In 1993, Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain" was first published, describing the feud between the Bai family and the Lu family, and using their stories to reflect the great changes in society. Family became the focus of attention, and the conflict between blood and benevolence became the focus of the novel. In fact, Chinese attach great importance to the bloodline clan, and foreigners should not give in. There are four noble families in the world, which ones are they, and which one is on the list in China?
The Rothschilds are ranked fourth, a world-famous financial family. Considered the founder of the family was Meyer Rothschild, whose profession was currency trading, and under his leadership the Rothschild family rose rapidly. The tiger father has no dogs, and Meyer's five children are also playing a big role in the world, using the different exchange rates of each country to earn a lot of money.
The family flourished for a century, but with the rise of the United States, they slowly withered. In 1944, the Bretton Woods system was established, the dollar and gold were hooked, and the family could no longer make money on the exchange rate. What hit them even harder was that the family had a preference for several investments, which led to the collapse of their funds, and they could not regain their former glory.
The Saudi family, ranked third, has no doubt a significant connection to Saudi Arabia, the royal family that rules the country and established a political position in 1932, thus beginning their family mission of wealth and glory. Due to their location in the Middle East, their oil resources are very rich, so they have become a well-known family. The infighting in this family is more serious, because the struggle for the throne, the abolition of assassinations is often the case.
In second place is the Japanese Imperial Family, unlike the Saud family, they do not have the right to govern, but simply as a symbol of Japan, and naturally usurpation of the throne will not happen to them. Compared with the royal family of Saudi Arabia, the Japanese imperial family has lasted for many years, and since 660 BC, they have been firmly on the royal throne for thousands of years. However, the first emperor actually recorded in history was Tenmu, so the existence of the Japanese imperial family still needs to be examined.
According to legend, the first imperial family of Japan was Emperor Shenmu, they were the gods of Japan, so in order to maintain the majesty of the god clan, they did not have a surname, generally the last word of the man's name is Ren, and the last word of the woman's name is zi. Their tradition was that a woman could not inherit the throne, so a woman automatically broke away from the imperial family when she married, unless she was married to a member of the royal family.
The first in the ranking is the Kong family in China, which is a family bred by Confucius, a famous thinker and educator in China, which has always been called "the first in the world". Confucius lived during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so the Kong family has existed in the world for more than 5,500 years.
During the feudal period, because many dynasties respected Confucianism, especially since 134 BC, after the policy of exclusive confucianism came out, the Kong family was still called a small tree under the protection of the feudal monarch, and after years of preferential treatment, it has grown into a towering tree and become a typical example of China's ancient feudal family system. Many of Confucius's descendants engaged in work related to Confucianism and even became representatives of Confucius Institutes.
The influence of these four major families is rare in the world, although a few have declined and no longer have their original glory, but their great names have also left traces in the history of Youth.
