In ancient Chinese history, there have been many famous and prestigious clans, forming a lot of popular county looks, such as the Boling Cui clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Changli Han clan, the Gulu Zhu Zhang four surname family in the Jiangnan region, the Fujian Lin clan, etc., they have played an important role in Chinese history, more or less promoted the development of history, but these clans have flourished for a long time, and the family with the surname that the Seven-StringEd King wants to talk about today is definitely the second in history, and no one dares to call it the first. This family is the Yang family - the Hongnong Yang family and the Hedong Yang family.

First of all, this Hongnong Yang clan, Hongnong refers to the current Huayin County in Shaanxi Province, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to set up Hongnong County, also known as Hongnong County. The origin of this Yang clan was in the last year of the Qin Dynasty, when the whole country revolted against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, also raised a team to oppose Qin, occupying Hanzhong and claiming to be the King of Han. At this time, a man named Yang Xi defected to Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, in Du County (present-day Yanta District, Xi'an), and was appointed as Langzhong Rider, a military general who managed the palace car ride, and then was responsible for night safety in the palace. But this is not the starting point of Yang Xi's life, what really made Yang Xi rich was the final stage of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, the Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu lost the battle and was forced to flee to Wujiang to kill himself, Yang Xi and four other generals cut Xiang Yu's body into five pieces, Yang Xi cut off one of Xiang Yu's legs, so Liu Bang made him the Marquis of Chiquan.

After that, the Yang family was officially included in the orbit of the bureaucratic family, since Yang Xi, successive generations of people have been officials in the dynasty, until his great-grandson Yang Chang's generation, the scenery of the Hongnong Yang clan continued to expand, Yang Chang was appreciated by the high-powered general Huo Guang because of his careful words and deeds, and successively served as the military Sima (司馬), Changshi (長史), Sosu Du Wei (搜粟都尉), the Great Si Nong and other official positions, and finally became the Imperial Grand Master and the Minister of Finance, the scenery was really the same for a while, the most enviable thing is that Yang Chang also married Sima Qian's daughter, Moreover, his wife was very bold, and once reminded her husband to support Huo Guang's idea of deposing Liu He, the king of Changyi, and avoiding a killing disaster.

Later, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Baoyin lived among the residents, taught for a living, and was the protagonist of the "ring" in the idiom "knotted grass ring". His son Yang Zhen was a famous figure all over the world at that time, when he was young, he studied under Tai Chang Huanyu, was an upright official, unyielding to the magnates, bluntly spoke about the shortcomings of current politics, and read a lot of books, known as "Confucius in Kansai"; we often say that "heaven knows you know what I know" is from Yang Zhen. After Yang Zhen, taking himself, the Hongnong Yang clan served a total of four taiwei, Yang Zhen's great-grandson Yang Biao refused to serve as Cao Wei's taiwei, and his son was Yang Xiu, who was killed by Cao Cao's jealousy. Including Yang Jun, the father-in-law of Sima Yan, the later Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, Empress Yang Yan, and Yang Zhi were all prominent.
Imperial bloodline
But Yang Xi could not have imagined that his descendants could establish a unified empire, and the Sui Emperor Yang Jian was from the Yang clan of Hongnong. However, some experts believe that Yang Jian's great-grandfather, the Northern Wei Taishou Yang Huiga, to his generation, was not a direct descendant of the Hongnong Yang clan, but was faked in order to inflate his own value. Qixianjun believes that the evidence of this is insufficient, even if it is counterfeit, there should be some relationship, after all, the reproductive and reproduction ability of our Chinese nation is very strong, and it is difficult to migrate around is not a family.

Hedong Yang clan
Around 140 BC, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty reorganized the world into 13 counties, with Hedong County in Shanxi Province and south of the Great Wall. The Yang clan of Hedong has been recorded since the Zhou Dynasty, and was the actual administrator of the Yang State at that time, who lived in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province for generations, and whose ancestor was Yang Gan of the Jin Dynasty.
Warlords of the Eastern Han Dynasty
Among the descendants came a famous warlord named Yang Feng, a warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the former superior of the famous General Xu Huang of the Three Kingdoms of Cao Wei and the strategist Jia Xu, after the rebellion of Li Dai guo, Yang Feng served as the General of Xingyi of the Han Dynasty and escorted Emperor Xian of Han back to Luoyang. Cao Cao blackmailed Tianzi to order the princes to move the capital to Xuchang, and Yang Feng, as a che general, intercepted che and was defeated by Cao Cao. He was later booby-trapped and killed by the left general Liu Bei.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Yang clan of Hedong produced a fierce general named Yang Hongxin. Gathering crowds to resist the Khitan southern offensive was due to the fact that Shi Jingyao ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans, causing the Khitan cavalry to drive south to attack, causing great damage to the advanced economy and culture of the Central Plains, and seriously threatening the lives and property of the people in the Central Plains. Unwilling to be oppressed by the Khitans, the masses of the people rose up one after another to fight against and defend their homeland. His son is Yang Ye, the "enemy of ten thousand people" who created the Yang family's foundation for several generations in Chinese history. Regarding the story of Yang Ye, I believe that everyone is already familiar with it, so I will not go into detail here, but whether Yang Ye is a descendant of the Yang clan in Hedong has always been disputed in the historians and the genealogy of the Descendants of the Yang Clan. However, it is still that sentence, there are many descendants of the Chinese nation, five hundred years ago it was a family, to the roots, are all heroes and good men from the same place.
