How many family trees are there with the surname Sun?

According to historical research, the current descendants of the Sun family are from Hongtong, Shanxi. The ancestors of the Sun family and the ancestors of other surnames were forced by Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang’s brutality to leave the land they had relied on for countless years. I came to Shandong, Henan and other places that were washed away by blood and took root.

To this day, there are still old people who recall their distant ancestors and tell the descendants of the clan with emotion that we came from under an old locust tree. (The same is true for other surnames. At least the ancestors of Liu and Qi also came from under the big locust tree)

It can be said that in the early Ming Dynasty, all surnames were relatively pure and there were no messy side branches. . However, with the changes of dynasties, some descendants of the Sun family lost their genealogy, and many other surnames saw that the Sun family was very authoritative, so they changed their original surnames, hoping that they could blend into the Sun family and enjoy the treatment of the Sun family. However, the ancestors of the Sun family probably resisted and restrained those who changed their surnames and mixed in. The first thing was that they could not continue according to the authentic Sun family's genealogy.

Therefore, many people with the surname Sun often do not survive for several generations.

In fact, for a family with a history of thousands of years, no matter how the times change or how miserable it is, it is impossible to completely erase a family with a long history. After all, the Sun family has never been massacred in history, but many of the Li family, Wang family, Zhao family, etc. were killed.

So, those who don’t have a complete genealogy, except for the ancestors who forgot the genealogy in confusion, are those who changed their surname to Sun halfway.

The authentic seniority of the Sun family should be twelve generations, corresponding to the months of the year. The completion of twelve months is one year. For the Sun family, the completion of twelve generations is one life. Then start again from the beginning, and pass it on forever. (The current history of the Sun family is the 17th generation, and I am the fifth generation of the 17th generation.) If one life is calculated as one hundred years, the history of the Sun family should be more than 1,700 years old. It is not very accurate because the life span of ancient people was shorter than today.

The seniority of the Sun family is sorted as follows:

1, Tan 2, Wei 3, Ying 4, Ji

5, Zhao 6, Qi 7, Feng 8, Ning

9, Yong 10, Zheng 11, Fang 12, Cheng
