1. The history of the Tan surname
According to legend, floods occurred in the Central Plains during the Yao period. Yao sent Gun to control the floods. Gun used blocking methods, but failed. After Shun came to the throne, he appointed Gun's son Yu to control the floods. It is said that Gun's wife ate coix in a dream, and when she woke up, she became pregnant and gave birth to Yu. After Yu succeeded in controlling the floods, Shun gave Si the surname Yu. When the feudal lords were enfeoffed in the early Zhou Dynasty, a branch of the Si family was granted the title of son in the state of Tan (today's west of Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province). The power of Tan State has never been prosperous, and soon it became a vassal of Qi State. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi dominated the princes and annexed Tan in the fourth year of King Zhouzhuang (683 BC). The son of the king of Tan State fled to Ju State (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). The descendants who stayed in the motherland took the country as their surname and called it the Tan family. In history, the authentic Tan family was called the Shandong Tan family.
The surname Tan ranks 65th among the surnames in China today. During the Zhou Dynasty, there was Tan State (now west of Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province). According to legend, it was the fiefdom of the descendants of Boyi (Boyi was the ancestor of the Ying family). Later, this land became the land of Qi State, but the descendants of the residents or nobles of Tan State had Taking the name of the country as their surname, they are called the Tan family. Zhuanxu, a descendant of Huangdi, has the surname Ying, so the Tan family's ancestors can be traced back to Huangdi.
The migration and distribution of the Tan surname in history
In the pre-Qin period, the Tan surname was active in Shandong and Henan. Through the Qin, Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the surname Tan has spread to various places. During the Tang Dynasty, the surname Tan was already a famous surname in Hunan, and its main body also moved from the north to South China. During the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, several large-scale immigrants and ethnic integrations resulted in the southern Tan surname being continuously enriched and developed, forming a typical southern surname. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the immigrants from Shandong area to the northeast and the acceleration of the sinicization process of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty formed the Tan surname group in Jiaodong and Liaodong peninsulas. Ultimately, the distribution of Tan surnames in the north and south of my country was created.
During the Song Dynasty, there were approximately 230,000 people with the surname Tan, accounting for approximately 0.3% of the country's population, ranking 67th. The province with the largest number of people with the surname Tan is Hunan, accounting for about 59% of the population with the surname Tan in the country. The distribution in the country is mainly concentrated in Hunan and Guangdong. These two provinces account for about 75% of the total population of Tan in the country. Secondly, they are distributed in Jiangxi, Sichuan, Shandong, Hebei, and Hubei. The number of Tan surnames in these five provinces is concentrated at 22%. A large gathering area with Tan surnames in Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Sichuan has formed across the country.
During the Ming Dynasty, there were approximately 260,000 people with the surname Tan, accounting for approximately 0.28% of the country's population, ranking 78th. In the 600 years of Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the net population growth rate of the country was 20%, and the growth of the population surnamed Tan was lower than the growth of the national population. During the Ming Dynasty, Hunan was still the province with the largest number of people with the surname Tan, accounting for about 25% of the total population with the surname Tan in the country. The distribution in the country is mainly concentrated in Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Jiangxi. These four provinces with the surname Tan account for about 75% of the total population of the surname Tan, followed by Hubei and Jiangsu, with another 14% of the surname Tan in these two provinces. During the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the general distribution pattern of the Tan surname changed little, and its population mainly migrated to the southeast and west. The whole country is still centered on Hunan, forming a large gathering area of ??Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Gantan surnames. 2. How long is the history of Qingquan Temple in Pulandian
The temple was built in the 24th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. In March 1991, Master Yuanlin, a member of the National Buddhist Association, led 10 disciples all the way to Qingquan Temple. , invested more than 2 million yuan to renovate the old temple, build 3 Tianwang Halls, 5 Sansheng Temples, 9 monks' houses, a 400-square-meter two-story sutra collection building, a 5-ton open-air Guanyin statue, a mountain gate and other facilities. Around the temple, there are mountains, shaded by green cypresses, and scenic spots such as Girl's Peak, Dianjiang Terrace, Wuzhilianhua Mountain, and "Penglai" Peak. The natural mountains, water, forests and caves are integrated into one, and it has the reputation of "thousands of mountains competing for beauty". It is a rare tourist attraction.
Qingquan Temple has a long history, is simple and elegant, backed by mountains and rocks, well-proportioned, with carved corridors and pillars, red windows on the Pearl Gate, morning bells and evening drums, the sound of wooden pans and Sanskrit, and the lingering smoke, making people feel at ease. It means to be free from the mundane world. 3. How old is the Qingquan Temple in Pulandian
Qingquan Temple in Pulandian is also known as Wugu City 1. Name: Qingquan Temple (also known as Wugu City) 2. Address: Pulandian City, Dalian Grape Valley Village, Xingtai Town 3. Origin: According to historical records, Qingquan Temple was built in the 21st year of Zhenguan (648-649).
In March of the 21st year of Zhenguan (647), Emperor Taizong Li of the Tang Dynasty decided to return to the due east route, and ordered Li Xun to be the general manager of the Liaodong Road march, and to lead the troops of Yingzhou (Chaoyang area). Follow the route of "Taizong's personal expedition" and return to southern Liaoning.
Also known as Zuo Wuwei General Niu Jindawei Qingqiu Road Marching Chief, he led his troops across the sea from Laizhou (Yexian County, Shandong Province) and marched directly to southern Liaoning.
Let us say that Niu Jinda led his troops across the sea from Laizhou, landed at Shizikou (Lushunkou), stopped at Heifengguan (Nanguanling), and fought against the key pass of Yulin (Jinzhou) via Bolandian (Pulan) store), meandering and sad. The main force passed through Dayingzi (within the territory of Zhuanghe) and attacked Longyuan (Fengcheng County). In July, the troops arrived at Shicheng (northeast of Fengcheng County) and killed thousands of enemies before returning with their troops.
In July, the weather in southern Liaoning was pleasant. Why did the general manager Niu Jinda return to the court? An important reason is that it rains continuously in southern Liaoning, and sometimes it rains "soil" (silt), which is not suitable for fighting. In fact, when Niu Jinda left Yulin (Pulandian, Pikou and other places were under the jurisdiction of Yulin at that time), "water was scarce, people were soft and horses were weak".
He had to send "rangers" to "search for water" along the way. A "journey" reported that a clear spring was found in the ancient fortress of "Huanshanji" (a mountain surrounded by gables on all sides).
Niu Jinda Pegasus came to check, and sure enough, "there is a spring hidden in the grass" (the spring water is hidden in the deep grass), and "it secretes a lot of water, which can satisfy hunger" (the spring water flows out naturally, and Sweet and thirst-quenching), Niu Jinda dismounted and knelt down, saying "Thank you to heaven." Niu Jinda set up camp here and "buried butterflies as sacrifices" next to the clear spring (built a platform of earth and stone to burn incense and offer sacrifices to heaven).
Based on Niu Jinda’s marching route and the time at that time, it is estimated that this mountain city "surrounded by mountains" is the current Weiba Mountain City. Niu Jinda conquered the east across the sea in 647, and Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, "died" in May 649. Fourth, the current situation: Qingquan Temple is located in Weiba Mountain in Grape Valley, Xingtai Town, Pulandian City. It rises layer by layer along the mountain slope. , magnificent.
It is 279 meters long from east to west and 129 meters long from north to south. Qingquan Temple is also called Wugu City Temple. Wugu City is built with a conical T-shaped granite stone. The existing wall is 2-9 meters high.
Although this city has been around for thousands of years, it is basically well preserved. The inscription states that it was built during the "Guangwu Zhongxing" of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It has a history of more than 1,800 years. It has four parts: the first part is the Shanmen Tower and the white marble poetry screen; the second part is the Buddha Hall, the Second Holy Temple, the Medicine King and Dragon King Halls, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, and the Stone Stele; the third part is the Jade Emperor Pavilion. , Laojun Hall; the fourth part is the Golden Mother Hall.
The ancient land area is 4,500 square meters and the construction area is 9,800 square meters. The architectural style of Qingquan Zen Temple is ancient and elegant, with hard mountain style and Xieshan style. Although it is a Buddhist temple, it integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into one, and is known as "the first temple in southern Liaoning".
It is said that the inscription "Tang Wang built a temple" was built during the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. During Taizong's campaign to the east, General Niu Jinda built a temple here. After the Five Dynasties, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, it was rebuilt by Wu Gu in the 35th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (648-1067). It has been nearly a thousand years, but there are no historical materials and inscriptions to test.
Based on the several existing inscriptions and the records of the living masters of Shi Xiu Zhen, it can be concluded that since the temple was built in 648, there have been thirty-two generations of monks and masters. From the 49th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1710) to the fifth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1740), the abbot was the great monk Chong Quan, whose Taoist name was Guangming (his surname was Yu, from Haiyang, Shandong). He painstakingly restored it here for more than 30 years. , aged seventy (1671-1740). After Guangming passed away, his disciple Xian Dharma built the Golden Mother Hall of the Western King behind the Buddhist Hall in the 24th year of Qianlong (1759).
After the 21st year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1841) - the third year of Tongzhi period (1864), he presided over the great monk Shaozhen and built five more Yaowang halls and Zen rooms. Later, Taoist laymen Gong Xiangnan (from Xinglongbao, Tangjiafang Town, Pulandian City) and Zou Yansong (from Bajiazizi, Pikou Town, Pulandian City) started in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927) and lasted for more than ten years. The Jade Emperor Pavilion, Laojun Yan, mountain gate walls, bells and drums, golden tripods and jade screens, overpass flagpoles, security fire pools, etc. were added.
After that, the manager presided over the great monk Zhaoru, the great master Si Enhe, and the great monk Sizhi. Master Shi Xiuzhen (whose surname is Zhao, from Zhaojia Village, Zanzihe, Pulandian City) believed in Buddhism at the age of twelve and left home to come to Qingquan Temple at the age of twenty-three.
5. In 1985, Qingquan Temple was approved by Dalian City as a site for religious activities. In 1988, Qingquan Temple was announced as a provincial cultural relic protection unit by the Liaoning Provincial Government. 6. Person in charge of religious activities sites, religious teachers Resumes of staff and management personnel. Qingquan Temple currently has 45 teaching staff, and the abbot is Master Shi Xiuzhen.
Management organization staff of 7 people. (Resume attached separately) 7. Electronic version of digital photos of Qingquan Temple (attached attached) 8. The origin of the name "Wugu City Temple" Folks call Qingquan Temple in Weiba Mountain City also called Wu Gucheng Temple since 1607 Started after April 21st.
According to the inscription recorded in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, on this day, Wu Gu established and renovated the Qingquan Temple and held the consecration ceremony of the Buddha's body. In addition to many monks, nuns, laymen, and faithful men and women, there were also imperial envoys and admirals who came to participate. The former general Wu Zhengqi, who guarded Liaodong and was also the Japanese general manager, the prince Taifu Ning Yuanbo (Commander of the Northeast Military Region) Li Chengliang and Rongzheng Shangshu (Vice Prime Minister of the State Council) Li Hualong, were in Jin (state), Fu (state), Hai ( Accompanied by Shi Daodao, the regional commander of Zhouzhou) and Gai (zhou) and other officials, they traveled a long way from Liaoyang and came specially to attend the celebration. These two important figures also personally built a monument for the living Aunt Wu, praising her as "an indelible role model."
"The Inscription of the Recruitment Stele" and "The Inscription of the Reconstruction of the Stele" clearly record that Wu Gu's surname was Lin, her husband Wu Jundao, and her common name was Wu Lin. She came to Qingquan Temple from Liaoyang to "visit ancient times" from her husband. She lingered over and over again, happy and unconcerned, and stayed with her benefactor Xing Yunlin for a long time again.
After her husband died, she became a nun and became the abbot of Qingquan Temple. She raised funds for alms, rebuilt the temple, and held the consecration ceremony of the Buddha's body on April 21, the 30th year of Wanli Dynasty (1607).
According to the investigation, Aunt Wu lived in "Anling, Capital City" (Wuqiao, Hebei Province), and they were twin sisters. They look so similar that it's hard to tell their parents apart.
After searching her body, she finally found a black mole under the eldest daughter's right earlobe, so she named the two sisters "Big Mole" and "Er Mole" ("Er Mole" has no mole). Their mother named them both. 4. The history of the family surnamed Tan in Lunzhang Township
According to family records, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty granted the title of hero to seventy-two kingdoms, one of which was named Tan Kingdom. The national site is located in Chengziya, Longshan Town, Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province today. In 684 BC, the state of Tan was destroyed by the state of Qi, and the people of Tan fled to other places, but from then on, the people of Tan state took Guo as their surname. This is Kaiyuan named Tan, and it has been more than 2,680 years. With the development of the times, Tan's descendants later migrated from Shandong to Henan, and then from Henan to all parts of the country (with Guangdong and Hunan being the most numerous). In modern times, some people with the surname Tan migrated to various parts of the world. The author's ancestors moved from Henan to Hunan, and then from Hunan to Jiangxi. In 962 AD, Tan Hongzhi, the 48th generation grandson of the Tan family, moved from Qianzhou, Jiangxi to Guangdong. He is revered as one of the four ancestors of the Tan people who entered Guangdong. The descendants of Tan Hongzhi are also the tribe with the largest number of people surnamed Tan in Guangdong, Guangxi and even overseas. Later generations built Tan Hongzhi Ancestral Hall in Foshan and Guangzhou for descendants to worship (the Tan Ancestral Hall in Guangzhou was bombed by Japanese planes during the Anti-Japanese War, but the Tan Ancestral Hall in Foshan is still intact and is a national cultural relic). Sun Shouhai, the 14th generation after Hongzhi, lived in Luoding, Guangdong, and became the censor of Henan Province. The tomb of Tan Shouhai in Luoding is now a national cultural relic. Shou Hai has three sons. The eldest son is Tan Jin, and the second is Tan Sheng. The eldest son and the second son both live in Luoding's hometown. The third son, Zhiqing, left his hometown at an early age and studied with his father in Henan, Nanning, Guangxi, and Guilin. Zhiqing later held an official position in Yulin Mansion, Guangxi. After retiring from the official position, he settled in Guigang City, Guangxi Province during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty (around 1450 AD). It has been more than 550 years since 1450. The descendants of Zhi Qingshi have been living in Guigang City for twenty-seven generations, with a population of more than 50,000. From ancient times until liberation, people in the tribe have been compiling genealogies, and tribesmen scattered in various places also have the traditional habit of regularly gathering in front of Zhiqing Cemetery to worship. According to the ancestral teachings, if one has not revised the genealogy for more than five generations, it will be regarded as unfilial. After liberation and during the Cultural Revolution, there were no public collective worship activities because it was regarded as feudal superstition, but there were still some people who insisted on worshiping in front of Zhiqing's tomb. In 1978, people spontaneously organized collective worship activities for Zhi Qinggong. Some wise people proposed to sort out the genealogy of Tan people in each village and compile the Tan genealogy of the whole city. This initiative has the support of respected tribesmen. So the Tan Clan Association in Guigang City was initially formed.
Members of the clan association worked tirelessly to collect the Tan family genealogy circulated in each village. These genealogies are very old, and some are very rustic and crude. Some are written on earthen paper, gauze paper, or even pencil. Some of them started writing in a hurry after receiving notification. But this is a manifestation of the centripetal force of the family. Relying on these rural native genealogies, the clan association has basically clarified the development history of the 27 generations of Tan people in Guigang. But where is Zhiqing's father Shou Haigong, and where is his ancestor Hongzhi Gong? At that time, this was not accessible to the outside world and was still a mystery.
So Jinting, Shaozhang, and Yucheng, who were all over sixty and retired at home, volunteered to take up the task of searching for their roots. They first found out that Tan Zongxiu in Juziping, Lingshan, Guangxi, had preserved the book "The Records of the Tan Family" compiled by Hong Kong Tam Yao-wa in the 1950s, so they went to Tan Zongxiu's home to explain the sincerity of people with the surname Tan in Guigang to go out to find their roots. The family named Tan all over the world, Zongxiu lent them these two books without hesitation and took them back to Guigang. Later, they contacted Tan Yaohua himself, who also enthusiastically presented the upper, middle and lower clan records to the Guigang Tan Clan Association. Based on the research on the local genealogy and the book "Tan Family Records", the three of them visited Gaoyao County, Gaoming Cangbu Shaomashan and Luoding in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. The Tan clan members from all over the country regarded them as their relatives and distinguished guests from afar and received them warmly. In Luoding, when they said that Duke Zhiqing was the son of Shouhai, Luoding's clan Eran. They said that for hundreds of years, they had always believed that Shou Hai only had two sons, Tan Jin and Tan Sheng. There was no record of Zhi Qing in the genealogy? Could it be that you made a mistake? So both sides took out ancient genealogies for comparison. The records from Hongzhi to Shou Haigong on both sides were basically the same, which showed that Zhiqing must be a descendant of Shou Hai. But why is there a record in Guigang that "Zhiqing's father is Shouhai", but there is no record in Luoding that "Shouhai has a son named Zhiqing"? Together they looked at Luo Dingfang's older genealogy. One of them contains the words "Shou Hai's son - Feng'er (Wu Chu)". Luo Dingfang explained that because they could not find any records of Feng'er's deeds or descendants, they believed that "Feng'er" was a false name and did not pay attention to these words. For hundreds of years, they have believed that Shouhai only had two sons. Guigang side proposed that according to the records of Guigang genealogy, Zhiqing must be a descendant of Shouhai. Could it be that Feng'er was Zhiqing's childhood nickname? When Feng'er grew up, she gave herself the official nickname "Zhiqing"? However, Zhiqing left his hometown since he was a child and traveled with his father to study in Henan, Guangxi and other places. Later he served as an official in Yulin and Guigang. Therefore, little is known about his situation in his hometown. Moreover, due to the inconvenient transportation and limited material and economic conditions in ancient times, perhaps Feng'er had no contact with Luoding's hometown after being named Zhiqing. Or maybe it was the laziness and neglect of records of the generations of Shouhai people that caused the Luoding people to not know for hundreds of years that there was another Zhiqing in Shouhai who moved to Guigang, Guangxi and has grown to have more than 50,000 descendants? Both sides agree with this analysis. As a result, the historical mystery of hundreds of years ago was finally clarified through the hard work of several elderly people in their 60s. Both parties were very excited, thinking that perhaps their ancestors had manifested themselves, and that the blood ties between the families that had not been in contact for hundreds of years could finally be reconnected. Luo Dingfang also provided several elderly people with a copy of the family branch map of the first 48 generations from the Tan family to Hongzhigong and the 14th generation family branch map from Hongzhi to Shouhai provided by the Sun Yat-sen University Library and the Hunan Library. In this way, the lineage of the Tan family from Kaiyuan Tan to the current 89th generation can be basically clarified. 5. The origin and history of the surname Tan
The origin of Tan’s totem and surname Tan comes from three sources. Comes from the surname Si. According to legend, floods occurred in the Central Plains during the Yao Dynasty. Yao sent Gun to control the floods. Gun tried to block the floods, but failed. After Shun came to the throne, he appointed Gun's son Yu to control the floods. It is said that Gun's wife ate coix in a dream, and when she woke up, she became pregnant and gave birth to Yu. After Yu succeeded in controlling the floods, Shun gave Si the surname Yu. When the feudal lords were enfeoffed at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, a branch of the Si family was granted the title of son in the state of Tan (today's west of Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province). The power of Tan State has never been prosperous, and soon it became a vassal of Qi State. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi dominated the princes and annexed Tan in the fourth year of King Zhouzhuang (683 BC). The son of the king of Tan State fled to Ju State (today's Ju County, Shandong Province). The descendants who stayed in the motherland took the country as their surname and called it the Tan family. In history, the authentic Tan family was called the Shandong Tan family. It comes from the ancient southwest ethnic minorities. According to the textual research of "Tonggu Genealogy of Ten Thousand Surnames", the six surnames in Banan (today's Yunnan and Guizhou areas) include the Tan family. They claim to be descendants of Pangu. Looking out of Hongnong, they are the Tan family of Yunnan and Guizhou. The Tan family had a taboo about changing their surname to Tan.
