New progress has been made in compiling new family trees. The family trees of the Niu family in Nanyang that have been edited and published in recent years include Wanbei's "Niu Family Tree" edited by Niu Tongwen, Fangcheng County Qinghe Jiangzhuang edited by Niu Changli and Niu Changming, Hutuo's "Niu Family Tree", and Zhenping edited by Niu Yushen and Niu Zhaolei Hou Jifangying's "Niu Family Tree" and Zhenping Shifosi edited by Niu Hongxin, and Lu Yi Niuying's "Niu Family Tree". The "Niu Family Genealogy" in Tanghe, which has the largest concentration of Niu people in the country, is currently being edited, and nearly one million words of original data have been collected. Among them, the fifth volume of Niu has been revised and proofread four times and is expected to be published by the end of the year; the first draft of the third volume of Niu has more than 700 pages, and the fourth volume of Niu and other volumes are in progress; the plan of the volume of Xianzu will first be compiled into a small branch, and finally synthesized into a general Spectrum. 7. Encourage and preside over various social activities carried out by various branches. At the beginning of the year, the main leaders participated in the ancestor worship activities organized by the descendants of the 12th Prince Jing of Daniuzhuang, Sheqi County, and promoted Niu Yingshuang’s noble behavior of building the Niu family ancestral hall alone. When the project was completed, the banner was sent and the people of the Niu clan were called on to learn from Niu Yingshuang and become rich without forgetting the great filial piety of their ancestors! 8. New progress has been made in the study of the history and culture of the Niu family. The original records of the fourth generation ancestor Niu Xianming who donated food to the country and "emphasized the title of righteous people" during the Yingzong period have been discovered.

According to "Records of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 78": "(Summer and April of the sixth year of Zhengtong) there were thirty-nine people including Xu Xin, a citizen of Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, fifteen people including Niu Xian, a citizen of Nanyang Prefecture, and three people including Feng Shou, a citizen of Zhangde Prefecture. , eight people including Yuan Gang from Henan Prefecture, four people including Zhang Wenxin from Huaiqing Prefecture, and four people including Liu Jin from Runing Prefecture, all came up with thousands of stones of grain and grain to provide relief, and were given an edict to restore their homes. "And in 2016, Niubu. An epitaph unearthed from the 38th year of Wanli Dynasty (1610), the ninth generation of Niu Xingju, says: "The ancestors of his sixth generation were famine during the year of Zhengtong, and he gave out a thousand and a hundred tons of wheat to help the poor. Those who relied on Quan to survive had no money. After hearing the incident, the edict "The meaning of Jing." The two records are completely consistent. In short, we did some work in 2018 and achieved certain achievements, but there is still a big gap between the expectations and requirements of our Niu clan members. Key points of work in 2019: 1. Abandon arguments and strengthen unity; all descendants of Liang ancestors in Nanyang should maintain the same generation order that has been passed down for hundreds of years. That is, the current generation order cannot be artificially lowered no matter when or where. It is normal and reasonable to allow different understandings of current historical records. We must not label or beat each other with sticks just because we have different understandings, or even become two irreconcilable factions. Doing this can only make relatives angry and enemies happy, and it can only affect our tribe's normal activities of respecting and loving our ancestors. Therefore, we advocate putting aside disputes and doing what we need to do right now. More clues may be found about historical events in the future, and they will be gradually clarified. Don't try to distinguish right from wrong now. 2. Continue to compile family trees for each branch and village. At present, our Nanyang family has compiled many different versions of family trees due to the joint efforts of all family members, which has set a good example for us. This year, the Shunzu Wumen Family Tree and the Xian Family Phoenix Tree Family Tree are expected to be published. Since compiling large-scale family trees requires a lot of human and financial resources, we advocate compiling family trees nearby in a small area first, and then gathering less to make more. Small becomes big.

3. Use the platform built by the research association to help each other and walk the road of mutual prosperity. But 4. The focus is to complete the second phase of the Tanghe first and second ancestor tombs, repair roads, replant trees, do a good job in greening the tomb, improve the taste of the tomb, and make the cemetery into a place for Niu family members to worship their ancestors, and to pay tribute to the Niu family. It is a holy place for the family to carry out traditional cultural education. This year, we initially plan to move the grave of the ninth generation ancestor Xingju to Niugou so that he can reunite with his father and brother as soon as possible. It can also be regarded as a useful activity for us as future generations to respect and love our ancestors. 5. Actively participate in various activities carried out by Niu clan members across the country to respect and love their ancestors, strengthen horizontal connections, and fully reflect the good tradition and good style of the Niu family across the country. Make use of the platform established by the research association and the convenience of modern communications to unite with Niu family members across the country to jointly do a good job in the cause of our Niu family. In short, this year we must give full play to our hearts and make real contributions to respecting and loving our ancestors, setting an example for future generations, and comforting the spirits of our ancestors in heaven.
