The preface of the Marxist genealogy is as follows
It is a happy and peaceful day, when the government is harmonious and the people are harmonious, it is a prosperous time. After long-term investigation and verification, under the leadership of the 17th generation grandson Ma Xingwen, the clan leader, we have decided to rebuild our Ma family tree. It is common sense in the world that a country has its history, its county has its ambitions, and its family has its genealogy. In search of the roots, my 20th generation grandson, Ma Xin, and six other people braved hardships and traveled across mountains and rivers, to Hongdong and Qingzhou, to conduct careful visits and observe the situation on the spot. The hometown of my Ma family is Majia Datun, Hongdong County, Shanxi Province.
My Ma family, whose surname is Ying, is a descendant of Boyi (the leader of the Dongyi tribe at the time of Shun). He helped Yu control the floods. Yu gave up the throne to Yi Buqi, who took refuge in the north of Qishan Mountain. In the second year, Feihou Boyi went abroad, and in the sixth year, Boyi died. Originally, during the Warring States Period (298 BC), Emperor Huiwen of the State of Zhao named his son Zhao She the Lord of Ma Fu. Later, his descendants took the surname of Ma, and our Ma family originated from here (note on page 14 of Hundred Family Surnames).

Ma Chao, the seventh-generation descendant of the Three Kingdoms Dingxi general, lived in Maoling, Fufeng County (today's Xingping County, Shaanxi Province). He was born in 176 AD.

He was later named the Five Tiger General, and his descendants moved to Ximajiatun, Hongdong County, Shanxi Province in the Song Dynasty.

In 1373 AD (the 6th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty), they moved from Shanxi to Qingzhou under the order of Emperor Hongwu. Listening to the loyal advice of the ministers, he formulated policies to enrich the people, relocated the people, opened up wasteland, built fortresses, protected the borders, and promoted the people. He moved eastward eighteen times and spread over 18 provinces and cities and more than 500 counties and cities, including 92 counties and cities in Shandong. My second uncle was among the sixty households that first moved. Only my family, the Ma family, moved to the north of Yunmen Mountain in Qingzhou, Shandong Province. The village was named Majiazhuang. Degong and Feixing ancestors had large families and lived in harmony with each other. Degong also He is also good at medicine, has extensive medical ethics, good treatment and diagnosis, and is known as Saihua Tuo from far and near. Taking the Zhou family as his wife, he gave birth to three sons, Yu, Pu and Chi. Feixingzu was well-known in academic circles and had great talents and great ideas, so he was promoted to the important post of magistrate. His first wife, Zhang, gave birth to four sons. Shenbao lived in Kaizhou (Puyang), Zhibao lived in Puzhou (Juancheng County), Guibao lived in Caozhou (Heze City), and Tongbao lived. Xuzhou (Pei County).

After a few years, he accepted the Gan family and gave birth to a son named Ji, who lived in Anlingji, Caozhou.
When my grandmother Zhang was in Qingzhou, due to a quarrel between her sisters, she led her four sons back west. When they reached the border of Kaizhou, they met Xu Da, the conquering general, and Hu Dahai and Li Wenzhong led 250,000 troops. , wiped out Tiemu'er (there is a legend that Li Wenzhong killed Dazi and looked south to the Beidou), and the way to the west was blocked, so he settled in Maji, 90 miles southeast of Kaizhou, and Zhang's grandmother was buried here.
My Sanmen Guibao Gong moved to Wuli Mazhuang northwest of Baihuji in Caozhou in the 15th year of Hongwu (1382). After the death of the immortal, he and Mrs. Jiao were buried here. They gave birth to eight sons. The fifth son, Jungong, was the ancestor of the ancestor. The third son, Junling, moved to Ma Street, the city of Juye County in the 6th year of Yongle (1408). The fourth son Junli moved to Nanbaima Temple in Jiaxiang County in the 14th year of Yongle (1416). The second son Shilong, the sixth son Yanzhong, and the seventh son Yanliang moved to Machangzhai in the 2nd year of Yongle. The eldest son Rang and the eighth son Yanqing moved to the 2nd year of Yongle. Yuma Village.

The tomb was surrounded by pines, green cypresses, and strange mountains and rocks. , surrounding it, the peaks rise and fall like giant dragons, stretching endlessly, the auspicious clouds cover the top, and the purple air rises horizontally. It is a geomantic treasure place for my ancestors to rest in peace.
The following year, the three Yuzu brothers wanted to return to their original place and walked to the east side of Jinshan Fort, thirty-five miles southeast of Juye. They saw the beautiful mountains and clear waters, lush pines and cypresses, auspicious clouds, purple air in the sky, and fertile soil. When Anzhuang was employed, the village was named Mafeng Daolong Village, and then named Ma Village in the following years.
Tracing ancestors and remembering the merits of their ancestors, showing the respect of their descendants, all the descendants of the Ma family are eager to compile genealogies. They trace their origins and miss their ancestors but cannot govern themselves.
At the suggestion of the clan leader Ma Xingwen, all the clans are negotiating and will decide on the matter of revising the family tree this spring at Mazhuang, Susha Temple on the ninth day of the first lunar month in the spring of Ren year. Ma Fanhe, the descendant of the descendant, focused on the personnel funds for the revision of the genealogy, moved the ancestral grave and erected tombstones, and decided to hold a swearing-in meeting for the revision of the genealogy in Mashan Village on the 30th.

★The prefaces of each family tree are different. This preface is taken from the prefaces of the Ma family trees in Jining and Heze areas. Other branches and branches have nothing to do with this preface. I hope that all the Ma family members who modified the entry will not modify it at will. Some of the words used in the preface may be slightly different from the current ones. I have little knowledge and can only copy them, just to record the facts in the most authentic way. ★
