Fang surnamed about 4300 years ago, is a descendant of Emperor Yao. Emperor Yao's name is Fang Xun, and he is the fifth grandson of the Yellow Emperor. According to legend, Emperor Yao was born in (2377 BC) and Danyang (now Tangxian County, Hebei Province). He was smart since he was a child, and he was famous for being good at making pottery among tribes near and far when he was young. At the age of fifteen, he was promoted to tribal leader because of his outstanding talent, and was named Tang Hou by Di Ku. Therefore, he and his tribe are also called "Taoxia", or Tang Yao for short. Besides Fang, his descendants include Tao, Liu and surnamed tang. In 2357 BC, Yao, who was only 20 years old, succeeded as the monarch of Huaxia vassal state in the Central Plains, became the leader of the medieval tribal alliance, and was honored as one of the five emperors by later generations. He reigned for 98 years, died in the fourth year of Xin (2259 BC), and was buried in Yangcheng Gulin (now Dingtao County, Shandong Province) at the age of 1 18. Emperor Yao is the ancestor of Chinese culture (the recorded history of China began in the period of Emperor Yao) and the ancestor of Fang family in China. During its reign, it was called "the prosperous time of Tang Yao", and the idiom "Tian Yao obeyed Japan" was circulated.
Emperor Yao gave birth to ten sons: Ming Jian (premature death), Dani, Kaiming, Qi Ming, Yin Ming, Jueming, Lieming, Huiming, Yuanming and Shao Kang. As his adopted son, Zhu Dan was born red all over, so he was named "Dani" (meaning "red on the top"). Dani is very clever (Yao Di's brother Fang Qi called him "Qi Ming") and has great wisdom. He is the ancestor of the world of Weiqi, and is said to be the first Weiqi master in history. ".But he is strong in personality, resolute in doing things, disobedient ("stubborn ") and politically wise, and is regarded as a corrupt official ("corrupt ") by Yao. At that time, disasters occurred frequently in the world, and "the people of the world also ruled the world." In order to have a successor to lead everyone to overcome natural disasters, Yao focused on cultivating Shun, who was quiet, restrained and had a strange filial piety, and finally gave up the throne to Shun, who made great contributions later. This is the beginning of abdication system, and it is also a model of making the country "public" from generation to generation. Therefore, Fan Zhongyan, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem in praise: "The ages are like the sun, majestic and good, and Yu eventually leveled the water, and Shun also caused the wind. Outside the river and the sea, the villagers didn't know about it, so they beat drums to give thanks. "
Dan Zhugong was first sealed in Danshui, and his fief is in today's Henan. Because he is the eldest son of Emperor Yao, there is also a "eldest son county" in Henan, also known as "Danzhu Town" and "Danzhu Avenue". According to "History of Roads and Country Names", it is recorded that Emperor Yao collapsed, and Emperor Yushun was sealed in the house (in this old city, forty miles southwest of Suiping), "worship it, offer it, add ceremony and music, call the son of heaven to Bin, offer it ..."; The Chronicle of Bamboo Slips (the oldest bamboo slip history book in China) says that "Dan Zhu (Zhu) abides by the house" and that Dan Zhu respects his father's life and makes the world smooth, but he is far away from the house. Later generations also wrote a couplet on the statue of Yao Emperor in Hulong Cave, Zhangjiajie, explaining Yao's mentality of making this contradictory choice: "If you want to put it in the tiger's den, you will worry about the lonely dragon building." This shows that because of "abdication", Shundi did not dare to treat Danzhu and his family as subordinates, but showed courtesy to the housekeeper.
At the same time, in the Yao era, another function of Go was divination. Yao gave way to Shun, but passed on his chess skills to his beloved son Dan Zhu. Some people in later generations called Yao's move "to make Shun king and grant Danzhu divine right". The chronicles of bamboo books call it "Emperor Danzhu". Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Bei Jing said that when Dayu was in charge of water control, many quadrangular pyramid buildings were built: "Yao Di Terrace, Di Ku Terrace, Dizhu Dantai and Shun Di Terrace, each with two sets of quadrangles, in the northeast of Kunlun." "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Nan Jing" said: "Cangwu Mountain, Shun Di was buried in Yang, and Emperor Danzhu was buried in Yin." Dani did not practice the throne, but he enjoyed the title of emperor, which shows that his position at that time was lofty.
After the attack, the tomb of Danzhuzu took the fief as its surname, which was called Fang Ling in history and was the ancestor of Fang. His descendants were named Fang. Therefore, the history book says: "The grandson of Emperor Yao got his surname because of the city."
After obtaining the surname, the housekeeper clan gradually became stronger, and the court in Xia and Shang Dynasties did not dare to treat it lightly. During the Zhou Dynasty, there were many marriages between the royal family and the housekeeper of the Zhou Dynasty. "Guoyu Zhou Yu" says: "Zhao Haoqi was married to a mansion, and after the mansion was married, she had great virtue, which was in harmony with Dan Zhu. Dani gave birth to Mu Wang with his body. " Huang Fang, the wife of King Zhao of Zhou, was possessed by her ancestor Dan Zhu and gave birth to Zhou Muwang. Zhou Muwang was one of the most famous kings in the Zhou Dynasty. It can be seen that the custodian of Zhou is respected because it started in Danzhuke and can be traced back to Emperor Yao.
Sun Zhongfang, the 36th generation of Danzhu, was still called "Fang Houyi" when Zhou Zhaowang lived, and his ovaries were gloomy. Fang Shen 1 1 Daisun was an ordinary planter, and 12 was the magistrate of Qinghe (now the east of Qinghe County, Hebei Province) in 32 BC (the end of the Western Han Dynasty). The Fang family began to settle here and became a noble family. Later, Fang Jingbo lived in Liang Wudi (AD 502-557) in Qinghe Southern Dynasty. And because of the "Lingyange" on the portrait, "Qinghe County" became the most important county of Fang (the most important county of Fang was originally Fang Yi, Henan Province, and Dayu was destroyed by the flood when he was controlling water), and there were:
Look at the Qinghe River.
Ge Jiasheng, Ling Ze, Qinghe City
And the saying that "there are seven Liu, eight Zhang and twelve kings, and there are no second houses in the world" (referring to the fact that there are many physical surnames such as Liu, Zhang and Wang, and there is only one source of house surnames-Sun Fangling and Emperor Yao).
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties or even earlier, the Fang family in Qinghe, as a local aristocratic family, maintained good relations with aristocratic families such as Cui Shi in Qinghe. By the end of the 4th century AD, the Fang family in Qinghe, the Cui Shi family in Qinghe, the Liu family in Pingyuan and the Feng family in Bohai moved to Shandong Peninsula because of the war, and became the upper family of Murong family in Southern Yan State. The Fang family was not involved in the struggle between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Liu Song in Shandong Peninsula. Until 469 years ago, their attitude towards being an official was erratic: they wanted to maintain their strength and survive the troubled autumn, but they showed strong cohesion in the face of intruders who went deep into Shandong. Until the 5th century, Qinghe Fangshi was always an aristocrat in the sense of "aristocratic family", not an aristocratic family. ....
After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties suppressed the traditional gentry (aristocrats) politically, and replaced the official selection system based on family status and family status with "opening offices to recruit scholars" in employment. In this way, the gentry named Fang can't be honest and upright, and their marriage can't be high, so their political status and social level are reduced and degraded.
In the 6th century A.D., a great man finally appeared among the clansmen named Fang who had been dormant for a long time. He is Fang, a famous figure in the early Tang Dynasty and one of the top ten saints in China. Fang (579-648), whose real name is Joe, was renamed "Yuanling" in the history books and related materials rebuilt/compiled in the Qing Dynasty, which is the same as the name of "Fang's Yuanling" in Qinghe, a royal princess in the early Tang Dynasty. A native of Linzi, Jizhou (now northeast of Zibo). Young policemen are sensitive, knowledgeable about classics and history, good at writing, and have a literary talent of "relying on Ma Licheng". /kloc-at the age of 0/8, he was promoted to Jinshi, awarded a captain of Feather Ride and saved the school secretary. The assistant minister of the official department was kind to people, saying that Pei Ju said, "Those who are not so handsome with many servants and people should be regarded as national instruments, but I hate to see them sad and lofty. (Later people called it "the eye of the dragon, the eye of the phoenix, ranking among the three." ) ("The Book of the New Tang Dynasty") During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the world was mixed. It was said that Sui Zuo and Mi Bai Fu said: "There is no merit in the world, only Zhou Zhi is involved, and there are artifacts. If you don't make long-term plans for your children and grandchildren, you will be arrogant and will eventually be destroyed by internal affairs. Although it is flat today. If you die, you will die. " During the rebellion at the end of Sui Dynasty, he returned to Li Shimin in Weibei, served as the secretary of Wang Fu, the king of Qin, and went to war from the king of Qin for many times to recruit talents and help Li Shimin pacify the throne. Li Shimin praised his contribution to the country. Together with 23 other founding heroes in the early Tang Dynasty, he was painted by Sheng Yan and enshrined in Lingyange. He made great achievements as a scholar, and Lingyange on the Portrait was highly praised by scholars. Li He, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, lamented in the poem South Garden:
Why don't men take Wu Gou? Fifty states in Guanshan.
Please go to see the paintings of the founder heroes with pictures. Another scholar was once called the aristocrat of a million families?
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Liang Gong was the seal, and he was appointed as the secretary of the Central Committee and the assistant minister of Shangshu. He has been in charge of government affairs for 20 years. Participating in the formulation of laws and regulations made the laws of the Tang Dynasty more relaxed and complete than those of the previous dynasties, and laid the oldest and most complete feudal criminal code in China, which had a great influence on later generations. Presided over the revision of national history and edited Twenty-four History of the Book of Jin; Launched the Li Tang with Wei Zhi; Adjusting government institutions and mobilizing provincial and central officials is the first step of good governance; Good at employing people, Dont Ask For Help, not seeking dignity, appointing people on their merits; Abide by your duties and take no credit. Later generations took him and Du Ruhui as good examples. For example, "Old Tang Book" praised: the text contains latitude and longitude, supplemented by deep understanding. Sheng Qing is homophonic, only Fang and Du. Because Ling Xuan is good at planning, such as decision-making, history calls Fang Du Duan.
Li Shimin was also an accomplished writer. His poems were 89 in the whole Tang Dynasty. He once gave Feng Wei a metaphor and gave it to Gong Fang. He praised Fang with poetry and encouraged the public to seek talents for the country: Taiye is a fairy boat, and the West Garden attracts talents. Before the train sign, the rooster announced the dawn early. He once again gave Fang a poem:
The autumn dew is high and the palm is high, and the light is faint. The beauty is uneven and the cymbals are shining. Fairy control follows the spin, and Lingwu follows the shadow. The color of the wave is fixed, and there is a round glow in the gap. When you were a sunflower, you would depend on each other.
The founding emperor wrote poems for ministers three times, which shows that he relied heavily on Xuan.
After Ling Xuan's death, Zhao Wen of posthumous title was named Taizong Hall. Minister Tang is also a famous calligrapher, Chu Suiliang. In three years, Tang Yonghui carved a square tablet for the cemetery, with an inscription of more than 2,000 words. One of the most famous words is:
Daoguang kept the piano vibrating for a long time, while Fang Siyu played the flute of Feng Xian.
Pi Rixiu, a litterateur in the Tang Dynasty, assisted Fang and Du Ruhui in his early years for the purpose of making meritorious deeds. He generously said in seven love poems and Du Fang's two countries:
I love my family, I love Du Fu, and I am poor. In troubled times, the scepter belongs to God. Master mathematics in vertical and horizontal directions and control the affairs of the world. Dirty and invincible, aboveboard. Beauty is a famous public official, but it is true that she was slaughtered. In the thirty years of Huangge, the breeze will stay forever. A big industry in the history of the country, Daxun Town, Wang Fu. Later, it was circulated to later generations, and it has been circulated by Tao Zhu to this day. Guangdong and my country are less ambitious and dare to go ahead. If you are at the same time, you are willing to hold the whip.
Moreover, when commenting on the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, later historians all ranked Fang as the first, saying that "Tang Sheng came first, followed by Yao and Song". Liu Fang, a native of the Tang Dynasty, once sighed, "Fang assisted Taizong to decide the world, and the final phase. Thirty-two years, the world title Xianxiang. However, there is no trace to be found, and Germany is coming. Therefore, Taizong set a disaster and Fang Lingxuan did not say his own merits; Wang Jue and Wei Zhengshan remonstrated, and Fang Lingxuan praised his sages; Li Jingshan will be a soldier before going his own way; Make the world omnipotent * * * to help Taizong, manage peace, and be kind to others. What a sage! Although Fang holds an important position, he is not arrogant. He started from the beginning to the end, so he has the name of a wise man! " Liu Fang's comments are just right. Later, when Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty wrote this historical commentary, they copied all the words above.
There are "five generations and three phases" in Fang: four generations, Sun Xianghe, and two cases. At this time, Fang Jia was full of youth and incomparable brilliance.
After the mid-Tang Dynasty, due to the decline of the Fang branch, the clan of Fang surname still maintained the lofty and arrogant attitude of the traditional gentry as a whole, did not adjust their thinking in time to take various exams, and did not do business properly. Instead, most of them chose the passive attitude of seclusion in the countryside, which eventually led to the fact that most people surnamed Fang were "farmers" after the middle Tang Dynasty, and talents in "scholars", "workers" and "businessmen" were scattered everywhere.
After China's surname entered the contemporary era, it was impossible for him to get the support of his family by striving for self-improvement. Only through personal efforts, a large number of outstanding talents have emerged in various industries. Everyone is extremely proud of the family name and generally supports and actively participates in family root-seeking activities. It's not hard to believe that with the concerted efforts of Qi Xin from all over the country, Fangjia will finally have the hope of revival!
