Song people made up hundreds of surnames: "Qiansun Zhaoli, Wu Zhou Zheng Wang ...". The emperor's old son's surname is "Zhao", and the old "Zhao" family naturally ranks first. What about the second-ranked old "money" family? Absolutely ambiguous! The ancestor of "Qian" was Qian Liu, the king of China in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period after the Tang Dynasty. During the great turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty, Qian Liu was able to set up a separatist regime and established the State of Wu Yue, with its territory in today's Zhejiang Province and its capital in Hangzhou.
At that time, the Yellow River valley was dominated by northern Hu people, and there were five short-lived dynasties, namely Hou Liang, Later Tang Dynasty, Later Jin Dynasty, Later Han Dynasty and Later Friday Dynasty. The so-called "ten countries" are ten small separatist countries with the Han people as the king, which coexist in the Yangtze River basin and the south. The territory of each small country is equivalent to one or two provinces today. The most powerful of the "Ten Kingdoms" is Jinling with its capital, and the "Southern Tang Dynasty" with Li Jing and Li Yu as the kings lasted for 42 years. Among the "Ten Countries", wuyue is the most stable and has the longest life span (76 years).
Qian Liu, the king of the Five Mountains, is very wise and elegant, which is reflected in never being conceited, but focusing on protecting the environment and people. Some feng shui master incited him to fill the West Lake, saying that if he didn't fill the West Lake, Wu Yueguo would only live less than a hundred years, and if he did, he would extend his country. Qian Liu didn't listen to the myth, because filling the lake is not good for the people. The descendants of the dying will: "Governor according to your ability. If you meet a real monarch, you should join him as soon as possible. The sage cloud goes with the sky. " "People are precious, and countries are second. Do not move, that is, love the people. "
In 978 AD, that is, three years after Song Taiping rejuvenating the country, that is, 18 years after the establishment of the court in the Song Dynasty, Sun Hongkui, the grandson of Qian Liu, followed the wishes of his ancestors and moved his family to North Korea, realizing a rare peaceful reunification in the history of China. As a result, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a land of plenty, avoided war and became a rich China region. The contribution of money was respected by the ruling and opposition parties in the Song Dynasty. The Hundred Family Names, written in the Song Dynasty, listed Qian as the second surname, which represented the royal family's high evaluation of the old Qian family and also included the respect and gratitude of intellectuals at that time.
The Song Dynasty did not overthrow the former dynasty by peasant uprising, but took a bloodless military coup to usurp political power from the royal orphans and widows in the later Zhou Dynasty, which was called "Chen Qiao mutiny" in history. I guess Zhao Kuangyin has always felt humiliated, even a little indefensible, so he gave special treatment to the royal family of Zhou Dynasty and wuyue. Among them, Chai Jin, the whirlwind described in Water Margin, holds the ancestral "iron coupon of Dan Shu", which is the legal immunity privilege granted by the Emperor of Song Dynasty to the descendants of the former royal family.
More than 1000 years have passed since wuyue surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Qian family has always been talented, which is remarkable! Far away, take modern times as an example. China's modern natural sciences include Qian Sanqiang, Qian Weichang and Qian Xuesen, known as "San Qian", all of whom are giants! In literature, history and philosophy, Qian Xuantong, Qian Jibo, Qian Mu and Qian Zhongshu are more famous in academic circles. According to research, they are all descendants of King Qian Liu of wuyue. There are also outstanding figures, such as Qian Qichen, a world-famous diplomatic expert, and his brother Professor Qian Qi 'ao, a natural scientist, who served as the vice mayor in charge of culture and education in Tianjin. On the other side is Qian Fu, who is also an extraordinary figure. Looking back, they came from the same source. It is said that it is a descendant of Qian Liu, and it is not like picking up eight poles to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. In fact, they all have lineages that need to be tested.
During the historical period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the old money family was king for 75 years, and naturally his family was rich. Turn an enemy into a friend, conform to the destiny, return safely, naturally be protected by the court, and get a reward. For the old money family, the people feel respect and will not be jealous. Their children and grandchildren can get better moral and cultural education than ordinary people in a peaceful atmosphere and rich life. This is also an important reason why the descendants of the Qian family have come forth from generation to generation and talented people have emerged in large numbers.
As the saying goes, "A gentleman's kindness is beheaded in five generations." Money is passed down from generation to generation, which is really thought-provoking. China people believe that all ancestors who have accumulated "Yin Gong" will benefit future generations. We don't believe in all these karma. However, the ancestors' family style is positive, and "the goodness becomes virtue, and the gods are complacent." Doing more good deeds, benefiting the society and enjoying the reputation of the village will indeed leave a legacy to future generations. The family instructions of Qian family, the way of educating children and grandchildren to cultivate themselves and the inheritance of genetic factors are another important reason for the prosperity of Qian family.
