Temporary workers in the war

"Loyalty extends Zeyuan, peace and happiness lasts a long time."

Feng Quan ignored the middle-aged grandfather's question and continued.The middle-aged grandpa was stunned, what the hell!Who is this, why is he so familiar with his family tree?

Feng Quan continued: "My Feng family has a large number of people. In order to prevent mistakes in the lineage, names and taboos, and offending the elders, the Hongdong, Qingzhou, Juye, and Jiaxiang branch meetings will be held in the 23rd year of the Republic of China and 1934 AD. Collecting the continuation spectrum of Fenglou Village in Juye County. It is planned to publicly discuss the sixty-six members of the senior generation, so that my clan can guard it together, does the grandfather know about this?"

Feng Quan even knew about this, and he almost dislocated his grandfather's jaw. He continued to stare in astonishment, his mouth wide open, and he could almost swallow a big egg.

"Grandpa, why don't you let me in the house?"

The old man didn't have time to ask, so he quickly said: "Boss, no, no, didn't you call my old man, I don't know what to call you, young man, come in quickly!"

Following the grandfather, Feng Quan walked into the typical earthen house in the Republic of China. After Feng Quan sat down, the old grandmother brought tea, and Feng Quan quickly took it respectfully.Seeing this, the old man became even more strange. Is it obviously the attitude of the younger generation towards the elders?

"Young man, you said you came to my house to look for relatives. What's going on? Why don't I remember you as a member of the clan?"

Feng Quan didn't answer this question first, but asked: "Grandpa, do you know where our ancestors came from?"

"Hehe, ask me where my ancestors came from? The big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi, of course, is the old raven's nest of the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi! Who doesn't know this, haha."

In fact, in most parts of the North China Plain today, there are legends about the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi.The content of this legend is: Our ancestors moved from under the big locust tree in Shanxi; the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi is the birthplace of our ancestors and our root.

This legend is distributed in today's central and southern Hebei, western, central and southern Shandong, central and northern Henan, and most places north of the Huaihe River in Anhui.In these areas, the big locust tree has evolved into the old crow's nest—that is, the old crow's nest on the tall big locust tree.The big locust tree is not only passed on by word of mouth, it is also engraved on many ancient tombstones and written in many crisp yellow family trees.

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, and Zhu Yuanzhang launched the Northern Expedition, the "Battle of Jingnan" these two wars.

Especially in the battle of Jingnan, the soldiers and civilians in Shandong resisted the Yan army most tenaciously. The Yan army that defeated Zhu Di several times was in Shandong, and the people also spontaneously resisted the Yan army.After the victory of King Yan, he retaliated and brutally massacred the people of Shandong, so that the prosperous Shandong area "exposed bones to the wild, and there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles".Therefore, the Shandong area is the key area for immigrants from Shanxi, and most of the immigrants to Shandong were during the Hongwu and Yongle years.

There is a story of "scattering with a red rope" and the origin of the word Jieshou.At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to restore the economy of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to migrate the population from areas that had not been war-torn to Henan and Shandong, the most important thing was to migrate from Shanxi.Back and forth, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented an immigration policy that lasted 50 years, and took Hongdong, Shanxi as a key area for immigration.

Because at that time, ordinary people had no banks, let alone deposits, and the most important property of ordinary people was their houses and land.If they want to leave, it means depriving them of all their property, so no one wants to go.

So the government forced the people who needed to be relocated to be tied up with ropes.Anyone who needs convenience shouts to the escort in charge: "Untie my hands!" Later, to save trouble, he directly shouts "Untie my hands".In this way, a new term was invented - "jieshou", which actually did not exist in books before the Ming Dynasty.

Crowds of ordinary people dragged their families with them, passing through a necessary intersection in Shanxi one by one with difficulty.Because there is a big locust tree at this intersection, the older ones told the younger ones, "Remember this big locust tree, you will be home soon when you come back here!" This is where the legend of the big locust tree comes from.

"Grandfather, when the Manchu Qing compiled the history of the 24th, the historical materials since the Jin Dynasty were revised a lot, and some genealogies were lost. As far as I know, the Juye Branch of Heze includes Chengwu, Shanxian, Wen On the other hand, there are nearly [-] counties in Jiangsu, such as Pei County and Feng County, with hundreds of thousands of ethnic groups. They immigrated from Hongdong County, Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty. There is another group in Liangshan that also immigrated from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province in the early Ming Dynasty. Our Jiaxiang branch is a little different. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, they moved from Qingzhou, and the clansmen now live scattered in some surrounding counties and cities. As for the relationship between Qingzhou and Hongdong, I haven’t verified it yet, and it may also come from Hongdong.”

After hearing this, the old man bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said slowly, "Yes, we moved here from another place."

Cultural celebrity Feng Yu, whose ancestral home is Panyang Village, Linqu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong.Feng Yu's life can be roughly divided into three stages: studying and becoming an official, being an official in the north and south, and living in his hometown.Feng Yu's main activities before the age of 30 were studying and seeking an official position.

In 1504, he was elected in the middle school, and in 1508, he was promoted to Jinshi. After Feng Yuzhong became a Jinshi, he first served as the county magistrate of Songjiang County, Shanghai, and then transferred to Xiaoxian County, Anhui. In 1511, he was promoted to the magistrate of Jinxian County, Hebei Province. In 1515, he moved to Nanjing, a member of the household department, Wailang. In the sixth year of Jiajing and 15', he was transferred to the prefect of Pingjing, Gansu. In the seventh year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the prefect of Shigang, Guizhou. According to the deputy envoy of the inspector.

One year later, in the 13th year of Jiajing, Feng Yu was also 58 years old, the age to retire and return home.Feng Yu retired from his post and settled in Qingzhou, where he mainly read, lectured and sang with his poet friends.In the second year of his return, he established the "Haidai Poetry Society". The poems of singing and harmony were compiled by Feng Qi, the fourth grandson of Feng Yu, into 12 volumes of "Haidai Collection", which was included in "Siku Quanshu".

The 24th year of Jiajing was June 1545, 24. Feng Yu died of illness in Qingzhou at the age of 67.Buried at the foot of Yaowang Mountain in the northwest of Qingzhou City.Here is the well-known Feng's ancestral tomb.Feng's ancestral tomb is a tortoise land, which belongs to the extremely precious dragon's cave.Guifu, also known as Baxia, Bixi, shaped like a turtle, is the sixth son of a dragon. He was good at carrying heavy loads all his life and had great strength. The tortoise under the stele is his portrait. The tortoise is a monument and a symbol of longevity.

In Feng's ancestral tomb, Yaowang Mountain is the Houle Xuanwu, and Beiyang River is the Suzaku.It turns out that there are two small rivers around Yaowang Mountain surrounding the ancestral tomb.But now, the small river has dried up into a big soil ditch, and fruit trees are planted in the ditch.Therefore, dragons and tigers are not visible in the cave, and what is lacking is filled. This may be the origin of the name of the Dragon and Tiger Reservoir.

Feng Yu is the ancestor of Linqu Feng's literary family. His literary fame and political reputation have a great influence on future generations. Therefore, the Feng family has formed a family tradition of being diligent in learning, honest in life, and honest in officials.The ancestors set an example, and the descendants actively followed suit. The Feng family gradually developed in this patriarchal inheritance.The feng shui of Feng's ancestral tomb condenses the inheritance of patriarchal clan, and the power of Feng's cultural inheritance is also unparalleled.

During Feng Yu's lifetime, besides Wei Jian, Wei Zhong, Wei Min and Wei Na's four sons who had already become talents, there were also many grandchildren.Weizhong's son Zilu, who later became a Jinshi, has grown up, forming the core of the Feng family.With the help of ancestral tombs and other environments, Feng Yu's Confucian style can be very effectively inherited. The Feng family pays attention to the inspiration and influence of their own role models and personality strength.

In his later years, apart from singing poetry and prose with his friends, Feng Yu mainly studied at home and gave lectures.Because he was a clean and honest official, his family was destitute and his pocket was shy. "Guangxu Linxian County Chronicles" said that he: "The official pocket is desolate, and he can't support himself." Fortunately, the eldest son Weijian is good at managing the family and is good at management, so Feng Yu can have food and clothing.

In addition, Wei Zhong, Wei Min, and Wei Na's three sons were successively elected.Feng Yu felt extremely gratified that the offspring had achieved something in their studies.Unfortunately, in the 17th year of Jiajing and 1538, the second son Wei Zhongke died in Hefei City, and the youngest son Wei Zhi also died of illness at home the next year. The loss of two sons in an old age made Feng Yu extremely sad in his later years.The glory of being an official for half his life and the leisure of living in seclusion in the countryside are often intertwined with the troubles of living in poverty and the grief of losing a child.In this complicated state of mind, on June 18, 1539, in the 24th year of Jiajing, he died of illness in Qingzhou at the age of 1545.It was buried at the foot of Yaowang Mountain in the northwest of Qingzhou City. After Feng Yu, Feng's ancestral tombs began to be set up in this geomantic treasure.

From Feng Yu to Feng Xieyi, the seventh generation of the Feng family, there were seven generations before and after, with a total of famous candidates and 12 Jinshi.As a family, it is rare to see so many officials and such high academic achievements.The Feng family and the Yizongfa family are the link to pursue Confucian classic cultural education, while the Feng Shui of the Feng family's ancestral tomb condenses the patriarchal lineage inheritance, making the Feng family's cultural heritage unparalleled.Today, one of the Feng family continues to live in Changqiu Village, Miaozi Town, Qingzhou City.

It was the first time that the old man heard that his ancestors had such glory. He was very surprised and became even more curious about Feng Quan. "Young man, where are your family members?"

Hearing the old grandfather ask this question, thinking of Feng Quan, who would never see his parents again after time travel, and thinking of his kind parents, he couldn't help crying, with tears of sadness flying down again and again.

Seeing this scene, County Chief Zhang and Chief Shi Bao, who expressed a little embarrassment, made up a reason, resigned first, and went to the village office.The 12 friends I brought this time filled the small courtyard, and I suddenly remembered that there were three of them, Feng Quan’s grandfather and his brothers.When Grandma Feng Quan saw Feng Quan crying so sadly, she felt a little compassionate, rubbed the corners of her wet eyes, and handed Feng Quan a coarse towel.

Feng Quan took the coarse towel, wiped away his tears, and knelt down on the ground with a thud, with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, grandma, counting generations, our family also moved from Qingzhou to Jiaxiang. The bird that came. Later, our family traveled across the ocean and arrived in Citigroup. Later, it was not easy to get along there, and those who were not familiar with the place were planning to go back to China by boat.

Unexpectedly, in a big storm, more than 00 people on the entire cruise ship were killed.Fortunately, my brain turned faster and I hugged a big wooden board, so I survived.The family tree is also gone. It seems that the family tree has been continued for 15 years. I remember that your old name is written on the family tree.According to the family tree, our relationship is closer, so I found it here.I have no relatives in Huaxia now, I just want to recognize my ancestors and return to my relatives, I am so lonely and sad!Grandpa promise me! !
