中国古代的宗族世系可分为大宗世系和小宗世系两大类型。与两种世系类型相应的,有大宗谱法和小宗谱法两种不同的谱牒记录形式。日本古代的谱学传统相当悠久,却没有产生中国式的大宗世系及相应的大宗谱法;虽然也有“同族”概念,但无论在原则上还是在实践中,都没有中国宗族制度对小宗世系“五世则迁”的范围限定。就整体而言,日本的“宗”“族”制度与中国的类似制度之间存在着根本的区别。 The clan lineages in ancient China can be divided into two major types: the major lineages and the minor lineages. Corresponding to the two lineage types, there are two different genealogical record forms: large genealogy and small genealogy. In ancient Japan, the genealogical tradition was quite long, but it did not produce the Chinese-style monasteries and the corresponding genealogy. Although there was also the notion of “same family,” neither the principle of the Chinese clan system was small Department of the lineage “” V “is moved to” the scope of the limited. On the whole, there is a fundamental difference between the Japanese “zong ” “ethnic ” system and the similar system in China.
