Xiangzhou's own family came to recognize relatives

Remembering the people of the Ji tribe in their homeland

When Lee In-woo came to Hanfu this time, he brought someone with him. The man was in his thirties, tall, stout and powerful. is also in business, and he knew Li Renyou before, but he has no deep friendship.

Since the day before the fight, according to Han Yanxuan's instructions, Li Renyou paid attention to the merchants in Xiangzhou, and when he inquired, it happened that he was also surnamed Han, saying that it was a close branch of the Han family.

This young man claimed to be Han Qingyuan, and his father's name was Han Zhouchen, according to Han's "Renbao Huayu, Yankou Xuanqing", their father and son should be on the last two words, because in the Jin Dynasty, they did not dare to be blatant, so their patriarch changed to the same sound instead. His ancestors and Guohua Gong belonged to uncles and brothers.

Han Hua is the father of Han Qi and the ancestor of Han Yanzhou.

This Han Qingyuan took out a set of family trees, opened the title page, and there was an inscription by Han Qi: Han's children, each with a book, for the country and the family, and make contributions.

In order to prove this, Han Yanxuan's family also has such a set of genealogy, which was compiled by Han Qi when he was sentenced to Xiangzhou, and the Han family in Xiangzhou has it, but many families were destroyed in the war, and not many of them have been preserved, and there are even fewer of them with Han Qi's inscription.

After crossing to the south, the eldest brother Han Xiaoxuan presided over the revision again, and reprinted this edition a lot. Now, almost fifty years later, it's time for the family tree to be renewed.

Han Qingyuan turned the family tree to the word "benevolence", the ancestors of the two were uncles and brothers, and his ancestors were called Han Yuhua. Down can only go to the "mouth" word generation, because the two countries are separated, can not be contacted, Han Xiaoxuan's second repair genealogy, only continue the descendants of the Han family after the southern crossing, called Xiangzhou Zhongxiantang Han clan genealogy.

As for the Han clan in Jinxiangzhou, ten years ago, they also renewed their family tree, called the Xiangzhou Han family tree of the day Jintang, and continued to the "green" generation. Han Qingyuan also brought this genealogy, and opened it to find his family's branch.

The two genealogies are contrasted, the roots are clear, and the branches are clear. Han Qingyuan knelt down and confessed his relatives, because Han Yanxuan ranked seventh, he called him the seventh uncle, and Han Yanxuan hurriedly helped him up.

At this time, the housekeeper also brought the second family tree, and the two exchanged, Han Yanxuan sighed with emotion: Xiangzhou Han has the same species and the same root, and the blood is connected, but because of the barbarian invasion, the Central Plains has become a foreign country, so that relatives can not see each other, which is heartbreaking.

Han Qingyuan also asked eagerly: "Yes, Seventh Uncle, when will the Great Song Dynasty go on the Northern Expedition, Xiangzhou's father and elder are eager to wear it." ”

Han Yanxuan also thought: Yes, I also hope that the Great Song Dynasty will go on an early Northern Expedition and cross the Huai River, but I don't have that ability, to be honest, now I am in my early forties, but I have never seen what my hometown is like and where the ancestors' graves are going, let alone sweeping the tombs of our ancestors and entering filial piety.

Li Renyou saw that Han Yanxuan was sad, so he told him in detail about his trip to Xiangzhou. Accompanied by Han Qingyuan, they looked at the Dayjin Hall, which was naturally different from what it used to be, the main hall and the middle courtyard were occupied by a landlord named Jin Dalin, and the other side halls collapsed and were destroyed.

What about the stone tablet with the inscription?

Han Qingyuan said: I know this, I heard my grandfather say that when the Jin soldiers came, some soldiers lived there, and they thought that the stone tablet was in the way and wanted to smash it.

Han Yanxuan said: I'll give you money, eldest nephew, see if you can transport it.

Han Qingyuan replied: I don't know if it's okay, I want to find a way.

Li Renyou also helped, I will work with you to find a way to get it. Then he went on to talk about the journey to Huangfutun Village.

When I arrived in this village, I didn't go far to see the ancestor of the Han family. The whole Qidi seat faces north, along the sunny slope of the mountain and goes down, and to the south is an open land. The overall condition of the land is fine, the trees are shady, the road is complete, the tombstones and tombs are still intact, the altar is also clean, and there are not many weeds. Han Qi's cemetery is the largest, basically in the middle, there are mythical beasts in front of the tomb, the Shinto monument written by Emperor Shenzong is still standing majestically, Han Qi and his wife Anguo's wife Cui's joint tomb is in the middle, and behind it is the tomb of three such ladies. Before, we also prepared some offerings, starting with the eldest, burning incense and kowtowing respectively.

It is said that the ancestor of the Han family was selected by Han Qi when he knew Xiangzhou for the second time. At that time, Han Qi was almost sixty years old, and his health was not very good. I invited a Taoist priest from Chengli in Tokyo to choose from a radius of 100 miles in Anyang. The Taoist priest said,

There are mountains in the north, water in the south, there are lights in front and back, high in the north, and gradually open up in the south, indicating that there is a solid guarantee from the ancestors, and the descendants will be like surging water, stretching endlessly, and the road is getting wider and wider. If you choose this place, you will inevitably be prosperous, the branches and foliage will flourish, and high-ranking officials and giants will emerge in an endless stream.

Han Qi looked around, as if there was some truth.

After the land was bought, it was slightly leveled, and the road was repaired and trees planted. The tombs of the ancestors below the great-grandfather were moved from all over the place. By the time of Jingkang, it had formed a scale.

Han Qingyuan added that according to the elders, at first this place was also desolate for a few years, overgrown with weeds, and some tombstones were crooked. You know, in those years, everyone died, and they couldn't take care of themselves, so naturally they couldn't take care of their ancestors. Later, when the country was settled and there was no longer a war, the county officials of the Jin Kingdom came over, saw the tomb of the king of Zhongxian and the Shinto tablet written by the emperor, and paid homage to him, and said to the chief of the body: This Han Qi is a great person, and his tomb must be protected. Then, the patriarch arranged regular cleaning, maintenance, and sacrifices.

Han Yanxuan is very satisfied, thank you, thank you, old folks. Qingyuan, tell me about the situation of the Han clan.

Listen to the elders, when the Jin soldiers went south, the Han surname who stayed in Anyang did not leave, there are a lot of deaths, now decades have passed, after recuperation, the population is about 2,000 people, excluding the women who marry outside, mainly live in Xu Xiang in the north of the city, and Hanjiazhuang in the east of the city, most of the families are cultivating the land, and there are good people who study and become officials, teach in the open hall, and do business.

Are there any people who are slaves and slaves, are there people who don't even have land, the elderly have no one to take care of, and the children have no one to support, so that they run away from the famine and ask for food?

Yes, definitely, but I can't say how many.

Well, I think I am Xiangzhou Han, I have always been loyal to the family, and our ancestors taught us to work for the country and help the clansmen. Due to the fall of the Central Plains and the fall of Jinbang, for decades, my ancestors have been sacrificed by the clansmen, and the husband is ashamed.

Qingyuan, Uncle Seventh will give you 10,000 copper coins, half of which will be given to you for transporting the stone tablet, and the other half will be handed over to the patriarch, asking him to help those people surnamed Han who are in difficulty, and must let them have land to plant, food to eat, and no longer be slaves. If the stele is really unlucky, you will keep a thousand, and give four thousand to the chief. You go back and inquire again, how much will it cost to do these three things, and I will give it to you next time, just as I am thanking you to the same sect. I will write another letter to the patriarch, and you will pass it on to him.

It was not early, and Han Yanxuan invited the two of them to dinner.
