Zheng's Seventeen Houses, located in Lipu Town, Zhenhai District, Ningbo City, is located in the village, famous for the Seventeen Houses, in 2001, the original Zhengjia, Roadside Zheng, Miaohou three villages merged into: Seventeen Fang Village.
Seventeen rooms, when you first hear this name, you will have questions, did the owner ever have 17 room aunts and wives? That's awesome, isn't it?
In China's famous "Hundred Family Names", "Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang", Zheng surname, actually ranked in the top seven, why is this?
Written in the Wuyue region in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ranking order of "Hundred Family Names" is very exquisite, and the ranking of each surname has its historical reasons.
The surname Zhao was the royal surname at that time, so it ranked first.
In 978, Qian Qi, the king of Wuyue, together with his wife Sun Taizhen, went to Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, to claim subjection to Emperor Taizong of Song, and Qian's subordination not only saved the people from the suffering of war and the destruction of life, but also unified the territory, which was well received by the government and the public, so the Qian surname was second only to the royal surname.
Qian's wife, Sun Taizhen, was made the imperial concubine of Wu Yueguo by Emperor Taizong of Song, and the surname Sun ranked third.
In 975, the Song army captured Jinling, and Li Yubing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Hou, defeated the Song and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Disobedience, "When is the spring flower and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past", the Southern Tang Li surname, so it ranked fourth.
So, Zheng, why is it ranked seventh?
In 806 BC, Ji Jing, the son of King Ji Hu of Zhou, gave the eastern title of Hua County in Shaanxi to his younger brother Ji You, who was the name of Zheng Guo, taking the state as a clan, called Zheng Shi.
In 771 BC, Inu Rong attacked and captured HoJing, and The King of Zheng Guo, Ji You, was killed, and his courtesy name Huan (桓), known as Zheng Huan (郑桓公), was the ancestor of the Zheng surname.
In 375 BC, the State of Zheng was destroyed by Korea, and the people of Zhengzhou scattered in Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Huaiyang, Shangqiu and other places, in order to commemorate the homeland, the Zheng people successively changed their surname to Zheng, and the population of the Zheng surname increased significantly.
In 960, Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao mutinied, replacing Later Zhou and establishing the Northern Song Dynasty, and the last emperor of Later Zhou, Chai Zongxun, was given the title of King of Zheng.
Zheng surname, so ranked first, ranked seventh.
The population surnamed Zheng is originally living in the Central Plains, so when did the Zheng clan in Jiangnan start?
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in 895 AD, Dong Chang rebelled, and Zheng Pu of zhongyuan contributed to helping Qian Hao quell Dong Chang's rebellion, and served as the prince of Yuhang Prefecture, known as the Servant Shooting Gong.
In 907, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established Hou Liang, and Zheng Pu, the servant Duke of Liang, was reluctant to do liang, but he could not return to the capital Chang'an, nor to the Central Plains, so Zheng Pu, with his wife and five sons, lived in seclusion in Suichang, Zhejiang, and Zheng Pu was the ancestor of the Zheng clan in Zhejiang.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zheng Qi, the fifth grandson of Zheng Pu, joined the army as a recorder in Mingzhou and brought his family to Mingzhou, which is the earliest Zheng family in Ningbo.
Zheng Qi's son Zheng Yi, the official position of Yin County assistant teacher, the county administration of Yin County at that time was in Sanjiangkou, Song Zhezong Zhao Xu Yuan Fu years, Zheng Hub built a house in the "Big Pond Head", Dachitou is located in front of the KaimingFang, between Jishan Bridge and Yuqing Bridge, which is now the location of Ningbo Tianyi Square, Zheng's population is increasing, and the scale of Zheng House is getting bigger and bigger.
In the third year of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1129 AD, the Jin soldiers drove straight south, song Gaozong fled through Ningbo, the Jin soldiers chased after them, Mingzhou was in distress, and the Zheng clan people scattered and fled.
Zhengjia Village in Zhangshui Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City, and the Zheng family surnamed Zheng in Yinwan, Dongqianhu Town, Yinzhou District, began in 1129 AD.
During the period when the Zheng clan people were scattered and fled, Zheng Liangzhi, who was then the commander of the Southern Song Dynasty military department, moved his family to "Lingxu Township in Lipu, along the Yangtang Road of The Mountain".
After Zheng Liangzhi's death, he was given the title Marquis of Jing, and Zheng Liangzhi, the Duke of Jinghou, became the ancestor of the Zheng surname of Lipu.
The Tang Road of the Yang of the Mountain, commonly known as the road edge of Zheng, records in the "Genealogy of the Zheng Clan of Lipu", "The Seventeenth House of the Zheng Family, jinghou, the yangtang road of the Mountain of Buju Lingxu Township, was divided into three rooms in the east, west and center. ”
Zheng Jun, the sixth grandson of the Zheng clan, ranked seventeenth among his peers, and was later honored as the seventeenth prince, his mansion, so he was called the Seventeenth Room.
The "Genealogy of the Zheng Clan of Lipu" records: "My clan from the Jinghou Gongbu Jutang Road, after the three rooms of the East and west, the lineage was lost, extended to Dao 1, Dao 2, dao 3. Dao 2 was separated from the temple base head (now part of the seventeenth room), and later changed the way 2 to An 2. Born four sons one text two text three text four. Wen Si separated from the temple base and lived in the new house (located in the west of Xingfang and south of Hengdefang). Dongfang Weidao three great-grandson Wen Ten, Wen Shi Sheng Min Twenty-two, Min Twenty-two Sheng, the word Dong Cang ranked positive seventeen, to the old house is not enough to live, but in the northwest corner of the old house, do not camp the new house, people with the public line seventeen, so the name of the house for seventeen rooms. ”
Seventeen rooms, not 17 aunts, but the master ranked seventeenth among his peers, and the doubt was eliminated.
The Zheng clan has multiplied and grown over the centuries, and its scale has been expanding, forming the current Seventeen-Fang Village.
The village as a whole is in the shape of a checkerboard, and most of the existing buildings were built during the Qianlong to Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, with buildings as units, connected to each other into courtyards, integrating the magnificent atmosphere of the northern "courtyard" and soaking in the exquisite exquisite elegance of the southern buildings.
Zheng's seventeen rooms include zheng central house, east room, west room along the road; temple base head full of zheng fang; Zheng family village three-room hall front, dazutang room, small nine rooms, Hengde room, Hengxiang room, houtang building, Xingfang, stacking room, Yuanmao house, standing house, Dingfeng room, pawn house, Dangdian house, Zheng's ancestral hall, etc., is one of the largest existing and well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty ancient architectural villages, has important value for the study of Qing Dynasty architectural history, so it was opened up as Zheng's seventeen-room scenic spot, and later changed to Zheng's seventeen-room Kaiyuan Resort.
In 2013, after the 25-episode TV series "Zheng's Seventeen Rooms" was broadcast, Zheng's Seventeen Houses once became a popular attraction in Ningbo.
Zheng's Seventeen Houses is also one of the earliest birthplaces of the Ningbo Shang Gang, with a street in the house, a city in the street, a shop in the city, a shop, and a square. There is a river ring outside the house, the family has a port, the riverside small bridge flows, the willow whisks the bank, the reflection is oblique, the small river passes through the big river, and the water system leads directly to Ningbo and the sea.
The river outside the house is called Qishui, and there is a bridge on the water, called Qishui Bridge.
In the introduction of the Seventeen Rooms Scenic Area of the Zheng Family, the couplet about "Qishui" inscribed by the eleventh son of the Qianlong Emperor, Prince Cheng, Ai Xinjueluo Yongyao, is described as a praise for the Qishui of the Seventeenth Room, which is an obvious error, and Zhang Guan Li Dai is necessary to point out the correction here.
The couplet inscribed by Prince Cheng about "Qi Shui" is not his original, but only his calligraphy work.
The original couplet is from the Tang Dynasty, and the Quan Tang Wen contains, "Gong Xian Yue: Taihang Pine Snow, Reflecting the Blue Sky." Servant answered: Ki shisha waves, half containing spring color. ”
This is the origin of the couplet, the original author Zhang Chu, the couplet:
Ki shisha wave semi-spring color,
Taihang pine snow reflects the blue sky.
The Qishui River, which originates in Lingchuan County, Shanxi Province, refers to the Qishui River, which is a tributary of the Yellow River.
The Taihang Mentioned in the Couplet refers to the Taihang Mountains, which stretch between Shanxi Province and the North China Plain.
This couplet is written about the Taihang Qishui, a unique scenery of spring light and pine snow in the warm and cold early spring season.
Ming Ming wrote is Taihang Qishui, But Zheng's Seventeen Rooms Scenic Area is taken out of context, only the first half of the sentence, said to be praising the Qishui of the SeventeenTh Room, Pi Qishui, not this Qishui.
When Zhang Chu of the Tang Dynasty wrote the couplet, there was no Zheng Seventeen Rooms, and prince Cheng of the Qing Dynasty did not know the Seventeen Rooms of the Zheng Family, let alone that the Seventeen Rooms of the Zheng Family had Qi Shui.
Zheng's Seventeen Rooms Scenic Area, Zhang Guan Li Dai, is actually an undesirable mistake and should be corrected.
