The Lineage Society in Weilong House

There is a mighty stream called the Qingjiang River in the lofty and precipitous mountains of northeastern Guangdong province. It converges with another stream, the Dadu River, near Wenkui town, Wuhua county. At the confluence, there is a stretch of plain in the valley. At its border is a hill in the shape of a boat. There is a single-surname village on the hill called Wanwuzhai. We did field work several times here from the summer of 1995 to the winter of 1997, and are familiar with the history of the Wan lineage, its present condition, and its relationship with neighboring lineages. This article is an attempt to understand the lineages of the Hakka ethnic group of Guangdong in modern times through the study of the Wan lineage
