The first noble family of the Republic of China has contributed more than 100 talents to the country so far, and its descendants have spread across the five continents of the world
The famous French writer Roland once said: "Life is not an individual who grows up in isolation." It is growing while collecting the flowers and leaves along the way. It is like a sensitive camera, ingesting everything and hearing along the way, every minute and every inch of daily small things, is the fiber of personality. The words and deeds of each person in the environment are the building materials integrated into the growth process, so that the person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are infected, and the person's attitude towards life is affected. The influence of the environment on a person is not only tangible imitation, but more important is the intangible shaping. This shows the importance of home style.
From the Republic of China to the present, there are many families that have made great contributions to the Chinese humanistic spirit, among which the most famous family is the Qian family, which has contributed more than 100 talents to the country so far, so why is the Qian family so excellent? A good family style inheritance is a "key" to solve this problem.
The Qian family is a family with great social prestige. It is believed that they were descendants of Qian Miao (852-932), the King of Wuyue. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Qian Miao, a native of Lin'an, Hangzhou, was born poor and trained a good martial art from an early age, and at the age of 24, he became a general of Dong Changbu in Lin'an Shijing Town, repelled Dong Chang in 896 AD, occupied the area of present-day Zhejiang and southwestern Jiangsu and northeastern Fujian, and served as the envoy of the Zhen Navy and zhendong Jiedushi.
In 907, he was named the King of Wuyue in Houliang, and during his reign, he once requisitioned migrant workers to build the Qiantang River and Taihu Lake water conservancy projects, which promoted the development of the local economy and agriculture. In 84 years, the last monarch was Qian Miao's grandson Qian Hongli, who returned to the Northern Song Dynasty in 978 and was crowned King Of Deng. This is the only Qian regime in Chinese history, and The Wuyue king Qian Miao is considered the founder of qian's future millennia of glory. Since then, the Qian family has become a large family that cannot be underestimated in Chinese history.
The Qian family has been famous for generations. Qian Hongli's younger brother Qian Yu was a famous scholar of the early Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Qian family produced a great talent, Qian Yi, who was a jinshi at the age of 17, and was called "Li Baicai" at that time. In the Song Dynasty, the Qian family also appeared in the Jinshi Qiankun, who was an official to the secretary supervisor, according to historical records, he was good at grass, able to write poetry, and had a collection of essays passed down from generation to generation. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Hanlin cultivation of Qian Fu, and during the Hongzhi period, he ranked first in both the examination and the Libu court pair.
The later Rebbe Shangshu and Dongge University Scholar Qian Shikai was also a descendant of the Qian clan, and Qian Shikai was once the first in the temple examination during the Wanli Period. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the poet Qian Qianyi was also a descendant of wuyue Qianshi, who was a jinshi of the Wanli Dynasty, who once taught in Donglin and had been handed down from generation to generation.
During the Qing Dynasty, during the Qianlong Dynasty, there was Qian Daxin, a famous historian and sinologist of the Qing Dynasty, who left behind more than four million words of works such as "The New Record of the Ten Driving Zhai Yang" and the "Qianyantang Anthology", which were later praised as "a generation of Confucians" with the same name as Gu Yanwu. In the forty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty, he was a scholar of the First Rank And a scholar, and served as an editor and lecturer of the Hanlin Academy. Well-known scholars of the Qing Dynasty also include the bibliophile Qian Zeng, the calligrapher Qian Tu, the poet Qian Lusi, and so on.
In modern times, the Qian family has seen a "blowout" phenomenon of talents, such as Qian Xuantong, Qian Mu, Qian Zhongshu, Qian Zhonghan, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Weichang, Qian Xuesen, Qian Zhengying, Qian Qichen, and so on, all of which are leaders. According to the current rough statistics, among the descendants of Wu Yue Qian, there are more than 100 academicians of the Contemporary Academy of Sciences at home and abroad, such as Qian Zhonghan, an automation expert, Qian Lingxi, an engineering mechanician, and Qian Minggao, an expert in mining engineering. The descendants of the Qian family are spread across the five continents of the world, in addition to politicians, writers... It can be said that they are a famous family, and they are indeed deserved.
In the "Qian Family Training" of the Qian Ancestral Hall in Wuxi, there is such a sentence: Profit is not sought in one body, and those who benefit the world must seek it, perhaps this is the driving force for the Qian family to cultivate countless elite masters for the Chinese nation
Today, "Qian Xuesen's question" - why can't we cultivate great masters with international influence? -- It is becoming the focus of discussion in all walks of life. Yeah, how can our universities produce innovative talent? Perhaps we can seek answers from the family history of the Qian family, after all, a family history is also a social history and cultural history, how to inherit and carry forward their humanistic spirit, this is really a very meaningful question.
