The origin of the Wang family genealogy of the Eighteen Households

The Wang family of the Eighteenth Household originated from the Langya Wang family. They are the direct descendants of Prince Jin and are the true descendants of Yan and Huang.

Of course, there are still the following disputes:

First, when and why the ancestors migrated to this place.

The second is when the village was built (for details, see the article: Analysis of the evolution of village names and affiliations), and how the name of the village Zhihuatun and the Eighteen Households evolved.

The third is, Why did our ancestors acquire such a large area of ??land? Are the surrounding villages our ancestors' tenants?

The fourth is the misinformation about why grandma established her ancestors, and that Daoheng passed the imperial examination and returned to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors.

It is really not easy to verify the above questions clearly. So I started to search within the clan, collecting and sorting out the things that my predecessors knew. Then I looked up the county annals and based on the routes my ancestors walked, I started from Jinan, Tai'an, Wuding, Weifang, Hejian, Xingji, Qingxian and Jinghai in Shandong. In other places, we collected all the Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Republic of China, and modern times in chronological order, and studied them while searching. At the same time, we carried out external exchanges and contacted surrounding Wang surnames. Domestic Wang cultural research institutions purchased genealogy books, then contacted the county offices in various regions, and drove to Baima Village in Shandong for on-site inspection. Finally, a website was built to search on the Internet, collecting Ming history to inquire about the time, location, official positions, folk customs, etc. of immigrants in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, three years have passed unknowingly, and I have deeply experienced that finding one's roots and ancestors is not an easy task. Only by combining national history, local chronicles, and genealogy for verification can we draw the correct conclusion. I took this opportunity to compile all the information I collected and recorded it in the genealogy for future generations to search for. I compiled more information to let the tribesmen understand the family history, so as to avoid wasting speculation and doubts about the recurrence.
