When the Chen State was established, most of the Chen surnames in the world were gathered in the Chen Kingdom, and the capital Jinling was the most dense.
In 586 AD, the Chen kingdom collapsed, and the Chen clan in the world was almost destroyed,
After the destruction of the Chen state, the surname Chen almost broke its roots, and the people surnamed Chen who escorted the people surnamed Chen in the area of Guanzhong relied on their wisdom, wisdom, and hard work, and finally glorified the Chen family. Since then, due to differences in economic and political interests, the surname Chen has begun a new round of migration, and the surname Chen of Yimen in Jiangzhou has become the backbone of the surname Chen at this time.
Part II
Since the fall of Chen in the Southern Dynasty, some of the people in the Chen family, including the later lord Chen Shubao, were escorted to Chang'an of Sui, and from then on, the surname Chen began to take root in the Guanzhong region, and Chen Jian, the fifth grandson of Chen Shubao's younger brother Shuming, was admitted as a junior scholar during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and served as the right to fill the gap. Chen Jian's son, Chen Jing, was an official in the Dezong Dynasty. Jing had no son, and with his nephew Chen Zhao as his heir, he served as the county commander of Yanguan (south of Yanguan Town, southwest of Haining County, Zhejiang). Chen Zhao's grandson Chen Huan served as the commander of Linhai (present-day Zhejiang) County, and his family moved to Xianyou (present-day Putian) in Quanzhou, Fujian. Chen Huan had six sons, and his fifth son, Boxuan, fled to Lushan, Jiangxi, and the surname Chen in Guanzhong began another round of migration movements, creating a miracle in the world, and most of the Chen family gathered to Lushan to develop. In the sixth year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang (832), Bo Xuan's grandson Chen Wang moved his clan to Yongqing Village, Changle Li, Taiping Township, De'an County, Jiangxi (present-day Yimen Chen Village, Chepaan Township, De'an County), becoming the ancestor of the Chen clan of Yimen in Jiangzhou.
De'an is in the south of Jiujiang, and Jiujiang was called Jiangzhou in ancient times, so this Chen surname was named Jiangzhou and became Jiangzhou Yimen Chen surname.
From the beginning of the "Yimen" Chen family to the opening of the treasure period of Song Taizu, the Yimen Chen family has a population of more than 740 people. By the third year of Emperor Zhenzong of Song's reign (1000), the population had increased to more than 1,470, and in just over 20 years, the population had doubled. By the fourth year of Emperor Renzong of Song (1026), it had reached more than 3,900 mouths, and 19 generations had eaten and lived together, which was really a miracle. The Son of Heaven praised it as "the first in the world of 3,000 people, and unparalleled in the world for 400 years".
At this time, Chen's had more than 300 farms, and its industries spread throughout more than 120 prefectures and counties across the country. Due to the growing size of the family, the government and the public were shaken, and the main reason was that such a loyal family as the surname Chen played an extremely important role in the stability and civilization of feudal society. This family has successively established the Chen State, the Qi State, the Zhang Chu State, the New Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty, and has good political quality and management skills; It may have caused some pressure on the imperial court.
For this reason, ministers such as Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng suggested "analysis", that is, scattered residence, and Emperor Renzong of Song, after obtaining the consent of the Chen family, sent someone to guardianship and analyze in July of the seventh year of Jiayou (1062). Interestingly, when analyzing the family property, according to the number given by the Son of Heaven, Chen was divided into 291 properties in Zhengzhou (now Henan), Tanzhou (Changsha, Hunan), Huangzhou (Huanggang, Hubei), Hanyang (Wuhan, Hubei), Anqing (now Anhui), Dizhou (Huimin in Shandong), Songzhou (Songpan, Sichuan), Luzhou (now Sichuan), Gwangju (Henan), Hongzhou (Nanchang, Jiangxi), Shuzhou (Qianshan, Anhui) and other places. He also divided the three counties of Dehua (Jiujiang, Jiangxi), Ruichang (now Jiangxi), and Xingzi (now Jiangxi) into 27 parts; The property of De'an and Jianchang (Fengxinxi, Jiangxi) was divided into 20 parts, none of which were included in the 291 shares. Where the lot is caught, it is moved. They moved to more than 290 farms, including Jiangxi, Henan, Zhejiang, Hubei, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hainan, Sichuan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Tianjin, all of which have the surname Chen's footprints. If calculated by county, the surname Chen is distributed among 125 counties and cities, of which Jiangxi is the most, accounting for 28 counties and cities. Because these Chen surnames are all separated from Jiangzhou Yimen. Therefore, there are craftsmen of the "Yimen family" hanging at the door of each house, and there is a saying in various places that "the Chen family of the world goes out of Jiangzhou". According to investigations, the famous figures of the Communist Party of China Chen Yun, Chen Yi, and Chen Geng, Kuomintang elders Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu, Kuomintang general Chen Cheng, and early CPC leader Chen Duxiu are all descendants of the various tribes analyzed by the Chen clan of Yimen in Jiangzhou.
Epilogue:
Since Chen Shubao was sent to Guanzhong and moved to Jiangzhou via Chen Wang, the Chen family began a vigorous migration. In addition to the one left in Yimen, Jiangzhou, a total of 155 families of each fang tribe distributed to various farms in the form of lots, so they packed up their bags and went to the location of the farms to settle down.
For the Chen family at that time, the supreme ruler gave them a high treatment: exemption from conscription. He also gave Jiangzhou Yimen the supreme reputation and gave the glorious title of "Zhenliang Family". He also ordered the construction of the imperial study building, gave the "Yuyin" plaque and so on. 33 books of the Book of Emperors, (3rd year of the Dao, i.e. 997 AD). Because such a large family, after all, has promoted the stability and unity of one side, and has also become an example to be followed by other places, it has a great positive effect on maintaining the rule of feudal society.
