First, this family has the strongest culture, the closest unity, the longest living time and the largest population, which is unparalleled in the world. Yimen Chen and the Nine Emperors of Tang and Song Dynasties praised it 27 times. Since the early 1940s, many Chinese and foreign experts, scholars and celebrities have conducted in-depth research on Yimen Jin Chen. They all agree that Yimen Chen Wenhua is the essence of Chinese national culture, a model of practicing Confucianism, a model of a harmonious society and a model of a civilized family. Yimen Chen Shijia, from the 19th year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (73 1), when Chen moved to Jiangzhou, to the 7th year of Song Jiayou (1062), lasted for 332 years, creating a world miracle in which 15 generations and 3,978 people lived together. There is a poem of praise: the coat in front of the hall has no owner, and the three-year-old child doesn't know his mother. Fifteen generations are inseparable, and more than 4,000 people live in harmony! ! !
Second, the emperor's special decree separated a family, which is unique in the world. Song Renzong Jiayou seven years (1062), Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng, Fan Shidao, Lu Hui, etc. Chen Taijia's excessive ruling and opposition made comments, which should be analyzed and preserved. In July, Emperor Injong personally ordered a large-scale analysis of the Chen family in Yimen, and 3,978 people were moved to 72 counties 144 counties and analyzed to 29 1 village. By March 1063, the analysis was completed.
Three, a hundred dogs in the same trough, a dog can't reach it, and a group of dogs don't eat it. This is a must from ancient times to modern times. In order to help look after the house, the Chen family in Yimen raised 100 dogs and built a manger for 100 dogs in Guyimenfang. Because of the long-term influence of chandy, a righteous man, to show filial piety to his family, dogs also understand human nature, and there is a unique view that "dogs in the same trough, dogs don't come, and dogs don't eat", which has been recorded in Guinness World Records. Legend has it that one year, I went to Yimen to see Chen personally, and I brought a hundred rice bowls in the dog trough. The dogs got together and each held a rice bowl. But when they saw a white dog with two rice bowls in its mouth, they slowly walked up to a lame yellow dog and threw a rice bowl to the yellow dog. The dogs ate it with relish. Therefore, there is a saying that "the righteous men are strange in the world, and the dogs are strange in the same groove". 1996 was recorded in Guinness World Records.
Fourth, family law, family training and family training were established the earliest and most complete, and were promoted by the court throughout the country. Chen Chong, the third generation parent of Yimen Changdi, believes that the way to manage the family must start with filial piety. In view of the large number of family descendants at that time, seven generations lived together in the kitchen. So during the period of 890-89 1, he successively wrote 33 family laws, 12 family instructions and 16 family instructions, so as to standardize the behavior of his people, maintain family harmony and maintain long-term friendship. Since then, Yimen Chen Shishou abides by family laws, sincerely serves family precepts, strictly abides by family precepts, and inherits family loyalty and filial piety. Other surnames in ancient times also had family rules, but they were far less complete than Yimen Chen's family law, which became a typical family law in ancient China. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties recommended to court officials to follow suit and spread it throughout the country.
5. Dongjia College was founded and became the earliest "private university" in the world, and its collection of books was also the first in the world at that time. Chen Chong, who has lived in Jiangzhou for a long time, knows that to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character, and to run the country in good order, we must attach importance to education and cultivate talents. Thus, in the first year of Tang Dashun (890), Dong Jia Xue Tang, the earliest family school in ancient China, was founded at the foot of Dongjiashan in Yimen. It is also the earliest "private university" in the world, with complete system and large scale, and its collection of books is called "the best in the world". It is a famous place for collecting books, seeking knowledge, giving lectures and traveling in China. More than 300 precious poems were left by Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Chen Yaomao, Yan Shu, Yue Fei and Lv Duan. Japanese scholar Kenji Hirasaka called Dongjia Academy "the embryonic form of China ancient academy". In 2009, Dongjia Academy was incorporated into the first lesson on the first page of the Chinese textbook for senior two in Jiangxi Province.
Sixth, the "tinker system" was first established. At the peak of Dongjia College, there were more than 30 classrooms and more than 400 students. In order to maintain the academy for a long time, the Chen family in Yimen set up 20 fields as special funds for education. This is the earliest school in the world to set up fields, 700 years earlier than Britain.
Seven, the earliest implementation of nine-year compulsory education system. Dongjia College has two levels of schools, the lower level is the "book house" and the upper level is the "book hall". According to the Yimen Chen family law, boys enter school at the age of seven and leave school at the age of fifteen. Those who have the ability are admitted to Dongjia (namely Dongjia Academy). From the age of seven to fifteen, it is exactly nine years before and after, all of which are guaranteed by the "tinker system". The education of "book house" is "enlightenment" and the education of "study hall" is "response", thus forming two-level teaching, which meets the needs of imperial examination system in feudal society.
Eight, the earliest implementation of strict monogamy is the earliest fine traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. It is clearly stipulated in the family law of Yimen Chen that all men have only one room and concubines are not allowed. This is strictly monogamy. If you deviate, you will be punished by the family law of "taking off your clothes and makeup and returning to service for three years".
Nine, the earliest implementation of the democratic election system, adhere to the meritocracy. According to Yimen Chen's family law, the candidates for "principal" (that is, parents) and "treasurer" (that is, treasurer in charge of family wealth) should be "regardless of age", "those who choose to be sincere and forgive Gu Ren should be entrusted with it", "those who choose to be firm and engage in business should be appointed" and "those who cannot be called should still be replaced by others".
X. The earliest kindergarten was called "Baiyingtang" at that time. In Yimen, Chen men plow and women weave. "Whole Silkworm Farm" is a workplace for women to raise silkworms, reeling, spinning and weaving. At its peak, more than 300 women were running it. Parents built a "Hundred Babies Hall" next to it to take care of babies in a unified way. As long as the baby cries, no matter whether it is born or not, women will take the initiative to breastfeed, which is called the earliest and largest family nursery in ancient China. They all say, "Three-year-olds don't know their mothers."
Eleven, the earliest establishment of nursing homes, then known as "Shouantang". In the first year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1023), Chen Yun, the 13th parent of Yimen Changdi, considered that there were more and more elderly people in the family and needed to spend their old age safely, so he built the "Shouan Hall" for the elderly to enjoy. There are piano, chess, painting, Four Treasures of the Study and simple fitness equipment in the room. At the same time, there is also a "Taishuyuan", which is specially designed for people who are officials outside the country to recuperate after retirement.
12. The earliest family hospital was established, which was called the "Medical Custom Hospital" at that time. In the first year of Taiping and Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (976), when Chen Hong, the parents of Yimen Changdi VII, was in power, the "Medical Custom Hospital" was established to gather famous doctors from all over the country, mainly to prevent and treat diseases for their families and also to serve people with other surnames. It was famous for more than 60 years, and/kloc-0 was destroyed by the Japanese invaders in 939.
Thirteen, only the casting Yimen coins approved by the emperor can be listed and circulated. During the reign of Chen Zhou (9 12-942), he invited the emperor to make copper coins at home, which was approved, so he cast a copper coin with a square hole and the words "Yimen Bao Tong", which can be circulated in China. It can be seen that the emperor attached importance to Yimen Chen.
