Who is Richang Gong of Luo Family Yuzhang Hall?
According to relevant information: The Luo surname ranks 22nd in the population of China today, accounting for approximately 0.86 of the country's Han population, with an estimated population of approximately 10 million. The surname Luo is also found in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as in South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries.
The descendants of the Luo family have flourished for generations, even though their footprints have traveled all over the country, inside and outside the Great Wall, and even though they have migrated to foreign countries all over the world; no matter how the stars change, no matter how time passes, the descendants of the Luo family are scattered everywhere. , all firmly identified Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) as the birthplace of the Luo family in the world, and Luo Zhugong was the ancestor of the Luo family in the world.
Luo Zhugong, courtesy name Huaihan. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was first appointed as the "Government of Millet Internal History" and later changed to the "Da Nong Order". In his later life, he was known as the "Da Nong Gong". Luo Zhu and Guan Ying pacified Jiujiang County. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, "Yuzhang" County was established in Nanchang, where castles were built and Yuzhang trees (camphor trees) were planted around the city. Later descendants were called "Yuzhang Luo family".
"Jiangxi Tongzhi" records: Luo Zhu "followed Guan Ying during the Han Dynasty, pacified Yuzhang, and made meritorious deeds to the people."
According to Luo Longsheng, Luo Xinhui, the 22nd grandson of the Luo family, wrote a preface to "The Luo Family Tree": "The Luo family in Yuzhang began with the Xiong surname of the Yellow Emperor, whose surname was Gongsun. Then it was passed down that Zhuanxu's Gaozong surname and Ji's surname were both There is a holy emperor in the world. Li Hui, a descendant of Zhuanxu, returned to Jilian, and his surname was Mi Xiong. He served Zhou Yougong and took Xiong as his family name. Luo, took the country as his surname. His descendants were scattered among Jiang and Han Dynasties. Luo Huai of the Han Dynasty was the prime minister of Liang. His father was appointed as the magistrate of Wuling. So he was born in Yuzhang. Those who are descendants of Yuzhang are great farmers, and their descendants are very prosperous!"
In memory of Luo Zhu's noble character and outstanding achievements, Sima Guang, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising: "Inside the family. In history, he worked as a farmer, stayed in the marquis and pushed the boss, and granted the marquis the merits. He served in Yuzhang, and he worshiped Yong. Ji, today, is a martyr, he has made great achievements in peace and prosperity, he has lived a long and healthy life, and later achieved prosperity."
For thousands of years, the famous saying "There is no other Luo family in the world" has been passed down from generation to generation. Since the beginning of Luo Zhu, the family has multiplied, the branch development has a clear line, and the family tree has been recorded in a rigorous and orderly manner. It has been more than 70 generations.
At the beginning of the Luo family, each branch had its own name, and there was no unified ranking. By the Song Dynasty, Luo Shengde, the 40th generation descendant, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and set out to unify the Luo family in the world. He wrote his ardent expectations for Luo's descendants into a forty-character five-character poem. "Sheng Yingyi is the king of utility, and Cheng Yan is the uncle. He cultivates the glory with virtue, and restrains blessings with good fortune. When good luck comes, virtuous heirs will show their order. If you are rich, you will be new, and if you have a career, you will always have good fortune." Depend on you, follow the example of our predecessors and become a noble man. Rely on virtue and strive for happiness. Prosperity and luck will come from time to time. The descendants of virtuous people will make progress every day, and their careers and businesses will be prosperous forever.)
Because of Luo Shengde's prominent status and social influence, this five-character poem became the unification of the Luo family. Since then, the descendants of the Luo family scattered throughout the country have basically been named according to the same generation and recorded in the "Luo Family Tree". So far, the descendants of the Luo family all over the country are mainly: Yun, Hui, Shi, Lai, Xian, Si, Xu and other generations.
In the Ming Dynasty, Luo Wenpu, a Confucian tutor, imitated Luo Shengde and wrote a forty-character five-character poem to establish the generation of Luo family. The two combined together account for 80 generations. "Loyalty and filial piety are all powerful, and the name is famous in Yuzhang. The first dynasty is honored. The world is famous for its crown and clothes. The Neo-Confucian scholar is famous far and wide. The country is rich in talents. The spirit is the same as the Shao Shu. Qingyan and Linxiang." (General meaning: Loyalty and filial piety are two things.) The whole family is loyal and famous, and the family of high-ranking officials has been passed down from generation to generation. The reputation of the Neo-Confucian family is long-lasting, and the descendants of talented and intelligent people are prosperous and prosperous. p>
The character generation formulated by Luo Wenpu specifically stated that the Luo family originated from Yuzhang, and "the name is famous in Yuzhang".
Since the first ancestor of the Luo family in Yuzhang, Luo Zhugong, the descendants of the Luo family have gradually migrated all over the world and are scattered throughout Jiuzhou due to officialdom, business, making a living, avoiding disasters and other reasons.
Five counties were gradually formed, namely Yuzhang, Xiangyang, Hedong (Taiyuan), Qijun (Jinan), and Changsha. Today, the Luo people living in six provinces including Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and Guizhou account for about 75% of the total Luo population in the country.
According to ancient history books and Luo family genealogy records in various places, we can roughly see the general situation of Luo family migration in Yuzhang. Taking Yuzhang (Nanchang, Jiangxi) as its birthplace, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, descendants of the Luo family mainly gathered in Xiangyang, Changsha, and Yuzhang, and began to enter Sichuan and then Guizhou.
By the middle of the Tang Dynasty, descendants of the Luo family spread all over Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei, and began to enter Fujian. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, they entered Guangdong from Fujian.
The Luo family moved to Taiwan. The earliest documented records found so far date from the early Yongzheng years of the Qing Dynasty. Luo Shi from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, together with Guo and He, went to Keelung, Taiwan, to cultivate land. In the eighth year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign, Luo Chaozhang, a Cantonese, started farming in Hongmao Township, Hsinchu, Taiwan. In the 11th year of Yongzheng's reign, Luo Hequan, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, reclaimed land in Xinzhuangzi Village, Dongluoxibao, Changhua County, Taiwan. After that, a large number of descendants of the Luo family moved to Taiwan and worked with the local people to build Taiwan and live and multiply. Today the Luo population ranks 18th in Taiwan.
Since the Qing Dynasty, the Luo family, who lived in Meixian, Dabu, Guangdong, and Ninghua, Fujian, have migrated overseas many times. Mainly moved to countries such as Wendo (Indonesia) in the Southeast Asia. Luo Fangbo, whose ancestral home is Shifanbao, Meixian County, Jiaying Prefecture, Guangdong, established a peaceful Lanfang Kingdom in West Borneo (today's Kaliman Island) and implemented the "Lanfang Grand Chief System". The country was founded for 100 years. Eight years (1777~1885 AD). There are currently hundreds of thousands of Luo's descendants living in Southeast Asia such as Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
South Korea is the main country of residence for the overseas descendants of Yuzhang Luo. According to statistics, there are 600,000 descendants of the Ra family living in South Jeolla Province and North Jeolla Province. The Luo family in Korea is divided into two branches: "Jincheng Luo family" and "Luozhou Luo family". Both consider themselves to be descendants of Luo Zhugong in Yuzhang, and both consider Nanchang, Jiangxi, to be the place to trace their roots.
Excerpted from Volume 1 of "Jincheng Luo Family Datong Genealogy" "Surname Yuan Kao": "In the early Han Dynasty, Zhu Gong served Emperor Gaozu for his meritorious service, and was granted the title of Yuzhang Luo Family in Yuzhang County. ... He was defeated by Huang Chao During the chaos, he moved to various places, and all of China's Luo family has one copy."
According to the "Xianxikao" Volume 1 of "Jincheng Luo Family Datong Genealogy", Luo Zhiqiang was the first generation of "Jincheng Luo Family". Luo Zhiqiang, a native of the Tang Dynasty. He once served as Shangshu Zuopushe, concurrently as Shilang, Yushi Zhongcheng, deputy envoy of Huangzhou Tuanlian, and responsible for the whole state's investigation of Sima affairs. There are two theories that Luo Zhiqiang fled to South Korea. One was the court's objection to Tang Taizong's conquest of Goguryeo, and the other was due to the war. Due to the lack of historical data, it is difficult to draw a conclusion.
Luo Zhiqiang sailed to Korea and settled in Faluo County (now Luozhou). Later, he served as Prime Minister Zuo in the Silla court. Luo Zhiqiang held a high official position and was prominent throughout his life. As a result, the family prospered, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and a prosperous population, forming the mighty "Jincheng Luo family".
"Luozhou Luo Family Datong Genealogy" records that Luo Fu is the ancestor of "Luozhou Luo Family". "Old texts record that the founder, Luo Fu, was ordered to go east as an envoy. Before he could return, the Song Dynasty died. He still lived in Xuanxiao and later moved to Luozhou." As an envoy, he traveled east to Korea. Before he could return to his hometown, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, so he still lived in Xuanxing and finally settled in Luozhou. )
The Luozhou Luo Family Datong Genealogy specifically states: "He was originally a Chinese official who came to the east and settled in Luozhou. He served as an official in the Li Dynasty and reached the point where he was the official supervisor of the general, the guard, and the affairs of the family of Jin Ziguanglu. The tomb is located in the Yongzhen cave on the side of Luozhou. "Original."
South Korea's "Miscellaneous Notes on the Original Surname of Li Chao" stated more clearly: Luo Fu was from Nanchang, Jiangxi. "The Luo family came east from Yuzhang, China. There are some rich people who are the generals of the guards of the official prison of Goryeo. They are the ancestors and passed through Luozhou."
Luo Fu was originally a military attache and a member of the Song Dynasty. After the envoy stayed in Korea, he was highly used by the Goryeo court and became prosperous and wealthy. Although they are far away from the motherland, they honor their ancestors and make the Yuzhang Luo family more glorious than a foreign country.
The domestic "Luo Family Genealogy" records that Luo Fu was a native of Luo Village, Donggang, Nanchang, Jiangxi (now Luojia Village, Luojiaji). His father: "Luo Tingzhong, in the first year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty, Ying Maocaiyi and other examination books will be the final judge of Yanzhou." His mother: "Fan, a native of Jinxian County.
"
Luo Fu is the second son of Luo Ting, "Shiping Township Order." In the second year of Daguan, Mingtang En was promoted to Wuqiwei, and Jiayunqiwei was promoted to Feng Yilang. ”
The domestic “Luo Family Genealogy” and the “Luozhou Luo Family Genealogy” are consistent with each other, and the historical chronology, relevant historical materials and legends corroborate each other. The Korean “Luozhou Luo Family” is the Luo Family in Luojia Village, Luojiaji, Nanchang, Jiangxi Descendants and branches.
Between 2006 and 2007, Xiaolan Village (Berlin Luo Family), Liantang Town, Nanchang County, welcomed several delegations of Korean Luo families to trace their roots. The lineage of Zhugong, the ancestor of the world, was passed down to the 16th generation of the ancestor Sui Gong, whose courtesy name was Junzhang. He had two sons: Qisheng, Zunsheng, and Zhongxiao. They were divided into two major branches of the Bolinluo family in Nanchang." It can be seen that Xiaolan Village in Liantang Town is not Yuzhang The earliest birthplace of Luo.
Local chronicles accurately record that the city of Nanchang we are talking about today was "moved from the west of Guancheng to the west of Donghu Taiyiguan in 637 AD (the 11th year of Zhenguan)." The city "migrated westward", so the "Guancheng" built by Luo Zhugong and Guan Ying should be in the area of today's Hufang Township. Therefore, the earliest birthplace of the Yuzhang Luo family should be the Luojiaji area, that is, the Donggang Luo family. . To this day, it is still said that their ancestors lived in "20 miles east of Yuzhang"

There is no other Luo family in the world. Leaving their hometown and wandering in a foreign country, they always remember their ancestors and continue the Luo family tree. They always keep the longing for the "roots" in their hearts, and always maintain the respect for the "birthplace". From this, "Yuzhang Luo family". "Ancestral Hall" has become a holy place for Luo families to worship all over the world. The ancestral hall is the symbol of the clan. The ancients said that "tracing back to the origin is not more important than the ancestral hall", "without the ancestral hall, there is no ancestral hall, and without the ancestral hall, there is no ancestor". In ancient times, people believed that the ancestral hall It is the residence of the souls of ancestors.
The "Yuzhang Luo Ancestral Hall" was built during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, about 150 BC. The founder of Yuzhang, whose name is Zhu, named Huaihan Gong, wrote many academic articles and made them famous. Zuo Han Gao founded the country, governed millet internally, and acted as governor externally. After Guanhou, he actually built the city. I hope that he will have great honors, and he will be known as the Great Yin, so that he can make his home in Yuzhang. Later, his descendants were beautiful, loyal and filial, and they became known as the "Yuzhang Family".
The Taiwei Zhou Yafu reported his achievements in building Yuzhang City, and was ordered to build a temple to worship Ming Ming. ”
Taiwei Zhou Yafu (son of Zhou Bo), who was “less than one person and more than ten thousand people”, submitted a proposal, and the emperor approved the decree. This shows the high status of the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall". Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty The imperial poem for the "Luo Family Ancestral Hall in Yuzhang" says: "The Luo Family Ancestral Hall, with cypresses and silk hangings in the Jin and Tang dynasties, did not relocate its ancestors in the first dynasties, and it has always been like this throughout the ages."
In the seventh year of Taiping's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 974). Years), the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" was rebuilt due to its decadence.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" was destroyed by war.
Since the 19th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. In the second year of Daoguang (AD 1822), the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" was relocated and rebuilt, becoming a grand sight.
In the sixth year of Tongzhi (AD 1868), the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" was rebuilt. .
In 1931, the descendants of the Luo family raised funds and the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" was rebuilt again.
The copy of the "property certificate" issued by the government during the Republic of China still exists in the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall". "Luo Family Genealogy". Due to historical reasons, the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" has long since disappeared. According to the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall Property Certificate", its original location is: east of Zigu Road (from the intersection of Minde Road to "Fuhui Building"). ; To the south is Minde Road (Nanchang Second Massage Hospital and most of the Home Cooking Restaurant; to the west is Fenghuangpo Primary School; to the north is the wall of Fuhui Building), covering an area of about 10 acres.
The "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" is the root of the Luo Family in the world. There are also two important "Luo Family Ancestral Halls" that are important witnesses of the division of the Luo Family: "Chengkan Luo Family Ancestral Hall" and "Shibi Luo Family Ancestral Hall".
1. Chengkan Luo Clan Ancestral Hall
The Chengkan Luo Clan Ancestral Hall in Huangshan City, Anhui Province is large in scale and beautifully decorated. It imitates the rules of Qufu Confucius Temple and other regulations, with four courtyards and symmetrical axes. , is the most outstanding representative of Chinese ancestral temple architecture. It was listed as a "National Cultural Relics Protection Unit" in the 1960s.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Duke Wenchang and Duke Qiuyin, the founders of the Chengkanluo family, fled with their families from Nanchang, Jiangxi to avoid the Huangchao rebellion. Seeing that everything in this place was harmonious and the feng shui was excellent, he settled down there. The Luo brothers were familiar with Feng Shui theory and changed the original name "Longxi" to "Chengkan". The entire village is sited and laid out according to the Bagua Feng Shui theory in the Book of Changes: "Yin (Kan), Yang (Cheng), the two qi are unified, and nature and man are one." It is located close to mountains and rivers, forming three streets and ninety-nine lanes. Like a maze. The Chengkanluo family flourished in the three dynasties of Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, with high-ranking officials, hermits, wealthy businessmen, poets, painters, eminent monks, etc., all of them leading the way. The "Luo Family Genealogy" records that there were more than 110 officials in the Ming Dynasty alone. Zhu Xi praised in the preface of "Luo Family Genealogy" that "the Jinshi family has a distinguished family and is the first in the literature of She".
2. Shibi Luo Clan Ancestral Hall
Luo Lingji (688-777), the ancestor of the Hakka Luo family, was the 25th descendant of Luo Zhugong in Yuzhang. His great-grandfather Luo Wanfa moved from Shaxian County to Huangliandong during the Kaihuang period of Sui Dynasty (580-600). Luo Lingji collaborated with Wu Luojun and led a group of people to clear up wasteland, open mountains and cut trees, and devoted themselves to the development of Huanglian. Huanglian was established as a town in the second year of Qianfeng of the Tang Dynasty (667). In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725), the town was promoted to a county. Tianbaoyuan In 742, Huanglian County was renamed Ninghua County.
Ninghua is still in its infancy, with a vast territory, sparsely populated areas and beautiful mountains and clear waters. Luo families from all over the country are gradually gathering in Ninghua. For example: in the fifth year of Qianfu of the Tang Dynasty (878), Luo Yizhen, the 32nd Zhugong of Yuzhang, moved with his son Luo Jingxin from Xishan, Nanchang to Qianhua County, Qianzhou (now Ningdu County, Ganzhou) to avoid the Huangchao Rebellion. Within a few decades, he moved to Ningshibi Village, Tingzhou, Fujian Province and settled there. During the war in the Yuan Dynasty, Luo Shangli, the 45th Duke of Zhugong in Yuzhang, moved from Qianzhou to Ninghuanshibi Village, Tingzhou, Fujian to make a living.
Luo Lingji was the hero of the founding of Ninghua County, Fujian Province, and Ninghua, Fujian Province was the center of the Luo family's migration in the south. Later, all Luo families in Guangdong and Taiwan came from this place, such as Shunde, Nanhai, Panyu, Heyuan, Chengxiang (Meixian), Xingning, Changle (Wuhua), Guishan (Boluo), Longchuan, etc. "Jiaying Prefecture Chronicle" says: "The heroic resistance of the people of Meizhou against the Yuan Dynasty is a ruin. People from Fujian and Guangdong migrated to Meizhou at the same time, and Ninghua was the most common. All relatives and friends who asked about their ancestors all came from Ninghua. "Fossil Wall Man." The British missionary Ken Bell also said in his article "The Origin and Migration of Hakkas" published in 1912: "Nine out of ten Hakkas in Lingdong claim that their ancestors came from Ninghua County, Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian. People from Shibi Village".
Ninghua Hushubi is the ancestral home of the Hakkas in the world. Ninghua is known as the "Ancestral Land of the Hakkas" and the "Cradle of the Hakkas". From this, Ninghua spreads and is scattered in more than 80 countries and regions on the five continents of the world. There are 120 million people of Hakka descent in the region, of whom more than 4.6 million are Taiwan compatriots. Descendants of the Yuzhang Luo family are the earliest and most important group of pioneers and developers of Ning Shibi. Therefore, Shibi is also the ancestral home of the Hakka Luo family in the world.
The "Shibi Luo Family Ancestral Temple" was originally built in the second year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty (924). It was passed down to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and moved to this site. It has been more than 600 years ago. The "Shibi Luo Clan Ancestral Temple" is the only main ancestral hall of the Hakka Luo family in Shibi, and is also the main ancestral hall of the Hakka Luo family in the world. There is a memorial hall for the ancestor Luo Lingji in the main hall.

Ancestral halls often have a "hall name", which is actually a name for family division. For example: In the late Tang Dynasty, Luo Lingze, Minister of War, moved from Tonglu in northwest Zhejiang to Cixi in northeast Zhejiang. Jing Luo Ling of the Luo family in Cixi is the "founding ancestor of the Luo family in Cixi", and his ancestral hall is known as "Jade Hall". "Jade Hall" is the name of Cixi Luo family. List some of the "tang numbers" of Luo's branches in Yuzhang, so as to "see the whole thing at a glance".
Yuzhang Hall, Zunyao Hall: the names of the direct descendants of Luo family in Yuzhang. Yuzhang was originally the county commander of the Luo family, so he took the title of commander in chief. During the Song Dynasty, Luo Congyan, a native of Yuzhang, was a disciple of the great Confucians Chen Yi and Cheng Hao. Luo Congyan strictly followed his teacher's teachings, lived in seclusion and did not serve as an official. He spread Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism widely and wrote "Zun Yao Lu".
Because of Luo Congyan's high moral character and far-reaching influence, his direct descendant of the Luo family was also called Zunyao Hall.
Berlin Hall: The hall name of Berlin Luo Family in Nanchang. Bolin Gong, whose given name was Tang and whose courtesy name was Gongxiu, was the thirteenth descendant of Zhu Gong and the founder of the Bolin Luo family in Nanchang. He lived in Sizhou, Wuyang when he was young. He moved to Beilin because of his dream of cypress trees, and planted cypress trees around his house. After a few years, cypress trees gradually became forests, so the north was changed to cypress trees. Luo Tang once worked with Xu Xun to control floods and was well-known everywhere. So his descendants were called "Berlin".
Mingdetang: The hall name of the Luo family in Yuzhang, Dabu, which is a branch of the Hakka Luo surname. According to the meeting record of the Luo family's main ancestral hall "Mingde Hall" in the sixth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1801): "Our clan spread from Yuzhang to the Song Dynasty, from Fujian to Guangdong, and scattered to all directions. Each generation has its own family and each clan has its ancestors. , although they come from the same source, they cannot be connected...". Later, there was a move to build the Luo family's main ancestral hall "Mingde Hall" in Tai Po. According to records, there are 18 sects and clans that serve as chief ministers in this temple.
Yigu Hall: the name of the Luo family in Shangyu, Zhejiang. "Shangyu Luo Family Genealogy" states that the "first ancestor" was Luo Yuan of the Southern Song Dynasty. Luo Yuan, Xing Yuanyi, Zi Yuan Shan. He moved from Luojiang, Ciyi to Yongfeng Township, the third capital of Shangyu. He was the first ancestor to move to Yu and gave him the name "Yigu".
Zhongzhitang: the name of the Luo family in Zhuxi, Jishui, Jiangxi. Luo Furen (1306-1381) was a famous honest official in the Ming Dynasty. He was a bachelor of Hongwen Hall and was in the same rank as Liu Ji. Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem for Luo Furen: "Although he is rough in nature, he is loyal and upright. I give him this commoner and put him back in the fields." He took the "loyalty and upright" in the poem as his hall name to show his honor.
Side Hall: Luo Family Hall in Yuzhang, Nanhai, Guangdong. Luo Chong of the Yuan Dynasty wrote a preface to "The Genealogy of Yuzhang in Zidong, Nanhai": "Between the beginning of the Song Dynasty and Shaoxing, my ancestor, Taden, lived in Jiangxi. He gave birth to sons and grandsons of the Book of Changes. Records have been lost, and the descendants of his great-grandchildren are unknown. Then he moved to Zhujili, Baochang, and gave birth to a son. He was blessed by his grandson, and moved to Zitong Township in Nanhai. He was actually the grandson of Baochang's ancestors. Therefore, he was considered to have a son and gained a good reputation. In the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestral soldier's house of poems and books was fortunately established. The fragments were cut off and scattered among the ashes, and only one or two of them were preserved. This is how my Yuzhang family lineage has not been extinguished."
Luo Chong, courtesy name Cheng'en and nickname Nian Gong, was the ninth generation descendant of the Luo family in Zidong, Nanhai. Emperor Yingzong of the Yuan Dynasty summoned him to the capital and granted him the title of senior official in the Ministry of Affairs. However, Luo Chong insisted on resigning, and Emperor Yingzong had no choice but to allow him to return home and gave him the handwritten "Shidetang" as a plaque for Luo's ancestral hall. From this, "Shidetang" became the name of the hall.
Yi'en Hall: Luo Family Hall in Shaxian County, Fujian Province. According to the "Shaxian Luo Family Genealogy Book", the ancestor of his migration was from Bolinli, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Unfortunately, the name has been lost. It is only known that he served as an official in Shaxian in the 15th year of Tang Yuanhe (820). Living in "Luoxiang", he started the Minsha Luo clan.
Zhaoguang Hall: the name of the Luo family ancestral hall in Meiban (formerly known as "Osaka") Village, Dadao Town, Yong'an City, Fujian Province. The ancestral hall was originally built to worship "Zhenhui Gong", the founder of the Hongshaluo surname. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. The so-called "Zhaoguang" means "beginning, Guangda".

The surname culture and ancestral hall culture are an important part of the Chinese national culture. Surname culture and ancestral hall culture have accompanied the formation of the Chinese nation in the special form of blood culture and represent the traditional clan concept of the Chinese nation. "Blood is thicker than water." In terms of the assimilation of Chinese national culture and the unification of the country, surname culture and ancestral hall culture are powerful national cohesion. Today, when we are comprehensively studying and practicing the Scientific Outlook on Development, surname culture and ancestral hall culture still have important positive significance and promoting role.
At present, all parts of the country attach great importance to the excavation and utilization of surname culture and ancestral hall culture. For example, Wuxi City has announced that it will repair and restore a number of ancestral temple buildings, including Zou Gong Temple, Li Zhongding Temple, Hua Xiaozi Temple, Zhang Zhongcheng Temple, Zhide Temple (Taibo Hall), Guomajun Temple, etc.
The Chinese nation (including overseas Chinese and Han descendants) has a deep-rooted concept since ancient times: to seek roots and worship ancestors, to improve the country, and to serve the motherland. Nanchang is the birthplace of the Luo family in the world, and Luo Zhugong is the ancestor of the Luo family in the world. Rebuilding the "Yuzhang Luo Family Ancestral Hall" and making it a holy place for Luo families all over the world to find their roots and worship their ancestors will definitely have hundreds of advantages and no disadvantages for the extensive contact with Luo families all over the world and for the construction and development of Nanchang. This is the fundamental purpose of the author's short article.
