In 832 AD, Chen Wang,in Changleli, Taiping Township, De'an County, Jiangzhou, at the foot of Lushan Mountain, opened a foundation and established a business, and in the fourth year of Tang Zhonghe (884), Emperor Tang felt that he had gathered together for his righteousness, and the imperial pen personally presented the "Yimen Chen Clan" plaque, and since then, Jiangzhou Yimen Chen has been famous for his watch.
Yimen Chen takes the clan as the gathering, the bloodline as the axis, the loyalty and filial piety as the foundation, the diligent and thrifty cultivation and reading the heirloom, which has been passed down for more than 330 years and has been passed down for fifteen generations, and is a big family of more than 3900 people. Eat a big pot of rice in the same pot, work together, and have a communal family commune with property. Established a management system of "selflessness to the public", "room selfless wealth, kitchen without other things", every food must sit in the hall, minors do not sit in one seat. Present the grand situation of "eight hundred cows ploughing the sun and the moon, and three thousand lights reading articles". It can be called a spectacle of cohabitation of the people, and it is known as the first in the world. It is for Yimen Chen ye.
Yimen Chen is an ideal social system of feudal scholars, a microcosm of the feelings of home and country, a social model of the structure of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness advocated by feudal society, and a historical and cultural symbol, a family wonder under the heavens.
Yimen Chen, the first in the world
Yimen Chen family, the family is big, the people are prosperous, more than 3,000 people live together, drumming and passing meals, a hundred dogs in the same groove, a radius of twenty miles, a city is even on it, the construction is connected. Ploughing and reading heirlooms, the day is eight hundred cattle ploughed on the ridge, and the night is three thousand lamps read in the school. There are more than 300 places in the village, more than 3900 people eat, its oil, salt, chai, rice, sauce and vinegar tea, eat and drink Lasa, marriage and funeral, sophistication, official and government, ushered in and sent, all have rules, have a special division of labor, special people are responsible, like a self-contained pastoral society. If you think about it, this big family, like the high civilization of the agrarian society, is the utopia of ancient China, more than 600 years before the British thinker Mohr envisioned.
Nowadays, we have entered the Internet age, the times have developed, concepts have been renewed, and society has progressed, but people's traditional morality of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness has instead slipped. Not to mention that 3900 people live together, it is difficult to serve 39 people. People's ecology, mentality, love and hatred are not the same as the past, no wonder some people lament that "people's hearts are not ancient"!
Yimen Chen not only has a great family, but also a wealth of talents, with 403 people and 58 jinshi. There are 29 people who are serving as officials in Beijing, and even more people who are serving as local officials. There are three prime ministers (Chen Shu, Chen Yaosu, chen Yaozuo), two (Chen Yaosu and Chen Yaozuo), and one list of three jinshi, eight Wenlong, nine talents, and five horses. In the fourth year of the Qing calendar alone (1044), more than 300 Yimen Chen people took the imperial examination. Yimen Chen relied on the support of this batch of scholars and doctors to develop and grow this big family.
There are praises: Mo Daodong liang gathered twenty and nine, and watched the wrestling dragon jump up four hundred and three.
Song University Scholar Chen Ce Lian:
Eight Wen Long Tong Deng Jin Shi Di, Qiu Miao Rune, Heavy Light Secret Supervisor Xianzhi;
The Nine Talents Qi Fold zhonghongke, the words are brilliant, like the legacy of the work.
Dr. Chen Xilian, a physician trained by Song Feng, said:
The wind of the five horses to gaoshi, the famous incense stay;
After the Eight Dragons chose Taiqiu, Shi Bu gathered stars.
Song Anti-Jin Hero Yue Fei Lian:
The Flag of a Thousand Miles greets the five horses;
Three in one yellow list.
Such a prominent family, some people in the imperial court who are officials, some people in the local government, three thousand illuminated readers in the family, and 800 cows in the field ploughing the field, is a miracle of the agricultural civilization of feudal society, and naturally the first in the world.
In modern times, the Yimen Chen people have also produced talents. It has been learned that chen duxiu, Chen Yun, Chen Yi, and Chen Geng of the Communist Party of China, Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu, elders of the Kuomintang, Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng, as well as Chen Baozhen, Chen Yinke, and other famous intellectuals, are all descendants of the various tribes analyzed by the Yimen Chen clan in Jiangzhou.
(Chen Men Wujie)
Ii. The Causes of Yimen Chen
The reasons for the formation of Yimen Chen are internal and external causes. There are three internal factors: the first is elite management, the capable are in charge, and the meritocracy is the only thing. An important reason why Yimen Chen has gone through hundreds of years is that parents have both moral integrity and ability, justice and integrity. Elected parents are of no distinction between age and age, no matter how big or small they are, who do not inherit from their elders, who are only virtuous and talented, who have the noble virtue of selflessness, the love of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, the spirit of sacrifice to safeguard the interests of the family, the ability to coordinate the relationship between the government and the people, and only those who are fair and upright can be in charge.
The Yimen Family Law clearly stipulates that those in power in the family should "choose those who are strong and resolute in their official duties, and choose those who are honest and talented, regardless of the number of years and months, and who are not as old as the elderly and young." ”
Parents are pushed, so they can make the ban, speak together, unite as one, take the name of the outside, and build in the industry, which is the foundation of the family's strength. From 849 AD, Chen Qing was the first head of the family, and in 1063, Chen Tai was the last head of the family, a total of 14. In the 226-year-long history of the family, he has left a good name of "outstanding political achievements and heroic names". Chen Tai ruled the family for 41 years, and Chen Liang praised Chen Taiyue in the Southern Song Dynasty: the head of the family, ten thousand opportunities poured into it; the strategizing, the governance was free; the day greeted the car and the horse, the night wrote poetry; the famous history, the merits of the world.
The second is democracy, which is the core of unity and harmony in Yimen Chen. Parental popularity is actually democratic election and democratic management. In the house of harmony, those who have a mouth are called "harmony"; those who can speak are called "harmonious" also.
Harmony is related to the mouth, and the function of the mouth is to eat and speak. How can it be disharmonious to have food to eat, and to be able to speak and express opinions, and to put forward opinions and suggestions? If there is silence, the family will surely decay. Yimen Chen is well versed in this way, so that there is a harmonious home, a home and everything. The home is like this, and so is the country.
Yimen Chen's democracy is not only reflected in politics, but also in the economy. The family property is shared, the family has no selfish wealth, works together, and is evenly distributed. No one is noble, and everything is equal. A kind of "roof topless, three-year-old child does not know his mother." The husband does not listen to the wife's partial words, and the cultivating man does not live in harmony with the suffering of the field" situation. The room is selfless, the kitchen is no different, the size is known, the inside and outside are the same, and the mellow and benevolent family style educates every family.
Lü Duan, the chancellor of the Northern Song Dynasty, visited Yimen in the third year of Duangong (988) to visit Dongjia Academy, survey the wonders, and gladly write poems. Poetry:
Eight hundred cows plough the sun and the moon, and three thousand lights read the article.
YongqingTan bottom watch the fish change, DongjiaGang listen to the warbler.
The third is to use family law and institutions to regulate behavior. The Yimen Chen family has strict family laws, family rules, family disciplines and strict management systems, and strict law enforcement parents, so the Yimen family has no idle people, no gambling thieves, and no attempts to seek private interests. Misdeeds such as prostitution, gambling, theft, alcoholism, and fighting shall be severely punished according to their circumstances. With whipping, the serious ones are "more than a criminal responsibility" and even imprisoned in the family prison staff. "The family adheres to the three-foot law, and the official province has five punishments." Because of the strict law enforcement, the clan members abide by the law, and the Righteous Gate Chen "has no words, and disputes are rare" and "three hundred years of imprisonment".
The Yimen Chen Family Law stipulates monogamy and no concubines. Male and female marriage family operations, the required materials, set standards, unified control. Gifts from daughters-in-law to their mothers-in-law's home are uniformly distributed by the family.
The family law stipulates that the new daughter-in-law, whether rich or poor, must go to the kitchen to practice for several months, "to handle the cooking matter" and "arrange the layout of the hall". This is both a labor exercise and a process of integration into a harmonious family.
The Family Law also stipulates that all women under the age of 45 are called "silkworm women" and must participate in labor. Silkworm women are in their prime, and there are many nursing children. In order to facilitate breastfeeding, a "nursery" is set up in the Silkworm Hospital, where hundreds of babies are waiting to be fed, and all babies are hungry and crying, whether they are biological or not, silkworm women will release their breasts and take the initiative to feed. So that the child is three years old and does not know who his biological mother is. According to the current scientific theory, children who grow up eating multiple breast milk are also exceptionally healthy and smart.
In the third year of Song Jingde (1006), a zhuangtian in Yunzhou (筠州, in present-day Gao'an, Jiangxi) was privately sold by Chen Zongzhi, a young man who was not xiaoxiao, and made a profit from it. Chen Yanxian passed by his own farmstead on his way to Ren, saw that the field was sold in the name of a rich family, and after profiting from the profit, he did not tell his parents, fearing that he would "fail to live up to His Majesty's holy grace by destroying the righteousness of his ancestors", so he sent a messenger to investigate and beg the emperor to return it according to law. The emperor then issued an edict severely punishing the loan and handled the matter impartially. Yimen family affairs, the emperor decreed, which shows the status and influence of the Yimen Chen family, and the tightness of the structure of the family and the country.
There is also an important internal reason for the longevity of Yimen Chen, that is, there are many talents, 403 people, 58th jinshi and 58th people, 29 Jingguan people, 3 prime ministers, and two champions. The 300-year history of a family is comparable to the share of talents in a city and a province, that is, these scholars and doctors are supported inside and outside, and Yu Guo is the pillar and Yu Jia is the master. The feelings of home and country composed by a group of intellectuals interpret the Spring and Autumn of Yimen Chen.
The external cause of Yimen Chen's long-lasting prosperity is the commendation of the imperial court and the support of the government, which has achieved the glory of Yimen Chen.
"Ask who is the first in the world, and xian said that only the righteous door Chen." Since Emperor Yimen Chen first made the "Yimen Chen Clan" by Emperor Yizong of Tang, he has been watched by seven emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties. There are as many as 27 inscriptions in the historical record, and the Ming and Qing dynasties also praised them many times. The supreme ruler gave Yimen Chen the supreme reputation, gave him the "True Liang Family", and ordered the construction of the Imperial Library, and gave the "Yuyin" plaque to exempt him from taxes and military service.
In the second year of Tang Guangqi (887), Chen Chong, the third head of Yimen Chen, built the jing table in front of the old main house, and later expanded the first, second and third gates.
The first link was given by Emperor Tang, and its union reads:
The Nine Heavens are precious and expensive; the ancient world is righteous and fragrant. Horizontal batch: Yimen Chen clan.
The second joint was given by Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi, and its union is as follows:
The three thousand mouths of the Ju clan are the first in the world; they have lived together for five hundred years and are unparalleled in the world. Yokozuna: True Good Family.
The third link was given by Zhao Heng, the True Emperor of Song, and its link is as follows:
More than three thousand mouths, five hundred years of filial piety. Horizontal batch: Righteous residents.
Emperor Taizong of Song also gave Jiangzhou Yimen Chen poems:
The Golden Gate Feast strikes the moon like silver, and the sound of ringing and admiration comes out of the Phoenix City.
Asked who was the first in Jiangnan, Xian said that only Yimen Chen.
Song Zhenzong inscription:
Zhuang is the first in the world in the seventy states, and the family gathers three thousand mouths that are unparalleled in the world.
Song Renzong titled Jiangzhou Yimen Chen's poem:
Jiangzhou has long been writing Yimenzhuang, and Zhuangshang has been divided into villages for a long time.
Deeply rooted in who is with and with, pearls and jade lang walk together.
The group of Quashi Li chased after Zou Lu, and the king of Shu Shu Washi Sai Xie.
The grandsons each know Zunyi Fan, and Yong Yu Shunde has a heavy light.
Song Renzong also asked:
The imperial pen personally inscribed rotten Jinxia, full of official ranks all over the world.
The name should be immortalized, and the family of the prime minister should be celebrated.
The imperial court and the emperor not only gave a political record of Yimen Chen, but also reprinted the Chen family's family law into a book, and the court officials recommended it in one by hand. Courtiers were encouraged to visit Yimen Chen in person. In terms of economic support, Zhizhou Kangjian played: "The Yimen Chen family prospered, but the descendants often lacked food. "Emperor Taizong of Song issued an edict to lend two thousand stones of millet every year. In the third year of Tiansheng, Song Renzong bought three thousand acres of paddy fields. In the fifth year of Tiansheng, he was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of the Chen clan for five generations. The first ancestor Chen Wang was the Duke of Jin, the second ancestor Chen Ji was the Duke of Yan, the third ancestor Chen Gan was the Duke of Xu, the fourth ancestor Chen Lan was the Duke of Wu, and the fifth ancestor Chen Qing was the Duke of Qi.
Why did the imperial court and the emperor praise and value Yimen Chen so much? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also the need to safeguard the ruling class, whether it is the emperor at the end of the Tang Dynasty or the emperor of the Song Dynasty, in order to benefit their own rule, maintain stability, and consolidate political power, it is urgent to cultivate a group of models and examples who are loyal to the imperial court. Yimen Chen Zhongxiao double-acted, state affairs loyal to the king, family affairs filial piety to parents, can be used as a model of indoctrination, in the service of its rule, so it is repeatedly expressed. During the 163 years of the Reign of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were six monarchs, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Tuo, who repeatedly gave the imperial watch. Such an honor, only this one.
Due to the above internal and external factors, the Yimen Chen clan was cultivated, and the idyllic poetry of the long-lived agricultural civilization of Yimen Chen was composed.
Success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. The prosperity of Yimen Chen came from the support of the imperial court, and the division of Yimen Chen was also the will of the emperor.
In the seventh year of Jiayou, that is, in 1062, Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng and other important ministers advised the imperial court to persuade Emperor Renzong to divide the Yimen Chen clan. In the words of the beauty: "Take Yimen Chen as a model for the feudal family, move to various places, and educate the world." ”
In fact, the purpose is to suppress the Yimen Chen clan. Because Yimen Chen was very powerful in both the imperial court and the localities, "the government and the opposition were too prosperous", fearing that they would grow stronger and endanger the imperial court. This is the main reason for the division.
Yimen Chen Zhongxiao festival righteousness to educate the world, let Yimen Chen spread the Chen family style, family law, and family rules everywhere, chunhua society is of course one of the purposes. In addition, the Chen family eats a large pot of rice, and it is difficult to express their bitterness, and their reputation is out there, so they have to support it bitterly. Sometimes there is also "lack of food", and there are days when there is not enough to eat. According to the "Song Shi • 456 volumes": "Since the end of the Tao, there was still hunger and drought, and the Chen clan took a sip of porridge, mixed with algae vegetables, and coexisted happily. ”
People over the age of seventy should have the experience of eating a large pot of rice, which is delicious and imprinted with history. Yimen Chen had eaten for more than three hundred years, and it was difficult for them. The author speculates that the disciples of the Righteous Men must have supported the decision of the imperial court, there was an imperial edict, the order was analyzed and relocated, the scenery was infinite, it was called a donkey down the slope, and the family was divided in this way.
More than nine hundred years ago, the author's ancestors, who succeeded the elderly and the young, shouldered and carried their backs, took a heavy step, left their homeland, left the homeland where their ancestors lived, left the hometown of Changleli in Taiping Township, De'an, Jiangzhou, and opened a new history of Shiqiaozhuang, which gave birth to our today, just like yesterday.
In the seventh year of Jiayou, Emperor Renzong issued an edict to the officials of Jiangnan West Road, and persuaded the Yimen Chen clan to divide according to the twelve characters given by Emperor Taizong, "Zhi Shouzong, Xi Gongru, Cai Siyan, and Chengyan Ji", with the fifteenth generation as the lord of the village and the thirteen elderly people as langs. According to the size of the distribution, 291 zhuang were divided into 291 zhuang, and they were relocated to all parts of the country and distributed in 125 counties and cities across the country. They are all named according to the twelve characters, and give each Zhuang Yi Men House a scroll, and the Yi Men Branch Zhuang Figure a shaft, as a basis for the descendants to distinguish the sect.
Three Yimen Chen, a cultural symbol in history
Yimen Chen is a cultural symbol accumulated with traditional culture, a pastoral poem worked hard by feudal scholars, a Taoyuan society that is specifically practiced in traditional Chinese culture, a model of patriarchal society surname culture, and a spiritual home shared by the whole people of the Chinese nation.
Yimen Chen reads heirlooms with cultivation, cultivators benefit the family, and readers benefit the country. Farming is the main economic lifeblood of the family to maintain the normal survival of a family. But they always pay attention to a "reading" word, "the ancients, the family has a school, the township has a village, the state is orderly, and the state has a school." "The big family of Yimen Chen combines juku, ku, preamble, and learning in one family. In the first year of Tang Dashun (890), Chen Chong, a Yimen of Jiangzhou, founded the Dongjia Academy, and the famous Confucian Youxue taught, "Yan Sifang scholars, twenty acres of xuetian, Jiangnan celebrities all worked in their homes." "It is a place of book collection, knowledge and lectures that was well-known throughout the country during the Tang and Song dynasties. Celebrities such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Qian Ruoshui, Huang Tingjian, Chen Yaosu, Yan Shu, Zhu Xi, Yue Fei, Zhang Qixian, Yang Yi, Lü Duan and other literati and scholars have lectured and toured Dongjia Academy, and left more than 300 poems, building a splendid cultural treasure house of Yimen Chen.
Dongjia Academy opened a private tutor, Yitian Zixue, literary style, celebrity Xian collection, royal family gifts, cars and horses dust, Yashi admiration, poetry and song, into a landscape. Dongjia Academy was the earliest institution of learning and the earliest private university in the Tang and Song dynasties. It is a business card of Yimen Chen, coexisting with the Chen clan.
Dongjia College is the cultural carrier of Yimen Chen. The Chen family also learned from farming, farming, farming; farming during the day and studying at night. It is precisely because of this that there is a cultivation atmosphere of "eight hundred cattle ploughing on the ridge, and three thousand lamps reading in the school", and only then can more than three hundred students go to the examination in one year.
The cultural symbol of Yimen Chen not only has a cultural carrier, but also a cultural connotation. The Chen family knows the book, is righteous and kind, good and harmonious, loyal and filial piety, and has woven the music of the righteous door.
Yimen Chen general Chen Shiyin, both wen and wu. Eighteen-year-old Zhongwuju, twenty-year-old Jinshi and the first. Together with Li Yanxian, a native of Wuning, he joined the army under Yue Fei and mobilized his six brothers to join the army. At the age of twenty-four, he led 100,000 troops and horses to fight with the Jin soldiers, and "repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers in Jiangzhou". Shaoxing fought with Jin Bing again in Huanggang for six years, and all six brothers were killed. Ten years after Shaoxing, Chen Shiyin and Li Yanxian held jiangzhou, but finally died on the battlefield because they were outnumbered. He was given the title of "Loyal King", through heaven and earth, righteous and loyal. Temple worship.
General Yimen is loyal to the country, and the yimen parents remain. During the Song Chunhua period, the imperial court granted 2,000 stones of grain every year. By the time Chen Xu took over as his parent, the production of Yimen Chen had developed, there were more than 300 farms, the lives of the clans had improved, and there had been a surplus in grain. The parent, Chen Xu, went to the imperial court to ask for halving the grain. Someone advised Chen Xu that if he couldn't finish eating, he could resell it for profit. Chen Xu replied, "If the emperor gives me thousands of people's homes and the grain of the national treasury, it will not be possible to see that the benefits are forgotten." "Please halve" indicates the benevolence of Yimen Chen and the faithfulness of the Chen family's "Yimen".
Yimen Chen not only has the good story of "a hundred babies to be fed", but also has the beautiful talk of "a hundred dogs in prison". Yimen Chen Liyi is the first, filial piety governs the family, and the door is full of righteousness and virtue. During the Tang Zhaozong Celebration Calendar, there were more than 740 people in the family, who set up a wide feast on the day and sat down to eat together in turn. Over time, it affected the livestock. The Chen family has a hundred dogs, eating a trough together, not a dog, and all dogs do not eat. It turned out that there was an old female dog, blind on crutches, lying on top of the Purple Gate Tower, accompanied by stars, guarding against bandits, and doing her duty. The old dogs do not arrive, and the dogs do not eat. After being verified by Emperor Zhaozong of Song, yimen gate fang built a hundred dog prisons, the joint of which is:
A dog does not eat until a hundred dogs do not eat, and the foreign bodies in the prison are all righteous;
A bark suddenly burst into a hundred barks of anger, and the village guarded the door with one voice.
The cultural heritage of Yimen Chen is rich and colorful, recording many hymns of famous courtiers and nobles, not only rewarded by the emperors of the Seven Dynasties, but also six hymns of the prime ministers, who are Wen Yanbo, whose poems are:
The imperial pen personally inscribed CanJinxia, and the official positions of the Manchu Dynasty were all over the world.
The name should be immortal, and the family of the prime minister should be celebrated.
Lü Mengzheng served as the chancellor of the Second Dynasty of Emperor Taizong of Song and Emperor Zhenzong. His poems read:
Stack huamen jude star, Zhu Xia feijin around the river city.
Taehwa drums are beautiful and beautiful, and Da Shunxun steams the scenery new.
Sengoku gives back the heavenly millet, and the five carts of books are in the middle of the scriptures.
I only know that Yongmu was prosperous in the past, and I know that the righteousness is deeper now.
Li Fang was a Northern Song Dynasty writer and chancellor of the Taizong Dynasty. He led a group of officials to inspect Yimen Chen in person, and his poem reads:
Filial piety crown country, door multi-elderly car.
Collect and store thousands of acres of millet, and the family collects books on the first floor.
Treat guests to new wine, and leave monks to cook tender vegetables.
The three dukes were old and sick, and had no time to visit the mountain residence.
Song Qi, historian of the Northern Song Dynasty, vice chancellor. Visiting Dongjia in the Year of Hua Jia, a poem:
Qunfang is prosperous, and the xiaoyou family is more luxurious.
Jingbiao Ishime, the first name of the new biography of the history book.
If you have virtue and honor, do you have no vegetables for the people?
I think Dongjia will eventually arrive, only because Sheng belongs to Xian Cao.
There are also northern song ministers, famous lyricists Yan Shu and Southern Song dynasty prime ministers Zong Ze, etc. all went to Yimen Chen to investigate and left famous poems, so I will not list them one by one.
Zhu Xi, Southern Song Dynasty philosopher and educator, Zanyi men poem:
The Tang and Song dynasties have been famous for a long time, and the filial piety of the righteous door is flowing.
Crown cover article yuanxue, descendants hundreds of generations of its prosperity.
There were also famous Song Dynasty generals such as Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang who also wrote poems for the Chen family.
Yimen Chen's culture is a unique cultural phenomenon in the history of the development of Chinese civilization, far beyond the scope of surname culture, she interprets the basic requirements of traditional Chinese culture and traditional etiquette for citizens, carries the spiritual homeland of agricultural civilization, and is a beautiful historical landscape. Even today, there is still a scorching brilliance, and we should let us innovate this unique Yimen Chen culture today and play a greater role in the integrity of Chunhua society.
