Are you the 18th generation of your ancestors?

The ancestors of the eighteenth generation refer to the clan members of the upper and lower nine generations, and they are called as follows:

The ascending order is: father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, heavenly ancestor, fierce ancestor, great-grandfather, distant ancestor and originator.

In descending order: son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson, lai grandson, Xi grandson, Shang grandson, Yun grandson and second grandson.

I am the watershed between the last nine generations and the next nine generations, and I am not among the "eighteen generations of ancestors".

In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the symbols+and = ancestor mean father of father. Major+indications = sects, and sects represent major indications.

Erya: "The son of great-grandson is great-grandson, the son of great-grandson is great-grandson, and the son of great-grandson is great-grandson." Counting from myself is for eight leaves, just like Kim said. Again, the ears are almost the same, and the number one is also covered. "Press" the thunder. Ear: "Sun is the son and second grandson." Later, "Ersun" generally refers to distant descendants.
