Li became a famous family in Longxi, which was jointly created by three generations: the second son Yao was the head of Nanjun County and was named Di Daohou; His grandson Li Xin was a general and was named Hou of Longxi. During the Han Dynasty, Li in Longxi produced two important figures: Li Guang, a flying general, and his younger brother. Li Liling's defeat was captured by Xiongnu, which made Li's reputation in Longxi County decline. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Li in Longxi rose in troubled times, and Li Gui, the king of Xiliang, was the first emperor of Li.

By the Sui Dynasty, Lee in Longxi was already an aristocratic family in power in the ruling and opposition. Li Yuan in Longxi destroyed the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, taking Li as the country's surname. In the Tang Dynasty, Li in Longxi surpassed Li in Zhao County. Tang Taizong compiled Genealogy, which placed Li at the top of all the gentry's surnames, and even gave the hero the surname Li. Since then, the Li family in Longxi has developed from a family linked by blood to a huge family with multiple integration. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname spectrum contained "Li thirteen looks, headed by Longxi". When compiling Li Yuanliu in the Southern Song Dynasty, "whoever talks about Li is called Longxi". Later Li claimed to be Longxi, and he was attached.

Third, Hong Nongyang

Hongnong county in Han Dynasty was located in Lingbao, Henan Province, which governed Huayin and other places. In the early Qin and Han dynasties, the descendants of Yang were the most concentrated and had the greatest influence. There is still a saying that "the young people in the world are the people who promote agriculture". There are a large number of talented young people, the most famous of which is "Kansai Confucius Yang Qi Bo" who is famous for his "four knowledge". According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, Yang Zhen was born in Huayin, Hongnong. Born in the 30th year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, in 54 AD, he was a great scholar at that time, young and eager to learn. At that time, he was called "Confucius Yang of Kansai".

Yang Jiajiang founder Yang Ye.

Wang Mi, who was appointed as the magistrate of Donglai, passed through Changyi. He was recommended by Wang Mi, then the secretariat of Changyi. He heard that Yang Zhen passed through Changyi, so he went to visit him. When he left at night, he took out ten catties of gold and gave it to Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen said, "I know you. Why don't you know me?" Wang Mi persuaded: "It's dark, no one knows, you can take it." Yang Zhen replied: "God knows, God knows, I know, you know, how can you say that no one knows?" Wang Mi left in shame. Later, Yang Zhen was transferred to Zhuo Jun county magistrate. Because officials are honest and don't accept gifts, his descendants are poor. They often have to take the stairs instead of the car, and there is no meat to eat. Some of my former friends wanted to buy them some real estate, but Yang Zhen refused, saying, "Wouldn't it be nice to let my descendants be called descendants of innocent officials and pass this on to them?"

Yang Zhen's descendants are learned and incorruptible by their words and deeds. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty said, "From the shock to the tiger, the fourth Taiwei, followed by virtue", so it was called "a famous family in Tokyo".

Yang Hongnong is proud of his "Four Knows", taking them as the hall name and his "Innocent Family heirloom" as the threshold, and his legacy still exists today. The 14th Sun Yangjian of Yang Zhen established a prosperous Sui Dynasty, which pushed Yang's position to the peak. Yang Ye, the founder of Yang Jiajiang in Northern Song Dynasty, is a descendant of Yang Feng, the fifth son of Yang Zhen. He was loyal to the country and fought against Liao and Wei.

Fourth, Wang is in Taiyuan.

The ancestor of the Wang family in Taiyuan was Prince Jin. His name is Jin. He was born in 565 BC and died in 549 BC. His real name is Ji. The son of Prince Jin later became Stuart. Seeing the decline of Zhou and the chaos of the world, he asked the old officials to take refuge in Taiyuan. At that time, people still called it the Wangs, so they took Wang as their surname and became the ancestor of Wang in Taiyuan, while respecting the Prince of Jin as their surname. Jing Zong was buried five miles north of Jinyang City after his death, and his cemetery was called "Situ Tomb". The descendants of Jing Zong, who are full of fruits and vegetables, come forth in large numbers and become the famous surname of Taiyuan. Later, descendants spread all over the country.

Ousen Wang

Taiyuan is the first of the twenty-one kings, and the total number of kings. Eighteen Sun Wangjian, his sons Wang Ben, Sun, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, are all famous generals of the State of Qin, and they are officials to the marquis of Wu, and he is an official to the marquis of Wuling. When Qin annexed six countries and unified the whole country, it made great achievements in the northern expedition to Yan, the eastern expedition to Dongping Chu and the southern expedition to Baiyue. The first emperor rewarded him for his work, with Gong Jian and General Meng Tian taking the lead, while Wang Xing and Meng Xing lived together first in the world. The first emperor died and Hu Hai II succeeded to the throne. He gave the death penalty to Fu Su, Jiao Zhao's son, and seized the military power of Meng Tian, so he was named general. II. Bullying and extortion, and the people are miserable. Chen Sheng and Guangwu fought back, while Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought back. Gong Li led the army and fought Xiang Yu in Julu, and Gong Li lost his life. His eldest son Yuan moved to Langya, Shandong Province to escape the war, because he was the "ancestor of Wang Langya".

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Wang Langya

Wang Langya is the representative of Wang Xing's powerful people. During the 700 years from the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Langya was the best in the world, with not only dutiful sons, but also a large number of prime ministers, which played a great role in the stability and development of China society. Wang Langya (now Linyi, Shandong Province) was a scholar-bureaucrat after Wang Li, a famous Qin scholar, in the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China. It is also called "Xie Wang" with Chen Jun's Xie family. Wang Langya's south crossing made great contributions to the stability of the Eastern Jin regime and was called the "first family". It is said that Si Marui once wanted to share the world with him. More than 75% of North Korean officials are from the Wang family. The so-called "the king and the horse share the world" and "the king will be the prime minister if he does not succeed". Wang Langya served as prime minister in Han and Tang dynasties 104 times, except for the repetition due to the two dynasties, there were actually 92 prime ministers. The time of any stage is the most concentrated in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties.

Wang Xizhi

At that time, when Wang Langya was the first clan of overseas Chinese, there were more than 90 prime ministers alone, which was unique in ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Therefore, "public and the world, slaughter and auxiliary" has become a family feature. Therefore, Shen Yue, a person from the Southern Dynasties, commented on Wang Langya: "Since the opening of the port, there has been no re-election of titles, such as Wang Sheng." Historically, Guo, He, Huan, Zhang, Yuan, Yang and other surnames also had famous families, but compared with Wang Langya, they were far behind. The Wang family in Langya has a history of thousands of years, with cicada crowns staggered and male and female attacking each other. Not only did there be no family before the Southern Dynasties, but there was no second family after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher, was born in Wang Langya. There are ups and downs. During the Hou Jing Rebellion in Nanliang, Wang Langya and Chen Jun Xie were destroyed by the Hou Jing family because they refused to get married, and disappeared from the scene.

Sixth, Chen's family background

Chen was a scholar-bureaucrat in the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China. His ancestral home was Chenjun, Yang Xia (now Taikang County, Henan Province). He was the last "important official gentleman" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after Wang Langya, Gao Pingya, Yu Yingchuan and Huan. From Song Dynasty to Liang Dynasty, he was always the leader of the gentry, and was called "Xie Wang" with Wang Langya.

At first, Chen Jun Xie Gu was just an ordinary cremation. "Although Xie Gu is Jiangzuo High School, it is actually the name of Wan and An brothers. Although Xie Bao's father Heng is known as a Confucian scholar, the official prevented imperial academy from offering wine, and his political achievements were unknown ... After that, Taifu took the name of virtue, and at one time he was crowned Hu, striving for glory and beauty, because Wang and Xie were equally famous. " During the Xie Shang period, Zhuge Hui's marriage proposal was still rejected. It was not until Xie Wan became an official and mastered Yuzhou that he began to rise and reached its peak during Xie An's tenure as prime minister. The main achievement of Xie's family in Chen County was to win more with less in the battle of Feishui, which saved the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the Battle of Feishui, most of Xie's children abdicated, but they still maintained the status of the highest family.

Xiean

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Liang Dynasty (365,438+07-557), there were 65,438+02 generations of Xie family, and there were more than 65,438+000 people in Shi Chuan. Their family status was so high that even the emperor sometimes relied on their influence. Xie has a lot of assets and most of his children are excellent. For more than 200 years, he has been regarded as the leader of the nobility. During the Hou Jing Rebellion, Xie Jiahe of Chen County and the Wangs of Langya were killed by Hou Jing's family because they refused to get married, and they disappeared from the scene. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the two families in Xie Wang did not lag behind. Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once felt this way when visiting Jinling: "The old Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people!" It's still awkward to read today!

Seven, Qinghe Cui Shi

Cui Shi originated from Qi in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Once a prominent family in Shandong, she was a national surname for a long time, ranking 74th among China surnames in terms of population order. Qi was one of the important vassal states in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, with Linzi as the capital and Lushang as the founding monarch. Lu Shang was born Jiang, because his ancestors were sealed in Lu (now Nanyang West, Henan Province), so he was given a surname. Ding, son of Lu merchants, was the second generation monarch of Qi.

Lu is a generation of sages, with brilliant achievements and famous writers. Emperor Qianlong also wrote a poem: "Youyan is unparalleled since ancient times, and Fanyang is the first state in the world". Fanyang aristocratic family became the glory of Lushi family for hundreds of years, so Lushi family was named "Fanyangtang".

X. Shi Wen, Taiyuan

Wen's name comes from Ji's surname. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Tang Shuyu was the younger brother of Yu. Duke Zhou destroyed the Tang Dynasty (now western Shanxi) and sealed the land of the Tang Dynasty to him. Xie Jiwei, his son, changed his country name to Jin because of the water in the south. Later, Duke Xiang of Jin was sealed in Wen (now wen county, Henan) in Hanoi because he thought it was his surname. Dr. Jin takes food from Wen, and Wen Ji is also a surname. Wen Da, a hero of the Western Han Dynasty, was named Hou, and Sun Heshi lived in Taiyuan and became a noble family. His descendants were originally county names.

The famous Wen family in Taiyuan include Zou Ping Hou Xuwen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wen Hui in Liangzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wen Xian, a doctor of Guanglu in the Southern Dynasty, and Wen Qiao, a general in the Southern Dynasty ...

Such a prosperous family is rare in the history of China civilization. Wen's family is one of the most favored families in the royal family, and hundreds of officials among the people are scrambling to attach themselves to it. Even Tang Wenzong lamented: "In the world of Li for two hundred years, there are fewer people who want to marry the royal family than those who want to marry Wang and Wen." It can be seen that Wen's social status is not inferior to that of Li of the royal family.

The gentry in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties came into being under the specific social and historical conditions of the continuous development of feudal land ownership and the persistence of slavery remnants. At that time, the peasant revolution was still in the primary stage, local strongmen were separated, wars were frequent and the central government was weak. It is an organic combination of feudal land ownership and the remnants of slavery. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the disappearance of these historical conditions, the gentry also disappeared. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, in order to consolidate the state power, the rulers vigorously cracked down on the gentry and promoted the poor. The gentry system was completely put on the historical stage, and the scenery of the above-mentioned famous families was no longer a historical relic. ? (Source: Interesting History)
