Chapter 222: A Thousand Years of Aristocrats and a Hundred Years of Wealth
On the night of buying the house, Zhao Hong and Li Gang had another meal together, drank a little beer, returned to the hotel and chatted until late at night, not knowing when they fell asleep. Early the next morning, Li Gang went to work again, while Zhao Hong slept lazily and went to Beijing West Railway Station to buy a ticket home at noon.
This is all what Li Gang told him, this is a good train, because the new opening ticket is easy to buy, and there are not many people. It's about 9 o'clock in the evening, and it's summer, so you can take the tram home.
The speed of this trip is still good, and Zhao Hong didn't buy a sleeper ticket, after all, they all take the car during the day, and there is no point in taking the sleeper car.
The train soon left the capital, there are not many high-rise buildings on both sides of the railway, and the dilapidated shantytowns can still be seen in the area that is about to leave the capital, according to Zhao Hong's observation, the capital at this time is a copy of T city after 20 years, and it has just begun to develop!
Coming out of the capital is the endless North China Plain, scattered with a lot of cities, large or small, and this trip went all the way to T City.
Many of the people on the train are going to travel, Zhao Hong's hometown is economically backward, but there are a lot of cultural relics and historic sites, and because of the inconvenient transportation, the ancient cultural relics in many mountainous areas are very well protected, among which there are many wanderers who return to their hometowns to visit relatives and find their roots.
Sitting near Zhao Hong was a brother and sister of the Chinese Wang family of Country M who were about to come back to find their roots, and they were said to be the descendants of the Ty Wang family. Ready to come back for the roots-hunting event.
The place is in the Jin Ancestral Hall Museum in T City, a Ziqiao Temple built in 1526 A.D. and representing the ancestral hall of the Chinese Wang family. This is the Ming Dynasty important minister Wang Qiong to commemorate the ancestor prince Jin built. There are genealogies of the Wang clan that have been preserved to this day in the ancestral hall, which is enough to prove that the Ty Wang clan is the founding ancestor of the Wang clan of the Chinese nation.
The main building of Jinxi Academy is Ziqiao Temple. Jinxi Academy, known as the "Wang Family Ancestral Hall", is located in the Jin Ancestral Hall of T City.
The original name of Jinxi Shuzi was Jinxi Garden, which was the villa of Wang Qiong, a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Qiong was born in 1459, died in 1532, Ty people, the word Dehua, Jinxi, Ming Chenghua Jinshi, once served as the Ministry of Industry Langzhong, the right deputy capital Yushi, the right servant of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and later supervised the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi, with military merits. Jinxi Garden is named after its name. The garden was built in the fifth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1526), and the main room in the park was set up in the ancestral seat of the Wang family, which was the ancestral hall of the Wang family.
The crown prince of the Wang family, the first ancestor of the Wang family, was promoted to the crown prince of Zhou Ling, and was deposed as a concubine because of his direct advice, and then died of depression. His son Zong Jing saw that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was declining, so he avoided chaos and lived in seclusion Ty, and because he was the heir of the royal family, he was called the "Wang family", and since then there has been Ty Wang.
The Wang brothers and sisters said that in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ty Wang was designated as one of the four major surnames in the world (absolute aristocracy), and when Tang Taizong formulated the clan system, Ty Wang was listed as one of the five major surnames in the world, so Ty Wang was called "the first king in the world". In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qiong, who was known as a triple minister together with Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng, was born here.
……
The World Wang Clan Association holds a meeting every year. And that's why they came back, to find their roots, to fulfill the wishes of the elders in their families, and to leave their family's names on their branch genealogy.
The brother and sister are about the same age as Zhao Hong, the elder brother is studying for a doctorate, but it has just started for more than a year, and the younger sister is in the second year of college, but the two of them are much stronger than Zhao Hong, one is a doctor of computer science from a famous school, and the other is a law student from a famous school.
Brother Wang Haifeng said, "Business is an unpredictable industry, think about how many legendary business giants have been, and then how many of them have news of their families? ”
And my sister also agreed, "I chose the law major because I really had limited learning ability." Only a family that has developed in the professional field can prosper for a long time. ”
Zhao Hong was a little unconvinced and said, "Don't those big business families also have a very long history? ”
The brother and sister both looked disdainful, and asked rhetorically, "Two hundred years, three or five hundred years?" The history of the Wang family is more than 2,500 years. Moreover, there are many talented people who can continue to emerge in all periods! Without it, only education is the biggest reason!"
I have to admit that what they said is more reasonable! Wealth can rise on a whim, but it can also rise and fall suddenly, and its demise may also come suddenly. Only a family that studies can truly develop in the long run, education is the most important thing for a family, and only knowledge, culture, and ideas can be inherited from generation to generation and continue to carry forward!
And Zhao Hong is not even rich so far, that is, he has just gotten rid of the basic needs of life, and has begun to have a certain foundation for career struggle, and has a platform to display. Looking at the Wang brothers and sisters in front of him, he also felt some gaps that could not be made up in a short period of time, but isn't this another goal that can be fought for on the road of life? Maybe it may not be achieved in a lifetime, but how can there be less happiness in the struggle? His mentality immediately calmed down a lot.
They briefly introduced themselves, the elder brother is called Wang Qidong, the younger sister is called Wang Qifeng, and Zhao Hong also introduced his own situation. As soon as he heard that Zhao Hong was from T City, he immediately asked enthusiastically about some information about T City.
Wang Qidong first asked, "Xiao Zhao, is the surname Wang or the big surname in T City, and where are the main ones?"
Zhao Hong thought for a while and replied, "In T City, the surname Wang is still a big surname, mainly concentrated in the southwest part of the area, Wang Village, Dawang Village, Xiaowang Village, Houwang Village, and there are several villages near the Jin Temple where the surname Wang gathers, I am not from there, and I usually don't pay much attention to it." At least tens of thousands or more!"
Wang Qifeng also asked anxiously, "Is there anything delicious in T City, is there anything fun?"
Zhao Hong and her brother were a little happy, and said with a smile, "The most distinctive thing in T City is all kinds of noodles, especially noodles! There are about a dozen kinds of good varieties that I have eaten! Many housewives can make dozens of kinds of wheat flour, sorghum noodles, bean noodles, buckwheat noodles, and noodles, such as knife-cut noodles, ramen noodles, rice noodles, tui wo wo, enema, and so on......
According to the evidence, there are more than 200 kinds of noodles in T City, among which the knife-cut noodles are famous at home and abroad, and are known as one of the five famous noodles in China. Others, such as large ramen, knife dial noodles, fish picking, picking, dumpling, cat ears, etc., have a variety of names, making people dizzy.
At least I would make three or four of them, and if I didn't eat noodles for a few days, I felt uncomfortable, as if I couldn't get enough to eat. If you add the old vinegar that is a specialty of T City, it is a delicious taste in the world!"
A few people next to me who listened to Zhao Hong's introduction were also a little yearning, after all, isn't tourism just beautiful scenery and food?
And the people in the province are a little more homesick, the taste of beautiful home!
Efforts are being made. Another chapter is also being worked on. Happy weekend.
