Please ask for the origin and generation of the Zheng family in Lihu, Puning, Guangdong.
It can be traced back to the sect of Guangde Gong in the old town of Zhangpu.
Confirmed to be the descendant of Jing'an, the seventh generation of Duke Guangde.
The sixth Duke Duncheng gave birth to four sons: the eldest brother Jinghua was from the Temple Front School, the second room Jingzhong was from the Dingwei School, the third room Jinghe was from the Songlin School, and the fourth room Jing'an was from the Iron School. (Here comes the Zhaomu genealogy record)
We, the Zheng family of Puninglihu, belong to the Sifang Ironworkers clan. There are three reasons why they are identified as the Ironworkers.
1. The inscription on the tomb of our ancestor Xingzu Gong’s tomb clearly states the words “Niangzi Wang, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province”. This can be concluded that our ancestor moved to Zhangpu County, Fujian Province. of this place.
2. Our first ancestor Xingzu Gong made a living by blacksmithing. Legend has it that my grandfather and his son made a living by blacksmithing from Fujian and came to Songbaiwei Village in Lihu. They saw that this place is Feng Shui The treasure land can be used to take root and start a business. In the second and third generations, ancestral temples were built: "Xingzu Temple". From the above, it can be concluded that we are the seventh iron-making sect of Guang Degong in the old town of Zhangpu (under the iron-making sect of Sifang Jing'an Gong).
3. There are hall names and couplets in our Xingzu Temple:
Zhangpu branch has a long history
Guangyuan Hall
Tai'an The name of the Guangde Temple in Zhangpu: "Guangde Hall" is related to our "Guangyuan Hall".
The only two points that cannot be verified are: 1. Jing'an Gong's iron-making sect was founded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, while our Xing Zugong was in the late Ming Dynasty. There is a difference of more than a hundred years. The current doubt is that It is very likely that there were two or three generations or several generations in the period when our ancestor Xing passed by when he was doing blacksmith business in Fujian, and we are not sure about it and cannot investigate it? 2. Mr. Jing'an is a descendant of "Tai". The ancient name of our Songbaiwei village was "Tai'anwei". I wonder if there is any connection between the two?
The character generation is: "Xing Gang Oh Ci, Wan Mo Er Shi, Literary Virtue, Da Ding Cheng Ming"
