How did Zhuge Liang’s descendants get to Guilin?

The local "Zhuge Family Genealogy" records that at the end of the Song Dynasty, Duke Zhuge Long moved from Xiangyang to Lihuo Village on South Guilin Road (today's Lihuo Village, Huixian Town, Lingui County). Duke Zhuge Long had three sons, Zhonghao, Zhongxian and Zhongqin. His descendants have thrived in the local area and have moved to 160 natural villages in Yangshuo, Lingui, Lipu and Fuchuan. Currently, there are about 16,000 people.

In fact, the descendant of Zhuge Liang who first came to Guangxi was not Duke Zhuge Long, but Zhuge Qixiao during the Jin Dynasty. According to the "Yangshuo County Chronicle": "In the Jin Dynasty, Zhuge Qixiao, the descendant of Kong Ming, was loyal to the Jin emperor. The emperor dreamed that Teng Ge would surround the palace, which was suspicious and appointed him to Guangdong. When traveling in Guangxi, I saw Baisha Village (today's Baisha, Yangshuo County). "Zhenbaisha Village) is a place where you can build a house, so you can live in Yan." "Unfortunately, since the "Yangshuo County Chronicle" records that Zhuge Qixiao came to live in Guangxi, there is no information about Zhuge Qixiao's descendants in the existing "Zhuge Family Genealogy". , it is difficult to see this aspect in other history books. "Zhuge Yi, the 26th grandson of Duke Zhuge Long, said that this is also where they are confused - comparing the genealogy of Lanxi Village in Zhejiang, from Zhuge Qixiao to Duke Zhuge Long, The records of 17 generations are lost. What happened? It is difficult to verify now.

After Duke Zhuge Long came to Guangxi, most of Zhuge Liang's descendants moved out of Cuiping Village. At present, all the villagers in Cuiping Village have the surname Zhuge.

According to local people, Cuiping Village is located under the valley of Phoenix Mountain, occupying a good "feng shui treasure land". According to Zhuge Baoman, the person in charge of "Today's Yangshuo", Cuiping Village is also laid out according to the principles of Bagua.

Therefore, the descendants of Zhuge Liang in Guangxi believe that their ancestor is Duke Zhuge Long. When they talk about how many generations of Zhuge Liang they are, they can only start from Duke Zhuge Long.
