1. The Confucian family's "shenggong" is not hereditary within each dynasty and each generation, but is continuous and continuous in each dynasty.
"Yanshenggong" is a hereditary title for the direct descendants of Confucius. It began in the first year of the Yuanshi period of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Ping named the descendants of Confucius as Baobaohou in order to promote ethics. In the following thousand years, the title changed many times. In the second year of Emperor Zhihe of Song Dynasty (1055), it was changed to Yanshenggong. This title has been followed by future generations. In 1935 AD, the government of the Republic of China canceled "Yanshenggong" and changed it to "Dacheng Zhizhixianshishishiguan". Mr. Kong Decheng, who was born in 1920, became the last Duke Yansheng and the first sacrificial officer. In 2008, with the death of Mr. Kong Decheng, "Yanshenggong" came to an end. /view/57332.htm
2. Yan Shenggong’s grandma in Emperor Kangxi
During the later Tang and Five Dynasties, the world was in chaos, the people were in dire straits, and the Confucius family was in decline. Kong Guangsi, the 42nd generation father-in-law, had a son when he was only fifty years old and named him Kong Renyu. There was only one seedling in the three thousand acres of land. I was afraid that it would not survive in the house, so I asked the wet nurse Zhang to take it home and raise it.
At that time, there was a sweeper named Liu Mo. Because he was working as an errand in the government, he changed his name to Kong Mo. Seeing that he was diligent and honest, the old man entrusted him with the treasury, famous utensils, money and silk, as well as the genealogy of the sixty clan households and the Confucius family of his own branch. At first, people didn't take it seriously - who would have thought that when Kong Mo saw that the world was in chaos, he took the opportunity to steal money from the treasury and secretly changed the family tree of his ancestors. As time went by, Jing said that his surname was Kong and he was of the blood of a saint.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in the third year of Qianhua's reign, Kong Guangsi held a banquet to invite the whole family to drink. After the second watch, Kong Mo actually strangled Kong Guangsi to death. The whole government was summoned to announce that the old man had passed away, and he ordered Kong Mo to receive the seal. He also said that Kong Renyu was the illegitimate son of an outsider and could not accept Kong's cigarettes and must be killed immediately. He had bribed everyone in the house with money, and a group of thugs rushed towards Zhang's house with lanterns, torches, swords, guns and sticks, shouting.
Grandma Zhang’s family celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival and were about to take a rest when they heard shouts of killing like a rising flood. Kong Wei, armed with a sharp sword, broke in with dozens of people and immediately forced Grandma to death. Hand over Kong Renyu. If you don't agree, you will kill everyone!
Grandma Zhang exchanged her infant dog with Kong Renyu, but the dog was frightened and frightened. She hugged grandma's neck and refused to let go, crying: "Mom, I'm afraid..." Grandma patted the dog and stuffed all the candy mooncakes on the kang into the child's arms: "Son, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll be there soon..." …alright! ’
Kong Mo thought Gouzi was Kong Renyu and killed Gouzi on the spot.
In order to avoid disaster, Grandma Zhang's family ran away and lived in the mountains near Shimen for more than ten years. Grandma spun thread day and night. Weaving, helping others with embroidery, doing laundry and sewing, all the money I saved was used to support Kong Renyu's education. During the reign of Emperor Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, Kong Renyu went to Beijing to take the exam and entered Jinbang High School. The imperial court granted him an official position and took his grandmother to Beijing. At this time, Grandma Zhang told him the truth.
After hearing the history of blood and tears, Kong Renyu rushed back to the capital overnight to report his tragic life experience to the emperor. Emperor Long Yan was furious and sent troops to Qufu to capture Kong Mo and cut him into pieces in the capital. Kong Renyu broke up the ancestral family, and Renyu took over. This is the forty-third generation of the Kong family, the "Zhongxing Ancestor"
After Kong Renyu became the Duke Yansheng of the Kong family, he never forgot his wet nurse. For the grace of giving up his son as the savior and raising him and teaching him, he asked the emperor for his permission, and regarded the Zhang family as the benefactors of the Confucian family from generation to generation. "Grandma" became a hereditary official title and was passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. For seven hundred years, the Confucius family and the Zhang family have been related for generations. Every generation of Yanshenggong who receives the seal must respectfully present a dragon-headed bamboo cane. It has been passed down for twenty generations now. This crutch can suppress Duke Yan Sheng even if he makes mistakes, not to mention everyone in the Kong family.
Of course, this is a story in Yue Erhe's novel. It should be a folk legend, plus the novelist's adaptation.
