Boss Liu's "Looking for Ancestors" caused a sensation.

20 18 at the beginning of the new year, the founder Liu made a headline today, releasing the "announcement of finding ancestors", which can be described as a stone stirring up thousands of waves. Celebrity effect, the news of Liu Xunzu, immediately set off a circle of friends, WeChat circle, media circle, especially the Liu clan in Xiangtan. They are in high spirits and excited, and spontaneously want to provide selfless family assistance to Liu's relatives.

On October 2nd, 65438/KLOC-0, Liu issued the "Announcement of Finding Ancestors", which read: "Before liberation, this clan belonged to Liu's family in Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, and later moved to Jiangsu for some reason. Because great-grandfather and great-grandfather died earlier, only limited information was left-Xiangtan Liutang. My father told me that I hope to find a family tree. Please tell Mr. Liu in old Xiangtan County. Thank you very much. "

Liu said: "His ancestral home is Liujia, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province. He is famous for his loyalty, righteousness and strength, and he helps others to be harmonious. " He also said that because the scope of Xiangtan County in the past was different from that of Xiangtan City today, he hoped that Xiangtan and all the Liu clansmen around him would help provide clues.

As a genealogist who has studied genealogy for more than 30 years, I am glad to hear that Liu Gaobiao, a corporate crocodile and founder, has joined the ranks of "seeking roots". I feel sincerely happy and show sincere concern.

Liu's "seeking the roots" once became a news hotspot. I think there are many factors in the formation of this hot spot. On the one hand, it is the social background. Since the reform and opening up, compiling music, loyalty and filial piety, seeking roots and asking ancestors, compiling music, building ancestral halls, learning family precepts and passing on family traditions have become fashionable and compulsory courses for every family with a surname. On the second hand, the founders of famous enterprises in Zuowei Liu publicly released the announcement of "post-70 s" seeking ancestors, which can be said to express the voice of the younger generation; Third, with the help of today's powerful and diverse media advantages, newspapers, television, internet, WeChat and other carriers are rapidly fermenting and spreading; Fourth, after the 19th National Congress, China entered a "new era". Thousands of years of culture in China, such as Confucianism, surnames and filial piety, should be carried forward.

The media quickly followed up, and the people of Liu paid close attention to it. Research institutions have made suggestions, and even relevant government departments are willing to lend a helping hand and take the initiative to help Liu "realize his dream." This time, Liu's "root-seeking" is not only a personal act, but also an awakening and passion generation of China people's collective "root-seeking"!

Liu's "seeking ancestors" is worthy of recognition. But unfortunately, the language used in his "announcement of finding ancestors" published in the micro-headlines is not standardized and rigorous enough. In the short announcement of 100 words, the first sentence reads: "Before liberation, it belonged to the Liujia family in Xiangtan County, Hunan Province." I think it's a little inappropriate. I might as well change it to "Liu's ancestors moved from Xiangtan County, Hunan Province before liberation." "My father told me to find a family tree" can be changed to: "My father is eager to find a family tree". Not superficial, the author revised the "Announcement of Finding Ancestors" to read: "Liu's ancestors moved from Xiangtan County, Hunan Province before liberation, and his grandfather was born here, and then moved to Jiangsu for some reason. Because Grandpa Tai and Grandpa died earlier, only limited information was left-Xiangtan Liushitang. My father was eager to find the genealogy. Please tell the Liu people in old Xiangtan County to each other, thank you very much! "

Behind the announcement, Liu announced the known ranking: "Loyalty, Justice, Zhiqiang, Wealth of Peace". However, according to Red Net, 1 5th, Liu told Red Net Time reporter through a friend that their ancestors should belong to that category: upright, strong and safe. Instead of what was said in the previous announcement: loyalty, loyalty, Zhiqiang and peace of mind, this also reflects Liu's correct attitude of correcting mistakes!

According to Red Net, after investigation, Liu should be a "relative of the country". According to genealogical records, the Liu clan belongs to the Liu branch of Xiangtan Chuntang, and "Liu's Zhonglingtang" is located in Maowu Bay, Huashi Town, Xiangtan County. Liu's ancestor is more likely to be the descendant of Liu Bang, the fourth brother of Emperor Gaozu. In response, Liu responded: "I am dizzy! Too much ... go to the moon! "

Seeing such a response, I was shocked. Many media, experts and Liu's people have made suggestions for Liu's "seeking ancestors". Whether it is effective or invalid, Liu should be grateful for being rigorous and sincere! As we all know, all descendants of the Yellow Emperor can generally be traced back to the Yellow Emperor, either the descendants of the Yellow Emperor or the descendants of Emperor Yan. This is common sense. According to Liu's logic, isn't it related to "the solar system and the Milky Way" that people go to China to find their roots? !

According to genealogical records, the Liu family in Xiangtan is mostly descended from the fourth brother Wang of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. At present, Liu's genealogy has not been confirmed. However, it is possible that it is descended from Liu Jiao. How can he respond like this? He started from scratch and founded a huge enterprise kingdom in JD.COM. He is indeed an elite, but he may be a layman in seeking roots and ancestors and studying genealogy. I sincerely hope that Mr. Liu can make use of this "root-seeking" opportunity to make up the course of surname culture, trace back to the source and truly understand the mystery of his family background.

The media reported that the "most promising clue" had just been stolen by thieves, which aroused the feelings of many readers. Some netizens even lamented that even if you are as rich as an enemy, you may not be able to find your genealogy and ancestors. I came to tell you not to jump to conclusions. According to my research, this genealogy stolen by thieves is not an orphan, so we don't have to despair. There are five kinds of genealogy of Liu in Xiangtan Chuntang (3 1, movable type version of Du Bentang) in Shanghai Library, and two versions of genealogy in Qing Dynasty.

On October 7th, 65438/kloc-0, xiaoxiang morning herald reported that Liu's ancestors were found in Chenzhou. After Liu, Chairman and CEO of JD.COM Group, published the announcement of searching for ancestors on the Internet, the number of hits of netizens reached 20 million, and many enthusiastic Hunan people also searched for relevant clues. On October 6th, 65438/KLOC-0, the reporter came to Hunan Chinese Culture Research Association. Some experts said that some netizens broke the news that there is a Shiwei tomb in Yongxing, Chenzhou, and the word "Zhong" is engraved on the main monument. Experts said that this may be the most effective information at present and will be further verified.

But I think it is still too early to say that Chenzhou is Liu's ancestral home, which remains to be discussed. Although the tombstone is engraved with the word "Zhong", although the owner of the tomb is Liu, his husband's family is Yin, probably the hall number of Yin's family, not his wife's family, and it is engraved on the tombstone. For example, the tombstones of the ancestors of the Liu family are engraved with "Hedong County (or Hedong Hall)" to show the meaning of not forgetting Hedong, the birthplace of the Liu family. In addition, according to the survey, "Zhong" was a secret organization of the Heaven and Earth Society in the Qing Dynasty, and it also issued cloth tickets for Zhong. It is not clear whether the husband of the tomb owner Liu is related to the "clock" of the Heaven and Earth Society. The "Zhong Tang" on the tombstone seems to have little to do with Liu's surname "Zhong Tang". Another possibility is whether Liu's ancestors were members of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Zhong is their identification-what about the membership card "Zhong"? It's not necessarily the home number. I hope fans can further study and determine it.

Today, the news of Liu's "seeking ancestors" continues to ferment. With the deepening of the report, we may find more powerful clues and uncover the mystery of his life. To say the least, it backfired. If you really can't find the most exact evidence to prove your life experience, but Mr. Liu, don't lose heart. Even if you don't realize your blood relationship, as a big entrepreneur, your searching behavior is enough to impress the world!

There are two meanings to recognize one's ancestors, one is to recognize one's ancestors by blood and the other is to recognize one's ancestors by culture. In case you can't find the pedigree from the family tree. You can also recognize your ancestors culturally, draw nutrition from the family name culture, carry forward the family name culture, benefit the country and the people, and honor your ancestors!

I believe that through hard work, Mr. Liu's dream will definitely come true! If the blood relationship is blocked, we can still recognize our ancestors in culture and make due contributions to Liu's family culture research, family tradition inheritance, ancestral temple repair, cemetery construction, clan rescue and talent training.

"The damage of the body and skin, parents dare not damage, the beginning of filial piety is also; Stand on the road, make a name for yourself in later generations, and die of filial piety! " Mr. Liu, from a small family in Suqian, Jiangsu, to the Liu family in Xiangtan, Hunan and even the whole country, even returned to the embrace of China ancestors, from filial piety to filial piety, is very kind!

I hope that Liu's "Seeking Roots" can awaken more people's awareness of "seeking roots" and stimulate people's enthusiasm for seeking roots. Full of warmth and lust, rich and forget the roots, people need roots, and the cause with roots can flourish. In the new era, we should be cautious, be honest, be virtuous, learn family precepts, inherit family traditions, be a "person with a spectrum", do a "reliable" thing, never forget our roots and never "put on airs". Through genealogy, we can remember the past and let our ancestors light their hearts. Learn family precepts, reflect three times a day, sublimate thoughts and temper personality; Abide by family precepts, carry forward Zude, cultivate one's morality, rule the country and level the world.

Yanhuang is a vein, ten thousand surnames belong to the Sect, and all the people are in harmony, and the world is one. Economic development, social stability, tracing back to the source, compiling genealogy, revitalizing the family and inheriting the family style are the fortunes of the people, the country and the nation! The family style is positive, the folk customs are pure, and the national style is clear, so that the "home country" culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the Chinese culture is going global!
