/shownews.asp?newsid=556

The Chen family is a descendant of Yu Shun.

After Xia Yu gained the throne, he granted Shun's son Shangjun the title of Yucheng (now Yucheng County, Henan). Later, he was transferred to Shang Dynasty and moved from Yucheng to Shang County, Shaanxi Province. Shang Jun moved away, but his descendant Yu Si still stayed in the old place of Yu City.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, in order to pursue the descendants of the previous holy kings, he found Guiman, the descendant of Yu Si, and betrothed his eldest daughter Taiji to him, and named him Marquis of Chen. Chen is the surname. The capital of his country was Wanqiu, three miles east of present-day Huaiyang County in Henan Province. The Yingshui River came from the northwest of Yangcheng County, so the Chen family took Yingchuan as their hall name. After Guiman's death, he was given the posthumous title Chen Hugong. Hu Gong became the founder of the Chen family name.

Since Chen Hu Gong established the Chen State, it went through Chuanyou Gong, Xuan Gong, Li Gong, Ling Gong, and Min Gong until it was destroyed by the Chu State in 478 BC. It lasted 588 years from the time when Gui Man was granted the title of Chen to the fall of Duke Ming of Chen.

In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a struggle for the throne in the State of Chen. As a result of the palace chaos, Chen Wan, the son of Chen Ligong, fled to Qi State named Jiang for refuge, where he became a minor official called Gongzheng.

Chen Wan, whose given name was Jingzhong, fled to the state of Qi and lived with others, and changed his surname from Chen to Tian.

Tian Wanzhuan's grandson Tianqi in the fifth generation was a senior official of Duke Jinggong of Qi. He benefited the people and won the hearts of the people. Tian Chang, the son of Tian Qi, was appointed as the prime minister of Qi Jian Gong. From then on, the Tian family became the prime minister of Qi for generations, monopolizing the political power of Qi State. Tian Chang's son Tian Pan also appointed his brothers as officials in various cities in Qi State, further placing all local political power in the country in the hands of the Tian family.

Tian Pan's grandson Tian He seized the Jiang surname from Qi State and established himself as the Grand Duke of Qi. He was recognized by the Zhou Dynasty and other countries, and later became one of the seven strongest powers in the Warring States Period. The Eight Legends were destroyed by Qin when King Jian of Qi was established, which lasted 184 years.

After King Jian of Qi was destroyed by Qin, his descendants changed their surnames one after another. One of them changed their surname to Wang and became the ancestor of the kings of Beihai and Chenliu counties. Tian Zhen, the third son of King Jian of Qi, fled to Chu and became the prime minister. , was granted the title of Marquis of Yingchuan. Because he moved to Yingchuan again, his surname was changed to Chen, which became Chen Zhen.

Later, Chen Sheng took the lead in rebelling against Qin, and Tian Dan, a member of the Tianqi tribe, also organized to kill the county magistrate and claim the title of King of Qi. Later, Tian Rong's younger brother Tian Heng also proclaimed himself king.

In the Han Dynasty, Chen Shi, the chief minister of Taiqiu, named Zhonggong, guarded Yingchuan. It is said that he was born and jumped in the fifth generation. Chen Deng's courtesy name was Yuanlong, and he promoted filial piety and integrity. Di Yue, named Menglong. It is said that Hongjin was born in the twelfth generation. It is also said that Chen Hu was born on the 22nd. Chen Hugong moved to Longxi, Fujian Province to avoid the war. Hu Gong gave birth to nine sons: Han, Long, Lie, Duo, Xuan, Dong, Zong, Xiang and Xu. Fierce begets Gui, Gui begets my benevolence and my righteousness; My benevolence begets omens, omens begets literature, discipline and outline. Chen Wen is the 51st grandson of Chen Shi. He moved from Longxi, Fujian to Zhuji Lane, Nanxiong, Guangdong due to his relegation. Today, his descendants are spread throughout the Pearl River Delta, northern Guangdong, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong. In addition, some people with the surname Chen from Guangdong also moved in from other places, but no matter where they came from, they had the family name of Yingchuan Shize and Taishi. The Chen family is the first surname in Guangdong, with a population of 20 million. In order to commemorate their ancestors, the Chen family from all over the country raised funds to build the "Chen Academy", also known as the "Chen Family Ancestral Hall", on Zhongshan 7th Road, Guangzhou. The temple was built from 1890 to 1894, with three rooms, five rooms, nine halls and six courtyards, covering an area of ??8,000 square meters. It has now become a national key cultural relic protection unit.

The Taishan Chen family originated from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong. Chen Hui, the great ancestor, was the fourth grandson of Chen Wen. Chen Wen was relegated from Fujian to Zhuji Lane, Nanxiong, and had two sons: Ding and Nai. Ding gave birth to Wanshan and Fengshan, and Wanshan gave birth to Chen Hui and Chen Wei.

Chen Huiweng, nicknamed Fengtai, was a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty and was an official admonition to the officials. He married the daughter of Kuang Yuping, the great Yin Gong of Zhuji Lane, Nanxiong. Kai; the concubine Hou gave birth to three sons: seven brothers, Run, Tu and Ren. They migrated south and scattered throughout the Pearl River Delta and Chaoshan. Among them, Chen Hui's eldest son Chen Mo, second son Chen Xuan, third son Chen Ying and fourth son Chen Kai, their descendants mainly moved to Taishan, Xinhui and Jiangmen.

The Chen family in Taishan has a large population.

Here is a brief explanation of several main areas:

1. Sanba Chongpan Chen Family

According to Chen Moweng’s legacy (a genealogy written by Moweng himself): Moweng Southern Song Dynasty In the ninth year of Qiandao (1173), he was born in Shashui Village, Zhuji Lane, Baochang County, Nanxiong Prefecture. He was finally transferred to Renyin (1242). His tomb is at the third tip of Ping'an Jiayaji Mountain in Taishan. There is a lamp shape hanging on the wall, also known as a soaring phoenix shape. . The first ancestor, Mo Weng, whose courtesy name was Shichang, was the eldest son of the first ancestor, Chen Hui. He was elected as a Jinshi in his hometown and was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but he was not accepted. In the first year of Kaixi (1205), she moved to Gugang Prefecture from Nanxiong and lived in Xinhui. Du Ruan was married to the Huang family. She was the second daughter of Huang Juzheng in Baochang County. She later married the Zhang family and the Zhu family. Du Ruan gave birth to four sons: Wen Shen, Wen Zhen, Wen Long, Wen Qi. Later, Du Ruan from Xinhui moved to Dexingli, Gugang Prefecture (now Sanba Chongpan, Taishan). Became the first ancestor of the Chen family in Chongpan. The descendants of Mo Weng have a large population. According to the investigation, we can roughly see where the tribes of Mo Weng are:

The first generation ancestor Wen Shen had eleven sons. Wen Shen Weng had five sons: Youli, You Benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith. Youxin gave birth to four sons: the eldest son Lei Xiu moved to Rudong in Yangjiang, and the second son Lei Zhen moved to Haiyan Dakeng, Zhuyuan, Shaqiao, Lugang and other places. The third son Lei Ming moved to Shadui and Shaqiao in Xinhui, and the fourth son Lei Ming moved to Gulong Guanghai.

The first generation ancestor Wen Zhen, served as the Twelve Lang, gave birth to a son: Youzhang. Youzhang gave birth to three sons: Yu Zi, Yu Xian, and Yu Sun. He and Zi Weng gave birth to three sons: the way of thinking, the way of heart, and the way of sex. Sidao Ancestral Temple is located in Sanhewei, Sanhe Town. He had three sons with Sun Weng: Zongdao, Andao and Changdao. An Dao succeeded to Xianzu. Descendants of Wen Zhen are distributed in Chongchao, Liangcun, Chongwan, Chongyi, Yuhuai and other places in Sanhe Town.

The first ancestor Wenlong, served as the Thirteenth Lang, gave birth to his son Tianjue, and moved to Xiangshan (today's Zhongshan City). During the war between Song and Yuan Dynasties, he joined the army and left.

In the first generation, Zu Wenqi, served as the 14th Lang, moved from Chongpan to Huangcun to Shuinan. Wen Qiweng gave birth to four sons: Zhonggao, Zhongdian, Zhongxun and Zhongzhen. Zhonggao moved to Xichong, Shunde. Zhongxun moved to Dongguan Tea Garden. Zhongzhen stayed in Shuinan. Duke Chen Zhongzhen served as a school captain in the Song Dynasty, and was also in charge of the farmland and mainly guarded the Tuantian. At that time, Japanese pirates often invaded Taishan's coastal border defenses, and the Guanghai area was particularly tight. My father-in-law led many soldiers and township regiments to patrol day and night, but the pirates failed to succeed. Later, Li Menglong's bandit took up residence in Baifeng Mountain. They would appear in Xinhui, Taishan, day and night, looting, kidnapping people for ransom, and raping women. Taishan Sijiu, Chonglou, Duhu, and Xinhui Tianting areas were the hardest hit. The Duke was ordered to lead troops to suppress the enemy and made great achievements in defending the local area. Once, the Duke fought with the bandit leader Li Menglong at the foot of Baifeng Mountain. He killed his commander and the bandits were defeated. The Duke was happy to buy wine and food to encourage the three armies, and planned to break into the bandit's nest at night and pacify the bandits with a single blow. Unexpectedly, the thief bribed the public servants and poisoned the raw chicken, carp, and rice wine. Zhong Zhenweng, his father and his son were killed together. On the fifth day of the second lunar month in the 24th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, he was conferred the title of Earl of Appeasement. According to his achievements in suppressing bandits in his life, he repaired his true appearance and built a temple to worship him. This matter is recorded in Xinning County Chronicles.

Some of the descendants of Zhongzhenweng moved to Dongning, Chonglou Chongyang, Lianhuadun, Xiankhouang, Sanhe Likeng, Nadong, Chao'an, Jianxin, Jiandong, and Nandong , Shundong and Haiyan and other places.

The Gaishui Nanwenqi clan was composed by Chen Mingxian and Chen Baisha, who said: "The sacred text will be prosperous forever, it should be auspicious to the country, its virtues will go far forward, and its obedience to the law will be extended forever." When Pan Mozu first moved to Banpai, the word "Banpai" was different: "Feng Yu's family is beautiful, he is respectful and virtuous, his civilization should be prominent, and it will be passed down through the ages." Later, Taishi Chen Botao of Dongguan County was asked to write the words of the new class: "Benevolence inherits the kindness, the fragrance of books brings good people, the country and the family are always shining, and the academic achievements are famous." Shine far away; the stars in Guangnan gather together, indicating prosperity.

Most of the Chen family in Sanhe Town are descendants of Mo Weng and Ying Weng from Chongpan, Shuinan, Huangcun, Duanfen, Pingzhou and other places. They live in many villages. It is relatively wide, including Yanglan Donglian Management Area, Lidong Management Area, Langdong Management Area, Xinyi Management Area and Xiping, Shuisonglang, Shuangkhouang, Chongwan, Liangcun, Nadong, Namhua, Yuhuai , Huan'an, Xin'an, Yongchang, Liuhe, Sangang and other management areas, as well as Sanhewei, Xin'anwei and other places.
