Chapter 101 Ancestral Hall

-----First of all, I wish you good luck! The Seven Fairies and Dong Yonglai are asking you for support! Without your support, it would be difficult for our husband and wife to reunite, and a happy life would be even more out of reach. No one knows our suffering without clicking, we have to sleep on the street without collection, we are black accounts without recommendation, we are Diao people without evaluation, we can't afford breakfast without rewards, we have to be hungry without subscriptions, and we can't afford to take the bus without a monthly pass. Ask for support-----

Xiao Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father director and his party almost arrived at the door of the little girl Zhang Na's house, and the little girl Zhang Na and Zhang Na's father Zhang Fan took the first step and went into the little girl Zhang Na's house.

Then, Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father director, as well as Xiao Dong Yong's stepfather and stepmother Li Zhiyong and Li Zhiyong's wife Li Zhang. In addition, there were several middle-aged strong men who carried the burden together and arrived at the door of the little girl Zhang Na's house......

At this time, from the little girl Zhang Na's house, there were several strong men from the family of the little girl Zhang Na, and they took over the burden on the shoulders of several middle-aged strong men.

There are also a few little girls Zhang Na's family members who welcomed little Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father director and his party into the little girl Zhang Na's house.

When they arrived at the little girl Zhang Na's house, Xiao Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father and director, as well as Xiao Dong Yong's stepfather and stepmother Li Zhiyong and Li Zhiyong's wife Li Zhang's husband and wife, as well as a few middle-aged strong men who carried the burden were arranged by the people in the little girl Zhang Na's family to sit down, and then the people in the little girl Zhang Na's family served boiling water to the guests.

After Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father, as well as Xiao Dong Yong's stepfather and stepmother Li Zhiyong and Li Zhiyong's wife Li Zhang, as well as a few middle-aged strong men who carried the burden, drank their saliva, Xiao Dong Yong's dowry etiquette began again

The venue of Xiao Dongyong's dowry ceremony is naturally the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located.

The ancestral hall is a place where the clansmen worship their ancestors or sages. Ancestral halls are used for a variety of purposes. In addition to the purpose of "worshipping the ancestors", when the grandchildren of each house usually have weddings, funerals, birthdays, happy and other events, they use these vast ancestral halls for activities. In addition, the ancestral hall is sometimes used as a meeting place by the clan relatives to discuss important matters within the clan.

Ancestral hall in China's ancient feudal society, the concept of family is quite profound, often a village lives with a surname, some local ancestral halls or several families, more to build their own family temples to worship ancestors. In some foreign ancestral halls that are relatively close to our culture, they also often appear, and this kind of family temple is generally called "ancestral hall", which is divided into ancestral halls, branch ancestral halls and family ancestral halls. The name "ancestral hall" first appeared in the Han Dynasty, when the ancestral halls were built in the tombs, called the tomb shrine; Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty "Family Rites" set up the ancestral hall system, and since then called the family temple the ancestral hall. At that time, there was a limit to the level of the construction of the ancestral hall, and the people were not allowed to set up the ancestral hall. To the Ming Dynasty Jiajing "Xu people are all associated with the temple of the sect", and later it is the surname of the emperor or the marquis that can be called the "family temple", and the rest is called the ancestral hall.

In addition to being used to worship and worship ancestors, ancestral halls also have a variety of uses. The ancestral hall is also the place where the patriarch exercises clan power, and anyone who violates the clan rules is educated and dealt with here until they are expelled from the ancestral hall, so it can also be said to be a court of feudal morality; the ancestral hall can also be used as a social place for the family; some ancestral halls have schools attached to them, and the children of the clansmen go to school here. Because of this, the ancestral hall building is generally larger than the private house, the better the quality, the more powerful and wealthy the family, the more elaborate their ancestral hall tends to be, the tall hall, exquisite carvings, and high-quality materials, become a symbol of the family's glory and ancestor. Most of the ancestral halls have a hall number, the hall number is written by the clansman or a foreign surname calligraphy master, made of a golden plaque to hang high in the main hall, next to the surname of the origin, the glory of the clan, the chastity of women and other plaques, pay attention to it is also equipped with a couplet. If it is the emperor's imperial seal, you can make a "straight plaque". The size and number of plaques in the ancestral hall are the capital of the clansmen. Some ancestral halls have flagpole stones in front of them, indicating that the clansmen have gained fame. Generally speaking, the ancestral hall has one surname and one ancestral hall, and the clan rules are very strict in the old days, not to mention the foreign surname, that is, the women or minor children in the clan are not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise they will be severely punished.

The ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located is also a traditional ancestral hall building, which is tall and extraordinary.

There used to be such a slogan in my country, "No matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education."

"No matter how hard you can't be bitter for the children, no matter how poor you can't be poor in education" means that there is a better place for the children to learn.

And what about the ancient times?

As long as the slogan "no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter for children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education" is revised to "no matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter for your ancestors, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in sacrifices".

What does it mean that "no matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter to your ancestors, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in sacrifices"?

"No matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter to your ancestors, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor and sacrifice" means that there is a better place for the ancestors' shrines.

Therefore, there is a slogan in our country called "The best house is the school".

And what about the ancient times?

There is no need for a slogan, "The best house is an ancestral hall".

The importance of the ancestral hall can be seen.

In fact, in addition to the purposes mentioned above, the ancestral hall also has a purpose of "refuge".

"Shelter" ???

The ancestral hall was also used as a "refuge" during war.

Could it be that the small ancestral hall can withstand the attack of the army?

Definitely...... Definitely...... Definitely.

In the face of the attack of the army, even those strong walls could not resist.

Under the attack of the army, what can the small ancestral hall do?

That...... How did the ancestral hall become a "refuge"?

In times of war, there are always people on both sides of the war who lose.

The favorite thing that the losing side does is to rob.

Of course, the occurrence of robbery is not necessarily the order of the main general of the losing side.

Rather, the side that loses the battle is often "defeated like a mountain".

After "the defeat of the army is like a mountain", it is natural to scatter and flee for their lives.

Unless those so-called famous generals, even if they lose the battle, they are only defeated, and the army is still in a state as a whole.

It's just that if there is a situation of "defeat like a mountain", is the so-called famous general still a famous general?

After the "defeat is like a mountain", what will happen to the soldiers who are scattered and fleeing for their lives?

When this happened, some of the soldiers were ready to desert.

Desertion, originally referred to soldiers leaving the team and running away without permission, but now it is often used as a metaphor for leaving work without authorization or evading tasks to commit the crime of desertion, and it is a metaphor for not concentrating on thinking and not concentrating on work.

Desertion is also called slipping, and lack of concentration. There are many reasons for desertion, generally including:

1. Surrounding environmental impact. There are many environmental factors that make people distracted, resulting in inattention, etc.

2. The influence of the people around you. This is also the reason for desertion.

3. The main thing is the personal mind. If you focus on what you do, you'll be less likely to desert.

The desertion here is naturally the desertion of the soldiers who broke away from the team and fled without permission.

Those deserted soldiers also need to be entangled when they go home.

But the armies on his side have been "defeated like a mountain" and are in a state of collapse, where is there still entanglement?

What to do?

At this time, the best way out for those stragglers is to rob the common people. After robbing the common people, there is no problem with the entanglement at home.

Don't think that these stragglers don't have much kung fu.

After all, although they are the ones who defeat the battle, sometimes the defeat has nothing to do with these stragglers.

For what?

There is a saying in my country, called "a soldier bears, a nest of bears".

"A soldier bears a bear, and a nest of bears" [Bear: Bow his head like a bear, referring to an incompetent appearance. A litter: refers to the whole, the whole. It means that the incompetence of the soldier is only him, and the incompetence of the general will affect the entire army. It is also said that "one soldier bear, one bear will be a nest". When two armies are at war, the talent of the commander is the key factor in determining the outcome of the war. If the commander-in-chief leads the army well, rewards victory and punishes defeat, administers the army strictly, has a unique military vision, correctly analyzes the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, has a decisive and wise strategy, and gives resolute orders, then the morale of the whole army can be boosted and the whole army will work together to resist the enemy. If the lord is incompetent, the order is changed at the moment, the military discipline is lax, and there is no military talent, then the whole army will suffer, and he will not know why, and he will have different aspirations and no intention to fight the enemy. Such a commander will lead the army into a situation of defeat and collapse. Therefore, the incompetence of one general will affect the whole army, and the incompetence of one soldier has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Besides, stragglers who don't have a little bit of kung fu don't have the courage to rob ordinary people at all. If a few casual civilians can't handle it, what is their purpose in looting? Could it be that these stragglers are "itching all over their bodies -- under-pumping"?

Of course not.

Therefore, these stragglers bravely deal with ordinary ordinary people, even if they don't say anything about a top ten, but a top three is still more than enough.

Therefore, the harm of these stragglers is considerable.

The average civilian population has little ability to resist.

How do ordinary people deal with this situation?

At this time, the ancestral hall is a place of refuge.

Because the ancestral hall is generally very sturdy and strong, even the gate of the ancestral hall is made of thick wooden boards.

The gate of this kind of ancestral hall may not be effective against those siege equipment, but it is still no problem to just attack the cold weapons such as knives and guns of the stragglers.

What's more, in ancient times, martial arts practice became a trend, and the average family also had several martial arts masters. If these martial arts masters need to protect the entire family when they are scattered, it is obviously a fool's dream. But just looking at the gate panel of the ancestral hall, there is no problem in thinking about it.

Therefore, whenever there is a war, people take refuge in their own family ancestral halls.

In the face of the ordinary people who entered the ancestral hall, the stragglers had no interest in robbing.
