The Yellow River goes straight down to the Iron Gate Pass, and the flying dragon chases the sea to see the grand view,

If the sea wants to go east, ask the tide to the sun,

Jiapu Luwan 90,000 hectares, sure enough, the sea has become mulberry fields,

Boiling the sea and boiling waves has become an old thing, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

The surging Yellow River, winding thousands of miles, higher mountains, splitting canyons, passing through forests, crossing grasslands, carrying mud and sand, all the way mighty, rushing into the sea. The confluence of rivers and seas, the rest of the great rivers, hundreds of millions of years, reluctantly rushing day and night, gave birth to this magical land of the river father and sea mother - the Yellow River Delta.

Located in the delta, the estuary of the Yellow River, as a unique large river estuary, controls the Yellow River internally and locks the shipping outside, and has gradually become a battleground for soldiers of all dynasties - "Iron Gate Xiongguan" came into being.

Tiemen Pass was first established in the Jin Dynasty, and became a military fortress in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as a dry wharf and an important place for salt transportation. In December of the third year of Jin Mingchang (January 1193), due to the establishment of a county, the "Yongli Town" that originally belonged to Binzhou on Shandong East Road was merged with the "Dongjindu" on the west bank of the ferry and named Lijin County.

Because the outline of the city resembles a phoenix spreading its wings, the county seat of Lijin is also called Phoenix City. Phoenix City rests on the water of the Tianhe River, steps on the road to Beijing, connects the benefits of fishing and salt in the north, collects the rao of mulberry dates in the south, and has the Qinghe River and Dongjin thoroughfare. Therefore, after the establishment of the county, the merchants diverged, and the flow of goods was smooth, and it was very prosperous.

There is an ancient village in the north of the city in five miles, because the road in the center of the village is spread out in the form of radial five strands, the shape is like a flower blooming, so it is called the five strands of the road village, and later the big village is divided into three, do not change its appearance. In order to facilitate the distinction, they take the big surnames in the village, and they are called the Cui family five shares of the road, the Meng family five shares of the road and the five shares of the Yun family. The Cui family and the Meng family do not show it, but only talk about the five-strand Daoyun family.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Yun Ze, the fifth ancestor of the Yun family, was hardworking and intelligent, and he led the whole family to cook salt and sell salt while working hard, and later led the grocery business. After decades of hard work, he gradually accumulated thousands of family fortunes, thousands of acres of fertile land, and became a local wealth. Later, with the rapid increase in population, Yun Ze built a bright Yun family manor on the north side of the main road in the village.

Yunjia Manor sits north to south, the gatehouse is towering, three into the courtyard, behind the east and west two alleys, more than a dozen yards, the dark gate on both sides is engraved with the door pair of "loyalty and filial piety for a long time, poetry and books continue to be long", the gray shadow wall of the door is inlaid with a big brick carving "and" word, highlighting the feelings and family style of the owner. Across the street in front of the courtyard is a threshing ground for drying firewood, grass and grain, and it also serves as a place for children and grandchildren to practice martial arts on weekdays.

The Yun family was born in poverty, and they know that it is not easy to start a business and it is even more difficult to keep it, and they attach great importance to the education of future generations, and the family rules are strict. "Success is due to diligence and thrift, failure is due to luxury", requiring all Yun family members to be diligent and thrifty, strictly prohibit gambling and extravagance, and regardless of men and women, they should read and write at an early age, practice martial arts and fitness, and read in the rain and rain, which has gradually become a family style. Therefore, there are chess in literature and kung fu in martial arts, which often become a matter of exchange between the old and young families of the Yun family in their leisure time, and later became the village style with a long-term influence.

The stars changed, the sun and the moon changed, and in a blink of an eye came to 1914 (the third year of the Republic of China).

In the Wugu Daoyun family courtyard, the three brothers Yunshan, Yunhe and Yun'an, the grandchildren of later generations, gave birth to nine sons and two daughters, known as Jiulong and two phoenixes, including:

In 1914 (the third year of the Republic of China), World War I broke out, and most of Western European countries were involved in the fire of World War I. At home, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution and implemented a restoration plan, and the Chinese Revolutionary Party was established in Japan. Peasants in Changtai County, Fujian Province waged an anti-grain struggle. More than 3,000 peasants in FL County, Sichuan, rose up and fought against the reactionary army. The peasants of Wannian County, Jiangxi Province rose up and burned the county government.

Under the pretext of declaring war on Germany, Japan invaded and occupied the station in Weixian County, Shandong, and presumed representatives from all walks of life in Shandong went to Beijing to petition.

At that time, there was a severe drought in Lijin, and the agricultural harvest failed, and the vast number of peasants survived the old calendar and the new year in the midst of hunger and cold.

At this time, the land of China was turbulent, and the Yellow River Delta, where the rivers and seas blended, was also shrouded in a dark cloud of war......
