Chapter 226 Acknowledging the ancestors and returning to the relatives
"Loyalty and integrity extend the distance, and peace and happiness have the light."
Feng Quan ignored the middle-aged grandfather’s questions and continued. The middle-aged grandfather was shocked, darn! Who is this? Are you so familiar with your own family tree?
Feng Quan continued: "My Feng tribe has many people. In order to prevent the family lineage from being wrong, the names are related to each other, and the emperor is violated. In the 23rd year of the Republic of China and 1934 AD, the tribes of Hongdong, Qingzhou, Juye and Jiaxiang gathered together to continue the chapter. They planned to publicly agree to rank sixty words of travel so that our tribe can protect it together. Do you know about this?"
Feng Quan even knew about this, and he almost dislocated the old man's chin. He continued to be stunned, dumbfounded, his big mouth opened, and he could almost swallow a big egg.
"Grandpa, why don't you let me enter the house?"
The old man didn't have time to ask in detail, and quickly said, "Boss, no, no, did you call me grandpa just now? I don't know if you call you Shenma. Young man, come in quickly!"
Following the old man, Feng Quan walked into a very representative local house during the Republic of China. After Feng Quan sat down, the old lady brought the tea. Feng Quan hurriedly took it respectfully. Seeing this, the old man became even more strange. It was obvious that it was the younger generation's attitude towards the elders.
"Young man, you said you came to my house to look for relatives. Is this a swelling thing? Do I remember that you are a tribe member?"
Feng Quan did not answer this question first, but asked: "Grandpa, do you know where our ancestors came from?"
"Haha, ask where my ancestors came from? The big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi is of course the old locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi! Who doesn't know this, haha."
In fact, in most parts of the North China Plain today, there is a legend about the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi. The content of this legend is: our ancestors moved from the big locust tree in Shanxi; the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi is the birthplace of our ancestors and our roots.
This legend is distributed in most places in the central and southern parts of Hebei today, eastern and eastern Shandong, central and southern parts, central and northern Henan, and north of the Huai River in Anhui. In these areas, the big locust tree has evolved into a crow's nest - the old crow's nest on the tall big locust tree. The big locust tree is not only a word of mouth, but also engraved on many ancient tombstones and written in many crispy yellow genealogies.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the population of Shandong was comparable to that of Shanxi, but the land area was much larger than that of Shanxi. However, due to the wars and famines at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang launched the Northern Expedition and the "Jingnan Battle" two and two wars.
Especially during the Jingnan Campaign, the Shandong military and civilians resisted the Yan army the most tenacious. They defeated Zhu Di several times in Shandong, and the people spontaneously resisted the Yan army. After the victory of the Yan King, they retaliated and brutally massacred the people in Shandong, so that the prosperous Shandong region "was exposed in the wild, and no chicken crowed thousands of miles away." Therefore, the Shandong region was a key arrangement area for Shanxi immigration, and the immigrants to Shandong were also mostly during the Hongwu and Yongle periods.
There is a story about "Red Ropes to Disperse" and the origin of the word "Xiezhe". In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to restore the economy of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang had to migrate from areas that had not been war-torn to Henan and Shandong. The most important thing was to migrate from Shanxi. Before and after, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a 50-year immigration policy and regarded Shanxi Hongdong as a key area for immigration.
Because at that time, the people had no banks and no deposits, and the most important property of the people was their own houses and land. If they wanted them to leave, it would mean that they had deprived all their personal property, so no one was willing to leave.
So the government forced the people who needed to be relocated and tied them up with ropes. If anyone needed convenience, he shouted to the administrator in charge of escort: "Unlock my hand!" Later, in order to save trouble, he directly called "Unlock the hand". In this way, a new term was invented - "Unlock the hand", which actually did not exist in books before the Ming Dynasty.
Groups of ordinary people took their families and passed by a must-pass intersection in Shanxi in difficult times. Because there was a big locust tree at this intersection, the older ones told the younger ones, "Remember this big locust tree, you will be home when you get back here!" This is the legend of the big locust tree.
"Grandpa, when the Qing Dynasty compiled the Twenty-Four Histories, he had made extensive modifications to historical materials since the Jin Dynasty, and some family tree and other things were lost. As far as I know, a branch of Juye in Heze includes nearly 30 counties including Chengwu, Shanxian, Wenshang, Peixian, Fengxian in Jiangsu, etc., hundreds of thousands of tribesmen, immigrants from Hongdong, Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty. There is also a branch of immigrants from Hongdong, Shanxi in Liangshan, which also came from Hongdong County, Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty. Our Jiaxiang branch was a little different. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the tribesmen are now scattered in some surrounding counties and cities. As for the relationship between Qingzhou and Hongdong, I have not yet verified it, and it is probably also from Hongdong."
After hearing this, the old man lowered his head and pondered for a while, and slowly said, "Yes, we moved here from another place."
The cultural celebrity Feng Yu, whose ancestral home is Panyang Village, Linqu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. Feng Yu's life can be roughly divided into three stages: studying, becoming an official, and living in his hometown. Feng Yu's main activities before the age of 30 were studying and seeking officialdom.
He passed the imperial examination in 1504, passed the imperial examination in 1508, and passed the imperial examination in 1508. After Feng Yuzhong was appointed as the magistrate of Songjiang County, Shanghai, and later transferred to Xiao County, Anhui. In 1511, he was promoted to the magistrate of Jin County, Hebei Province, and was transferred to Nanjing Ministry of Revenue in 1515. In the sixth year of Jiajing and 15th year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the magistrate of Pingjing, Gansu, and in the seventh year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the magistrate of Shigang, Guizhou, and in the 12th year of Jiajing and 1533, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Guizhou Censorate.
A year later, in the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Feng Yu was 58 years old and reached the age of retiring. Feng Yu retired and settled in Qingzhou, mainly for studying and studying and singing with poets. The second year after he returned, he established the "Haidai Poetry Society". The poems of singing were compiled into 12 volumes of "Haidai Collection" by Feng Qi, the fourth generation grandson of Feng Yu, and this collection was included in the "Siku Quanshu".
The 24th year of Jiajing was June 24, 1545. Feng Yu died of illness in Qingzhou when he was 67 years old. He was buried at the foot of Yaowang Mountain in the northwest of Qingzhou City. This is the famous Feng family's ancestral tomb. The Feng family's ancestral tomb is a turtle-foot land, which belongs to an extremely precious dragon's cave. The turtle, also known as Baxia, is a turtle-foot, and is a turtle-foot. He looks like a turtle and is the sixth son of a dragon. He has always loved to carry heavy loads and has great strength. The turtle under the monument is his portrait. The turtle has a symbol of monument and a symbol of longevity.
Feng's ancestral tomb is based on Yaowang Mountain as the Houle Xuanwu and Beiyang River as the Zhuque. It turned out that there were two small rivers around Yaowang Mountain surrounding the ancestral tomb. However, now, the river has dried up into a large earth ditch, and fruit trees are planted in the ditch. Therefore, the dragon and tiger in the cave are not obvious, and if there are fewer ones, it may be the origin of the name of the Dragon and Tiger Reservoir.
Feng Yu was the ancestor of the Feng family of Linqu. His literary name and political reputation have a great influence on future generations. The Feng family has thus formed a family tradition of diligence, integrity and integrity as an official. The ancestors set an example and their descendants actively imitated it. The Feng family gradually developed in this patriarchal inheritance. The Feng Shui of the Feng family’s ancestral tomb condensed the patriarchal inheritance, and the Feng family’s cultural inheritance energy is unparalleled.
During Feng Yu's lifetime, in addition to being a healthy, virgin, virgin, and virgin, and virgin, the four sons of Wei Na had already become talented, there were many grandchildren. Later, Wei Chong's son, Zilu, who became a Jinshi, grew up, and the core of the Feng family was thus formed. With the help of environments such as ancestral tombs, Feng Yu's Confucian style was passed down very effectively. The Feng family paid attention to the inspiration and influence of its own role models and personality power. The Feng family was also full of the family style of hard work, honest and honest as an official.
In his later years, Feng Yu not only sang poems with his friends, but mainly studied and taught at home. Because he was honest and honest, his family was barely slack and was short of money. The "Guangxu Lin County Chronicles" said that he: "The official account is too low and cannot be self-sufficient." Fortunately, his eldest son, Wei Jian, was good at managing the family and was good at managing, so Feng Yu was able to have enough food and clothing.
In addition, Wei Chong and Wei Min, Wei Ne's three sons passed the imperial examination one after another. Wei Chong, Wei Ne was in the 17th year of Jiajing and the 1538 Jinshi and his younger brother. The success of his descendants made Feng Yu feel extremely relieved. Unfortunately, his second son Wei Chongke died in Hefei City in the 18th year of Jiajing and 1539. His younger son Wei Zhi died of illness in his family the following year. He died of two sons in his old age, which made Feng Yu extremely sad in his later years. The glory of being an official for half a lifetime and the leisure of living in seclusion in the countryside is often intertwined with the troubles of poverty and the grief of losing his son. In this complex state of mind, on the 24th year of Jiajing and June 24th, 1545, he died of illness in Qingzhou when he was 67 years old. He was buried at the foot of Yaowang Mountain in the northwest of Qingzhou City. Since Feng Yu, the Feng family's ancestral tomb began to be established in this Feng Shui treasure land.
From Feng Yu to Feng Xieyi in the seventh generation, there were a total of famous Juren and 12 Jinshis. As a family, there were so many officials and so many academic achievements, which were rare. The Yi Zongfa family of the Feng family pursued Confucian classic cultural education as a link, while the Feng Shui of the Feng family’s ancestral tomb condensed the patriarchal inheritance, making the Feng family’s cultural inheritance unparalleled. Today, one of the Feng family continues to live in Changqiu Village, Miaozi Town, Qingzhou City.
This was the first time that the old man heard that his ancestors had such glory. He was surprised and even more curious about Feng Quan, "Young man, where are the people in your family?"
When he heard the old man ask this question, Feng Quan, who thought of his time traveling, never seeing his parents again, and when he thought of his kind parents, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and tears were flying again and again with sadness.
Seeing this scene, County Mayor Zhang and Shi Bao, who were a little embarrassed, made up a reason, took a leave first, and went to the village office. The 12 friends he brought this time filled the courtyard, and suddenly remembered the little friends. In fact, Feng Quan's grandfather and his brothers were three. When Mrs. Feng Quan saw Feng Quan crying so sadly, she was also quite compassionate to her feet. She rubbed her wet corners and handed Feng Quan a coarse towel.
Feng Quan took the coarse cloth towel, wiped his tears, and thrust his knees on the ground with tears in his eyes. He said excitedly: "Grandpa, grandma, count the number of generations. Our family also moved from Qingzhou to Jiaxiang. Later, our family traveled across the ocean and arrived in Citiland. Later, it was not easy to get along. If you were not familiar with the land, you would take a boat to return to China.
