Peng and Wuyi
When the ancestor Peng is mentioned, people will naturally think of Peng Zu who lived for 800 years. For thousands of years, the descendants of Peng thought they came from this unique person since ancient times. According to historical records, Peng Zu, whose real name is Keng, was the third son of Lu Zhong, a tribal leader in ancient times. He is good at keeping in good health. When he was Emperor Yao, he was praised by Yao and was named Peng Zu. Since then, Peng Zu's descendants took the country as their surname, and they were called Peng.
Peng Rumao, Management Committee of Wuyishan Scenic Area in Fujian: Now Xuzhou is called Pengcheng in history. Pengcheng was sealed by Emperor Yao, and it was named Pengcheng because of Pengzu's contribution.
At the end of Shang Dynasty, in order to live forever, Zhou Wang sent someone to steal the secret of Peng Zu's longevity, and in order to monopolize this technology, he plotted to kill Peng Zu. In order to avoid disaster, Peng Zu had to leave Pengcheng and travel around the world.
Peng Rumao, Management Committee of Wuyishan Scenic Area in Fujian Province: Peng Zu was frustrated in his later years, so he came to Wuyishan with his two youngest sons. After Peng Zu came from Xuzhou, the place was overrun with wild animals and deserted. Peng Zu and his two youngest sons, Wu Peng and Peng Yi, first dredged the river, widened the riverbed and let the flood flow downstream. Then open up wasteland and develop agricultural civilization.
Peng Zu and his son made great contributions to the development of Wuyi, so they were revered by later generations.
Peng Rumao, Management Committee of Wuyishan Scenic Area in Fujian: Why is Wuyishan now called Wuyishan? This is because we locals use the names of his two sons, Wu Peng and Peng Yi, to commemorate the contributions of Peng Zu and his two sons and call them Wuyishan.
Due to the long history, it is difficult to verify all kinds of statements about Peng Zu and his son living in seclusion pavilions and developing Wuyi, but the descendants of Peng family in Wuyishan are happy to accept these wonderful legends. Obviously, they hope that with the help of Peng Zu, the birthday girl, they can rely on the good wishes of clan reproduction and harvest, and use the fearless spirit of Wu Peng and Peng Yi to inspire their children to make progress.
According to the historical records of Chong 'an, Peng moved from the Central Plains to Wuyishan in written records, which began in the Tang Dynasty. Peng Qian, a native of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, was a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. When he was young, he helped Li Shimin, the king of Qin, put down the rebellion at the end of Sui Dynasty and made great achievements. After retirement, Peng Qian moved to Wutun, Wuyishan, without personal comfort. Peng Qian is very generous. He donated all the money and gold and silk given to him by the court, and raised a large number of refugees to reclaim land and divert water for irrigation, making Wutun area criss-cross. Since Peng moved to Wutun, Peng's family has flourished and talented people have emerged in large numbers. During the period of 1400, there were nearly 100 celebrities recorded in local chronicles alone. For example, Lu Peng, the champion of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Peng Yi, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty; Peng Guangyu, an outstanding diplomat in Qing Dynasty, and others. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Peng descendants of Wuyishan began to migrate to Taiwan Province Province and overseas. At present, Peng's surname belongs to 3 1 in Taiwan Province Province, and mainly lives in Hsinchu and Miaoli counties.
Peng Rumao, Management Committee of Wuyishan Scenic Area in Fujian: Peng Zu's descendants are very distinctive and hardworking. With the improvement of cross-strait relations, in recent years, many descendants of Peng Zu in Taiwan Province Province came back to find their roots and ancestors and came to Wuyishan and Fujian.
