Boy, do you know how much contribution the Qian family made to the unification of China in history?

Since the core of Qian Liu's Jiangnan culture is the Wuyue culture of the Five Dynasties, the "Hundred Family Surnames" compiled by the Song Dynasty ranked the Qian family second only to the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties, which shows that the world's understanding of the Qian family Affirmation of the family’s feelings about home and country.

Because of Qian Liu's outstanding military exploits, he was awarded the Iron Coupon and Golden Book from the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as the death-free card. There are countless "iron coupons" given by Chinese dynasties. However, with the changes of history, most of them disappeared. Only Qian Liu's iron coupons and golden books have been miraculously preserved after thousands of years of hardships: by Descendants of the Qian family in Changle, Shengzhou, Zhejiang, donated it to the country and became a first-class precious cultural relic in the National Museum for display to the world.

In 895, the Tang Dynasty appointed Qian Liu as an envoy to eastern Zhejiang to attack Dong Chang. In 897, Qian Liu was successful in attacking Dong Chang. Tang Zhaozong specially gave him a "gold book and iron coupon". The iron coupon was shaped like a tile, with a middle dome hanging down the side, and a texture like green jade, with 350 gold characters embedded on it.

After Qian Liu quelled the war, he maintained local peace, established the Wuyue Kingdom, and made Hangzhou its capital for more than 80 years, creating a pattern of "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below" and a distinctive Jiangnan water town culture. King Qian's kindness and wisdom enabled West Lake to resolve the "thousand-year disaster". According to records, at that time, the central government allowed Qian Liu to build a royal palace. Mr. Feng Shui believed that filling in the West Lake to build the royal palace was the best choice. The place had good feng shui and a royal aura, and the Qian family could enjoy a thousand-year history. Qian Liu firmly disagreed and said: "The people live on the lake water. Without water, there are no people. Why do I need Wang Qi?" Not only did he not fill in the West Lake, he also recruited 7,000 "Liao Qian Army" to specialize in the West Lake and other areas. For the dredging work of the water area, later generations wrote a poem that "left the green waves of the West Lake rolling over" to praise King Qian.

Qian Liu expanded Hangzhou three times, greatly broadening the scope of Hangzhou city. The 99 wells in the "Baijingfang Lane" left in Hangzhou were dug by King Qian, so they are commonly known as "Qian Wangjing". At the same time, Qian Liu developed the economy, cultivated agriculture and mulberry trees, opened up maritime transportation, expanded trade, and built Hangzhou into a "paradise on earth" with "the richest people in the world". According to historical records, there were only 15,380 registered households in Hangzhou at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

He sent his sixth son Qian Yuanhuang (886-942 AD) to garrison. Yuanhuang loved gardens the most. He governed Suzhou for 30 years and was quite politically influential. In particular, his contribution to the construction of gardens in Suzhou was passed down to future generations. Guan Xiu, a poet of the Five Dynasties, once wrote a poem praising Qian Liudao, "One sword frosted fourteen states" and he became a hero for a while.

At the age of 81, Qian Liu died of illness in Hangzhou, and his posthumous name was Wu Su. His last words were that "his descendants should do good to China", "if they meet God, they should quickly return to God", and set down the "Eight Instructions", etc., which were later translated into the famous "Qian Family Instructions", which benefited his descendants for a long time and led to the emergence of talents. Later generations praised Qian Liu's achievements, and Su Dongpo wrote the article "Explaining Loyalty". There are many temples dedicated to him in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty once said: "Since the Five Dynasties, Duqiantang has known respect for China and served his ministers obediently. Even if he died, he bowed his head to ask for orders and did not bother to fight. Now his people are happy, prosperous and happy."
