家谱

As u all know, I just came back from China... For these 9 days, we went to 厦门，潮州，汕头 and 海南岛. For the last few days, we stayed at 海南岛 where my relatives are. These relatives are actually my cousins 堂哥，堂姐, nephews and even a grandson (my cousin's grandson)... So actually they are quite close to me...

My 堂哥 gave me our 家谱. In case u dunno, this 家谱 is a poem which help us differentiate our generation. Because one generation after the next will adopt the next word in the poem. I shall post my 家谱 up here.

积箕硕文
善裘德明
有恒家崇
馀济基圣
庆美石道

The poem is to be read from right to left, top to bottom.
For my generation, its 明(they unified all 罗 clan, so therefore my 长 has being changed to 明)... My son will be 崇... So his name will be 罗崇_, his son will be 罗圣_, so on and so forth...

There is another poem after this one...

宗兰英智
风桂才勇
世竞国冠
代腾栋南
扬芳梁邦

These 2 peoms will be enough to last for a few hundreds of years... I think I will bw long dead before they reached 道 of the first poem...

My roots...

Interesting eh...
