Chinese culture has a long history, surname culture is one of the oldest and most closely related to life, behind each surname has a deep historical origin, behind each surname is often hidden behind this paragraph, little known story. For example, behind the compound surname "Xu Shi" mentioned today, since it is a foreign prince who wandered in China, he discovered various past events.
Things start in 1966, in the Quanzhou generation, there is a deeply hidden ancient tomb called "Shijia Pit". One day, an archaeologist accidentally entered the ancient tomb group, and the archaeologist immediately reported the matter to the local cultural relics bureau.
Soon, this ancient tomb, which was originally unknown to no one, became a well-known place in Quanzhou. Everyone waited excitedly for the excavation of the ancient tomb, and then unlocked the identity of the owner of the tomb. But in an ordinary house in Quanzhou, a woman was restless because her family's ancestral grave had been found.
The woman' name was Xu Shiyin'e, and after the discovery of the world pit, Xu Shiyin'e immediately found the local cultural relics protection department, and she asked to stop the excavation immediately, because it was her family tomb.
The experts did not think so after listening, thinking that they were a person who took advantage of the news after seeing it. Unexpectedly, Xu Shiyin'e took out a family tree, and the experts were surprised to see it, and the family tree actually matched the records of the Shi family in the "Quanzhou FuZhi". Could it be that the girl in front of him is really his descendant?
Xu Shiyin saw that the experts were still full of disbelief, so she told the family's past. Xu Shiyin'e's great-grandmother had told her that the ancestor of the Xu family was the prince of Ceylon.
In 1429, the king of Ceylon sent the prince Shilipa Jiao to accompany Zheng He's fleet to China, but whoever wanted to go halfway to the road, the cousin of the prince of Ceylon usurped the throne, not only killing the prince's brothers, but also sending assassins to intercept the prince of Ceylon and prevent him from returning to Ceylon. The prince of Ceylon had to flee to Quanzhou, then changed his Chinese surname and married a wife there to live.
The prince of Ceylon used the "Shi" surname in China, according to the reason, his heirs should also use the "Shi" surname, but in the generation of The Grandmother of Yin'e, there was no male in the family, so the Grandmother recruited a man with the surname of "Xu" into the family, and since then changed it to the surname of "Xu Shi", which is very special and can be said to be neither a single surname nor a compound surname. After being confirmed by experts, the matter of Xu Shiyin'e spread throughout Quanzhou, and it turned out that such an interesting story had happened in Quanzhou.
After the news spread, in 2002, archaeologists from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) also made a special trip to Quanzhou, visited Xu Shiyin'e, and after getting consent, inspected the ancient tombs of the Prince of Ceylon family, and after many aspects of research, determined that this was the tomb of the Prince of Ceylon.
In June 2002, Sri Lanka issued an invitation to Xu Shiyin'e, hoping that the "Ceylon Princess" could return to her hometown to visit, and Xu Shiyin'e naturally agreed happily, which was something she had dreamed of.
Xu Shiyin'e, who came to Sri Lanka, received the highest standard of reception, for a full 10 days, Xu Shiyin'e traveled to several major cities in Sri Lanka, during which the Sri Lankan government had proposed to let Xu Shiyin'e stay in Sri Lanka and continue to be a "princess" admired by thousands of people, but Xu Shiyin'e refused, she said: I have taken root in China, and I still have to go back to guard the graves of my ancestors.
