Xie family tree and history

Xie's family tree, which was first recorded, was the Xie's Genealogy quoted by Liu Xiaobao in the Southern Dynasties when he annotated Shi Shuo Xin Yu, which was divided into Chen Junyang Xia Xie's Genealogy and Huiji Shanyin Xie's Genealogy. The former genealogy is quoted in seven places in the book, and the latter one is quoted in one place. Based on the comprehensive analysis of all the quotations, the basic contents of these two genealogies < P > include the names of Xie family members of the two ethnic groups in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, their names, names, inheritance relationships, official titles, marriage, children's marriage and so on. At that time, the society paid special attention to genealogy. Not only did the imperial court choose officials to search for genealogy, but also the society chose women and husbands based on genealogy.

in order to prevent counterfeiting, the state has also set up a genealogy bureau, and there are also families in society who specialize in compiling and studying genealogy. Therefore, Xie's earliest genealogy may have been compiled by the government according to the information provided by Xie, and the time will not exceed after the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the earliest.

Historical Records

Family Ride

Family Ride is a written record of private affairs. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the historical book of Jin State was named Cheng, and later it was called Historical Book Cheng. Huang Tingjian, a poet and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote the diary "Yizhou Family Ride", and later generations compiled a genealogy, copying the name "Family Ride", meaning the history of the family. Genealogy is a book about clans or clans' lineages, some of which are devoted to the lineages of emperors and princes, and some of which are devoted to the lineages of one surname and one clan and the deeds of important people.

The latter is also called "genealogy", "genealogy" or "family ride". During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, family status was particularly important, and the official selection of talents had to examine genealogy. Therefore, the wind of compiling genealogy prevailed. Although the imperial examination system was implemented after the Sui Dynasty, many families still compiled genealogy until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The genealogy mainly includes the origin of surnames, the spread and migration, the ancestor of branches, the lineage handed down from generation to generation, the word generation, the ancestral temple, the ancestor, the clan rules, etc. The text is orderly and unconventional.

Xie's genealogy

The Xie's genealogy quoted in Shi Shuo Xin Yu probably comes from the official genealogy at that time. As for the ten volumes of Xie's Genealogy included in Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi, it is a genealogy of another nature, that is, it may be written by Xie clan members. But unfortunately, I can't see it today.

At present, the earliest complete genealogy of Xie's family is Shi Shuo Chen Junyang Xia Xie's genealogy edited by Wang Zao in Song Dynasty according to Shi Shuo Xin Yu and historical books of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty. The whole spectrum includes four parts: pedigree table, text, other nationalities and names. There are 94 Xie people from the Three Kingdoms to Sui and Chen counties, and 4 Xie people will be recorded in the appendix.

The earliest extant publication of this genealogy is hidden in Japan, together with the Song version of Shi Shuo Xin Yu and Wang Zao's Xu Lu. In recent years, it was jointly published with Shi Shuo Xin Yu in the form of a copy of Ke Gong edition.

Historical legend

Yue Fei wrote Preface to Yue Wumu for Xie's genealogy in the Southern Song Dynasty

to look up at the astronomical phenomena, with Beichen as the pivot of the sky, and Sanyuan and Jiuyao turning around and returning, which is a metaphor for the respect of the group, without daring not to arch; Looking down at the geography, Kunlun is the town of China, and the five-embedded and eight-table peaks are connected with each other, which is like the relatives of the ancestors, and no one dares to be ignorant. This monarch and relatives are one, loyal and filial. Those who forget it are called inverse, those who leave it are called abandonment, and those who are slow are called blasphemy. Failure to quit is greater than disloyalty; The five punishments are nothing more than unfilial.

as a minister, you should do your best; When you are a man, you should be cautious and pursue the distance, but you should not be careless or careless! Today, I read Xie's genealogy, tracing back to the original surname and arresting the descendants. Ming Zhao Mu respected his ancestors, and he was born with respect for his office, and his elders with respect for his teeth, and his column was praised with respect for his thoughts. What can he do without great loyalty and filial piety? Hey! It's a shame for Xie's ancestors to ask them if they are ignorant!
