? National history, county annals, and family trees are important parts of the inheritance of a famous family culture, especially the family tree, which records in detail The family history evolution process of the family's origin, migration, prosperity and development forms the foundation of Chinese culture. The ancients said: "The genealogy is the foundation of the body." It means that the genealogy can tell you who you are? Where are you from With the genealogy book you can trace the origin. Without a family tree, searching for one’s roots is nothing more than seeking fish from a tree; tracing one’s origins is simply a tree without roots. Today, the country is prosperous and increasingly powerful. As the country realizes the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it also vigorously promotes traditional culture. Genealogy culture is the foundation of traditional culture. Without good family traditions, there would be no good national customs and no fine traditions of the Chinese nation. ?
An old saying goes: It is unfilial to not revise the genealogy for three generations. If the family law is bad, the genealogy will still have legacy; if the genealogy is bad, people will not know where they came from. The old genealogy must be repaired.
It has been more than seventy years since the last genealogy revision of our clan, and it is imminent to continue the revision of the genealogy. However, most of the clan members are limited by time, energy, finance, etc., and have more than enough ambition but not enough energy. Today, I am fortunate to know that my uncle Feng (Zi Sihai) used his retirement time to work tirelessly, alone, across many provinces, from village to house, and to contact many parties. He finally got in touch with the Chongqing headquarters of the Chinese Yu Family and contacted Meng Gong Branch. The genealogy map allowed more than 40 generations above my ancestor Dezong Gong to be clarified. Next, I visited Henan, Anhui and other places and found many descendants of Dezong who were not included in the family tree in the previous genealogy revisions due to the inconvenient transportation and poor communication in ancient times. , let my tribe with the surname Zhiyu grow even larger, and realize the wish that many knowledgeable people in our tribe wanted to achieve but failed to achieve when the genealogy was last revised in 1947. From what I can see, Uncle Jiafeng’s merits are immeasurable. I was invited by Uncle Jiafeng to write the preface for Daochangwan, the sixth revision of our family's genealogy. In fact, I have not fulfilled half of my responsibility in this revision of the genealogy. How can I write the preface for my family? Feeling ashamed, I actively researched the genealogy, and consulted with Uncle Jiafeng, Uncle Liufangwanyan and the elderly ancestors of Wowan about the migration and ins and outs of the Yujia Rice Farm people in Wowan, and found the ancestors who migrated from the Yujia Rice Farm. Descendants and clansmen studied their origins with our bay and came up with some personal insights to share with the clan members. Due to my limited level, I apologize for any errors or omissions during the writing process. It is also hoped that this sequence can provide reference for future generations and restore the process of inheritance and migration of our ancestors.
The Yu family of our family is descended from Yu Meng (also known as Jiaosun), the prefect of Cangwu in the Western Han Dynasty. It has been passed down to De Zonggong, the founder of our branch, for forty-six generations. For the specific genealogy diagram, please refer to the summary of the Yu family of China. Here is a brief introduction to the lineage chart: Yu Meng - the fourth son Yu Jin - the second son Fa Lin - the second son Ji Yong - the second son Yu Lin - the second son Yu You - the second son Shaotianzhi - the eldest son Yuhe--Shizhou--the eldest son Yaozi--Yishi--Yu Qing--Yuzai--the second son Zhaomin--Yuxu--Zigeng--Dalun--the second son Zongyi--Shixin --The third son showed his talent--The fourth son Yu Cong--The eldest son Yu Zhe--The eldest son Renyi--Siwen--Zhonghe--Hongchang--The eldest son Yu Ji--The eldest son Ziyan--The eldest son Chonghua-- Dichong--Yu Qian--Ju'an--Shaoyun--Yuche--Yu Shun--Yu Fu--Zhengbang--Huiguan--the second son Xiwu--Jiaosun--the second son Teng Siam-- Guoxing - Zhenglang - Yihuai - Dezong? Dezong is the eldest son of Yihuai. According to old records in Jiangnan, Yihuai has three sons, the eldest son Dezong, the second son Yiyan, and the third son Yiba. Dezong's ancestor moved to the east of Huangpi, Hubei Tuzhaiwan is the ancestor of our branch. Yi Yan's ancestor moved to Yujiachong in the northeast of Huangpi, Hubei Province, becoming the ancestor of Yujiachong. Yi Baobao gave birth to two sons and moved to Henan and Wuchang respectively. There is no record of it by later generations. Now, after nearly 600 years have passed, There is no way to verify it. Here we will focus on the migration process between the 41st Meng Gong Jiao Sheng Gong and the 46th generation ancestor of our branch, Dezong Gong.
Jiaosheng Gong (Jiaosun is also recorded, because it is confused with Menggong, so he is named Jiaosheng here), a Jinshi in the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in Jishui County, Jiangxi Province, and lived in seclusion and was not an official. According to the old records of Jiangnan and Dawu It is recorded that Duke Jiaosheng moved to Xiling. The Family History Research Committee of the Yu Family Headquarters in China concluded from this that Duke Jiaosheng settled in Yichang, and he may have mistaken Xiling for Yichang. According to my research, "Hanshu Geography" records that Xiling County was one of the fourteen counties where Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty first established Jiangxia County.
"Yuanhe County Map Chronicles Jiangnan Road Three" says: "Huangpi County was the place of Xiling County in the original Han Dynasty". The county seat is in the southwest of today's Huangpi District, Wuhan City. Judging from the map of the Han Dynasty in the "Atlas of Chinese Cultural Relics Hubei Fascicle" edited by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the county area of ??ancient Xiling County involved Huangpi District, Xinzhou District, and Anlu City of Xiaogan City in present-day Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Xiaonan District, Xiaochang County, Yunmeng County and Huangzhou District, Tuanfeng County, Macheng City, Hong'an County of Huanggang City, etc. According to records in "Yuanhe Prefectures and Counties Map, Jiangnan Road Three" and "Song Shu, Prefectures and Counties Chronicles", during the Han Dynasty, the southeast and north of today's Huangpi District belonged to Xiling County, and the southwest belonged to Anlu County; and Xiling, Yichang, In the first year of Wuhuangwu in the Three Kingdoms (AD 222), Sun Quan changed Yiling to Xiling and belonged to Yidu County. In the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty (AD 280), Xiling was renamed Yiling County. That is to say, after the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty, Xiling in Yichang had been changed to Yiling. It refers to the Huangpi Dawu area, so the move of Lord Jiaosheng to Xiling as recorded in the old records of Jiangnan should have nothing to do with Yichang. According to another logical analysis, the Huangpi area in Huangzhou is all hilly. Its west is called Xiling, and Huangpi County was called Xiling City in ancient times. It is logically reasonable. Moreover, the living conditions in the Huangpi area are much better than those in the Xiling Gorge of Yichang, where transportation can only rely on waterways. At that time, all kinds of businesses were waiting for prosperity, instead of fleeing to remote places due to war and famine. Therefore, it is more likely and logical to move to Huangpi and Huangzhou.
The opening chapter of the old genealogy of my Zhi Yu family records: "In the early years of Hongwu, the ancestor of the ancestors moved from Chopstick Lane, Wachidun, Leping County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province to Tumen Huizhu, Gaoyi, Dongxiang, Huangpi, Northern Chu Jia'ao, now known as Tuzhaiwan", according to previous research, Jiao Shenggong moved to Xiling (in the Huangpi and Dawu area) during the Northern Song Dynasty, and his sixth generation, Sun Dezong, moved to Huangpi from Chopstick Lane, Wachidun, Jiangxi. This is illogical. I analyze that Duke Jiaosheng lived in the Northern Song Dynasty and moved to Xiling (Huangpi and Dawu area) to spread his branches. At the end of the Song Dynasty, there was another war. The Mongolian army swept the north and moved south in one fell swoop. Some of the descendants of Duke Jiaosheng came from Xiling (Huangpi and Dawu areas). , Dawu area) are very likely to return to Jiangxi after fleeing, which is also consistent with the historical data that Wazuidun was a refugee concentration camp.
Jiao gave birth to his second son Teng Siam, Teng Siam’s second son Guoxing, Guoxing’s second son Zhenglang, Zhenglang’s eldest son Yigui, and Yigui’s son Demao. According to old records in Jiangnan, Demao settled in Xiling, and Demao had Six sons and nine grandsons. His grandsons moved to Hanchuan, Anlu, Yunmeng, Huangpi Yaoji, Xiaoyi, Guangyang, Dawu, etc., where they all flourished. The second son of Zhenglang is the Yihuai mentioned before. , the eldest son of Yihuai is the founder of our branch, Dezong.
After moving to Tuzhaiwan, Dezong's branch flourished and prospered, and his descendants prospered. The land in Tuzhaiyuan was limited, and later generations gradually relocated to form Tuzhaiwan and the Yujia Rice Farm. It is a huge village group composed of five adjacent villages: Liufangwan, Miaojiatian and Dingwangwan. Wowan Yujia Rice Farm is located at 30°57°23.04″ north latitude and 114°29°26.88″ east longitude. It is under the jurisdiction of Wanshousi Village, Huangpi District, Wuhan City, 1.5 kilometers northeast of Tuzhai Bay. The village as a whole is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. Before liberation, most of the houses were facing west, with a large pond in front of the door to the east. I heard from the old man that the pond water has never dried up and is crystal clear. A square pond water has nourished the family for more than ten generations. After liberation, the houses gradually became facing south. Yujia Rice Farm has outstanding people and a vast geographical area. It is backed by Wangjia Mountain to the north, Chaishan Mountain to the northwest, and the terrain is flat to the south. Wangjia Mountain and Chaishan Mountain wind down, and their momentum gathers in the middle of my bay. The feng shui is excellent. "Xiling Dragon Chapter", a masterpiece of Huangpi Feng Shui, records: "There is a dragon beside Wanshou Temple. The rabbits and birds have disappeared. In front of it is Wenxing and the arsenal. In the back, there are powerful stars and temples to follow. There are hills and mountains, and the sun is high and the Zhuangyuan Peak is shining. "Such a geomantic treasure is indeed a blessed place for our ancestors. It has been more than 400 years since the seventh generation ancestor of the Ming Dynasty moved to Daochang Bay. The branches and leaves of Daochang Bay are the most obvious, and people have multiplied and prospered. At its peak, the population of Bay was more than 200 households. The people of Bay were talented in literature and military skills, and were diligent and thrifty in running their families. At one level, they joined the army to serve the country, and fought bloody battlefields. At the bottom, they plowed in cold weather and worked hard, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. It is known as a rice farm with a radius of hundreds of miles. Famous far and wide. I heard from the old man that during the troubled times, bandits and robbers did not dare to attack us when they heard our reputation.
According to my statistics, although our ancestors were in Tuzhaiwan, the population that originated from our Daochang Bay and the people who moved out of our Daochang Bay and then spread to various parts of the country account for more than half of the total proportion of our Dezong branch. It can be seen from this that , our bay is indeed a treasure land of feng shui, which promotes the prosperity and prosperity of our tribe. Unfortunately, in 1974, the country vigorously built water conservancy facilities, diverted water from the Mulan Lake Reservoir in the north of Huangpi, and built a channel for irrigation to the southeast, which happened to pass through Wo Bay. A channel was built from west to east just north of Wo Bay, cutting off Wangjiashan and the The dragon vein connecting Chaishan to Wo Bay was destroyed. In later generations, Daochang Bay gradually declined, and the tribesmen relocated one after another. The current population is less than 100 households, and it is difficult to restore its former prosperity.
The evolution and development of our Zizi sect: The Laozi sect "chao tiansibo, guarding a country minister, self-written style, Hui Dian must be original", the founder Dezong is the first generation, "chao" The character generation is the second generation, the generation with the character "Tim" is the third generation, there is another generation between "Tian" and "Si", the ancestor is not named according to the character group, it is the fourth generation, and "Si" is the fifth generation. "Bo" is the sixth generation, and there is one generation between "Bo" and "Shou". The ancestors were not named according to the character sect, so they are the seventh generation, and "Shou" is the eighth generation. The following are all named according to the zi sect. This character It was assigned to the generation with the character "Shi" in the twelfth generation. It was continued in the 23rd year of Kangxi. It was changed from the 13th generation to "upright and upright, Hong Ding protects the family, respects etiquette and righteousness, and is rich and prosperous." In 1948, the new sect was continued with "Baoxing Court Training, Cultivating the Heart, and Afterward, and Reviving the Sages" to the 44th generation. In 1993, the 18th generation Duke Dingqiong (Duanfu) continued the new sect. : "Loyal and loyal, accumulating good deeds for a long time, cherishing talents for thousands of years, governing the country and ensuring peace, excellent worldly conduct, enlightenment and fragrance, thousands of auspicious scenes, prosperity and far-reaching prosperity" until the seventy-sixth generation.
The composition of the Yujia Daochang clan is divided into three major families, commonly known as the North Branch, the Middle Branch and the South Branch. From the time of Duke Dezong, as of May 2019, the Yujia Rice Field has been passed down to The twenty-fourth generation with the word "righteousness". Regarding the origin of the Yu family rice farm, the old people in Wanxia passed down the oral tradition: There is a rice farm in the north of my bay, which occupies a huge area. The ancestors of Tuzhaiwan would go to this rice farm to thresh grains when they were busy. Someone must be on duty at night. Over time, it gradually Houses were built near the rice fields, so some of the ancestors of Tuzhaiwan moved here one after another and spread their branches to form villages. According to the 1947 genealogy "Residence in Yujia Rice Farm", this place originally had two surnames: Wang and Kong, with Wang accounting for the majority. It was called Wangjia Rice Farm. My tenth generation ancestor, Xun Gong, and my fourteenth generation ancestor, Kaidaogong, moved here. As the descendants multiplied and prospered, the surname Wang and Kong gradually declined, and the name of the Yu family rice farm slowly spread. The ancestor of the tenth generation, Zi Xun Gong, had two sons, Zhi Rui and Zhi Wan. Zhi Rui had two sons, Xue Lun and Xu Dian. He has the same ancestor as *** in the south, and the 14th generation Kaidaogong is the ancestor of the north. In summary, the formation process of the Yu family rice farm and which ancestor moved here seems to be clear and logical, but according to me Examination, in fact, this is not the case. The process and age are still open to question.
My family tree has many branches, and the year of relocation and the ancestors of the move are recorded in detail. For example, the ancestor of Guanjiahe, the genealogy records: the twelfth ancestor learned from Zhi Gong, and moved from Yujia Rice Farm in the 40th year of Kangxi The Guanjia River under Changlinggang; another example is the ancestor of Yuyoufang. The genealogy records: Taiyougong, the 16th generation, moved from the Yujia Rice Farm of Tumenhui, Huangpi County, Hubei Province to the Yujia Youfang in Zhoutangfan, Luoyi, Henan in the tenth year of Yongzheng. Only the ancestor of my Yu family rice farm has no clear record of the age and name of the ancestor. It is not rigorous to blindly infer Zixun Gong and Kaidaogong. In addition, Xuezhi Gong and Taiyou Gong are not descendants of Zi Xun Gong, let alone the same branch. From this, it can be concluded that Zi Xun Kaidao Duke only lived in the rice field of Yujia, and was not the first group to move here. In this case, who was the first person to move from Tuzhaiwan to Yujia Rice Farm? We can only look for clues in our own family trees.
Let’s talk about the chronology first. The 16th Taiyou Gong was in the 10th year of Yongzheng, and the 12th Xuezhigong was still in the Yujia Rice Farm in the 40th year of Kangxi. This shows that the history of the Yujia Rice Farm can be traced back to the Kangxi period at least. According to Jiafeng Uncle (Zi Sihai) visited Yu Chong, Mafan, Guangshan, Henan, and learned that their family tree claimed that the 10th emperor of Dezong, Zizhi Gong, was their ancestor, and the year when they moved from the Yujia rice field was also studied and determined to be the 17th year of Shunzhi. (AD 1660), this pushed the history of the Yujia Rice Farm forward another forty years. This era was the earliest era when the ancestors moved out of the Yujia Rice Farm. During this period, the personnel composition of our bay was also initially clear: Ten The second generation Xuezhi and the 16th generation Taiyou were the descendants of the tenth generation Zi Neng. Zi Neng and Zi Zi were brothers. Zi Zi moved to Guangshan Mafan in this year, and Zi Neng's descendants also moved to Guanjiahe and Yuyoufang. , the 14th ancestor of the North branch, Kaidaogong, and the 12th generation of Xue Shun Gong who moved to Guangshan Luoguandian are the descendants of the 10th generation of Zi Lingong. Zi Ling and the ancestor of the Central and South branch, Zi Xin, are brothers. In this way, they can be self-sufficient and raise their spirits , Ziyi, Zixin and their cousins ??and uncles are the main ancestors of Daochangwan. After analysis, it can be roughly determined that the seventh-generation great-grandfather Kam Gong who was able to bootstrap and the seventh-generation great-grandfather Zuo Gong who was self-reliant were the first ancestors to move to the area where the Yujia Rice Farm is now. According to the story of Ziji Gong's move to Henan Pushing forward three generations (75 years) from the year (1660 AD), it can be roughly determined to be around the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1584 AD). This is also consistent with the move of the founder Dezong to Tuzhai Bay in the early years of Hongwu (1368 AD). It is said that the seventh generation (175 years) coincides with around 1543 (a difference of 41 years because the ancients were generally young adults when they moved). At this point, the ancestors and chronology of the Yu family's rice farm in Wowan can be roughly clarified, namely, the seventh generation ancestors, Duke of Cambodia and Duke of Chao, who dated from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
The Yu family rice farm has been here for more than 400 years. The ancestors passed it down from generation to generation and thrived despite backward production and harsh conditions. It can be said that they have gone through many hardships. From the seventh to the twenty-fourth life, although there were no high-ranking officials or dignitaries, there were also many knowledgeable people and pillars of talent. We cannot forget them, let alone know our clear origins. Today coincides with the age of peace and prosperity, the national fortune is prosperous, the people have no worries about food and clothing, transportation is convenient, and network information is developed. In the more than 600 years since the beginning of Zu De Zong, there has never been such a God-given opportunity, allowing us to have the top five in this sixth revision of the genealogy. It is a unique advantage that Citu has never had before; unfortunately, the clans of our clan are scattered across the country, and there are many styles of writing. Some branch genealogies are lost, and even the genealogy was not compiled after moving out. Due to repeated relocations, all the people with the surname Yu in the village were gone, leaving only the name Yu. Finding their descendants is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, the process of clearing the genealogy is arduous and laborious. I would like to express my special thanks to the initiator of this genealogy revision. Jiafeng (alias Sihai), on his own, traveled here and there, proofreading and checking, donating funds and raising funds, printing and publishing the genealogy. This contribution and merit will not be forgotten by future generations.
This preface only discusses the history of the Yu family rice farm and the migration of ancestors, and also leaves valuable clues for future generations to continue to build the genealogy. There are some omissions in the writing process, which everyone will forgive. And I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the participants in this revision! ?
Finally, the branches that migrated from the Yu family rice farm more than 400 years ago are attached. The age is a rough estimate. If there are any missing members of the famous family, it will be ignored. In the 13th year of Wanli's reign (1585 AD), the seventh ancestors of the Duke of Cambodia and the Duke of Chao moved from Tuzhai Bay to Yujia Rice Farm. In the 17th year of Shunzhi (1660 AD), the 10th ancestor of Zijigong moved from Yujia Rice Farm to Guangshan Laoshan. The fort and the pavilion were rebuilt at Ma Lei Bridge. Later generations moved to Mafan. The twelfth generation of Yu Chong studied with Duke Zhi. In the 40th year of Kangxi (AD 1702), he moved from the Yujia rice farm to Changlinggang. In the 60th year of Kangxi's reign (AD 1722), he moved from Daochang Bay to Luoguandian, Guangshan, and later developed to Huoyanfan and Tongqianwa (his descendant, the 15th Tianfeng Gong, moved back to Hejia, Hubei from Yuxin Street, Luoguandian Bay; Tianxugong moved to Guangde, Jiangsu.
Duke Tianlong moved to Meijiawan; Duke Tianshun moved from Yuxin Street to Huoshuofan; the 16th Duke Wenmin moved to Tongqianwa; the 16th Duke Chaoyang moved from Tongqianwa of Luoguandian to Liulinzhuang of Xinyang; the 17th Yong Duke Shen traveled from Luoguandian to Zhoujiawan; Duke Dingti and Duke Dingcong of the 18th generation traveled from Luoguandian to Huangjiazhai; Duke Dingbao and Duke Yang moved to Guangde, Jiangsu; Duke Dingliang moved to Luoguandian. Moved to Pengjiawan, etc.) The 16th Taiyougong moved from the Yujia rice field to Luoshan Zhoudangfan Yujia Youfang in the 10th year of Yongzheng's reign (1733 AD). The 16th Taihonggong, the 16th year of Qianlong's reign (1751 AD) In the 17th year of Qianlong's reign (AD 1752), the family moved from the Yujia Rice Farm to Ganjiaji, the 16th Emperor Taixuan. In the 30th year of Qianlong's reign (1766 AD), the family moved from the Yujia Rice Farm to Hanzhen (today's Hankou). There has been no news yet whether it was relocated to Hanzhen (now Hankou). Jiulidian, Xixiang, Shanxian County (now Yuwan, Gaodian), the 16th Wen of Zhougong, moved from the Yujia Rice Farm to Pengjiawan, Xinyang in the 10th year of Jiaqing (1806 AD). In the ninth year of Daoguang's reign (AD 1829), he moved from the Yujia rice farm to Guangshan Baibu Village in Luochen, the 14th century. In the 18th year of Daoguang's reign (AD 1838), the sixth generation, Wenxiu, moved from the rice field of Yujia to Guangshan, Luoguandian, and moved to Yidian. The rice farm was moved to Targang. In the 22nd year of Daoguang's reign (1843 AD), the 15th Duke Taibin moved from the Yujia rice farm to Baicaiyuan (today's Baiqueyuan Town, Guangshan). In the first year of Xianfeng, the 16th Taibin Gong (1851 AD) Year) moved from Yujia Rice Farm to Luoshan Panxing Store. ?
? The 21st Emperor Dezong, Sun Chongcong (zi Cong), was in Wuhan in August 2019
