The second fold of Ma Zhiyuan's "Yueyang Lou": "But if you have a man and a half a woman, you will never get the incense in the Guo's door"
In the ancient feudal society, if there were no boys in the family family, it was equivalent to a queen. Especially for those wealthy merchant families, the family property may be divided among the clansmen. In the TV series, it is often seen that the harem lady fights to the death for the position of the prince, and as for the "borrowing belly to give birth" thing, it is frequently staged in the harem. The main purpose of this is to get a good future. If there is no heir in the family, it involves a lot of things, and it is related to the fate of the family to a small extent, but to a large extent, it may be related to the Jiangshan Society. Kong Decheng, the last Chinese duke of Yansheng, was born in a rather large battle, and the state sent generals to sit in the town, even the governor of Shandong Province at that time came to supervise, and the relevant departments fired 13 cannons for him. To make such a sensation is to be afraid that the child will be replaced. When he was born, the state sent a general in charge, and the governor personally came to supervise it, in case the tanuki cat was replaced by a prince
There are many Chinese ideological theories, but it is Confucianism that is recognized as orthodox. Although Qin Shi Huang did the "book burning pit Confucianism", it did not hinder the development of Confucianism. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it developed into "deposing a hundred families and respecting Confucianism alone", and since then, the status of Confucianism has officially stabilized. Beginning with Emperor Renzong of Song, Confucius's descendants were given the title of Duke of Yansheng, which was inherited by Confucius's family. I am afraid that even Confucius did not expect that there would be such an official after his death.
Since then, the title of The Holy Father has been continued, even if the dynasty falls, this title has also been passed down. Thousands of years of Confucian culture have had a great influence on China. Kong Decheng's father, Kong Lingyi, was the 30th generation of Yan Shenggong. Although he was born, although he did not catch up with the prosperity of the country, when the Republic of China had just been established, it did not affect his status at all, and the common people respected him very much.
In fact, in addition to spreading Confucian culture, Kong Lingyi also wanted to extend incense, which attracted much attention from the government of the Republic of China. However, even if Kong Lingyi had a wife and a concubine, he still had no offspring. In desperation, he adopted The close-fitting Wang Baocui as a concubine, and wanted the other party to give birth to a boy for himself, but unfortunately the first two were daughters. In 1919, Wang Baocui became pregnant again, which made the Kong family hope to give birth to the next generation of Yan Sheng Gong.
No one expected that Kong Lingyi was seriously ill at this moment and died without seeing the birth of the child. The child in Wang Baocui's belly has become the focus of everyone's attention. If it is a daughter, then no one will inherit the Anglican. There are also people who are worried about whether there is a "tanuki cat for a prince" idea. The Beiyang government was very concerned about this matter, so Wang Baocui's every move was monitored.
On the day the child was born, the government simply sent the army to surround the delivery room and set up many layers of sentry posts to prevent changes, and even the governor of Shandong Province came to the scene to sit in the place. Fortunately, Wang Baocui gave birth to a boy smoothly, and Kong Fu sounded thirteen gongs to inform him of the birth of the next Yan Sheng Gong. The whole qufu gong and drum was noisy, and the Beiyang government fired 13 salutes to celebrate the event. When he was born, the state sent a general in charge, and the governor personally came to supervise it, in case the tanuki cat was replaced by a prince
Unfortunately, 17 days after Kong Decheng's birth, his mother unfortunately died, so he was raised by his mother-in-law Tao shi from an early age, and was awarded the title of Yan Sheng Gong in 100 days. Although the status is very noble, but the life is very hard. My mother died at the age of 10, and since then I have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics with my teachers. Kong Decheng's talent is very good, not to insult the title of ancestor, and when he grows up, he becomes a new youth and accepts the ideas of new democracy. In 1935, Kong Decheng asked the Nationalist government to revoke the title of Yan Sheng Gong, which completely withdrew from the stage of history. After 1949, he came to Taiwan to spread Confucian culture and fulfilled the responsibility of a descendant of the Confucius family.
