The Eighteenth-Generation Successor of the Jianghu Oddball

Far, far away, people who migrated upstream from the great river to the great lakes came to be known as jianghu folk. Since the emperor had ordered their migration, they were also called those who roamed the jianghu by imperial decree. Later, the dynasty changed, and they no longer dared to obey the old emperor's decrees. The imperial edicts became diapers and wrapping cloth, and these people came to be called the jianghu bundle carriers. The story follows their eighteenth-generation descendants. "Eighteen generations of ancestors" and "eighteen generations of descendants" both sound like insults, don't they? Never mind, it's about eighteen generations, more or less.
