Six inscriptions on the tombstone pavilion built by Zhong Bin for Ma’s ancestors

1. Zhong Bin built the tomb preface

November 1, 23rd year of the Republic of China , the Central East Road garrison returned to Changting, Bin Shi tied the talisman, and followed the officers at all levels. But the tomb of Mrs. Ma, the concubine of the first ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, is in the office of Ting Mansion. In my spare time, I always think about it and pay a visit to it. The government offices have been wiped out, new parks have been built, and litter and debris are everywhere. The ancient tombs of my ancestors and descendants for thousands of years have also been destroyed and cannot be rediscovered. I wander around and look around, how desolate I am. In the past, I, the founder of the Jin Dynasty, was a virtuous man who was brave and good at fighting. He was knowledgeable and responsible. He was awarded the title of Governor of Fujian and a mighty general. He was the second ancestor of the Duke. He inherited his father's position and was named Huangmen Shilang. He had good governance in the world and was honored by the people of Ting. By chance, Jin Bin came to this country, traced the relics of his ancestors, thought about the deep feelings of his ancestors, and saw the ruins of his ancestral tombs. How could he not feel inspired to restore them? So a layer-by-layer constitution was prepared, and a monument was allowed to be erected to commemorate it to express filial piety and honor the virtues of the ancestors. When the stele was completed, the stone was carved with a brief description of its events.

Sun Zhongbin, commander of the 108th Brigade of the 36th Division of the Army, would like to acknowledge you

Note: This preface is published according to the original text, and the sentence "the tomb of Mrs. Ma, the founder of the Tang Dynasty" is a misunderstanding of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Xian Gonghei was written as Ma Hei of Quanmu Gong in the Tang Dynasty. (The same below)

2. Inscriptions presented by Commander Li Mo'an

In the spring of the 24th year of the Republic of China, the Zhong family in South China restored the tomb of the Zhong family in Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. Ode tomb inscription. Zhong Bin, commander of the 108th Brigade of the 36th Division of the Army, has repaired the tomb of his ancestor Mrs. Matai in Tingzhou and asked Yu Wen to repent. Mrs. Matai was the wife of Xian Gong, the governor of Fujian Province, the founder of the migration from Jiangxi to Fujian. The Zhong family had good governance and was admired by the people of Ting. After reading the world and performing sacrifices, he met the king again and returned to the country. His achievements were shining brightly. After being enlightened and morally educated, his principles were solid and appropriate. And Jun visited his ancestor Songqiu, repaired the tomb passage, and praised Jingfen to show his devotion to his ancestors. It is enough to encourage vulgarity, why is it so? Because the inscription Yi Zhaozhi said:

In the Tang Dynasty, there were tiger ministers who spread their might and virtue, and the people of Ting chanted their kindness and showed it to the country. Lord Yiyi laid the foundation for his sleeping garden, where the mulberry fields spread to the sea, and the tombs and valleys collapsed.

Yuan has a distant grandson, and his loyalty and filial piety are passed down from generation to generation. The beautiful city is lush, the monuments and trees are tall, and they are thousands of years old, but these stones are not worn away.

Written by Li Mo'an, Commander of the Appeasement District in Fujian

3. Inscription presented by Commander Song

In the spring of 1935, the 24th year of the Republic of China, Zhong Zhong, Commander of the 108th Brigade of the Division Bin restored the tomb of Mrs. Ma Tai, the concubine of the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty, to pay tribute to her ancestors and pay tribute to her. He asked Yu to reveal its meaning to show the current world, and the stones will hang down for a long time. Yu could not get the courtesy words, so he wrote a few words and tied them with an inscription. The inscription said:

For me, China, Loyalty and filial piety are passed down from generation to generation, loyalty to the country, filial piety to ancestors, teaching filial piety and loyalty, and the holy words are clear and bright.

Unfortunately, uncle Ji abandoned the fashionable way. The country was in danger and the people were humiliated, and the disaster was self-inflicted. Great Zhongjun, the customs of his ancestors are correct.

I remember my ancestors sincerely, and the monument is a symbol. The sound of the wind will bring good things to the people, support the weak and respect them, this is indeed a sign.

Longshan Kuukuo, Tingjiang Haohao, and the inscription of Chizi will last forever.

4. Monument to the Ma family's ancestors

In the past, Han Xin was his mother. She was buried next to her, and she could have thousands of families. Ma Qian of Da Shi Company called it. The same is true for the tomb of the concubine of the ancestor of the Zhong family today. It is appropriate for her descendants to spread throughout the counties and to pay tribute to their legacy. It has lasted for more than a thousand years since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Brigadier Zhong Bin, who is now a descendant of the town, visited his ancestors at the former site of the county office, which is now Zhongshan Park, and set up a monument on a vast area of ​​2 feet and 5 feet in Zhongshan Park. Be careful to chase after the long distance, so when you urge filial piety, why should you be dedicated to filial piety and thinking about yourself? The book says: The filial piety and the wooden cabinet will always be given to you. From now on, we will be close to each other for a long time; it will become the wind of harmony between Yong and Yong. From one city to one province, from one province to one country, this is the Qian table stone. Its effect may be too far and the sequence is unknown.

However, Brigadier Zhong Bin was brave enough to fight in battle and repeatedly reported his achievements. He said that seeking loyal ministers must come from the gate of a filial son. I believe this more and more. I record it so that future generations will know it. What I have seen and felt is also Brigadier Zhong Bin’s original intention. I would like to record it.

5. Monument to the Ma family’s ancestors

Hou Jihou Ji, started in the southern suburbs, Hui Si Da Si, Wang Hui Tu opened. The water is swaying, the nine dragons are meandering, the things are well prepared, and the long hair is auspicious.

The prime minister, my ancestor, has hundreds of feet of pine trees. The county may build a government office, but the woodcutter and cedars are not harvested. There is the Tang Dynasty at the top, and the Qing Dynasty at the bottom. For hundreds of generations, the clothes and hats are in order.

In the sixth generation of Geng and Geng, wars were still frequent. Although the jade steps were changed, Zu Dou rose for a long time. Disasters are flying across the sky, shocking the daggers, falling into my famous city, and destroying my ancient pond.

Anoint the chariots and horses, sweep the spears, and have 30,000 masters and disciples. Now that the fierce and stubborn people have died, they have driven away the tombs of the hills, covered with grass, millet, thorns, and desolate frost and dew.

Brigadier Zhong Bin, after getting the truth, he ran away first, and he was done. The stone is carved with gold, and there are many people in love and sui, and a monument stands erect, with a golden phoenix perched on it.

The mountain collapses, the rocks are majestic, and the famous garden is attached, but the ancient times are not worn away. The universe is boundless, the words are long, and it has been sealed for thousands of years.

6. Couplet of Mazu's Concubine Memorial Pavilion

The monument pavilion shows the old virtues, and the fragrant beans answer the ancestors.

Note: The tomb of the Fujian Ma family’s ancestors is located in what is now Zhongshan Park in Changting County. There was a mausoleum built in ancient times, but it was destroyed when the Tingzhou government office was built in the late Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1863), Zhongbao, the hereditary heir of Yunqiwei, the former head of Ting County, placed three rocks on the tomb and drew a map of the tomb floor. In the 24th year of the Republic of China (AD 1935), Brigadier Zhong Bin was stationed in Changting and rebuilt the Ma family's ancestral memorial pavilion at the original site (Zhongshan Park), which was later destroyed. In 1993 AD, initiated by the World Federation of Zhong Clan Associations, a new cemetery for the Ma family's ancestral descendants was built in Shunling, Sanzhen Town, Jiaoling County.

Congratulations on the restoration of the niche in the Zhong's ancestral temple in Changting, Fujian

(Zhong Bin and others raised funds to rebuild it in the 24th year of the Republic of China)

Mianwei's concubine examination, birth and surrender Since the Tang Dynasty, Xu Yu and Longshan Zhiyang have been living. He was both literary and martial, both gentle and strong. He was a governor and became famous in both government and the public.

There are seven Suns, Yunqi Longxiang, from Fujian to Guangdong, and from Gansu to Hunan. The branches of the clan are multiplied, the hair is long and auspicious, the fields are given titles, and there is a steaming taste in the world.

Heaven has brought disaster to our country, robbed it like a red sheep, caused it to drift apart, and turned it into desolation. Bin and others were not sycophants. They joined the army and were ordered to join the brigade and use Zhang to attack.

The Yinjiang River has been established, and the temples and temples are in ruins, and the ruins and tiles are in ruins, which is heartbreaking to the eye. Yuan gathered his descendants, he and his wife unloaded the bag together, Buji repaired it, and finally Yan Guangzhuang.

I would like to raise the niche and present the aged wine slurry, which is as good as its spirit. Come and taste it. The vast ocean is here, appreciate the fragrance and enjoy it.
