Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Mencius, Gongsun Chou Shang" records: "From Tang to Wuding, the king of sages and sages is six or seven. These include Shang Tang, Taijia, Taiwu, Zuyi, Pangeng and Wuding. "Yanzi Spring and Autumn Period: Inner Chapter I" also recorded: "Futang, Taijia, Wuding, Zu Yi, the world's prosperous monarchs." ”

During these generations, the Great Peng State has played a great role, and the following is an introduction to the situation of the Great Peng State:

The founding king of the Great Peng Kingdom was Peng Zu, a famous Taoist figure in the pre-Qin era.

Peng Zu, a Peng Keng, the third son of Lu Zhong. Peng Zu lives in Pengcheng, "Zhuangzi" into Xuan Yingshu: Yao Feng (of) in Pengcheng, its way can be ancestor, so it is called Peng Zu. "Chu Ci Tianwen": "Peng Keng pours the pheasant, what is the emperor's feast? Suffer a long life, how long is the husband?" Wang Yi notes: "Peng Keng, Peng Zuye." Hong Xingzu added a note quoting "The Legend of the Immortals": "Peng Zu's surname is Keng...... Yao was sealed in Pengcheng. Han Liu Xiang wrote "The Biography of the Immortals", listing Peng Zu in the immortal world and calling him "Shuoxian". Peng Zu is a native of the Great Peng Clan (now Tongshan, Xuzhou, Jiangsu), and the "Tongzhi Clan Strategy" records: "Peng Zu founded the country in Peng, and his descendants take the country as the clan." Peng is also a surname. "The history of the early Song Dynasty" Taiping Huanyu Ji "Pengcheng County" quotes "Pengmen Ji" cloud: Yin Zhixian minister Peng Zu, the great-great-grandson of Zhuan, to the end of Yin, 767 years old, the tomb still exists, so the name of the city is Da Peng Yan.

Regarding Peng Zu's life experience, the following historical materials can be explained.

"The Family of Chu" records Peng Zu's life experience: "The ancestor of Chu came from Emperor Gaoyang. Gao Yang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and the son of Changyi. Gao Yangsheng said, called the birth of the volume, the volume of the birth of the heavy li. Chongli is the emperor Gao Xin is in the fire, very meritorious, can melt the world, the emperor said Zhu Rong. The Gonggong clan made a rebellion, and the emperor made Chongli punish him endlessly. The emperor is to Geng Yin's day to punish Chongli, and his younger brother, Wu Hui is Chongli, and then reinstates Huozheng for Zhurong. Wu Huisheng Lu ended. Lu had six children in his life, and he sued for caesarean section. Its long day is Kunwu, two days Shenhu, three days Peng Zu, four days Huiren, five days Cao surname, six days Ji Lian, half surname, Chu followed also. "Historical Records Suoyin" believes that the name of the "volume" is "Lao Tong". This is slightly different from "The Imperial Line".

That is: Chongli is also the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor gave birth to Changyi, Changyi gave birth to Gaoyang, Gaoyang's Sheng, called Shengjuanzhang (Lao Tong), and Juan Zhang Shengzhongli. So in fact, Chongli is the nephew of Emperor Yu and the direct descendant of the Gao Yang clan.

Chongli served as the Huozheng official position of the Emperor Gaoxin (the casting official of bronze weapons and sacrificial vessels, a high and powerful position), and made great contributions, the world heard of his name, and the emperor named his tribe as Zhurong, which is the highest honor of the Huozheng position in history, and there are many tribes that have held the official position of Huozheng in history to get the name of Zhurong.

Emperor Yu was worried that Chongli would continue to grow his power and pose a threat to his position, so at that time, the rest of the Gonggong clan was in turmoil, and Emperor Yu sent Chongli Shuaibu to attack the Gonggong clan, so that it would be beneficial to win or lose. The rest of the Gonggong clan is so easy to fight, although Chongli was defeated, but although the Gonggong clan was defeated, its strength was not reduced, and it adopted the method of dispersed guerrillas, and it was always entangled. Emperor Yu took the opportunity to make trouble and ordered Chongli to be executed on Gengyin Day, and in order not to let people gossip, Chongli's mediocre younger brother Wu Hui was established as the lord of the Zhurong clan, and still served as Huozheng.

Later, in 2444 BC, Emperor Yu led an alliance of princes to defeat and submit to the Gonggong clan, and the Gonggong clan became a member of the princes. In this way, the two major forces that threatened the emperor's throne were subdued by the emperor.

Wu Hui gave birth to Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong married the daughter of the Ghost Fang Country and gave birth to six children, namely: Kunwu, Shenhu, Hou Keng (Peng Zu), Huiren, Cao surname, Ji Lian, of which the sixth son Ji Lian, half surname, is the ancestor of Chu State.

Sima Qian's "Five Emperors": "Yao Lao, make Shun take charge of the world's sub-government and patrol hunting." Shun had to do things for twenty years, and Yao made the regent. Yao Bang. After three years of mourning, let Danzhu return to Shun in the world. And Yu, Gaotao, Qi, Houji, Boyi, Long, Chui, Yi, and Peng Zu have been used from time to time since Yao, and there is no division of duties."

"Peng Zu" and other ten people, Yao Shi has already been promoted, but there is no position. Coupled with the twelve tribal leaders, "these twenty-two people have made great achievements: Gaotao is Dali, Ping; Boyi officiates, up and down Xianrang; the main engineer of the vertical department, a hundred works to make a contribution; benefit the lord Yu, the mountains and Zepi; abandon the main Ji, a hundred grains Shimao; the deed master Situ, the people are friendly; the dragon lord guests, people from afar; twelve pastoral lines and Kyushu do not dare to disobey, only Yu's merit is the greatest,......。 When Shun was in power, twenty-two ministers were appointed, and although the specific charge of "Peng Zu" is unknown, he is also one of the twenty-two ministers.

Peng Zu, whose surname is 篯 and whose name is Keng, was born on the third day of the third lunar month in the 23rd year of Emperor Yao (BC2362), and died on the 12th day of the sixth lunar month in the 20th year of Emperor Yu (BC2248), at the age of 114.

Wang Yi's note and Hong Xingzu's note:

During the reign of Emperor Yao, the Central Plains was flooded. As the leader of the tribe at that time, Emperor Yao commanded the control of the water, and because of his long-term concern for the safety of the tribe and his subordinates, Emperor Yao became ill and was bedridden. He didn't get a drop of water for several days, and his life was in danger. At this critical juncture, Peng Zu immediately cooked a pheasant soup according to his own health regimen. Before the soup was served, Emperor Yao smelled the fragrance from a distance, turned over and jumped up, moved his index finger, and then drank it all, and the next day he was radiant. Since then, Emperor Yao must eat this chicken soup every day, although he has all kinds of opportunities, but he will not get sick. For a while, it was passed down as a beautiful talk and passed down. Pheasants were not uncommon at that time, and the ingredients were not mysterious, so the "suspicions" focused on Peng Zu's other secret recipe.

"Peng Zu Yangdao" once recorded: "Emperor food, heaven raises wood fruit seeds". A bowl of ordinary chicken soup can be a little water-based medicine, and the health effect comes from this small wood fruit seed (tea seed). Peng Zu knew the health effects of wood fruit seeds (tea seeds), so he would hit the trick. The secret of Emperor Yao's longevity (probably the longest-lived monarch, around 140) is also found in this tea seed.

Peng Zu's "The Way of Pheasant Soup" gradually developed into "The Way of Cooking", and the Pheasant Soup is the earliest famous dish recorded in China's classics, known as "the first soup in the world". In the history of Chinese cooking, Peng Zu is said to be "the first famous professional chef in China" and "the longest-lived chef", and is still respected as the ancestor of the kitchen industry.

After that, Yao gave him Pengcheng (Xuzhou, Jiangsu), so later generations called him Peng Zu. However, this statement may not be credible, a place cannot be determined by a dish, it should be his own merit, so he was rewarded with this fief by cooking the food, and the area around Xuzhou was still a marginal area at that time. The princes and ministers were all sealed around to defend the Central Plains Dynasty. However, it also explains why it is revered as the originator of cooking. In the early days of Shun, he was one of the 22 important heroes, and in the late Shun period, he learned the truth from Yin Shouzi, and then lived in seclusion in Wuyi Mountain.
