Where are the descendants of Liu Bei now?
But their lives are generally low-key and they don't say anything, especially during the Cultural Revolution, when most of the descendants of the emperor were punished, and now there are not many left. Moreover, they should all be anonymous and unknown.
In recent days, I saw a news on the internet with the title "Where are the descendants of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms still selling straw sandals?" It seems that Liu Bei's descendants will return to their ancestral business-weaving seats and selling shoes; According to this statement, are the descendants of shellfish still emperors after selling straw sandals? Just like one summer vacation, an old farmer suddenly asked me why I was studying. I was caught off guard and thought twice. I wanted to take Premier Zhou's "Studying for the Rise of China" as an example. This situation seems to be somewhat inappropriate; Moreover, at the beginning, I really didn't study for any specific purpose, but when I was old, everyone naturally went to school. We don't really need to get to the bottom of many things, just do them, just like some customs: "Why not?" "Silly child, reading is to fight for parents!" It's just that this realm seems a little too narrow for my parents. By extension, should I fail my parents' parents ... ancestors? Ancestors and emperors, children and grandchildren farmers, how can we fight for this anger?
As a descendant of Liu Bei, I am ashamed to live in front of others and behind others, because there are many descendants of Liu Bei. Secondly, the descendants of Liu Yong are extremely developed, which is the most prosperous among the many tribes of Liu in Zhongshan, and is the largest surname of Liu. Today, the descendants of Liu in southeast Fujian, Guangdong and overseas are all descendants of Liu Yong.
I also watched several episodes of the new version of Three Kingdoms. I was looking forward to it, but I really can't stand it. If Luo Guanzhong knows anything under the spring, he will not let them go if he becomes a spectre. It has nothing to do with the history of the Three Kingdoms. Li Dongfang said that people who study history always respect art, but why do so-called artists often distort history at will? It's a pity that I can't sue those stupid founders like Confucius' descendants. Kong's genealogy has never been broken; Can't be like Huo Yuanjia's descendants. Huo Xia only died for a hundred years; And we Liu in the Han dynasty by the responsible for the registration, so it is difficult to textual research in history. It is said that with the popularity of this bad TV series, everyone is more curious. Where are the descendants of the Three Kingdoms? Some say that Chow Yun Fat is a direct descendant of Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang is a model of Hong Kong women. As for the latter, I have heard about it for a long time. Once I smiled and said to my friend, "She is really upset now, otherwise she should come to see me." Just as Kong Rong II visited Mars, she should also meet the descendants of her ancestors' old master. However, as it turns out, I'm really credulous (I believed it until it was proved to be false), and she is probably not a descendant of Zhuge Wuhou.
And why am I so sure that I am a descendant of Liu Bei?
I was born in Dongshan Village, Yao Bei Town, Chaling County, Hunan Province. This village is dominated by the surname Chen, and the word "Lord" here has two meanings: one is the master; Second, the number is large, and the only ancestral hall in the village is the Chen ancestral hall. Secondly, both Liu and Tan are outsiders, and according to the elderly elders, Tan's rise in Dongshan depends on Liu. Liu has experienced both glory and depression in this small village, which is as famous as Confucius's "Climbing the East Mountain and Being Small".
When I was in college, I watched Yu Shiwei's lecture on the computer (the campus was quite popular at that time) and accepted the concept of "family honor" in his mouth. He said that the owners of famous British surnames would tattoo their family emblems on their clothes. If you are curious about this, he will be happy to tell you the history of their surnames. Although I have never been abroad, I know it is really credible. Because the famous wars of the roses in English history happened between two families with red roses and white roses as family symbols. Generally speaking, we think that westerners' family concept is indifferent than that of orientals, because Europeans and Americans pay attention to independence and the relationship between family members is not particularly close; In traditional China, parents dote on their children in every way, and children depend on their parents in every way. In fact, however, they value family and lineage more than we do, but they don't prefer boys to girls like China. When Confucianism talks about "kissing", it is to set a level difference for interpersonal relationships. Therefore, China people are becoming more and more insignificant on family issues. Moreover, foreigners are particularly prominent on this issue, so even if there are few children, families are getting bigger and more successful. A good friend deeply agrees with this. He took out the Rothschild and Rockefeller families as evidence, and hundreds of years of glory were indeed enough to make China people feel the shame of "being rich for three generations"; Even some royal families in Europe have never ceased to rule since they were established. In the barbarian state, Qin Shihuang's wonderful idea that "II and III will live forever and spread endlessly" was realized. In China, it is called "Gentleman's Zee, and it will be cut in five days". In other words, the rule of the Han dynasty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and really recovered; Moreover, looking at all the emperors in the Han Dynasty, few were particularly tyrannical (for example, most emperors in Xiezhou and Ming Dynasty) and cowardly (referring to foreign policy, for example, most emperors in Song Dynasty and emperors in late Qing Dynasty). Many emperors in the Han Dynasty were first-class in history.
Liu Lei is the first celebrity surnamed Liu in the official history. It is also clearly recorded in Historical Records that "Tao and Tang declined, followed by Liu Lei", indicating that Liu Lei is a direct descendant of Yaodi and an authentic descendant of Huangdi, and Liu Bang, who later established the Han Dynasty, is a descendant of Liu Lei. Although Liu is the fourth surname in China, and its sources are various, Liu Lei is the "first celebrity with Liu surname in China" in history. Because of his special relationship with Liu Bang, Liu Lei is known as the "earliest, largest and most authentic" ancestor of Liu, and has been recognized and respected by Liu Chinese at home and abroad. Liu in China is closely related to the dragon culture. Liu is the surname that produces the most emperors among many surnames in China. In the long history of the Chinese nation, Liu Jian established many dynasties and regimes, such as the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dynasty, the former Zhao Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. In particular, Liu Bang, who started the great man's inheritance with the mystery of "Liu Long", called himself "the real dragon emperor" and began the indissoluble bond between the dragon and the emperor. The Han Dynasty in Liu Jianli had a great influence on the development of the Chinese nation, which produced Chinese proper names, Chinese proper names and Chinese proper names. Therefore, when evaluating Liu Wenhua's contribution to China's traditional culture, the experts summed it up in three words: "The emperor's respect, the name of the nation, has great influence".
Today, the vast majority of the Liu clansmen in the world claim to be from the royal family of the Han Dynasty, claiming to be the descendants of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. There is even a saying that there are no two Liu after the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the distribution of the Liu family in the Han family has basically become the basic layout of the Liu family in the future.
Among the clans in the Han Dynasty, the Liu family in Zhongshan, founded by the ninth son of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, is the one with the fastest reproduction, the largest branch, the largest clan and the most prosperous offspring. As early as the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the Liu family in Zhongshan was famous for its prosperous imperial clan. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Liu family in Zhongshan was famous all over the world for cultivating the royal family of Liu Bei. During the Jin and Tang Dynasties, the Liu family in Zhongshan migrated to the southeast, and their descendants multiplied rapidly, forming one of the backbone forces of the Liu family in the world today. Liu Kun, a poet and patriotic general in the Western Jin Dynasty, paid tribute to Wang Jing of Zhongshan. The poet Liu Yuxi also claimed to be the queen of Wang Jing in Zhongshan. Today, most of the Liu family in southeastern China and overseas belong to this sect.
There are more than one hundred and twenty sons in history, the largest number among the vassal states of Liu, which is unprecedented in the history of China and rare in the history of the world. Most of Liu Sheng's more than 120 sons have descendants. As a result, there was a royal family in Zhongshan, which flourished and became the largest clan in the Han Dynasty.
A few years ago, my hometown, Liu, began to cultivate music and seek roots. It turns out that our Liu family migrated from neighboring Jiangxi. I've seen the genealogy, which only dates back to my ancestors who moved out of Jiangxi. Obviously, his name does not exist in history. I asked my father, who was involved in the whole arrangement process, which branch of the Liu family was my family. My father proudly told me that we are also descendants of Liu Bei after Wang Jing. My family bought more than 10 copies of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which are often borrowed without looking for it. And our three brothers were taken to the Three Kingdoms by our father from the beginning of literacy. In particular, I especially love this classic. If I have nothing to do, I will turn it out and review it. It is no exaggeration to say that I have read this book from beginning to end 10 times. People in the Three Kingdoms period preferred to rule the Spring and Autumn Period, such as Guan Yu; I have ruled the Three Kingdoms for several years. Over the years, I have carefully read Zhu Pei's Notes on the Three Kingdoms, Zi Tongzhi Jian, The History of the Three Kingdoms of Lv Simian, Li Dongfang's Comments on the Three Kingdoms, Chen Erdong Gossip, Famous Scholars' Interpretation of the Three Kingdoms and other works and monographs around the vernacular. These days, I have been studying the history of the later Han Dynasty and the new stories of the world. Maybe one day I can choose a good day like Long Hao, and lie on my back to bask in the sun. People in the past asked me why, and I would say I was basking in the Three Kingdoms. So you should be able to understand my feelings when I learned that I was a descendant of Liu Bei. I boldly speculated that my family should be a descendant of Liu Yong. In order to prove that my conclusion is true, I have to find another evidence, which I can't find in the twenty-four histories, so I have to turn to unofficial folk music:
After pacifying Shu Han, Liu Bei's second son, Liu Yong, moved to Luoyang, where he was deprived of his aristocratic status and demoted to Hou Xiang and captain of the car service. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong in the late Tang Dynasty, Liu Xiang, the 25th generation grandson of Liu Yong, lived in Shibidong, Ninghua County, Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province (now Ninghua County, Sanming City) in order to avoid the Huang Chao Rebellion. He was the ancestor of Liu Jinmin (also known as the ancestor of the middle Tang Dynasty, known as the Eastern School in history). The 14th Liu Xiang Sun Long was awarded the post of envoy by Huguang, then promoted to envoy by Henan, and then returned to live in Shibi, Ninghua. Liu Longsheng Jiuzi: The names range from one to nine. Liu was born in Shibi, Ninghua, Tingzhou, Fujian. Because he worked in Guangdong and moved from Ninghua, Fujian to Chaozhou and Jiaying (now Meizhou, Guangdong), he was honored as the ancestor of Liu's family in modern times. Liu Guangchuan, the son of Liu, was appointed as the magistrate of Ruijin County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province. After his death, he was buried in the dragon-shaped eye point on the back of Lijinji Triangle Pond in Ruijin County, Jiangxi Province. Fourteen sons, 83 grandchildren, 364 great-grandchildren, and descendants of Chiba constitute one of Liu's living subjects. Jiangxi descendants are mainly distributed in Ganzhou (Ruijin), Ji 'an, Fuzhou and other regions. The Liu family in Chaling, Hunan Province moved in from Yongxin, Jiangxi Province, which belongs to Ji 'an City and borders Chaling County, Hunan Province.
Liu is the largest surname in Jiangxi with a population of more than 2.7 million. It's basically an authentic Han family. Jiangxi Liu has a glorious history and a common ancestor. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Jiangxi was a part of Changsha, Liu Jianli, and the main body of Liu's South School in Changsha lived in Jiangxi. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the Five Dynasties Rebellion, Jiangxi became one of the ideal areas for Liu's migration and residence in the process of Liu's migration from north to southeast. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a large number of members of Liu's surname participating in the migration movement of "Jiangxi filling Huguang", Jiangxi became the main birthplace of Liu's surname in Huguang area (now Hunan and Hubei). Among the surnames of Liu in Jiangxi, there are Liu in Luling, Liu in Shuiqiao, Liu in Mozhuang in Xinyu, Liu in Yongxin, Liu in Taihe, Liu in Ruijin, Liu in Xinbei in Yiyang and other famous families in China. Among the clans and tribes, the surname Liu in Jiangxi mainly includes three categories: one is the South School of Liu, a native of Changsha; The second is the Liu family in Pengcheng from north to south; The third is Liu, a Hakka from Zhongshan, Fujian and Guangdong.
With this stroke, the whole line will be smooth. In our three brothers, there is an innate sense of dignity, living at the bottom of snobbery. Conceit and extraordinary undoubtedly have some irony, which has caused us a lot of pain. Now it seems that everything has a reason. After reading the first four histories, I can't help but compare my ancestors Liu Bang and Liu Bei and find that there is quite a lot of sex between them. For example, their personal abilities are not as good as their main rivals, but they all achieved great things in the end, because they have a unique personality charm-attractive as magnets. Like Liu Bangyou Sanjie and Cao Can, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo worked hard for it; Liu Bei and Zhang are accompanied by each other all day, and they are like brothers. People are not very happy to study, love music, love dogs and horses, be generous and kind, and win the hearts of the people (those who win the hearts of the people win the world). Like Liu Bang pushing Han Xin to undress; Liu Bei often sits at the same table with the poor and eats at the same time. The reason why people can be promoted in the Ninth Five-Year Plan has a lot to do with their civilian temperament and people-friendly line. When they were still living at the bottom of society, they had ambitions that ordinary people did not have. Moreover, although they are not ambitious, they are not good at macro planning. Liu bang split his troops and marched west, with an unknown direction. Only at the suggestion of Sean did he concentrate on tackling key problems and enter Xianyang first. Liu Bei spent most of his life running around, and in middle age he had to listen to Zhuge Liang's countermeasures. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had a rude awakening. People are half-baked-a glass of water is not full, so you can listen to the opinions of counselors with an open mind and absorb their strengths; Because of their appreciation of English and strong learning ability, Sean and Zhuge Liang, these famous figures throughout the ages, are also their teachers, friends, ministers and brothers. Both of them have made great contributions to the rise and development of the Chinese nation all their lives.
Their characteristics are more or less reflected in us, so our brothers and sisters are natural leaders and partners in their respective groups. It's just that we like reading more than our two ancestors, otherwise we won't realize the greatness of them and their surnames.
Among our brothers, my personality is the hottest and most angular. Many people who meet me for the first time can't help thinking, "Why is he so crazy?" If they knew my ancestors, they might not be so surprised. Although I am quite conceited about my talent now, my disobedience is not acquired, but a "gene" that dissolves in the blood and goes deep into the bone marrow. Xu Beihong said: "People should not be arrogant, but not impetuous." It has always been regarded as a classic by Chinese people, but in my opinion, there is no more specious famous saying than this sentence. Bone is to qi what God is to form. They are interdependent and indispensable. As a famous horse painter, Lao Xu should understand this truth very well: Is it a horse without a horse bone and a horse soul? Backbone, backbone, only bones or only gas, does that person still have backbone? Without pride, pride cannot be born naturally; On the contrary, there is no pride, because pride has not yet formed. I think pride and blame are the same. Genius will blame, great people will be proud, and those who have no material in their hearts naturally have no confidence and pride. Qi, I prefer to regard it as temperament and integrity, it is a state of mind that can stand the test of time and temper; Not a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water. Therefore, people who are arrogant, arrogant and arrogant are not arrogant.
At the end of last year, my nephew asked me what I was doing outside. I said to him, "Our surname Liu used to be the most outstanding surname in history, and there were always representatives from all walks of life with our surname Liu. But at present, it seems that Liu's surname has declined somewhat. To save this situation, all Liu's people need to unite. Take you for example. You already have a child. As an only child, he is likely to be passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, your descendants will definitely be alienated from our descendants, so the concept of home will become smaller and smaller. We must regain the concept of family and reshape the sense of family honor. " The eldest nephew nodded and said that I haven't seen him much since he grew up. Who knows that he often comes to me with his son in his arms: "Call Grandpa!" "I think his wings are hard, so I have to" threaten "his son:" Don't call him grandpa! "But I can't help but sigh: I am undoubtedly old in front of my grandson!" I've been studying something for years. For example, Andy Lau is surnamed Liu like us. He is probably handed down from the same ancestor as us. I'm thinking, maybe according to the theory of seniority, he still has to call me uncle, but he's your contemporaries. "It's a pity that there is no chance to see Dehua genealogy at present. However, as mentioned above, Andy Lau, a superstar whose ancestral home is Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, is also a Shu Zhong Liu School in Zhongshan, and Liu Lei (the first person surnamed Liu in historical records)-Liu Bang (Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty)-Liu Heng (Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty)-Liu Qi (Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty)-Liu Sheng (Zhongshan)-Liu Bei (Shu Zhaolie)-Liu Yong. And obviously, it is far more reliable to say that Andy Lau is a descendant of Liu Bei than that Chow Yun Fat is a descendant of Zhou Yu.
