When it comes to "Bao Zheng", what comes to mind of the Chinese people must be
The classic TV series "Bao Qingtian" starring teacher Jin Chaoqun
。
Since its inception in 1993, this drama has rapidly swept through our country, teacher Jin played the black-faced bao gong iron-faced selfless, just and upright, Zhan Zhao handsome and dashing people can not take their eyes off, the dynasty Mahan dedication and loyalty is admirable...
I still remember the popular theme song, everyone would sing two sentences: "Kaifeng has a bag qingtian, the iron mask selflessly distinguishes between loyalty and adultery"... It can be said that both the actors and the songs are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
There are countless folk operas and stories and legends about Bao Zheng, most of which depict the fair and honest image of Bao Zheng when he decided the case, and the people all loved him and affectionately called him "Qingtian Grand Master".
Teacher Jin Chaoqun plays Bao Zheng
Whether it is a folk tale or a TV series, Bao Zheng gives the impression that his dark face shows majesty.
There is a crescent mark on the center of the forehead, which is highly recognizable.
In fact, in history, there is indeed Bao Zheng, who was a prestigious Kaifeng Prefecture during the Northern Song Dynasty, and was deeply loved by the emperor because of his own honesty and honesty as an official.
The story of Bao Zheng's judgment of the case has also been widely circulated, and he has cracked countless difficult cases of large and small sizes during his tenure, and in the process of judging the case, he has shown full fortitude and integrity, and has not flattered the powerful.
He was a good clean official in the hearts of the common people, so the people gave him the reputation of "Bao Qingtian", and later generations also often used Bao Qingtian to describe some honest and good officials with two sleeves and a clean wind.
01 Loyalty and filial piety to save the end of the ding prosperous
In 999, the second year of Emperor Zhenzong Xianping of song, Bao Zheng was born in Luzhou, Anhui Province, and he was very intelligent and wise when he was a child, and his parents also had high hopes for him and carefully cultivated him.
Bao Zheng read and writes every day, learns the way of being an official, and is also filial piety, and he has a lofty ambition in his heart: to live up to his parents' expectations, and strive to do good deeds for the people!
In 1027, Bao Zheng was honored as a jinshidi, because Bao Zheng was a filial piety who could have gone to a distant place to serve as an official, but he considered the old age of his parents and chose to serve nearby.
In his own words,
In life, the time for filial piety to one's parents is limited
And bowing down to the country can be done until his own death - the latter is longer, as long as he is alive for one day, he can always serve the country!
I have to say that Bao Zheng's views are quite up to date, and they have also done it to a certain extent
"Loyalty and filial piety".
It is true that the bao zheng of the official is also like the performance in the opera stage or in the film and television drama, and he checks out corrupt officials to be firm and decisive, and never covers up.
And in front of Emperor Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, he was like Wei Zheng, who dared to give direct advice to Tang Taizong.
He would rather "offend" the majesty and give advice to the emperor, and even impeached Zhang Guifei's uncle!
Bao Zheng's career developed well, but the marriage and family life was slightly unsatisfactory, and his wife died not long after he became related to him, leaving a son Bao Qi.

But the weather was unpredictable, and this eldest son also died immediately after him, and Bao Zheng naturally did not want to die: seeing that he was nearly sixty years old, he faced the pain of losing his son after sending his wife away...
Later, in order to continue the Bao family's incense, Bao Zheng married a second wife, and she gave birth to three children.
Later, Bao Zheng's concubine also gave birth to a boy for him, whose name was Bao Shou (包绶), also known as Bao Sheng.
However, not long after the birth of this young son, he was brought back to his mother by the concubine to raise himself, until at Bao Zheng's birthday party, his daughter-in-law found this little son for Bao Zheng.
At this time, Lord Bao no longer has to worry about the problem of childlessness under his knees.
After this, Bao Zheng,the younger son who was trained by Bao Zheng to become an official of the imperial court, also gave birth to four grandchildren and three granddaughters for Bao Zheng, and the Bao family was considered to be prosperous and had a good IQ.
02 Bao Yugang, the 29th generation heir of Bao Zheng, is full of enthusiasm for the motherland
2 kilometers away from Xiaoli Man Village in Hefei, Anhui Province, there stands a small ancestral hall, which is square and dignified, and the appearance of green brick and white walls is a typical emblem-style building.
Although there is no tall archway gatehouse to fill the scene, as long as tourists see the plaque on it, they cannot help but be awe-inspired.
Because this is the Bao Ancestral Hall of the Bao Zheng Family!
On weekdays, it stays in its hometown so quietly and peacefully, witnessing the changes in the world, and silently telling thousands of stories of the Bao family, including their legendary life...
Bao Yugang
It is the 29th generation of Bao Zheng, which can be described as one
"Super rich"!
However, he belongs to the self-made type, when he was a child, he came to Hong Kong with his family after living in poverty, in this land of hope, he finally broke out of his career and became a rich man with the wisdom and indomitable spirit of the Lao Bao family
"World Ship King Bao Yugang"
Honorary salutation.
However, he was not born in Bao Zheng's hometown of Anhui, but was far away in Ningbo, Zhejiang, so Bao Yugang did not know that he was Bao Zheng's descendant at the beginning.
It was not until 1984, when the then 66-year-old Bao Yugang returned to Ningbo from Hong Kong and discovered his origins when he visited the famous Tianyi Pavilion with his wife.
There are many ancient genealogies hidden in tianyi pavilions, and the curator learns that Bao Yugang came to find out the bao family tree and told him that his ancestor is Bao Zheng!
When Bao Yugang flipped through the family tree, he saw the names of himself and his father and brother, and even more so
"Blue Sky Grand Master"
The names are listed in it!
After learning of this fact, Bao Yugang was extremely excited, and when he admired his ancestors, he was even more proud of his roots in China.
And Bao Yugang also practiced his patriotic deeds, and really made great contributions to China in the early stage of reform and opening up!
At that time, under the traditional planned economic system, the development of China's shipbuilding industry was not ideal, and it lacked relevant experience to go abroad.
As the "World Ship King", Bao Yugang obviously knew this well, so he returned to the motherland on the pretext of visiting his relatives and took his ship.
There is no doubt that Bao Yugang, who has rich resources, is an important object of cooperation in the motherland.
He gave the motherland a $10 million check to support the construction and development of the motherland.
A year later, Pao signed a joint venture agreement in Beijing, and the Hong Kong Division also established the International United Communications Investment Co., Ltd., which opened up the Hong Kong market to China's shipbuilding business to the greatest extent.
At this point, the development of China's shipbuilding industry has entered a turning point and developed rapidly.
Of course, Mr. Bao Yugang's efforts are far more than this, in addition to supporting the development of the shipbuilding industry, he also did not forget to invest in education and tourism: not only built a modern tourist hotel Zhaolong Hotel in Beijing, but also helped build Ningbo University, Shanghai Jiaotong University Bao Zhaolong Library, etc., and also set up Bao Zhaolong and Bao Yugang Scholarships for outstanding international students...
It can be said that this great descendant of Bao Zheng,
Like the ancestors, there is patriotic and loyal blood flowing in the body!
03 Bao Xianliang and his wife silently guard the road of the ancestral hall
Let's talk about another Bao family heir, Bao Xianliang, who lives in Bao Village, Hefei, Anhui Province, which is bao Zheng's birthplace.
When Bao Xianliang was young, most of the people in the village went to the city to work in order to live a better life, but Bao Xianliang preferred to stay in the village rather than go out!
Someone has to ask: Is it because he has other earned work in the village and is not willing to go out to suffer?
Actually, he didn't have a job, but he did have a job that he thought was important—
Guard the Bao Zheng Ancestral Hall!
Some people think that this Bao Xianliang is an old stubborn, dead-headed person, few people to deeply understand his heart, he is more in the inheritance of an indelible spirit.
We can also see this persistent emotion in the story of him and his wife Huang Qilian's twenty years of observance of the temple.
The Bao Ancestral Hall with red beams and black pillars was originally an ancestral hall surrounded by incense and incense, and the number of people visiting the shrine was endless
However, during the Republic of China period, it became an empty hall until it was later converted into a school building.
Then, the weather-beaten ancestral hall was destroyed and left unattended, and one villager even used it as a cattle breeding place, which is really regrettable.
In any case, the spirit of Bao Zheng deserves eternal praise, it is not only the faith in the hearts of Bao's descendants, but also the justice and fairness that millions of people aspire to.
Therefore, he and his wife began to repair the Bao ancestral hall and called on everyone to act together to guard the ancestral hall.
However, the process of protection is not smooth, and the collision of old and new things and the conflict of ideas always occur at any time and anywhere.
Fast forward to 2013, and a number of online media outlets have come to
"It is difficult for a clean official to break the family affairs"
For the headline, it is reported that the Bao couple guarded the ancestral hall twenty years later, facing a dispute over the development.
The story goes like this: Bao Xianliang's wife Huang Qilian confessed that she poured a lot of effort into this ancestral hall, for it, her husband gave up the opportunity to go out to work and just did some temporary work in the village, just so that someone could arrive at any time when they went to the ancestral hall, and as long as he had time, he would come here to clean up... Now that she was asked to hand over the keys because of development issues, she naturally refused to say anything.
However, Bao Xianqing, the 36th generation descendant of the Bao family who sought to develop, had another opinion: he believed that the ancestral hall was not owned by an individual, but a place to worship the ancestors of the Bao family, and now Huang Qilian was completely used as his own territory, causing the ancestral hall to lose a lot of development opportunities!
Arguably
"Speaking of justice and righteousness of the wife of the righteous",
Bao Xianliang and his wife did pay a lot for the ancestral hall, they gave up their personal lives to act as volunteer docents and cleaners, even though they had no salary to take, but they were willing.
Only because they are the descendants of Bao's family and want to pass on the spirit of Bao Gong at any time - this is also the reason why their stories are posted on the Internet, which triggers people to move.
Although the community workers have also coordinated many times, after all, this is a contradiction within the Bao clan, and they are not easy to intervene too much, so it has become a difficult family affair.
04 The spirit of Bao Zheng is deeply rooted in people's hearts
Some people may feel that when the matter of guarding the Bao Ancestral Hall involved a conflict of interest in the later stage, it seemed to add a layer of fog to that attachment.
However, it is undeniable that Bao Xianliang and his wife are benevolent and filial to each other, and we should not lightly say that they are stubborn from their refusal to develop this matter, and the lack of a scientific management system is not their fault, unfortunately, they are still involved in this dispute.
It is a pity that the obligations and responsibilities are fully attributed to money; but the development of the ancestral hall really depends on money...
Its practical significance is far more important than the development of the ancestral hall, even if Bao Xianliang and his wife guard the ancestral hall of the "original ecological appearance", it will not change people's views and dissemination of the spirit of Bao Zheng, because it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
