Reading note: The current source flattens this chart into successive records. The translation keeps all surviving numbers, names, line marks, missing-item labels, and Self/Response markers in their existing order. It does not infer new column boundaries or restore missing values. The abbreviated relation names Parents, Brothers, Descendants, Wealth, and Officer follow the chart's own abbreviations. Branch forms 戍/戌 are read as Xu from their context.
