"Fire .."
In February 1920, accompanied by the cry of a baby in the delivery room, the National Government directly fired 13 salutes in order to express its attention to the baby.
After the nurse lifted the baby out of the delivery room, the family rushed forward, but what attracted more attention was the two rows of soldiers standing straight at the door of the delivery room.
However, the baby's uniqueness has only just begun, and his every action has a profound impact on future generations.
This child is the 77th generation great-grandson of the continent's most holy ancestor Confucius, and the 31st generation descendant of Yansheng Gong - Kong Decheng.
Kong Decheng was called "Little Saint" at birth
This family has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, carrying a lot of glory, and at this time, the bloodline of the Kong family can finally be passed on smoothly, thus once again obtaining the title of a famous family.
In the long history of the mainland, the Kong family has always occupied a very important position on the mainland, no matter which dynasty, the people of the Kong family have been protected by the rulers and admired by the world.
Kong Decheng's birth made the Kong family reach an unprecedented height, and from the moment he was born, he was crowned with the title of "Little Saint".
At the same time, it also means that after Kong Decheng is born, he must shoulder the inheritance of the Confucius family and his due responsibilities, and contribute his own strength to the development of traditional culture in the mainland.
However, his birth was very bumpy, because Kong Lingyi's wife died early due to illness, and the child born to him by his second wife died before the full moon.
At this time, Kong Lingyi's heart was very distressed, after all, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of continuing the family incense.
Father was orphaned on his deathbed
In this way, Kong Lingyi had to marry a concubine, and not long after this woman became pregnant, Kong Lingyi was very happy in her heart after knowing the news.
Not long after, Kong Lingyi died of a serious illness, and before dying, Kong Lingyi found the then national government, hoping that the child could smoothly inherit the title on his body, and after the explanation, Kong Lingyi closed his eyes forever with regret.
Two months later, Kong Lingyi's concubine reached her due date, and in order to fulfill Kong Lingyi's last wish, the Nationalist government specially ordered the soldiers to station in front of the door of the delivery room to avoid the phenomenon of "tanuki for prince".
In addition to the soldiers stationed here outside the delivery room, there were also the governors of Shandong Province, as well as the various elders of the Kong family, and the moment Kong Lingyi's concubine pushed into the delivery room, the hearts of all those present were tied together.
It can be seen that both the Kong family and the national government at that time attached great importance to this child, but it was very difficult for the mother to give birth, from the early morning to the evening.
Just when everyone outside the door fell into anxiety, a child's cry appeared, and at this time, everyone's hearts breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but hug each other and cry.
The bloodline is passed on
Because the child born to this concubine was a boy, at this time, Confucius's bloodline could finally be passed on, and after the child was born, Kong Lingyi's concubine fainted directly.
At this time, everyone in the Kong family was guarding her bed, because she became a great hero of the Kong family, and after she woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone present was very happy in their hearts, because they knew that it would not be easy for this child to come to this world, and the national government at that time specially fired a 13-gun salute to celebrate the child's professor.
At that time, this was a very big card, and no child could enjoy such treatment at birth, and then the elders of the Kong family named the child Kong Decheng.
However, it is deeply unfortunate that Kong Decheng's biological mother died before he was full moon, so Kong De was handed over to Kong Lingyi's second wife to raise.
After Kong Decheng was born, he became the most talked about figure in the modern history of the mainland, and his growth as a descendant of the Kong family must be strictly restricted.
Constrained from childhood
Due to thousands of years of inheritance, the Confucius family's tutoring is very strict, although he is the most favorite child in the family, but no matter what he does, he must follow the family rules and cannot do whatever he wants.
In order to let Kong Decheng carry forward the family, the elders of the clan specially formulated three rules for him, only in this way can he achieve true self-cultivation and inherit the wishes of his ancestors.
The Kong family is a large family in Shandong and has a lot of attention to food, but Kong Decheng cannot be too extravagant when eating, nor can he overeat.
He has to eat at the specified time every day, and cannot change his habits at will, only during some traditional festivals, he can eat some delicacies.
In order to let Kong Decheng develop a hard and simple character, with the financial resources of the Kong family, he could buy those expensive clothes, but Kong Decheng has worn a coat made of cotton since he was a child, and he can only wear those expensive clothes when he attends formal occasions.
This move is also to follow the teachings of the ancestors and not to indulge in the life of those who are only interested in gold, and the Confucius family, as the descendants of the most holy teacher Confucius, have appeared many readers.
A witness to modern China
In order to continue this tradition, the elders in the family at that time wanted Kong Decheng to continue this tradition, and from the beginning of his enlightenment, they learned the ideas left by Confucius, which was not only for some of their own pursuits, but also a kind of remembrance of their ancestors.
Not only that, the Kong family also invited foreigners to teach Kong Decheng English, and at this time Kong Decheng came into contact with more advanced education and saw the vastness of the world.
Comte's achievements grew up in such a strict family environment, which also allowed him to develop a very mature personality, and his concubine died when he was a few years old.
In this way, his two mothers left him one after another, and although he lost the company of his family, with the help of his teachers, he began to thrive, thus witnessing the most turbulent years in China.
When Kong Decheng was a teenager, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, he could not be bound because of his status, once, he submitted a request to the National Government to abolish his title, but was rejected by the National Government at that time.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his identity also troubled him a lot, when the Japanese invaders took a fancy to his identity and invited him.
Never dishonored the name of the ancestors
At that time, in order to protect him, the Nationalist government repeatedly proposed to send him abroad, and after Kong Decheng saw the fragmented face of the country, he chose to stay, and traveled around various regions to issue an anti-Japanese declaration, thereby inspiring more Chinese sons and daughters to join the camp of resisting Japan and saving the country.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Kong Decheng has been committed to the integration of Chinese and foreign cultures, because he knows that the development of culture is inseparable from exchanges, and only in this way can he send what his ancestors left behind to a broader stage.
In 2008, Mr. Kong Decheng passed away due to illness, and after the people of the whole country learned the news, everyone could not help but mourn the old man, which let the world know China's respect for Confucianism.
Mr. Kong Decheng has always used his actual actions to prove that he has not been dishonored by the prestige left by his ancestors, and throughout the growth process of Mr. Kong Decheng in this life, it is inseparable from his family education.
The three family rules set for him by the family at that time not only shaped his tenacious personality, but also had a great impact on his future life.
From what happened to Mr. Kong Decheng, we know that the reason why the Kong family can continue is inseparable from the correct family style and family discipline.
Epilogue:
Since ancient times, the Confucius family has been a representative family of mainland traditional culture, and they have inherited the ideas of their ancestor Confucius and traveled for this country.
As a descendant of the Kong family, Kong Decheng shouldered an extremely great mission in his body as soon as he was born, and he knew from memory that his mission was to spread traditional culture and make his own contribution to the development of the country.
After determining his ideas, Mr. Kong Decheng actively absorbed knowledge from all aspects to improve his cultural literacy, and finally under the influence of his family, he began to improve in all aspects.
The emergence of the Kong family rules also allows Mr. Kong Decheng to stick to his bottom line in the face of bad temptations, so as to pursue higher things.
Mr. Kong Decheng's journey of growth was full of challenges, he witnessed the most important period in modern times on the mainland, and he also faced many choices.
Because of his education since childhood, Mr. Kong Decheng can always maintain his composure no matter what happens, and treat everything with a rational attitude.
In this way, Mr. Kong Decheng used his practical actions to explain to future generations what is the propagator of Chinese culture, and with the increasing influence of China in the world, more and more countries have begun to learn the traditional Confucian culture of the mainland.
At this time, it is necessary for future generations to stand up and inherit the past culture, and the deeds of Mr. Kong Decheng's life are worthy of everyone's memory.
