The common forms of genealogy were European, Soviet, pagoda, dispatch, modern table, etc. European style, generations are divided into grid, arranged from right to left, every five generations a picture, the left side of the name has a life record (such as words, numbers, etc.); Su style, generations are straight and drooping, there is no horizontal line connecting between generations, all are connected by lines, the chart format is arranged from right to left, emphasizing the patriarch relationship; Pagoda style, the names of generations are arranged from top to bottom like a pagoda, using the horizontal and vertical line connection method, but the family development to a certain scale has many inconveniences; In the form of archives, the relationship between generations and names was expressed purely in words. There was a brief introduction under each person's name. The lineage form was fixed, and the order was clear, saving paper. In the modern form, the family tree was arranged from left to right, and vertically according to the number of descendants, which was in line with modern reading habits. The word generation was also known as the sect language in the family tree. It was used to record the ranking of the clansmen. Especially in the feudal era, the ranking of the clan had a certain meaning.

In the compilation of genealogies, the family lineages were mostly arranged in a first-to-last manner, from generation to generation, forming an overall context from ancient times to the present. In terms of structure, there was a distinction between the general score and the branch score in the family tree. The general genealogy was the beginning of the family tree. It included the names of the generations in the family, the changes in the family history, the distribution and migration of the members, the biographies of the famous people in the family history, major historical events, the people who participated in each revision of the genealogy, the source of funds, and the use of the family members. The branch genealogy was usually formed on the basis of the general genealogy, and the lineages of various tribes or multiple tribes were compiled into a book. In terms of lineage, the descendants of the first ancestor were arranged in parallel from the oldest to the smallest. Then, the descendants of each ancestor were arranged in the same order from the oldest to the smallest, continuing layer by layer. In some large family trees, the order of each sect had different standards. If some were arranged according to the order of seniority of the house, if they did not know the order of seniority of the house, they might be arranged according to the order of the time they entered Fujian (taking the Lin family genealogy as an example), but there were also some cases where there were many standards or even chaos in the arrangement of the genealogy.
