Ask for the origin of the surname of the Zhangqiu branch!
One Village "Five Wonders" Xi'an
Xi'an Village, Duozhuang Town, Zhangqiu City, is located 30 kilometers southwest of Mingshui and 16 kilometers away from Jingshi East Road. The scenery is beautiful and the legendary small mountain village.
1. Strange surnames
When it comes to Xi'an Village, many people say that it is a strange village with a single surname, and a strange surname. There are nearly a thousand people in the village. People, from a patrilineal perspective, do not have a mixed surname.
The surnames of the tribe are not recorded among the hundreds of family surnames written in the Song Dynasty. It was not until the Kangxi dictionary that the surnames were explained with the meaning of "surname". As for when and where the surnames originated from, The surname remains a mystery to this day. One legend is that during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestors of the tribe who served as officials in the Yuan court were framed and exterminated by nine tribes because they refused to have an affair with the queen. In order to preserve their bloodline, they took refuge in the mountains and changed their surname to tribe. Another theory is quite legendary. It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after a certain rebel leader failed in the battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, he fled hastily alone. When he was walking to the south of Xi'an Village, the sun was setting in the west. Near the south cliff where the eagle shot, I was moved by the scenery and saddened by the situation. A feeling of the end of the hero suddenly emerged, so I built a thatched hermitage (now commonly known as Beizhuangzi) at the longan of Xinglong Mountain (now Xishan), and connected it with the local village. The couple married, changed their names, and lived in seclusion here in order to make a comeback. This is where the name Xi'an comes from.
In the north of Xi'an Village, there was originally an unmarked stele of Two Dragons Playing with Pearls erected in the family cemetery. The stele was three feet wide and about one foot high. It was commonly known as the "Diaolong Stele". During the Cultural Revolution, the stele was destroyed and the tomb was dug up, and it was found in the tomb. There are no bones, so it is believed to be the tomb of the ancestors of the tribe, so the origin of the family is even more mysterious. Counting from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, people with tribal surnames have been living here for more than 600 years. During the hundreds of years of frequent wars and famines, it is indeed rare that such a village with no mixed surnames can exist. It’s not easy. This is the only one in Zhangqiu City, and it’s probably hard to find another one in Shandong Province. Therefore, as the research on human genetics becomes increasingly in-depth and the competition for genetic resources at home and abroad becomes increasingly fierce, the genes of the surnames should be regarded as the greatest wealth of Zhangqiu people.
2. The wonders of the temple
The Qishengtang in Xi'an Village is the most complete preserved temple in Zhangqiu, with one complete mural and two fragments of paintings existing. It was not destroyed even during the Cultural Revolution.
Guandi temples can be found all over the country, and their names are relatively uniform. According to the inscriptions in the village temple, the temple was called Guan Shengdi Temple during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. However, during the Qianlong period, it was renamed Qishengtang, including Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Guan Guan. Ping and Zhang Bao worshiped in the same temple, and their names continue to this day. Treating the seven monarchs and ministers equally is not only contrary to common sense in the old days when superiority and inferiority were valued, but it is also difficult to make sense. At the same time, according to the folk customs in the village, people with the same surname can intermarry, which is a treasonous thing in feudal society. From this, we can boldly guess that the surname should be unified by the rebels with different surnames who gathered here after the failure of the uprising. At that time, as a A secret military organization should be divided into superiors and subordinates, and the "bu" in the surname probably means subordinates. We can imagine that from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after more than two centuries of ups and downs, time has changed. The original purpose of living in seclusion in Xi'an and making a comeback has gradually faded away. The descendants of the warriors who came to the village have become basically equal. Under this circumstance, equality among all races has become the common wish of everyone, and this Seven Saints Church should be a direct product of this historic change. According to the elders in the village, there may be inscriptions or other documents buried by Lord Wenchang that have been preserved to this day. They are probably documents describing the origin of the tribe. In the early years, some people picked up things like jade grasshoppers nearby.
3. The Wonder of the Mountain
According to the inscriptions in Xi'an Village during the Qianlong period, there is Yingluo Mountain on the left of Xi'an Village, and it leans against Longshan Mountain behind it. It is probably named after the shape of the mountain, and it is derived from Feng Shui. From a personal perspective, there is naturally an ulterior secret hidden in it.
Yingluo Mountain is formed by the intersection of two mountains. It is like an eagle rushing down to catch its prey. The eagle's wings and eagle's beak are all in perfect shape. Under the setting sun, it looks particularly vigorous and vigorous. The left wing of the eagle, commonly known as the South Cliff, is steeper and steeper. Its mountain structure has folds and faults at random, and the landform is unique and rare.
What is even more peculiar is the wonder of the double dragons emerging from the mountain in the middle of the south cliff. Two peaks that look like dragon heads poke their heads out from the mountain. Their appearance and spirit seem to be struggling to break free from the shackles of the mountain and fly away. No wonder the ancestors of the tribe took a fancy to it. I came to this place where the hidden dragon gathers energy to stay in seclusion until the time comes. The caves in this mountain are particularly peculiar. According to the old man in the village, there are seventy-two caves in this mountain, which are connected together. In the early years, if someone lit a fire in the cave at the foot of the mountain, the wonder of the mountain filled with clouds and mist would appear. , due to the dense vegetation on the mountain, there are only a few caves where smoke can be seen coming out. The largest of them is a natural cave on the mountainside. The entrance of the cave has the seal inscription "Heavenly Immortal Residence". It is unknown who carved it when and who. The cave is spacious and can accommodate several people. Ten people gathered for a dinner. It is said that this cave leads directly to Niujiao Mountain in Nanming Village. The cave is now 30 meters deep and has been blocked by mud and stone. If it can be opened and repaired, it will be a great spectacle. The cave will be warm in winter and cool in summer, even in the hot summer. , the temperature in the cave is only 18 or 9 degrees, it’s really a bit cold after people stay in it for a long time! Looking from a distance when climbing the mountain, the mountain shape on the opposite side looks like a swimming giant dragon, and the earliest settlement of the ancestors of the tribe, "Beizhuangzi", is right at the dragon's eye. How many hidden twists and turns does it contain?
4. The Wonder of Water
There is a cave at the foot of Yingluo Mountain, which is locally called "Queen Mother Pond". It is about seven or eight meters deep. It is said to be the bathing place of the Queen Mother. There are many droughts and floods, and the water level neither rises nor drops. There is also a dripping hole, where a line of water drops falls straight to the ground from the top of the cave. , the locals call it "the water of heaven and earth", especially in the March and Ninth season, this water condenses into ice from the ground to the top of the cave more than ten meters high, like a silver pillar standing upright, and like a white wax pillar in the sky, it is really beautiful.
5. Strange plants and trees
There are many strange plants and trees in Yingluo Mountain, many of which are unique to this mountain. There is a small shrub called "Old Man's Cough" that relieves coughs and reduces phlegm. The effect has been proven time and time again. According to incomplete statistics, there are 58 species of plants and trees that can only be named. Layers of shrubs and weeds create a colorful and beautiful scenery all year round. When spring comes, the mountains are covered with delicate yellow, mixed with wild purple and white lilacs, like a colorful incense screen; when the mountains come down, the vegetation is lush and verdant, occasionally dotted with mountain flowers, just like an ingenious picture of green brocade and hundreds of flowers; when autumn comes, The frost-stained red leaves look like wisps of floating red clouds from a distance; when winter comes, ice and snow cover the fields, just like silver eagles falling quickly, and there is a unique snowy style of "withered grass and hawks' eyesight".
Xi'an, a small mountain village, contains too much "unexplainable". Visitors here can not only appreciate its unique natural landscape, but also feel nostalgic for the past. More than 500 years ago, people from Xueli Mountain came here to explore the secluded place and left a poem: "The general's temples are the color of smoke, and his robes are stained with blood and his golden swords are cracked. At sunset, the goshawk is saddened by its end, and its eyes are drawn to the dragon to look forward to the future. Conclusion On the west side of the nunnery, you can hear the chickens often dancing. Qizhi has died with everyone, but the partridges are still heard deep in the mountains. "This poem is inscribed on a huge monument, which was erected at the head of the village. Unfortunately, it was considered destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Now it has been annihilated and has no existence.
