It is the Chinese tradition to record family members in a book,including every male born in the family,who they are married to,etc. Traditionally,only males' names are recorded in the books.
During the Cultural Revolution,many of the books were destroyed,because they were considered by the Chinese Communist Party as among the Four Olds which should be obliterated or broken. Therefore,numerous valuable cultural history was destroyed forever. In Taiwan,Hong Kong,and areas untouched by the revolution,many Chinese people still kept their genealogy books,some of which are thousands of years old. According to Guinness World Records,the oldest genealogy book is that of the Confucius family.

In Korea the genealogy book is called jokbo or chokbo. The book is passed down through generations,and copies are often printed and distributed among family members as necessary. The firstborn son of each family (in a form of primogeniture) inherits the original jokbo (as opposed to the copies) and continues the genealogy and family line. It was often used in pre-modern (i.e.,post-Joseon period) Korea as proof of being of the yangban class,since family names were conferred only to the aristocratic class until late Joseon dynasty. Many of these genealogy books date back to the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) but few families retain complete copies due to the wars,uprisings,and the Japanese Occupation that took place in recent history.
While many clans still maintain a jokbo,its function (which was very important,heavily relied upon,and legally binding before the modern era) is largely relegated to clan record-keeping and other minor (i.e.,not legally binding) social roles.
