Speaking of family lineage, it is easy to remind people of that famous passage.
Hu Lancheng first met Zhang Ailing that year and wrote an article "On Zhang Ailing", which mentioned the relationship between Zhang Ailing and Li Hongzhang.
Simply put, Zhang Ailing's grandmother is Li Hongzhang's daughter.
Zhang Ailing herself is also quite comfortable with this.
I didn't want to annoy a heroine, the female writer Pan Liudai at the time.
Pan Liudai wrote an article "On Hu Lancheng on Zhang Ailing", about the relationship between Zhang Ailing and Li Hongzhang, writing:
"In fact, this relationship is like drowning a chicken in the Pacific Ocean, and the Shanghainese eat tap water from the Huangpu River and say to themselves as the distance of 'drinking chicken soup.'"
Not to mention the twists and turns, only to say that the two sides are sensitive and entangled in this matter, which just reflects that both sides are very concerned about the family lineage.
Zhang Ailing cares, Hu Lancheng cares, and Pan Liudai's vitriol also cares. And our understanding of this kind of passage is actually also concerned.

In our culture, the concept of family is heavy, family affection, and blood, so there is often a complex for family stories, legends, and family celebrities.
Although this concept is becoming increasingly weak in modern society, its significance is still great.
This significance mainly lies in the life story and spiritual inheritance of the ancestors of the family, together with some family training and family style, which will form a family spirit and culture, and the moisturizer will silently infiltrate the temperament of future generations.
Genetically complex, pedigree, but we do feel the resemblance of some people to their relatives.
From this we can deduce that those distant ancestors who have the same roots and origins must have similarities with us in some places.
Based on the inheritance of blood and family culture, I believe that there must be some relationship between those families that have been passed down from generation to generation and individuals.
Of course, this relationship is complex and secretive, and cannot give a clear context or a tangible evidence.
Three
In addition to the family style, family training, family stories passed down from generation to generation, family celebrities, as amplified and understandable characters, will of course become a specific and perceptible object of admiration.
It is not that the dragon is chased by celebrities, but the obscure and ordinary ancestors, who we have no way of knowing.
If you can temporarily see through the worldly identity of the high and low, from the temperament, temperament, and some other subtle details, then this kind of relish for family celebrities is actually a simple sense of family identity.
Of course, ordinary people can't see through the world's high and low, which is normal. So when it comes to family celebrities, in fact, we all have a certain vanity to a greater or lesser extent.
This kind of vanity, as a kind of remembrance and admiration in the sense of blood, is actually an upward force that promotes people to be good and beautiful.
Out of an instinctive choice and subsequent processing and refining, your legendary ancestors must be shaped beautiful and sublime, and to follow such ancestors is to give yourself a brilliant example. Pretty good.

Far from it. Tell us about Marshal Xu Qianqian's family lineage.
Xu Shuai is from the Wutai Xu clan in Shanxi.
The Wutai Xu clan moved to Wutai probably in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
The first generation was named Xu Caifu, and was revered as the ancestor of the Wutai Xu clan.
Xu Wenyuan, who continued to the fourth generation, gave birth to nine sons and thirty-six grandchildren, and the people gradually prospered, starting with the "Kechang Clan".
It was also from Xu Wenyuan that there were readers among the children of the family.
Since then, it has continued to develop and gradually flourish. "Ding Is changyi, portal Zhang yi, or Wen or Wu, yiguan guangyi".
According to statistics, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, 147 people were famous. Among them are celebrities and scholars. The most famous is Xu Jiyu, the author of "Yinghuan Zhiluo".
Xu Jihu and Xu Xiangqian are the same sect, both originating from the fourth generation of Xu Wenyuan.
Xu Wenyuan gave birth to nine sons, all of which opened branches and scattered leaves, forming nine branches.
Xu Jihuan belongs to the fifteenth generation of the second branch, and Xu Xiangqian belongs to the nineteenth generation of the third branch.
(From right to left: Xu Caifu, the ancestor of the Wutai Xu clan, Xu Wenyuan, Xu Jihuan, and Xu Xiangqian.) Kind of god-like isn't it? ）
This kind of relationship, according to Pan Liudai's words, may not even be able to drink chicken soup, but in the discussion of the family elders, this "sincere and simple" (Xianfeng Emperor language), erudite, visionary, responsible uncle still left a deep impression on Xu Shuai.
In his later years, Xu Shuai paid great attention to the research of Xu Jihu at home and abroad, and had specially borrowed "Xu Jihu and His Yinghuan Zhiluo", and listened to relevant reports at home and abroad many times, and several times wrote inscriptions for Xu Jihu Memorial Hall, Research Society, complete works and so on.
This kind of image of the ancestors that has been struck into my heart since childhood, I do not believe that it has no impact on a person.
In the memoirs, Xu Shuai specifically mentions that this ancestor was deposed for his words, and he had to continue to serve his sentence after death, and the coffin was tied with chains.
This scene with strong colors enters the heart of a child and becomes a distinctive mark, which plays a role in both concealment and manifestation throughout his life.
Xu Shuai's cautious self-sufficiency may have something to do with this subconscious scene.
Of course, these are also empty associations, without any strong evidence. It's just a feeling.

Five
Marshal Xu Qianqian's earliest contact when he was a child, and he still recites the flow of words when he is old, that is, the "family training" of the Xu family,—— written by the fourteenth emperor of the Wutai Xu clan and also by Xu Jihu's father, Sun Xu Rundi, to remember the matter of xu Wenyuan, the fourth ancestor.
Cuckoo Chapter:
Cuckoo urged farming, brother tears.
Have a brother without a mother, a mother without a mother?
Negative me, hug my weak brother, suitable for the south acre.
Miao shuo, brother He Xiao, brother also cares about it, and works hard.
The brother is long, the brother is old, the brother is also a matter, and his selfish heart is not over: "Tuotuo Haohao, the pool of water is a rush." Is it not enough? ”
"The descendants of the world, the descendants of only brothers, are relatives or gentlemen, dare or insult, god does not bless!" ”
This is not a family training in the general sense, but more like a high-level soft text.
Apart from recounting his origins, asking his descendants to repay their kindness, and making good friends and friendships with their brothers' descendants, there is no positive or specific admonition.
But in this kind of text, you can feel the deep brotherly feelings, you can feel the gratitude of the map, and you can also feel the diligence and self-sufficiency of the ancestors and the hardships are not easy - negative, holding weak brothers, and ploughing in the south acres - this scene is full of taste.
Under the influence of this family style, the descendants of the Wutai Xu clan generally showed a family personality of Neutrality and peace, emphasizing family affection and morality.

Of course, people are different, the environment is complex, and under the combined action of various factors, the way and degree of family culture play a role in each person is different, just like in a certain atmosphere, some people cry and some people laugh and some people have no feeling at all.
Therefore, it is a "family personality", which is from the overall point of view, can not be specific to each person, nor can it be uniformly allocated to each person.
But as a subconscious, as a spiritual temperament, family culture still plays a role implicitly, tortuously, and silently.
Imagine:
When the picture of "Cuckoo Chapter" is engraved in the heart of a child, benevolence is engraved in his heart, brothers are engraved in his heart, simplicity and decency are engraved in his heart, and the hardships and hardships of ancestors are engraved in his heart.
When Xu Jihu's light shines into a child's heart, glory shines into his heart, reading shines into his heart, responsibility and morality are engraved in his heart, and the immortal merit and the chains that are still wrapped around the coffin after death shine into his heart.

An austrian poet Rilke's poem, which I think is particularly appropriate, concludes with this.
self-portrait
The resilience of a family, an ancient and prominent family
Lurking in the thick black arc of the eyebrows. eye
Gentle azure, containing a child's pious pain
And a little humility, not the kind of foolish humility—
It was feminine: like the expression of a waiter.
The appearance of the mouth is very ordinary, the lines are wide and straight,
Calm and quiet, but also without hesitation when necessary.
The forehead does not seem to have been printed with the vicissitudes of the world,
Like to be in the shadows, used to look down more than look up.
All of this, on the whole, is just hazy images —
Never, whether in moments of happiness or suffering,
Cause a solid, immutable result;
However, it was as if there was some kind of power, from far away,
A serious and great work is planned with scattered things.
It took five hundred twists to break his neck in his previous life in exchange for the fate of this life.
