Chen family generation names book

Chinese names are normally of 3 characters, the first is the family surname, second generation name and third the name of the individual. I was told that our Chen family's generation names are based on an ancient poem/prose. Found the book containing the poem from which is derived the generation names.

For an English translation of this difficult ancient Chinese, pop over to English translation of the Chen Family generation names book.
