[Ancient Temple] Why does the ancestral hall have a hall number? What is the hall number of the ancestral temple in your village?
Name the hall number after blood.
In China surname culture, the first social mentality is to attach great importance to blood relationship. Not only the same surname uses the same hall number, but also different surnames related by blood will use the same hall number.
For example, the famous "Liugui Hall" is the hall name of Fujian, Guangdong and other places with the same surname as Hong, Jiang, Wang, Gong, Weng and Fang. According to documents, although the surnames of these six southern families are different, they are the same family as their ancestors, and they are all descendants of Weng.
Naming hall numbers by region
The hall number named after the regional concept is the most common, which is often related to the county name of each surname, that is, the county number or place name is used as the hall number.
For example, Taiyuan Wang, Langya Wang, Jingzhao Wang, Anding Zhang and Hanoi Zhang are all examples.
Another example is Zhuge family, who was born in Borg and yearned for Langya. It originated in Zhucheng, Shandong Province, and the Zhuge family spread all over the country in later generations. Most of them have used nirvana in fire's name for generations.
In addition, such as Hai Tang, Chen Deying, Xu Donghai Tang, Ouyang Bohai Tang, Hu Yan's Taiyuan Tang, Lin's Xihe Tang, etc. all think of the Tang number.
Act according to the words of the ancestors.
China people are always proud of Jia, the ancestor of our ancestors, and they often name the hall after it, which will last forever. For example, Hongnong Yang's "Four Knowledge Hall" and "Innocent Hall" take the virtue of Yang Zhen, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the name of the hall.
According to documents, when Yang Zhen was appointed as the satrap of Donglai, he passed through Changyi, and the county magistrate Wang Mi asked for an audience late at night, bribing Yang Zhen with ten catties of gold. Yang Zhen sternly refused to say: As an old friend, I know you very well, but how can you not understand my personality? Wang Mi said: I came late at night, and no one knew about it. Yang Zhen replied: How can it be said that no one knows about this? If God knows, I know and I know? Wang Mi had to retreat in shame. Yang's descendants took "Four Intellectuals Hall" and "Innocent Hall" as hall names to show their respect and memory for Yang Zhen, the ancestor who refused to accept corruption and bribery.
Fan's Maizhoutang is an allusion to Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, who helped the poor. On one occasion, Fan Zhongyan sent his son Ren Jun to Gusu to transport wheat and take a boat to Danyang. When Shi had no money to bury his relatives, he was given a wheat boat. Ren Jun told his father when he got home, which won the praise of Fan Zhongyan. Therefore, later generations took this as the code and "Maizhoutang" as the hall number.
Take the achievements of ancestors as the hall number.
In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, various surnames have appeared in different historical periods, and a group of historical figures have made outstanding contributions and are famous in history. Later generations often use this as the name of the hall. For example, Ma Yuan, a famous soldier in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is famous for his outstanding military exploits, and "The Wrapped Body of Ma Ge" is a well-known historical allusion. Later, because of the title of general, a descendant of Ma took Tang as his name. Qu Yuan, a doctor of Chu, used to be a doctor, and Qu Shi took "San Lv Hall" as the hall number.
Another example is Tang Daizong's Guo Ziyi, who was named "King of Fenyang" because of the Pingan Anshi Rebellion. He has repeatedly made meritorious deeds and has been out for more than 20 years. Later, the grandson of the prince multiplied all over the country, mostly with "Fenyang Hall" as the hall number. Today, the descendants of Guo at home and abroad are also proud of "".
Take the traditional ethical norms as the hall number
In the feudal patriarchal society, each family often takes the traditional ethics and moral norms as the hall number to admonish and exhort future generations. For example, Li's Dunlun Hall, Zhang's Bairen Hall, Zhu's Motto Hall, Wu Zhi Hall, Liu's Chongde Hall, Zheng's Wuben Hall, Zhou's Zhongxin Hall, Cai's Keshen Hall and Xu's Julian Hall all embody traditional ethical concepts. This is common in the names of independent churches.
For example, Zhang Gongzhi, the commander of Yunzhou in the Tang Dynasty, lived with IX. During the Linde period, Tang Gaozong sacrificed to Mount Tai, passed through Yunzhou, and went to his house to ask why he could live with IX and get along well. Zhang Gongzhi wrote more than 100 words "forbearance" on the paper, revealing the secret, all of which lies in Pepsi's forbearance. So the name of the guild hall is "Bairentang".
Take the elegance and virtue of our ancestors as the hall number.
In feudal society, there were a group of talented and noble-minded literati, which were highly valued by the world. Its descendants are also proud of it.
For example, Zhou Dunyi, a famous Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Song Dynasty, is elegant and loves the noble character of lotus, and regards his place of residence as the "Lotus Hall". Later generations took this as the hall number. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty refused to kneel for Wudoumi, so he resigned and returned to Li, and made a "farewell speech" to clarify his ambition. Because Tao Yuanming was named Mr. Wuliutang, later generations took Wuliutang as the hall name. Another example is Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, who claimed to be a "violet layman", so the Li people have the name of "violet hall".
Take good omen as the hall number
The ancient people attached great importance to the auspicious symbol Zhao Rui, and often regarded it as a sign of good fortune, and often regarded it as the hall number of the clan. For example, in the Song Dynasty, Wang You once planted three pagodas in the courtyard, saying that his descendants must be among the three pagodas (in ancient times, hundreds of officials attended the meeting, and the three pagodas stood opposite the locust tree, so the three pagodas symbolized the three pagodas), and his son Wang Yue was indeed among the prime ministers, and he was highly valued by the court for more than ten years. Later generations took "Sanhuaitang" as the name of the hall, and became a famous family of celebrities in China, ranking alongside the Wang clan in Taiyuan and the Wang clan in Langya.
Wei Cunqing of Tengchong in Ming Dynasty was the ancestor of Cun surname. In Tengchong county, he dreamed that the mountains and rivers in the southwest suburb were beautiful, the lotus flowers in the southwest suburb were in full bloom, Ziyun had been in the east for a long time, and the lotus pond on the ground was glowing with purple light. He made an appointment with Liu Jizong, Liu's ancestor, and accidentally came to the village (namely Heshun Township). Its mountains are sharp, and its water flows like a belt. At four o'clock, the warm atmosphere pervaded the suburbs, and both of them were very envious and reluctant to give up ... "At that time, Cun Qing marveled at the long-lost scenery:" It's really a cosmopolitan style. "Here you can BuJuyi. Shi Cun is a talented person of Heshun. Inch Kaitai was a scholar of B Weike (AD 1895) in the 21st year of Guangxu. Inch-shaped jade, inch-shaped security, Fuqing Cun, inch-shaped happiness and harmony, and inch-shaped rock were successively selected by the Inch family. Among the China literati, inch-shaped Kaitai was selected. At the end of Kangxi, he paid tribute; At the end of Kangxi, he paid tribute; At the end of Jiaqing emperor, he paid tribute; At the end of Kangxi, he paid tribute; At the end of Kangxi, he paid tribute; At the same time pay tribute to Wen Wensheng. Later generations took "Zhao Ziting" as the hall number.
Take the hall villa of previous celebrities as the hall number.
In order to show respect for celebrities with the same surname, the hall and residence of each surname are hall numbers. Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Xiangshan, Luoyang in his later years and became a layman in Xiangshan. Later generations took "Xiangshan Hall" as its name.
Another example is Pei Du, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. When the eunuch was in power, current affairs stopped, so he invited himself to leave, set up a villa in Wu Ge, Luoyang, set up a summer pavilion, planted thousands of flowers and trees, and named it "Green Field Hall". Pei's family is known as the "Green Field Hall".
Take the imperial examination fame in the family as the hall number
In feudal society, a large number of talented people of noble families came forth in large numbers, and their themes were continuous, which was admired by the world, so they were named as the Tang name. For example, Lin Pi, a native of Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, had nine sons, and all the officials lived in the secretariat (commonly known as Zhou Mu). His family background is prominent and admired by the world, so Zhi Lin took "Nine Tom" as his Tang name. Another example is Xu Wei, a native of Linxiang in the Song Dynasty, whose deeds are the most filial. He lived in seclusion in Longtan Mountain and had eight sons, all of whom became famous later. People call it "Xu's Eight Dragons", and later generations take "Eight Dragons Hall" as the hall name.
Take the motto of earnestly warning future generations as the hall number.
This kind of hall number is more common in all surnames. Such as Chengzhitang, Wubentang, Xiaositang, Xiaoyi Hall, Shigengtang, Du Xintang, Dunlun Hall and Keqin Hall.
Take good wishes as the number of the family auditorium.
This hall number is also very common. Such as "Anletang", "Anqing Hall", "Rare Hall", "Blowing Rain Hall" and "Hou Kaitang".
Take the title, posthumous title or commendation as the hall number.
This kind of hall number was granted, presented and displayed by the imperial court or local government in past dynasties. Such as Zhong Wu Tang, Zhong Min Tang, Xiao Jie Tang and Xiao Yi Tang.
In a word, surnamed tang, as the emblem and nickname of the family, not only has obvious regional characteristics and consanguinity connotation, but also has a strong feudal patriarchal color, which is not only a high-profile family name, but also a reflection of the social form at that time. It also has the social function of distinguishing clans, clans and kinship. Its emergence and development are mostly carried out at the same time as genealogy, ancestral hall, ancestor worship and clan fellowship activities.
