daughter is older than my eldest son. To this day There are three more cousins ??before they get married, so there are twelve men in my son's generation and four nieces. From a family that may not be passed on to a family with more than 60 people today, I also feel that it is easier for me to do things than my father. For the same eldest son, my parents can still feel the prestige of the family next to them, and when it comes to me, I don’t feel this situation anymore. Every year during Qingming Festival, I repeatedly emphasize to my uncles and brothers that we must not bully our neighbors at any time. God is watching what we do, so we should do our part.

My family is prosperous and moved from Lanling to Dongchangfu Tangyi County in 680. There are 20,000 people here and the population has been passed down for 27 generations. The surname Xiao is the 30th (today the child writes the zodiac:) The tombstones of our people are written Xiao: Family Genealogy (Xiao: Xiao). My first master is Wei Ziqi, and Uncle Xiao Daxin is the first master of the origin of the surname. The surname Xiao is an ancient Chinese surname with a long history, and people are scattered north and south of the Yellow River. To the east and west of the Five Mountains and Three Rivers, Shandong and Henan are the most numerous in the north, and Anhui is the largest in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong and other provinces are the distribution areas of the Xiao surname. In ancient times, it was said that after the Xiao family came out of Lanling (Shandong), people moved to Jiangsu (Jiangsu). Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture: Nanlanling for short) The surname Xiao has appeared in the Southern Qi Dynasty, several generations of emperors, and the Prime Minister Xiao He in the Han Dynasty. It has developed and prospered for thousands of years, and the Xiao family has a large number of people and many talents.
