In the past, in the ancient times when the social economy was not developed, the classification of industries was relatively extensive, but there were also 360 sayings, and the modern industry was refined, so the natural categories were more numerous.
There is a saying in the ancient folk proverb that "three hundred and sixty lines, no ancestor and no standing", that is, every industry has its own founding ancestor.
But this founding ancestor is not in vain, and he must meet certain conditions to be qualified to be.
For example, this person is the inventor of a certain skill; or a person who has made a significant contribution to the formation of an industry; or a historical figure who has worked in this industry; and finally, from a legend, a certain god is related to this industry.
For example, Lu Ban can be the grandfather of tile, wood, stone, rope, and shed craftsman because he is a skilled craftsman himself; Meng Tian can be the grandfather of the pen making industry, which is the legendary brush is his invention, Xu Xiake, as the ancestor of tourism, is also the ancestor of the motherland, and Dongfang Shuoneng is the grandfather of xiangshengxing, mainly he was the excellent man of Emperor Wu of Han.
Of course, there are several industries, they share the honor of a person as the grandfather, such as pawn industry, fortune telling industry, incense candle industry, silkworm industry, silk weaving industry, pastry industry, these industries all respect Guan Yu. That was because Second Master Guan was too famous and wanted to pull him over to elevate his status.
Similarly, in an industry, there may be several grandfathers. Like the salt industry, there are Guan Zhong, Xuan You, Zhang Fei, Yan Di, Lu Ban, etc., mainly because some of their legends are related to this industry.
It is some professions that are despised by people, and there are also their own grandfathers, just like the grandfather of the thief is shi qian, and the grandfather of the pirate is Sun En.
The thief's grandfather is timely, and everyone can understand, because in "Water Margin", Shi Qian, as a gentleman on the beam, has the ability to steal chickens and touch dogs.
However, the ancestor of the pirate is Sun En, and there are not many people who generally understand it. So, what qualifications does Sun En have to be this grandfather?
Sun Eun (?) –402), courtesy name Lingxiu, was born from the Langya Sun clan and was a descendant of Yongjia Nandu.
Yongjia Nandu is 307-311 AD (Western Jin Dynasty Yongjia period), the northern soldiers in order to escape the chaos of war, have crossed the river south, some of the surnames of the family, up to thousands of people, history of this period of the northern people to the south, called "Yongjia Nandu".
Sun En was a descendant of the Langya Sun clan after the Southern Crossing, and he himself was born in Huiji. Their family has been worshipping the Five Buckets of Rice for generations.
Founded by Zhang Daoling during the Reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wudou Mi Dao spread mainly among peasants. Because those who enter the Dao must produce five buckets of rice, the name is so, and the believers respect Zhang Daoling as the Heavenly Master.
In 399 (the third year of Long'an), Sima Yuanxian recruited a large number of people who had become tenants because the Three Wu Gate Valves were exempted from the status of officials and slaves, and went to Jiankang to enrich the soldiers, called "Le Genus".
But this mentally retarded measure of his is unpopular at both ends, so it arouses the dissatisfaction of the whole society.
Why is the social response so great?
Let's talk about these door valves first, because these slaves belong to the private property of the door valve bureaucrats, and if you recruit soldiers like this, it is equivalent to confiscating the property of these bureaucrats for no reason, and of course they will not do it.
What about the slaves? Their fathers and grandfathers, or themselves slaves in the past, were now freed from landlord tenants, and their status improved slightly, but once they were conscripted, they were again faced with being deprived of what little freedom they had, so they complained.
Taking advantage of the unstable people's hearts, Sun En led the crowd to take the opportunity to attack Shangyu, and after winning the battle, he conquered Huiji, and Wang Ningzhi of Huiji's internal history was killed, and Sun En's people increased to tens of thousands.
At that time, the three Wu and eight counties such as Huiji County and Wu County all rebelled, and Sun En's people also reached hundreds of thousands.
Faced with such a burning situation, the Eastern Jin dynasty hurriedly sent the Wei general Xie Yan and the famous general Liu Gaozhi to lead the Northern Fu soldiers to suppress it. The Beifu soldiers were the elite troops of the imperial court and fought very fiercely.
Although Sun En claimed to have hundreds of thousands of troops, they were all rabble-rousers, and behind the rebel army, there were also a large number of women and children and relatives, and naturally they were not opponents of the regular army. These people were about to collapse at the touch, and Sun En had to return to the Zhoushan Islands with tens of thousands of subordinates, along with more than 200,000 people from his family, waiting for the opportunity to try to do it again.
This was the first time he had left the mainland and fled to an isolated island.
In May 400 (the fourth year of Long'an), Sun En led his troops to attack Huankou, entered Yuyao, broke Shangyu, and after hitting Xingpu, he was repulsed by the general Xie Yan and Liu Xuanzhi.
Shortly after retreating, he reorganized his efforts and marched into Xingpu again, and approached Huiji. This time there was still a big gain, and Xie Yan, who was defending the city, went to battle and was killed in battle.
Xie Yan's death in battle alarmed the imperial court, and huan bucai, Sun Wujie, and Gao's leaders were sent to suppress it, but they were all defeated by Sun En.
At this time, the imperial court could not see that Sun En's offensive momentum could not be covered, and could only send his nemesis Liu Jiaozhi to send troops, and when One of Liu Prison came, Sun En was defeated again and fled to the island again.
In February 401 (the fifth year of Long'an), Sun En led his people to land for the third time, and the location of the attack was again chosen at Huankou, and after winning the battle, he attacked Juzhang, but before he could capture it, Liu Jiaozhi's army arrived, and Sun En hurriedly withdrew to the island.
The last time he ran faster, Sun En did not suffer any losses, so after a month of repairs, the fourth landing.
This time he chose the attack point of Haiyan. Although he evaded the army of his nemesis Liu Gaozhi, he encountered Yan Luo and the general Liu Yu.
Sun En fled south along the coast after his defeat, but Liu Yu followed in pursuit of his ass, and Sun En fled again into the sea from Huankou after the defeat of Hudu.
This time, the losses were relatively heavy, so after escaping to the island, they rested for a year before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
In March 402 (the first year of Yuan Xing), taking advantage of the chaotic opportunity of the change of new people in the imperial court, Sun En announced for the fifth time: Xiao Qiang, who cannot die, is back!
This time he chose to attack from Linhai County, but when he met his "impermanent" Liu Yu, Sun En would not always be so lucky, and after being defeated by Liu Yu, Sun En had few soldiers at hand. At this time, Sun En, who was cornered, had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea.
?
After Sun En's death, the remaining subordinates elected his brother-in-law Lu Xun as the leader and continued to oppose the Jin.
Lu Xun was relatively cautious, leading these remnants to persist for another 9 years, and in March 411, he was suppressed by Liu Yu's troops, and Lu Xun was defeated and killed.
At this point, the rebellion of Sun Enlu, which had been chaotic for more than ten years in the east and south of the Yangtze River, was finally quelled.
After Sun En's death, he was called "Narcissus" by his followers, which was naturally a god in the water, so he was later revered by pirates as a grandfather, which is also a well-deserved name.
