Fukuyama's Prose of Asking Ancestors

According to 20xx, 65438+ 10, the second volume of the Wang family tree in Taiyuan (Appendix I) was rebuilt: "In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1376), the world was unified and Yiping Lake was flat. In the 25th year of Hongwu in Daming (A.D. 1392), at the end of Yuan Dynasty, three states of Jinan, Yanzhou and Dongchang were attacked by soldiers, and the people fled, leaving the fields barren and full of thorns, aiming to make the indigenous households create military records. Lingdong Sanfu: Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou Linhai and other places have a large number of households moving into Xisanfu. At that time, filial piety was not among the relocated people, but I was filial piety, so I moved to Guantao County at the king's order. At that time, the second ancestor was heading west, so it was really difficult to leave home. Nai imperial edict dare not violate, but with his wife and children, in tears. Xiaozong sent his parents to Shun to honor their children, but sent his adopted son Yuan Bo to Guantao County. The magistrate earned a copy and sent his ancestors to Changshi Village in the east of the city. Shun He, the two ancestors, cultivated the land separately, but never came home. After the death of ancestors, Bu Zhao Xin was entrusted. Since Xiaozong, the family business has flourished and the population has flourished. Now the stars are scattered along the coast of Wei Yun He and Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces, which have been passed down for 36 generations and have a population of tens of thousands. "

Today, in the wilderness of Yang Fen Village, Bacha Road Town, Linqing City, Shandong Province, the tombstones of four ancestors, Xiao Li, Shun and Jun, stand tall. There are two dragons symmetrically carved on the tombstone of Xiao Lizu, which are lifelike. The four Chinese characters "Wang Fushan" under Longkou, though somewhat vague, can be clearly identified.

On May 2nd, 20xx, in order to comprehensively, objectively and truly record the ups and downs and achievements of the centuries-old "Fushan Wangs" family; Show the glorious image of Wang Jian, the descendant of Fukuyama's ancestor, who is famous in China and the world; Praise the pioneering spirit of Wang Lun and Wang Xinzu, the "kings of the big mill". On the road of life, they have gone through difficulties together, supported each other, struggled hard and made unremitting efforts. I drove to Yantai with Uncle Jing Da, Aunt Shen Rongmei and my brother Bai Zhe.

After running for a day, I didn't arrive in Yantai until 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Uncle Guofeng of the nation warmly welcomed me. Originally, I wanted to go to Fushan, where my ancestors lived the next day. I didn't expect Uncle Jingda to be in a hurry and need to return overnight. Uncle Guo Feng had to send us a family record of Liu Zhu's family, which was recorded by his father Wang Shengzhi on May 5th. 1998. We also copied the book "Taiyuan Wang Yuan Liu" and the electronic manuscript to my uncle's computer, and said goodbye in a hurry, leaving a deep regret in my heart.

When I got home, I carefully read the family record of Wang. From the fourth year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1739) in the spring and February, Xiao Binzu, who is 85 years old, ranked ninth and tenth (Ding Ren and Qi are also recorded in the annals of Fushan County), and the compiled and published genealogy of Wang Family, it is found that there are also records of filial piety for ancestors who moved to China. There are also many people who spread the word filial piety, including filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety and filial piety. Wang Longxing's "The Origin of Ancestors" records: "During the Hongwu period, my ancestors' contemporaries Wang Xiaozhong and Wang Xiaoli were ordered to move to Guantao County. The records of my genealogy are consistent with the Ming history. He is a descendant of filial piety. He appointed his relatives during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and then Zhang Fengzhen, who was instructed by Fukuyama, took the spectrum to Frye to find his ancestors. It was not my king who moved from Guantao to Fushan. "This kind of record coincides with our Taiyuan Wang Family Tree.

It can be seen that our Guantao and the king of Fushan, Yantai, were one family 600 years ago, and the emotional distance suddenly narrowed. However, the relationship between Xiao Bin, Xiao Zhonghe and Xiao Lizi cannot be verified.

20xx65438+1October 4th, in order to find out the relationship of this chain, Uncle Guofeng took the trouble to drive all the way from Yantai, Shandong Province to Linxi, Hebei Province. Uncle Jing and I accompanied Uncle Guo Feng to Wangji Village, Yandian Town, Linqing, Shandong Province, and Yang Fen Village, Bacha Road Town, Shandong Province, exchanged information with the clansmen and paid homage to the graves of four ancestors, namely, Xiaoli, Shun and Jun. Although we made a lot of efforts, we still failed to understand the relationship of this chain, and we also left a deep regret. This problem has always been a knot in my heart with uncle Guofeng, and I can't let it go for a long time.

On May 20xx 1 day, Uncle Jing stubbornly asked his third daughter Tingting and son-in-law Zhang Guitao to accompany him to Yantai, Shandong Province for the second time when his aunt Shen Rongmei was too ill to walk alone. Uncle Guofeng is very hospitable. After breakfast the next day, Uncle Guofeng personally drove and accompanied us to Fushan.

Fushan has a long history and ancient culture goes back to ancient times. According to archaeological discoveries, there were traces of human activities about 654.38 million years ago. Fushan is also the birthplace of Dongyi culture. At present, there are Neolithic sites in the territory, such as Qiujiazhuang, Zangjia and Dongfeng, which belong to the Longshan culture period and are more than 6,000 years ago. 1983 Yantai was changed from the district to the city, and Fushan County was renamed Fushan District, which has not changed so far.

Through uncle Guo Feng's contact, we got to know Uncle Liang of Fushan School. Accompanied by them, we first came to Dawu Village. Dawu Village is close to the highway with convenient transportation. There is a black stone tablet on the edge of the village, which is engraved with two big white characters "Da Wu". It is reported that the origin of the village name on the back of the stone tablet is wrong.

The eighth chapter of Liu Zhu Wang Family Records, An Examination of the Ancestors, records: "Wang Hongdao, the first generation of the Wang family in Dawu Village, had the second generation of the word' Fan', which was called filial piety, and then the words' Fan' and' Cheng' spread to the 19th century. It can be seen that the word "Fan" in the village was the same as that in our village at first, but there were differences from generation to generation. His second generation and my first generation are the same generation. "

It seems that there is no genealogy of a clan in Dawu Village, and there is no way to continue this Wang Xing with us. But standing on the road leading to Dawu Village, I still felt cordial, so Uncle Jing and I took photos in front of the stone tablet marked "Dawu" respectively.

Then, we came to the site, where no one from the Wangs lived, and became the Wuhuan Painted Tile Factory.

Uncle Guo Feng introduced in detail: "Wang Jiaxuan is behind the gatehouse village. The ancestral home is said to have a hundred acres, and there is a big house village behind it. Moreover, the name of Dawu Village was also taken by my family. 1739, the people living in Dawu Village are all our own. Now, the gatehouse village is about one mile from Totti and three miles from Dawu village. I have also been to Dawu Village. According to my father, Uncle Jia Liang and I have also met several old people. There is an old man in his eighties. He said that when he was a child, he saw a portrait of an ancestor in the hall, with a red beard. The second ancestor Wang Xiaosi has seen it in the genealogy, and the first ancestor Wang Hongdao. I analyze that Wang Xiaosi is Wang Shun's father. If the ancestor can't find it, get a Wang Hongdao instead. 1753, when Wang Qi continued his genealogy, he also said that Dawu Village belonged to Jiujia. At that time, Fan Yong and my nine ancestors were the same generation, and all the great people were the same generation as Wang Qi. My tenth ancestor, whose concierge was called Liu Jia at that time, was a contemporary of my tenth ancestor, and the person who accepted the word Valle was a contemporary of my tenth ancestor. Therefore, the people who lived in Menlou Village and Dawu Village at that time were all members of my Wang family. Now, the gatehouse village can't find my Wangs, but wucun can still find my Wangs. Next time we come, we will go to Dawu Village to chat with some old people. My family moved to Zhuliuwang Village from the sixth ancestor, but the land has always been managed by my family. After liberation, the graves were leveled, and food grew in our department. Zhuliuwang village is about 6 miles away from the cemetery. I think my branch is a descendant of Wang Xiaosi. He lives in Dawu Village, or his youngest son lives in Dawu Village. I have been looking for the genealogy of Dawu Village. When I find out who the third ancestor of Dawu Village genealogy is, everything will be understood. "

I said excitedly, "I am looking forward to the opportunity to come to Fushan again and ask for advice from our ancestors. I am even more looking forward to the day when our bloodline will be passed down and revealed to the world."

Standing in the clearing of Wang Jia ruins, our four uncles and nephews took a "family photo".

Leaving the site of Wang Jiaju, we directly inserted into the deepest part of Menlou Village. There is only one street here, and the rest are narrow lanes. A wider alley can only accommodate one car, and a narrower alley can only be used by pedestrians. Many old houses are in disrepair, with walls falling off and roofs collapsing, and no one lives in them. Some old houses are inhabited, and "Happy family, safe and auspicious" is posted on the door frame during the New Year. The couplets of "Money is rolling, lucky strike" are still red. Some hosts were surprised to see us taking pictures in the street corner and asked us what we do. We asked our ancestors with a smile. When asked about their surnames, none of them are Wang Xingren, which inevitably breeds a cold feeling in my heart.

Staring at the ancient houses, my thoughts went back to more than 700 years ago: my first ancestor, Wang Jian, originally lived in Laiyang, and was only 8 years old in the Yuan Dynasty to avoid drowning. In the Yuan Dynasty, he took his grandmother Zhao and his mother Zhou, reluctantly bid farewell to his relatives and left his hometown. He walked from Laiyang to Fushan County and arrived ten days later to find his uncle. Although my relatives have been out of touch for decades and my grandparents have been dead for 20 years, my grandparents' uncle Wang Hongyuan still provides me with food and clothes. After staying for a few days, I at least visited my grandparents, Sun Guangzu. My 70-year-old grandparents called her children Pei and said, "We are close relatives, so we should know them." As a result, Sun Gong and Wang Gong helped each other, while mother and son lived in seclusion. Two years ago, my grandmother Zhao died, and Jianzu grew up in Fushan County. When I was 20 years old, I studied industry with my cousin Sun Pei. When I rose to the weak crown, I slowly accumulated savings and managed to buy a farmhouse, making my family a little richer. Introduced by my cousin Sun Pei, I married the daughter of Lin Ying, a resident of Menlou Village, Fushan County (her ancestors were originally Governor Jin, but due to the civil strife in the Jin Dynasty, Lin Ying refused to take over, living in seclusion in Fushan Village, with 300 mu of land and a slightly wealthy family), and was later adopted by her husband. The ancestors of Wang Lun and Wang xin have been handed down from generation to generation, and they still live in Menlou Village.

"Look, Youming, did our ancestors live in the old house that is about to collapse here?" Uncle Jing's question interrupted my train of thought.

I seriously said, "Maybe."

Wang's genealogy in 1924 records: "Wang's ancestral home in Danian lived in Menlou Village, which was originally close to Gouta Village, three miles away." In 2007, the first volume of the Wang Family Tree in Taiyuan recorded: "Menlou Village and Gouta Village are three miles apart, the prince (Hongyuan) is in the former village, and my king lives in the latter village." The fifth section of Liu Zhu Wang Family Records records: "According to the memory of Wang Huamin of Dawu, the original genealogy also has records such as' Da and Laiyang moved to Gouta Village'. This is also a testimony to the long history of the ancestral gate house village. " The genealogical records are so consistent that it can be seen that the ancestral home Menlou Village is convinced.

But what about Gouta village? The name of this village was not found, nor was it recorded in Fushan County Records. Uncle Guofeng said: "My uncle analyzed that Gouta Village is not a gatehouse village, but Wanggezhuang, which is less than 3 miles away from the gatehouse village." From this analysis, Wang Gezhuang should be Wang Hongyuan's residence. 1958 when menlou reservoir was built, 37 natural villages were moved as a whole and divided into two wanggezhuang villages.

So, where is Gouta village? Under the leadership of Uncle Guo Feng and Uncle Jia Liang, we came to the "Core Area of Yinhu Provincial Wetland Nature Reserve in Fushan, Yantai, Shandong".

Standing on the broad dam, Uncle Guofeng pointed to a piece of water in the distance and said that it was the site of Gouta Village. Then look back at the gatehouse village three miles away. The distance is right, but the name of the village is still a mystery. Whether Gouta village exists or not, I am still very excited and excited to stand on this hot land of my ancestral home. I left a photo with my back to the site of Gouta Village alone under the dam of Wetland Nature Reserve, and then took a photo with my back to the site of Gouta Village and three uncles of Lao Wang's family on the dam facing the direction of Menlou Village. We consciously integrate our image with the land where our ancestors lived.

On the way back from the ruins of Gouta Village, when I passed through Menlou Village, I deliberately stopped my car and left my own image in front of the sign "Welcome to Menlou Village".

When I walked out of the border of gatehouse village, I suddenly felt that it was difficult to leave my hometown. ...
