Chapter 58: Right and Wrong, Right and Wrong (II)
Ding Laohan continued: From the allusion of "Liang Shang Gentleman", it can be seen that the Chen family attaches great importance to the inheritance of virtue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Later, the Chen family passed on, and there was a Jiangzhou "Yimen Chen family" that spanned the Tang and Song dynasties and was known as "the first in the world". From the nineteenth year of Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan (731 AD) Chen Wang settled in Yimen, Jiangzhou to the seventh year of Song Renzong Jiayou (1062 AD) was ordered to divide the family, Yimen Chen's construction of Zhuang and cooking lasted a total of 332 years, 15 generations of people did not divide the family, the total population of 3978 people did not divide the stove, it is the world's most populous and largest family. Later, Song Renzong was worried that his family was too large to rule, so he divided the Yimen Chen clan into 291 branches and scattered them to 72 counties in 16 provinces across the country, so there was a saying that "the Chen clan in the world is out of the righteous gate". As an example, according to research, the famous Chen Yun, Chen Yi, and Chen Geng of our party, the veterans of the Kuomintang, Chen Lifu, Chen Guofu, and Chen Cheng, and the famous early leader Chen Duxiu, are all descendants of the various tribes analyzed by the Chen clan of Jiangzhou Yimen.
In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, after Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang were defeated in the battle of Poyang Lake, the Yimen Chen family was subjected to Zhulian, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to Chen You's "Yimen Chen" Guli in retaliation, and carried out a ransack, not only the former residence was destroyed, but also the people were demoted to "beggars" and exiled. As a result, the descendants of the Chen family emigrated overseas.
At that time, in addition to Chen Youliang's troubles, the second son Chen Li also fell into the water after the defeat, and was rescued on the Xiaogushan River in Susong County, Anqing, Anhui Province. He gave birth to two sons, the second son Ding Liangqing moved to Huaining, Anqing, and later multiplied, and was respected as the first ancestor of the Ding family in Huaining County, in fact, he was the descendant of Chen Youliang of the Yimen Chen family, and the fifty-fifth generation grandson of Chen Shi of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This is the reason why the old man's surname is Ding, but the ancestor's surname is Chen. Ding Laohan claimed to be the twenty-second grandson of the Huaining Ding family, and the first eight generations of the Huaining Ding family did not rank according to the characters, because they were ready to change back to the Chen surname at any time. It was not until the ninth generation that it began, using a seven-word poem with a total of 84 words as the Ding sect, and the third sentence "Shi Boxi can be treated", Ding Laohan is a "scholar" generation, and according to the Chen family, he is the seventy-sixth grandson of Chen Shi's ancestor. The ancestors of his branch later moved to Changnan and settled in the Gaoling Ding family.
After listening to Ding Laohan's family story and inheritance history, Li Shuchong sighed. This is really a huge family that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, according to statistics, there are 70 million people surnamed Chen in the country, and the descendants of the Yimen Chen family alone account for more than 40 million. Li Shuchong couldn't help asking: "The Yimen Chen clan is all over the world, how did such a family inherit it? There must be some special secret, right?"
Ding Laohan thought for a while and said: "Loyalty and filial piety are the foundation, and the cultivation and reading of the heirloom are not only talked about by future generations. , but also supported the backbone of Yimen Chen's culture. In short, it relies on the inheritance of the spirit and the power of virtue. ”
"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Li Shuchong said with emotion. As if he had been enlightened, he immediately stopped hesitating. Yes, the survival and development of a family still depends on the power of spiritual inheritance. If the great Chinese nation wants to rise again and realize the great rejuvenation of the nation, how can it rely only on GDP growth and the accumulation of material wealth?
Li Shuchong didn't expect that when he met an old farmer casually, he could talk about his family and country together. Unconsciously, the two came to the halfway up the mountain, and at a bend in the ancient road, Li Shuchong saw a boulder shaped like a golden rooster, is this the legendary golden rooster stone?
I saw that this boulder is about four meters high, standing in the stone forest is particularly conspicuous, like a hen that has been chopped off the tip of the mouth, and there are many round and slightly smaller stones around, just like a group of chicks snuggling next to the hen, so natural a picture of a hen feeding chicks.
The two climbed to the top of the Golden Rooster Stone together, condescendingly, and the surrounding scenery was clear at a glance. Ding Laohan guided Li Shuchong to look into the distance, only to see a road paved with white gravel winding around the lush mountains, like a jade belt wrapped between the green mountains and green waters, and one mountain was even more white sand piled up like snow. Listening to Ding Laohan's introduction, this is what people call the "green mountains floating and snowy" scenic spot. In fact, these white sand is the waste after the kaolin washing, commonly known as tailings, which has been continuously mined for nearly a thousand years, leaving a large amount of tailings and piling up into mountains.
Li Shuchong's greatest concern is not the scenery along the way, but the management agency of this scenic spot. Ding Laohan pointed to the bend of the mountain road again, not far from the "green mountains and white snow", there is a relatively open mountain area between the trees, and several houses with red walls and green tiles looming, which is the management office of the tourist area.
After making an appointment to visit him another day, Li Shuchong said goodbye to the talkative Ding Laohan and went straight to the management office of the tourist area.
Li Shuchong exerted the golden goose skill, leaped between the stone forests of the Jinji Stone, and jumped out of the stone forest area in a short time, followed the path paved with white sand to the mountain bend, and walked into the gate of the management office. Li Shuchong's elegant figure showed amazing peerless martial arts, and the scene of his easy leap was seen by Ding Laohan, who had just stepped off the Golden Rooster Stone, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but get excited......
Speaking of Li Shuchong, in the service hall of the management office, he saw two young scenic spot administrators, a man and a woman chatting. The Gaoling Scenic Area is not very large, except for weekends and holidays, there are not many tourists on weekdays. The boy's surname is Wang, the girl's surname is Liu, Li Shuchong asked the two about whether the facilities in the scenic area can be rented, but they were told that they can't call the shots here, the reason is very simple: this is a national 4A-level scenic spot, under the jurisdiction of Yaoli Tourism Company, the company is a joint-stock limited company, headquartered in Yaoli Town, here is just an office. Moreover, even if Li Shuchong can find the company leader in Yaoli Town, it is estimated that it is unlikely that the company will rent out office space, after all, there is still a big conflict between working and running a school on the same site.
The teacher is not good, the sullen Li Shuchong wandered around the tourist area for a while, and he lost the interest in touring, and while walking to the door, he planned to go to Yaoli Town another day to discuss cooperation with the leaders of the tourism company. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the service station in the tourist area, he saw Ding Laohan, who had just been separated for a long time.
Ding Laohan came in a hurry, panting and pouting, as if he had come to Li Shuchong on a special trip. Li Shuchong joked and said, "Uncle Ding, are you here to invite me to your house for dinner?" ”
Ding Laohan didn't care about Li Shuchong's joke, on the contrary, he said very seriously: "I came to look for you, just to invite you to my house as a guest." Excuse me, are you an official descendant of the Academy School?"
