Anecdotes about New Wang An

In the 10th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1582), Wang's tombstone was erected in Causeway Bay. The monument is 230 cm high, 43 cm wide and 1 1.5 cm thick, and is carved in intaglio. Above the monument, the words "Judge Gao Daye Jun" were written in four big letters "Wang Di Chen Fen" in the middle, and "10th day of July in Wanli" was engraved on the left.

Causeway Bay was a dignitary in the Song Dynasty. It turned out to be about 400 acres of tea garden bought by Wang Bi, the ancestor of Shangshu, Tang Bing Department. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there have been wars. Wang Bi led Zheng Chuan to make many exploits. Yang Xingmi was divided into Huainan, and Wang Bi was awarded Dr. Yin Lu Cha Bing Bu and Dr. Jin Jinguang Lu. After Mi's death, the son's last heir was removed from the Qimen county magistrate, and Wang Bi asked for leave to go home. When he died at the age of 68, he was buried in Wenxi Shewantan, which looked like a gong and was a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Wang Bi had a servant named Chen Di, who stayed with Wang Bi during the war and was deeply loved by Wang Bi. He married her as a maid, Peng San, and asked her to keep the grave for himself.

However, Abatti Giresse Concorde's son and grandson, a domestic servant, took the land of the Chen family as their own. According to the genealogy of Wang in the 17th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, Wan tan shan has been in dispute for hundreds of years and has gone through five lawsuits. It was not until the ninth year of Wanli that the land and borders were cleared. Chen Xinlu and others also forged a protection book, buried it behind the tomb, and measured it across the border in an attempt to occupy it. The Queen sued the government, and the county government advocated the return of the land, drawing a boundary line, carving the stone "Wang Di" and setting up a monument to delimit it. It was clearly agreed that land should not be invaded, and Chen should not invade the tomb of the king. With the order, Lu prepared a stone tablet engraved with "Uncle Jun Gao's sentence" and "Tomb of Chen" and sent it to the county for inspection. Hu Yuanji, an official, escorted it to Wantan, where it was erected on the 10th day of July in the 10th year of Wanli. This not only solved the long-standing dispute between Chen and Wang, but also acknowledged the fait accompli.

The erection of this monument stems from the struggle for land between two surnames. I have experienced five lawsuits in more than 300 years, which is really rare. It is representative in the land litigation in Huizhou, reflecting some phenomena in the clan, economy, folk customs and land system in Huizhou.

Historical materials of the case of "Wang Di Chen Fen" in Qimen County, Huizhou in the tenth year of Shunzhi.

The historical materials of this case are ***6 pieces of paper, including Wang Guangwen suing Chen Wenxiang for "stealing shade trees", "destroying monuments and occupying land" and "tampering with scales" in the fifth year of Shunzhi. Chen Wenxiang counterclaims Wang Guangwen, Chen Sheng pleads, and the government gives Wang Guangwen a copy of the written judgment.

Reading through the historical materials, Wang Guangwen is the plaintiff in this case, and the land in Wantan has always been owned by him, which is recorded in the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Chen robbed the tomb, but after litigation, the tomb was not moved, but the "Chen Tomb" was erected here to avoid future litigation. After Chen Wenxiang entered the Qing Dynasty, he not only stole shady trees and destroyed monuments, but also took the land as his own because of Chen's great influence and Bobby Chen's consanguinity. In order to protect justice, he re-measured the land, tampered with the ruler book and took it as his own. After trial, the government ruled that Wang Guangwen won the case, and Chen Wenxiang returned the trees and rebuilt the monument. Chen Wenxiang, Bobby Chen and others. Stick 80 stickers according to law, and then replace them with money and food.

These complaints, in the same font, are obviously from the same scribe. It can be seen that the lawsuit in the early Qing dynasty has not yet executed the official award formatted later. Moreover, the government not only had a judgment, but also gave the plaintiff a post in a different form.
