Preface to the Genealogy of the Liu Family in Rizhao Caojian in the 48th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty
(Copied from the Liu Lu Branch Genealogy in Liusanzhuang Town, Caojian)
"Li Yun, all things are based on heaven, and people are based on ancestors, that is to say, remember and never forget. I, the Liu family, have a long history since I was born in Ju during the Han Dynasty. "Wen Xin" annotated by Ren Yanhe Gong of Liang Dynasty Dongguan in the Ming Dynasty. The governor of the Yuan Dynasty, Qian Wengong, served as an official in his hometown. Because of the Yuanshe general house, my ancestor saw an opportunity and moved to Daliujia Village, Dangshan County, Xuzhou Prefecture. When the Red Turban Rebellion broke out, my ancestor fled to Danglu Village, Donghai. In the third year of Hongwu in the Xi Dynasty, an order was issued to relocate the people, and my ancestor returned to Donghai. Moved to Rizhao Xiquewo. During the Tianshun period, the village was destroyed by fire. Although there is a Yuan monument in Da Shiyang, there is also a Yuan monument in Xiaoyishui, but the writing is unclear and the name is unclear. If we want to trace the origin, we can only remember that during the Chenghua period, my great-uncle Chengyuan moved to Anqiu, followed Yuan to move to Qiuqian, and forced Yuan to move to Jutai. There are eight brothers, Shou, Xi, Shi, Shu, Zhong and Hou. I and Beizhijun compiled the genealogy and concluded that Siyuan is the ancestor and the ancestors of Fu and Lu are the third generation. Although, the ancestors of Xi still live in their hometown, Rufu. The second ancestor, Lu, moved to Da Liujiagou. Zufu also moved to Zhucheng Panggezhuang with his third son Henggong, Shizu lived in Zhuzhouzhuang, and Shuzu lived in Xiliujiazhuang. In the ditch, Zhongzu moved to Quan Liuji in Lanshan, Houzu moved to Liujiadian in Yishui, and branched out to Buqianzhuang. The second ancestor of our second branch, Yuzhong Yulin Ergong, moved to the east of Liujiagou, and Zhishunzu moved to Dapozhuang. After Yaozu moved to Xiaoyishui, it branched into Caiyuan, Chetuan, Xiaohe, Zhuliu, Gehu, and Guanshuai Beidian villages. In the fourth generation, our ancestors from Hehai Qiquan moved to Liujiazhuang, Zhujiamiaozi, branch chatou, and The villages in Dongshangzhuang and Huayatou, Qianmaweiyao, Jishan, Chegou, Kushan, Liujiadongshan, Shiziyuan and Liujiacun are all tribes of Xizu, but Uncle Hui's branch moved to (?) Shanhe After Qi Yuanzhuang, he moved to Ju. He waited until the place of relocation was found out and entered the genealogy at any time. If he did not compile the genealogy, if he delayed for a long time and delayed for a long time, the years would be lost and the generations would be far away. It is bound to make relatives estranged, and the near will breed far away. The family was regarded as a passerby, and Liang Ke mourned this. I thought about this, and divided the branches into villages and counties to write down the heads. Then the genealogy of the whole family would be compiled at this time. Because of this, we have to cultivate together and have high hopes. This is the prelude.
On September 9, the forty-eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the fifth generation, Sun Sui Gongzi Xiao Jinzhi
