Chapter 1979

The Ye family's ancestor worship is the most solemn family ceremony of the entire Ye family.

Big families attach great importance to ancestor worship, especially a big family with a long history like the Ye family, which has a deep history and many family branches, and attaches great importance to ancestor worship ceremonies.

In fact, many wealthy families want to hold a special ancestor worship ceremony, but the real ancestor worship ceremony is by no means something that ordinary families can do just to do.

Some nouveau riche families can't afford to hold a grand ceremony to worship their ancestors.

Because in the ancestral graves of these people, there may be a total of the last three or four generations of ancestors buried, and when it comes to their identity, the previous generations may all be farmers, and there is no lofty story to be praised for future generations.

Although the peasant class is also very respectable, in these upper classes, the ancestors did not have a strong enough identity background, so they were indeed a little unproductive.

Especially in the upper class of Yanjing.

In addition to comparing money and power, what is compared is family origin and heritage.

Yanjing has a lot of old and young people in the banner during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the ancestors of these families were all nobles in the banner during the Qing Dynasty.

Such a family has a strong heritage, and when the ancestor worship ceremony, casually take out the deeds of two or three ancestors and read them out, which can immediately give people a feeling of bullishness.

The ancestor of the Ye family was also an official of the imperial court, an ordinary family, and the ancestors of the Xiucai were eager to build a ancestral hall for the ancestor of the Xiucai in their hometown, and the Ye family, the ancestors had hundreds of Jinshi alone, ten champions, and a total of thirty-one of the top three together with the champions.

The Qing Dynasty has a history of nearly 300 years, and a total of 112 imperial examinations have been held.

In the past nearly 300 years, there have been more than 20,000 jinshi and 114 champions.

The Guangye family accounted for nearly one-tenth of it, which was an extremely remarkable achievement.

It is precisely because of the many talents among the ancestors that the Ye family has been able to continue to exist for hundreds of years, and it has always been quite powerful, even in the era of war and chaos, at least it is a wealthy gentry.

The Ye family has branched out over the years, and there are at least tens of thousands of descendants of the Ye family all over the world, and a considerable number of them have gone overseas.

Their ancestors, who traced back hundreds of years, were the ancestors of the Ye family.

It's just that in ancient times, the eldest son inherited the mantle, and the other sons-in-law and concubines had to divide their families, so more and more Ye families were reduced to side families, leaving only the descendants as the real suzerain.

It's like Ye Chen's father has three brothers, if according to the ancient rules, after Ye Chen's grandfather dies, the three sons of the Ye family will be separated, and at that time, Ye Changkong, the eldest son, will inherit most of the family business and mansion.

The second son and the third son should leave the original Ye family's mansion with their family members after three years of filial piety for their father, and start another family by themselves.

In this way, the two families of the second son and the third son have also become the collateral families of the Ye family.

At this time, the relationship between these two collateral families and the suzerain's family is still relatively close, after all, the second, third and eldest are still brothers of the same mother.

But when it came to Ye Chen's generation, it was Ye Chen's cousin who inherited the mantle of the sect master's family, so the relationship between the two collateral families and the sect master family was another generation away.

By the time of the third and fourth generations, these two collateral families had also derived several finer collateral families, so they were even farther away from the suzerain's family. Fastest updates

If it lasts for five or six generations, the span may have passed more than 100 years.

At that time, everyone may not know each other at all, and the names of the descendants of other side families can only be found on the family tree.
