My family's family tree has been recorded since the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the only thing that can be related to other family trees with the same surname is that it is clearly recorded in our family tree that our branch comes from the Wang family's Sanhuaitang in Taiyuan. Among Chinese Han surnames, Wang is the largest surname in China. The total number now exceeds 100 million people. However, the branches of the Wang family genealogy are also complicated and difficult to count. The Wang family genealogy mainly has two direct lines: one is the Taiyuan Wang family, and the other is the Langya Wang family. The other sub-branches are based on these two direct lines. The Sanhuaitang Wang family is descended from the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family are both descended from the famous Qin Dynasty generals Wang Jian, Wang Ben and Wang Li three generations later. The Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family began to branch out from the Han Dynasty. Sanhuaitang appeared during the Song Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family settled in Jingsheng, Shanxi, creating the largest Wang family compound in China. The famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, was the ancestor of the Sanhuaitang Wang family's immigrants. A large number of Sanhuaitang Wang families in the Ming Dynasty immigrated from Shanxi to Shandong. Wang Changli was originally a descendant of the Langya Wang family. Due to the war, he was adopted by Wang Bi as his adopted son and later adopted as his son-in-law. Therefore, Wang Changli and his wife Wang Shisan created the Shandong Wang family genealogy sequence after they immigrated to Shandong. Through a large amount of literary and historical materials and time-travel-like dream associations, this book attempts to bring the family genealogy that was disconnected after the Ming Dynasty immigrated to Shandong, closer to the direct line of the Wang family of Sanhuaitang, that is, closer to the inherited genealogy of Wang Bi's eldest son Wang De and second son Wang Zheng. This leads to the legendary story in this book of the hereditary iron certificate elixir given to Wang Bi by the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.
