The Qian family, as the name suggests, is a rich and prestigious family, but what they inherit has never been money, but precious spiritual food, which is the Qian family training, even the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has specially recommended it, and it is recorded in the "intangible cultural heritage" list. Although the number of Qian family in China is small, its influence on China cannot be underestimated.
During the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, in the government's large-scale land reform and return movement, many ethnic groups changed to the Qian clan, such as Hui, Miao, Zhuang, Dai, Tibetan, Li, Tujia, Hani, Buyi, Naxi and so on. Among them, the Hani Qian surname Tusi in the Ming and Qing dynasties in Yunnan is from the Lin'an Qian family, and its descendants have a great influence in the local area, with the appeal of "an arrow through the clouds, thousands of armies and horses to meet each other".
The Wuyue Qian family refers to the founder of the Wuyue Kingdom, Qian Wei, and his descendants. Qian Wei was the founder of wu yueguo in the fifth dynasty, and played a foundational role in the economic development of the Hangzhou and Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, and his descendants have famous people from generation to generation, such as Qian Daxin, a representative figure of the Qianjia School in the Qing Dynasty, and Qian Qichen, Qian Zhengying, Qian Xuesen, Qian Weichang, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Zhongshu, Qian Fu, and Qian Mu, who are all descendants of contemporary politicians and scholars.
During the Qin Dynasty, the Qian people were mainly distributed in Pengcheng and its surrounding areas in Jiangsu Province. After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne and became emperor, Jiangsu Suining Qianchan was appointed by the Qin imperial court to be the imperial historian because of his outstanding learning and noble moral character, and became the highest official of the central supervision agency of the Qin Dynasty, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and assisting the chancellor in handling the affairs of the dynasty, and the Qian family quickly rose to fame and became one of the most famous surnames in the world.
During the Jin Dynasty, many members of the Huzhou Qian family came and went, and gradually became a pivotal force in society, and their influence was expanding day by day.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Qian Miao, a native of Lin'an, Hangzhou, was appointed by the imperial court as an envoy of the two armies in Zhejiang, responsible for suppressing local rebels. In 902, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang made Qian The King of Yue. After Zhu Wen established Liang, Qian Wei was created the King of Wuyue by jin in 907. The first Qian dynasty in Chinese history was thus established.
As the saying goes, the rich are not more than three generations, but the Qian family has not been a celebrity since the Song Dynasty, and the Qian celebrities who have entered the annals of history have broken through a thousand. The "Dictionary of Chinese Celebrities" includes 310 celebrities surnamed Qian, and in modern times, it has produced a Nobel Prize, a second diplomat, a three scientist, a master of four kingdoms, a vice chairman of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and an academician of the Eighteenth Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Qian family deserves to be called: "a thousand-year-old famous family and the first family in zhejiang".
