Urgently ask for information about the bronze statue of Zheng Chenggong in Quanzhou
It is 7.96 meters high and weighs more than 200 tons.
Morning News (Reporter Zhu) Yesterday, Tainan City held a grand ceremony to unveil the statue from Quanzhou.
347 years ago, the national hero Zheng Chenggong led tens of thousands of heroes to land in Tainan, which opened a new chapter in the history of expelling Dutch invaders and restoring and developing Taiwan Province Province.
After a lapse of 347 years, Quanzhou organized a delegation for the first time and set off for Tainan on April 28th to participate in the annual "Zheng Chenggong Cultural Festival" series of activities.
The reporter learned that the whole state presented Tainan Zheng Chenggong statue, which is 7.96 meters high and weighs more than 200 tons.
This statue is dignified and elegant, with the knife-shaped eyebrows raised, eyes looking out, wearing an iron helmet, a battle shirt, a sword at the waist, a left hand akimbo, a right hand clutching the hilt, two feet stepping on the stirrups, straddling the back of a wild war horse, and the battle shirt fluttering in the wind, which is quite dynamic.
The whole statue (excluding the pedestal) consists of 10 pieces of Quanzhou white granite with different sizes.
This giant stone carving of Zheng Chenggong riding a horse, which was funded by Quanzhou people and presented to Tainan City in the name of Quanzhou people, was completed and boxed on April 14. It was transported from the eastern port to Tainan City by Xiamen route ship and placed on the lawn next to Wangmiao, Yanping County, Kaishan Road, Tainan City.
The Statue of Zheng Chenggong from Quanzhou to Tainan says: Ren Quan erected a bronze statue of Yanping in Dapingshan, which was admired by many people and held high.
This paper re-carves its stone statue as a gift to Tainan, and stands beside the temple built on Kaishan Road to show the legacy of Wang in the Taiwan Strait and increase the relationship between the two cities and heroes.
It is reported that Tainan City is the birthplace of Taiwan's historical development.
Tainan began to hold the "Zheng Chenggong Cultural Festival" in 2002, and it is now the seventh time.
Editor's note of related links: In recent years, Zheng Chenggong's academic research has made quite important discoveries and gratifying achievements. Here is a brief introduction for readers.
One of the great discoveries is that Zheng He of Zhang Puying and Zheng of Nan 'an Shijing may be brothers.
■ Unsolved Mystery: Are Da Degong and Yin Shigong the same person? Zheng Chenggong's early ancestors were discovered! In April 2005, people from Yanping Branch of Quanzhou Zheng Chenggong Academic Research Association published this important new discovery of Zheng Chenggong's research in China through Southeast Morning Post.
This is a mysterious page uncovered by Zhang Puying's Zheng genealogy in Qing Dynasty.
According to textual research, the founders of Zheng's Yingli in Zhangpu and Zheng's Ishii in Nan 'an may be brothers.
This genealogy shows how its ancestors came from Quanzhou, from Quanzi to Zhangpu, and from Zhangpu to Pupu. One of them, Introduction to Genealogy, also mentioned that Zheng Chenggong once told his relatives "descendants of Gai Qingyuan".
To study Zheng Chenggong, we must study his predecessor.
Ishii's ancestor was Yin Shigong, who passed on to the 12 generation and gave birth to Zheng Chenggong.
Yin Shigong, in the early Southern Song Dynasty, moved south from Fujian as an official, first living in Wurong, Quanjun County, and then moved to Shijing, the seaside.
Eight buckets of cultivated land
After the guidance of geographers, they exchanged eight buckets of land for five stone mountains, namely the foothills of Aoshi Mountain and Budi Mountain, and built houses and homes.
Therefore, the Book of Stone has been rumored since ancient times that eight fights were exchanged for five stones. Hidden stones led their families to open up wasteland for agriculture and also made a living by herding sheep in grinding bean curd.
Since then, Ishii has lived by the sea.
Ishii can be traced back to Yin Shigong's ancestors before I, and can barely be traced back to Yin Shigong's grandfather.
According to records, his grandfather's tomb was in Wurong, which was later Fengzhou.
In 2004, Xiamei (formerly Fengzhou) discovered the tombstone of Grandfather Zheng. The inscription reads "Zheng Gongqian, the ancestor of Shi Mingjing", which was built during the reign of Kangxi Weixin, and a grave was found near the tombstone.
Grandpa Yinshi's tombstone was also carried to Shijing for protection.
According to the genealogy of Yingli in Zhangpu, the fifth ancestor of Zheng Jinmin is Lin Zhigong, and it is mentioned that "there are four virtues, Wende, Huide, Dade and Guangde ... Chang Wende lives in Puwei social base in the old city, Erhuide lives in Guxian social base in Zhangzhou, the three virtues live in Shijing social base in Quanzhou, and Siguangde has opened a base in the old city port ...".
This leads to a mystery. Who is Gong Dade? Is it the same person as Yin Shigong, the ancestor of Ishii Keiji recorded in his genealogy? Zheng He of Zhang Puying and Zheng Kaiji of Nan 'an Shijing may be brothers.
The discovery of Zheng genealogy in Zhangpu is still a mystery, which needs to be studied and explored by experts.
Ishii's genealogy only records that the ancestors came from Wu Rong, but there is no mention of information above the ancestors. The genealogy of Zheng family in Zhangpu made up for this vacancy.
The genealogy of Zheng family in Zhangpu recorded the activities in Zhangzhou, and also reflected some specific situations of the border movement and Kangxi's resumption of the border during the Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty. Historical materials are very precious.
Because the move to the border was extremely vicious, the Qing court kept it a secret, so some history books and scripts were hidden or tampered with, resulting in unclear records.
The genealogy of Zheng family in Zhangpu can provide people with first-hand historical materials in this respect.
The genealogy of Zheng family in Zhangzhou camp also recorded in detail: "My four virtues, my father Wen Qingong, went to Shijing with Dade, and the tomb was dug and destroyed by Haicheng Gong, which made me hate success. Several Miao people vowed not to marry Huang, and the offenders would be damned.
That is to say, because his ancestral grave was destroyed, he gnashed his teeth and told him not to marry Huang. "。
Xu He and Zheng Xinxin of Quanzhou Academic Research Association said that some so-called ancestral records appeared from time to time in China, but after careful verification, many records lacked authenticity.
After textual research, Zhang Pu Yingli Zheng's genealogy is considered to be more authentic and reliable, and its discovery is even more significant than that discovered in 2002, which will surely cause a sensation effect. This historical material needs further study and excavation by domestic experts who study Zheng Chenggong.
It is understood that the place name of "Yingli" in Zhangpu was named "Yingli" because of Zheng Chenggong's camp.
The second major discovery is that the ancestors of Chenggong in Zheng Zheng can be traced back to Fengzhou.
■ Unsolved mystery: Who is buried in the "Gong Zheng Tomb" guarded by grave keepers for generations? In August 2007, Quanzhou Zheng Chenggong Academic Research Association published this important discovery of Zheng Chenggong's research through Southeast Morning Post.
In the interview, the reporter learned that Zheng Ren had come to Nan 'an Fengzhou for many times. According to textual research, Zheng Chenggong's ancestors can be traced back to the social altar in Fengzhou, Nan 'an.
The Zheng genealogy collected from Jinmen, Zhangpu and Nan 'an gradually uncovered the truth.
More than 700 years ago, their ancestors walked out from here; Seven hundred years later, the genealogy of later generations traces back to the same origin.
Pedigree after pedigree has been proved again and again--zheng's theory that fengzhou came out.
This year, Zhangzhou cultural celebrity Zheng Huicong also wrote a long article, which was verified.
The reporter learned in the field interview that there are only a few Zheng families left in Fengzhou's social circle.
People in some places wanted to look for Zheng in the Fengzhou Social Forum to solve the mystery of history, but they didn't find it.
Zheng Wanquan of Shetan Village said that in fact, there is Zheng in Fengzhou Shetan.
Just like their family, there are eight or nine people in the family.
In addition, several people in the village used to be surnamed Zheng, but later they changed their surnames, and everyone else moved out.
In fact, Zheng Wanquan's family is the grave keeper who has stayed in the community for generations.
Unfortunately, there is no Zheng family tree in Fengzhou community.
In front of the ancestral hall of the Zheng family, there is an ancient flagpole clip. The older generation said it was left by the Ming Dynasty, and it was obviously a flagpole clip used by military attache.
Every Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, July 30th, winter solstice and "Seven Mothers and Eight Mothers", Zheng Wanquan's family will go to Zucuo to "worship their parents".
No one knows who is buried in Zheng Gong's grave guarded by Zheng Wanquan's family.
Zheng Wanquan said that he only knew that this was the tomb of Gong Zu.
Who is in the tomb has also become a big mystery, which needs further research.
When was Gong Zheng's Tomb built? Zheng Wanquan is still unclear.
He said that what can be calculated now is that at least seven generations in the family are guarding this tomb, and it is estimated that earlier generations are also guarding it, but it is impossible to trace it back that long.
Zheng Wanquan and others led the reporter through the longan forest, passed Jiang Xiang's tomb and saw Gong Zheng's tomb not far away.
The tombstone reads "Chengtan Gongzhengzu Tomb" without a specific name.
According to reports, the city altar, homophonic with the "social altar", should be the place name here.
There is also a grave next to Gong Zheng's tomb, which reads "Be thrifty and prudent in fasting Gong Zheng for fifty cents".
After identification, Mr. Wang Zan of Fengzhou thought it should be the husband and wife's tomb in Qing Dynasty. Women in ancient times were often nameless, and "frugality" was not necessarily Wu's name, but Mao Zhai's name, which had the name characteristics of that era and was named after "Zhai" in fashion.
Zheng Wanquan said that their family is guarding Gong Zheng's tomb on the left.
And the grave on the right is probably the grave of the grave keeper.
The reporter got the news yesterday that the Zheng ancestral hall in Fengzhou social altar will be repaired.
