The status of the Mahalanobis family can be attacked, retreated and defended.
From the satellite map of Chang Gan, Chang Gan is in the mountainous area, but not in the mountainous area; The eldest son is only one arm away from the huge Xuefeng mountain system in the west. Facing the more advanced civilization in the East or the North, Chang Gan's position can't be achieved without being entangled in the huge Xuefeng mountain system.
In some ways, this position can be attacked and defended. Jin: You can go to Changsha, which is more prosperous in the east, or even in the northeast, and get more advanced civilization (according to genealogy records, the ancestor Rong Maogong [1] went to Changsha to take the rural examination during the Qianlong period); Retirement: With the protection of relatively closed forests and relatively stable and rich products, the Changzhuma family can thrive here for a long time.
In ancient times, the terrain became relatively flat, and it was easier to walk eastward from Chang Gan after walking through a relatively short mountain road. You can reach Baoqing, which is flat, and even Changsha in the northeast.
Chang Gan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with rich vegetation and relatively high terrain; Drought is hard to be stopped by drought, and flood is not a devastating blow.
Bamboo is all over the mountain, which is an excellent raw material for paper making. I know from Grandpa Yiying's article that there were many papermaking workshops in ancient times, and the papermaking industry was once one of the important economic pillars of Changyong. As a commodity, Chang Gan's "paper" is circulated everywhere, which also increases the opportunities for Chang Gan people to communicate with the outside world.
With the economic foundation, it is possible to feed more scholars and let future generations go further and better. Dozens of years ago, long-term people picked up paper and sold it to Guizhou (of course, Guizhou is a long-term western region).
The relatively stable and rich products have allowed the Changmao family to settle here relatively stably for hundreds of years; At the same time, the relatively closed geographical environment has also slowed down the process of being diluted by foreign surnames for 700 years, so that most people in Chang Gan still take the surname Ma (the greater the population mobility, the more complicated the surnames).
Therefore, we are grateful to Jackie Chan for laying this spiritual wealth for our future generations. Jackie Chan's image is now blurred in the minds of our descendants; However, I think he must be a Shandong native with great wisdom and strategic vision. Maybe Jackie Chan was very happy when he saw this treasure land of Chang Gan, and then he made a life-and-death fight, which laid the groundwork for future generations to influence the present situation.

The barren hills and wild mountains spread fire, and the empty valley and the orchid are not talented. Shao Yi is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. No wonder Ma Shi, Ouyang Shi, Tan Shi and other centuries-old families were born, but they are immortal.
