Fortune telling for the blind in Shuangfeng _ Fortune telling for the blind in Hunan

The present situation of Nian Gengyao's descendants in Gansu is to change their names and surnames and live a very stable life.

Nian Gengyao (1679—1726 65438+10/3) was a political and military figure in the early Qing dynasty. The word Liang Gong, whose name is Shuangfeng, was born in the white flag (later yellow flag) of the Han army, the second son of the Governor of Hubei, and the younger brother of Yong Zhengdi's imperial concubine. His descendants chose to settle in a village in Jinta, Gansu Province. Now the situation is to change their names and surnames and live a very stable life.

This descendant of Nian Gengyao in Gansu claimed to be the descendant of Nian Gengyao's youngest son in the middle of the year. It is said that when Nian Gengyao was banished to the northwest, Nian Gengyao himself knew that his time was running out, so he ordered one of his confidants to escape with him in the middle of the year and make another living. In this way, in the middle of the year, some people fled to the Jinta in Gansu and settled down here. The evidence that these people claim to be descendants of Nian Gengyao is the armor that Nian Gengyao wore in the war.

Nian Gengyao's anecdotes and allusions.

1, name source

There are two explanations about the origin of Nian Gengyao's name. It is said that "Yao" is the word generation, and "soup" takes the meaning of "spoon", which is a metaphor for the prime minister to govern the country. The other is taken from the allusion of "seeing Yao on the thick soup wall". The word "Ming Zuo" comes from the sentence "When Qin is present, it will be clear" in Shun Dian.

2, blind fortune telling

It is said that Nian Gengyao's mother was the maid of Nianjia, and her brother Xirao Nian was the first. After Nian Gengyao was born, the first distant wife drove away Nian Gengyao's biological mother because of jealousy. Nian Gengyao was also raised by servants, but she didn't know there was such a son. Later, a fortune teller from eastern Zhejiang called "Stone Blind Man" came to Beijing. When he was young, he heard that he met a man with bones and a woman with voice, and his fortune-telling was very accurate. He invited him to the palace to tell his son Xirao Nian's fortune. Shi Blind Man said that he could be an excellent official.

In Nianfu, the stone blind man has found Nian Gengyao, so he said to Ling, "I just found a child in the concierge, and that child will be a very important person in the future." Nian Yaonian was frightened, so he called his concierge and asked who this son was. The porter said that this was the adopted son of a domestic servant, and then Nian Yao called the domestic servant and Nian Gengyao to find out what happened. Finding that Nian Gengyao was indeed "magnificent", he persuaded his wife to accept Nian Gengyao and adopt him as his own son. Since then, Nian Gengyao's experience has indeed fulfilled the prophecy of the stone blind man.
