What's a Gapou (jiapu)?
Gapou (jiapu) , also called zukpou (zupu) , is a type of Chinese genealogical record that chronicles the history,
lineages, migration and achievements of individual families and clans. It traces the male line from the lineage founder, who first settled in an area, to the current generations. The scope of a gapou (jiapu) can range anywhere from a few pages with the names of a few generations to thousands of pages with dozens and dozens of generations. The reason why a single gapou (jiapu) can span hundred and even thousands of years is because it is a continuous work in progress;
it is considered the responsibility of each generation to maintain, update, and pass down these genealogical records. These records are treated as family heirlooms, that are passed down from one generation to the next.
