Tombstone of King Qian

Following Qian Di's testament, the kings of later generations have always paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, and in the last days, Qian Hongyu conformed to the current situation and "returned to the Song Dynasty", so that the country "was not interfered with" to achieve peaceful reunification. Qian Biao's father and son founded the Wuyue Kingdom, and the five lords of three consecutive generations were all named kings by the Chinese Dynasty and became a royal family. The descendants of the Qian family inherited the ancestral teachings, continued the family style, and extended the cultural context, creating a legend of the Wuyue Qian family for generations of strict family style and prosperous talents. This family has always been a line of books, and generations of talents have emerged. The emperor of the Song Dynasty called "the loyal and filial piety, the grand and the only Qian clan". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty also admired the way of his family's godson, and gave the "Qingfen Shishou" plaque during the southern tour. In modern times, it is a "blowout" of talents. Confucianism and scientific and technological giants in the literary world gathered, and there were hundreds of children of "academicians" at home and abroad, so the Wu Yueqian family was recognized as "a thousand-year-old famous family and the first family in Zhejiang". Such as Qian Zhongshu, Qian Zhuangfei, Qian Xuesen, Qian Weichang, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Qichen and so on.

The Qian family rules are composed of three parts: "The Eight Teachings of the King of Wusu", "The Posthumous Training of the King of Wusu" and "The Family Motto of the Qian Family". "The Eight Disciplines of King Wusu" was personally formulated by King Qian Biao of Wusu in the first month of the second year of Qianhua (912 AD). The family motto is based on the decline and fall of the great clan since the Jin Dynasty, "inheriting the ancestors of your ze, and passing on the descendants of the lower Guang", which reflects the strict family education under the "golden book and iron coupon" without death card. Before his death, Qian Biao made ten "testaments" to his descendants. And now the half-white and half-literary version of "Qian's Family Motto" was compiled by Qian Wen in the late Qing Dynasty, and was included in the "Qian's Family Journey" published in 1925 together with "Wusu Wang's Eight Trainings" and "Wusu Wang's Posthumous Training". "Qian's Family Motto" is a book full of wisdom of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. "Family Motto" is divided into four chapters: individual, family, society and country, with deep roots in thought and profound meaning, which is the precious historical heritage of the Qian family and the heirloom of the Qian family.

Anecdotal allusions

A noble man was born

When Qian Biao was young, he often drank and gambled with the sons of Zhong Qi, the recorder of Lin'an County, and Zhong Qi was very unhappy about this. Later, Yuzhang had a scholar who found that there was a king in the Qiantang territory, so he went to Lin'an to secretly investigate. Zhong Qi knew this Xiangshi, so he invited the virtuous people in the county to a banquet, and asked the Xiangshi to observe, but unfortunately it was not. Later, Xiangshi passed by Zhong Qijia, and happened to Qian Biao to come, and Xiangshi saw it and said: "This is really a noble person!" Then he said to Zhong Qi: "Your future wealth will depend on this person." From then on, Zhong Qi not only allowed his son to associate with Qian Biao, but also often helped him.

Count the retreat of the Yellow Nest

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao rebelled and plundered eastern Zhejiang, intending to attack Lin'an. After analyzing the situation, Qian Biao led more than 20 people to ambush the vanguard of the rebel army, and then retreated to 800 li (place name). Qian Biao told the old woman on the side of the road: "When someone comes, you will tell him that Lin'an Bingtun is 800 miles." After the pursuers arrived, the old woman told them what Qian Biao had said. Huang Chao didn't know that 800 miles was the name of the place, and thought that the soldiers and horses of Lin'an had set up a camp of 800 miles, and said: "More than a dozen people couldn't beat it just now, not to mention that there are 800 miles of soldiers and horses now." So he withdrew his troops and departed.

1925 "Portrait of Qian Biao" in "Lin'an Qian Family Tree"

When Qian Biao was a child, he used to play with a group of children under a big tree in Lizhong. After he unified the two Zhejiang, he returned to his hometown, feasted his hometown fathers, covered the mountains and forests with brocade, and named the big tree he played with when he was a child as "General Yijin".

Qian Biao also built a mansion in Lin'an's hometown, and every time he returned to his hometown, he hugged him back and forth, and the pomp was very large. His father Qian Kuan was very dissatisfied with this, and every time he heard that he was coming, he deliberately avoided it. Qian Biao then walked home and asked his father why. Qian Kuan said: "My family has lived by farming and fishing for generations, and there has never been such a noble person. You are now the lord of the two Zhejiang and thirteen states, surrounded by hostile forces, and you have to compete with others for profit. I am afraid that it will bring disaster to my family, so I can't bear to see you. Qian Biao cried and thanked his father, and from then on he was cautious and tried to keep the foundation.

After Qian Biao was named the queen of Wuyue, she returned to her hometown to sweep the grave and invite the old man. Those over 80 years old use gold bottles, and those over 100 years old use jade bottles. Qian Biao personally held the cup and sang "Song of Returning to the Hometown": "Three festivals return to the hometown and hang brocade clothes, and Wu Yue and the king return with a horse." Lin'an Road is lined with flags, and the blue sky is clearly in love. Fathers and elders come and go with each other from afar, and family members and villagers will be scarce. The bullfight is bare-chested! When he saw that the villagers didn't understand the meaning of the song, he sang again in the local language: "Are you happy to see Nongdi? Don't be a general taste. Forever in my heart! "When the song is over, the audience applauds.
