Cao Bin's ancestral hometown of Ningjin records that please see the first volume of the "Lingshou County Chronicles" in the eleventh year of Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, page 76: "According to the "Ningjin County Chronicles": The ancestral tomb of Cao Bin of Lu Gong is in Yanbai Village, thirty miles east of the county. The 25-year monument of Jiajing was destroyed by the villagers. Only half of the monument remains. Lu Gongbin and his father Yun live in Lingshou, and the Bin descendants are both from Lingshou. Binzu was buried in Yanbai Village, and the fifth son was guarded by the fifth son, because of his family. Xi, that is, the father of the queen of Guangxian, and his brother and sister are all from Ningjin. ”
The ancestors of the Lingshou Cao family lived in Ningjin from Cao Yun, the father of Cao Bin, and all the people of the Cao family were buried in their hometown of Yanbai Village, Ningjin County, after their deaths.
However, Cao Bin let his fifth son Cao Xi live in Ningjin and guard the ancestral tomb of the Cao family in Ningjin County, in order to show that he did not forget the fundamental meaning. Cao Xi was later named King of Wu by Renzong, and Cao Xi's daughter should enter the palace and was canonized as the queen by Song Renzong, and then Cao Yu, the eldest brother of Queen Cao, became Cao Guo's uncle. Later generations were revered as one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism.
Kangxi's "Lingshou County Chronicles" volume nine, Zhixian Lu Longqi wrote "Song Cao's Tombstone": "There is also a Cao tomb in Ningjin, and it is unknown which is the first and which is next. According to the record of Cao Bin's ancestral tomb quoted in the "Ningjin County Chronicles" in the first volume of the "Lingshou County Chronicles", as Lu Longqi of Lingshou Zhixian County at that time, he pretended to be confused, said nonsense with his eyes open, asked questions knowingly, and fooled Xuanxuan.
Mr. Zhou Ruchang's opening remarks on "Several Aspects of Red Studies: A Conversation at the Academic Report Meeting of the Department of Chinese of Hebei University in 1979," Journal of Hebei University (Philosophy and Social Science Edition), No. 4, 1979, said fairly: "Comrades, let's talk about "Dream of the Red Mansion" today. Who wrote "Dream of Red Mansions"? It was written by Cao Xueqin. Cao Xueqin is a native of Hebei Province. Why is Cao Xueqin said to be a native of Hebei Province? His ancestor was named Cao Bin, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, the famous general who "went down to the south of the Yangtze River," and it was he who went to pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty under the reign of Empress Li and unify the whole country. In the rich areas of the south of the Yangtze River, he is not greedy for a single thing, nor does he kill a person, and the people have a good impression of him. He is a native of Lingshou County and belongs to today's Hebei Province, which is clearly written in the "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Lingshou County Chronicles". Their Cao family also has an ancestral tomb in Ningjin County, and the local chronicles of Ningjin have clear records. Ning Jin is also in Hebei Province. Why does Ning Jin also have his family's ancestral grave? We don't know much about this at present. It is only known that Cao Bin's daughter in the early Song Dynasty was the queen, and according to the historical records, her original book does not write Lingshou but Ning Jin; Later, he also sent a son of Cao Bin who seemed to be an official there to take care of this ancestral tomb, which is all fact, not fabricated. ”
Kangxi's "Lingshou County Chronicles" quoted the ancestral tomb of Cao Bin recorded in the "Ningjin County Chronicles", citing the "Ningjin County Chronicles" of the He Dynasty and the Dynasty?
The compilation and revision of the Ningjin County Chronicles began in the Song Dynasty.

Qing Dynasty Tongzhi "Rebuild Luancheng County Chronicles" explained: "The county has a special ambition, since the beginning of the Zhao and Song dynasties. Its name has new aspirations, continued aspirations, and later multiplication. ”
