The cultural customs of compiling genealogy for 5,000 years are an integral part of the Chinese civilization.During the new socialist era,compiling new genealogy is a continuation and development of old genealogy,a cultural phenomenon adapting to social and public needs.The paper examines how Chinese genealogies transformed,and then explores how new genealogies have the new cultural function of serving the socialist era.The paper concludes with comments on how new compilations play a positive role in the construction of a harmonious society.
