Kong Yingda's descendants are in Hengshui

The historical record of the descendants of the Kong clan in Hengshui, Hebei, originates from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Confucius's 19th grandson Kong Biao (123–171) was a Member of the Eastern Han Dynasty who served as Shangshu Shilang (侍郎), Zhishu Shishi (治書侍御史), and Boling Taishou (whose seat of government was near Anping County, Hengshui). His son Kong Qi (孔乂), the Great Physician of Wei Zhiyi. His grandson Kong Yu (孔郁), assassin of the Western Jin Dynasty and Ji Prefecture. Kong Yu's second son, Confucius's 21st generation grandson Kong Yang moved to Xiabo Tinghou (Xiabo County, the Western Han Dynasty xindu state, the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to the Anping state), settled in Xiabo County KongXianZhuang (now Qianmazhuang, Taocheng District, Hengshui City, Hebei), and for another ten generations to Kong Yingda, where the Kong clan lived for more than 200 years.

Kong Yingda was born in the third year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Jiande (574), and in his youth he opened a private school and made a career as a professor. Until he was thirty-two years old, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty Emperor's great cause, he was ranked first in the high list of the Ming Dynasty, and was admitted to the doctorate of Hanoi County (the name of the scholar official), and later supplemented by the assistant professor of Taixue. The family moved to Henan, became an official, and left Hengshui Kongxianzhuang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shangshu Yang Xuangan mutinied and rebelled, and Kong Yingda took refuge in Tiger Prison (northwest of present-day Xingyang Fenshui Town, Henan Province), where he lived for six years. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he became a bachelor of literature (known as the Eighteenth Bachelor) founded by Li Shimin, the King of Qin, and moved to Chang'an. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was promoted to the title of Guozi Doctor, Guozi Siye, Crown Prince Right Shuzi, and Guozi Matsuri (Guozijian Education Chief Executive). He was ordered by Emperor Taizong of Tang to compile the Five Classics of Justice and Justice, and devoted his life to the cause of education and the study of scriptures. He died in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan (648) at the age of seventy-five. Because of his merits, he was buried in the Zhaoling Tomb of Shaanxi (the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of Tang) by Li Shimin. In his tombstone text, it is clearly visible that "gong yin da, the word rushed far, and the people of Hengshui in Jizhou" were clearly seen. In the west of Qianmazhuang Village (west of Central North Street) in Taocheng District, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, there is his "Crown Tomb", which is now opened as Kong Yingda Park.

Kong Yingda had three sons. The eldest son, Kong Zhixuan, was the son of the official Guoguo. The second son, Kong Zhiyue, was the Prince of Tang who washed horses and served as a waiter in the ceremonial department. The third son, Kong Zhiliang, is a Zhongshu Sheren.

Kong Yingda's eldest son Kong Zhixuan was buried in Zhaoling with his father, and he sacrificed the ancestral tomb and stayed in Chang'an. Kong Zhixuan's son Kong Huiyuan, Tang Guozi Siye and Crown Prince Shude. Three generations of grandchildren were also the sons of the country, which was passed down as a beautiful talk at that time. Kong Zhixuan's grandson Kong Liyan was a Tang Dynasty langzhong .

According to the "Genealogy of the Kong Family", the descendants of the Kong clan began to be described as the Xianxian Sect (Branch) of Hebei Province with Kong Liyan. In fact, Kong Zhixuan and his descendants lived in Chang'an (Xi'an) for a long time, and there are records in the family tree that Kong Liyan's son Kong Zongsheng moved his family to Zhongnan Mountain to take refuge in Chang'an because he avoided the "Anshi Rebellion". In the early years of the Song Dynasty, his descendant Confucius, the forty-sixth generation of Sun Kongzhi, joined the army and was ordered to accompany Zhao Baozhong (定難節度使, formerly known as Li Jipeng) in the town of Fuliang Prefecture (present-day Wuwei City, Gansu Province), and after a long period of military service, he settled in Liangzhou. By the 20th year of Ming Yongle, his descendants Confucius 58th generation grandson Kong Gongbao and Kong Gongshen followed Zhu Di (Ming Chengzu), the King of Yan, to sweep the north, and repeatedly made military achievements, and was awarded the title of Jinyi Weizheng Qianhu by the emperor. In the twenty-first year of Ming Yongle's reign, he was ordered by Qin to take his family up to Beijing and give the land to Hejian Weizhongshun Tun Nankeying (present-day Benzhai Township, Xianxian County, Hebei Province). In the sixth year of Ming Xuande, Kong Gongbao and Changzhi's uncle Kong Chengdao followed Liu Guang, the governor of the general army, to Gansu to suppress bandits, and because of the pursuit of the thief Kou captured meritoriously, Qin Qin Kong Gongbao was the commander of the Jinyi Weidu, and Kong Chengda was the Jinyi Weizheng Qianhu. After nearly 700 years of historical migration, Kong Yingda's descendants settled in Xianxian County, Hebei Province, and began to live, inherit and reproduce in Nankeying, Xianxian County, and developed into an important tribe with relatively concentrated residence and large numbers of descendants of Kong, and gradually migrated to many surrounding counties, cities and other provinces.

Kong Yingda's descendant, Xianxian County, Hebei Province, sent Kong Gongbao to have five sons. During the Ming Yongle period, his fifth son Kong Yanxiang moved to Langsitou Village in Wuqiang County, Hengshui, to the 62nd generation kong Wendao moved to Wuqiang County's North Xiaofan, to the sixty-eighth generation to move to Wuqiang County's Nanheyan Village, to the sixty-ninth generation and then to Wu'an Zhuang and Jieguancheng in Wuqiang County, to the seventy-first generation to the Dock Village, to the seventy-third generation to move to The South Xiaofan. At present, the villages above Hengshui Wuqiang have descendants of Kong surnamed Kong. Xianxian sent Confucius's 58th generation Sun Kong Gongming and Kong Ping's leading group to live in Jianqiao Town, Fucheng County, Hejian Province (now Fucheng County, Hengshui City), and their descendants moved to the villages around Jianqiao Town, to the 63rd generation to live in Qijialouzi, the 65th generation to move to Kongjiazhuang, the 66th generation to move to Sunjiacheng Sitou and Nanzhangzhuang in the northeast of the county town, the 70th generation to Move to Haojialou, and the 73rd generation to Move to Jianyang Village. At present, the descendants of these two kong Yingda have gradually migrated to the urban areas of Taocheng District, Wuqiang, Fucheng, Raoyang and other urban areas in Hengshui, with nearly a thousand descendants.

Through the tracing of this history, there can be a clear description of the migration trajectory of Kong Yingda's descendants. Kong Yingda became an official at the age of thirty-two and went to Biyang, Henan to do doctorate in Hanoi County. When the Sui Emperor taught Taixue supplementary teachings, he came to the capital Luoyang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was in turmoil and took refuge in Tiger Prison (Xingyang Shui town, Henan). Later, he accompanied Emperor Taizong of Tang to Chang'an (Xi'an), where he sacrificed wine and died at the age of seventy-five at the home of Pingkangli in Wannian County, Chang'an. His third son Kong Zhiliang and his descendants were buried in Guangwu Town, Henan Province (near Kong Yingda's hiding place), and the sixteen descendants gradually migrated southward, forming many tribes of Kong's descendants, such as the Guangdong Nanxiong faction, the Hunan Liuyang faction, the Jiangsu Danyang faction, the Jiangxi Linjiang faction, the Lingnan faction, and the Henan Luoyang faction. The second son Kong Zhi was not passed down after about three generations. The eldest son Kong Zhixuan lived in Chang'an as an official, and the descendant Kong Zhi settled in Liangzhou (Wuwei, Gansu) with Zhao Baozhongshubian, and the fifty-eighth generation of Kong Gongbao moved with his family to Nankeying in Xianxian County, Hejian Province, and his descendants moved to Hengshui Wuqiang, Fucheng, and Taocheng District.

After more than 1,400 years of tossing and turning, the two branches of Kong Yingda's descendants have returned to Hengshui and multiplied, which can't help but make people have infinite reverie and sighs. As a famous Confucian master in history, Kong Yingda made outstanding contributions in the cultural and educational undertakings of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Confucian classics, and was known as "Confucius of The Kansai" and "Fusheng of the Western Han Dynasty". As a historical celebrity in Hengshui, excavating his academic ideas and historical achievements, shaping the local cultural business card of Hengshui, the cultural heritage of daru's hometown will be further carried forward.
