后記

1. 宣公一派，今江西、四川、福建、廣東、湖南、臺灣、香港、華南一帶。

1. The line of Xuan gong is today spread across Jiangxi, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and south China.

2. 富于開拓的精神的吳姓后人，在數千年歷史變遷中經歷了無數的戰亂，天災和惡劣的地理環境等方面的考驗，頑強地生存下來，他們的足跡已遍及全世界各地，還有不少人走向我國鄰邦如朝鮮、日本、越南、泰國、馬來西亞、印尼、菲律賓及世界各地。

2. Rich in pioneering spirit, the descendants of the Wu have survived countless wars, natural disasters and harsh environments through thousands of years of historical change. Their footprints cover the whole world; many have gone to neighbouring lands such as Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and to every part of the globe.

3. 泰伯71世孫宣公字機蔡（公元874－950年）發揚泰伯開拓精神，不顧自己是63歲高齡的老人，拋棄駙馬爺的安樂窩，毅然率領全家人從四川千里迢迢跋山涉水來到江西、南平、臨川、開基創業，后人有詩贊宣公：「不膺王爵孟家封，跋涉云山幾萬重，來向江南為始祖，后人（兒孫）千古仰高風。」

3. Xuan gong, styled Jicai (AD 874-950), Taibo's seventy-first-generation descendant, carried forward Taibo's pioneering spirit. Heedless that he was an old man of 63, he abandoned the comfortable nest of an imperial son-in-law and resolutely led his whole family from Sichuan across a thousand miles of mountains and rivers to Jiangxi, Nanping and Linchuan to found a new home. Later generations praised him in verse: 'He would not wear the royal title the Meng house conferred; he trekked through cloud and mountain, ten thousand folds deep; he came to Jiangnan and became our founding ancestor; for a thousand ages those after him look up to his lofty spirit.'
