In view of the series of measures of "Li Ghost Destroying Li Kui" that feng Menglong has been in recent years, the many ancient books and documentaries published by the author last week have clearly recorded or clearly pointed out that Feng Menglong is a Fengmen (Fengxi) person, and Feng Menglong's hometown is in Fengmen (Fengxi), and Feng Menglong's hometown is in Fengmen Fengxi, and it is exclusive.
Ancient records can exclusively determine that Feng Menglong's hometown is Fengmen Fengxi. On the contrary, although the legend that Feng Menglong's hometown in Xinxiang is full of "Feng Menglong Research" books and articles, but the New Lane Village (or "Feng Gongshang") is said to be Feng Menglong's hometown, no "researcher" has found or published any ancient documentary records that can withstand examination. So far, it has been determined that Feng Menglong's hometown in Xinxiang is the basis for this, and it is only the planners who have borrowed the modern version of the "Feng Gelao" legend circulating locally, especially the legend of "Feng Ge's Old Tomb", to put "Feng Gelao" on Feng Menglong's head. In order to cooperate with the emergence of such a castle-style "Feng Menglong's hometown" in the air, a series of modern versions of "Feng Menglong" folk tales were deliberately arranged, and a group of celebrities were invited to visit the inscription to help, with the purpose of using these newly compiled folk stories to support the "Feng GeLao", that is, Feng Menglong. Over time, such a joke logic has actually been interpreted in a similar way, creating a pavilion-style "Feng Menglong's Hometown" - "Feng Menglong's Former Residence" - "Feng Menglong Village" - "Feng Menglong Industrial Park"... I really don't know if Feng Menglong, who has knowledge under the spring, will be angry and jump up because his hometown was solemnly changed nearly 400 years after his death.
Taking a step back and analyzing, even if the "Feng Menglong Village" that jokes and interprets has indeed existed in the history of "Feng Ge Lao" and his people, can "Feng Ge Lao" be Feng Menglong?
Feng Menglong edited "Du Shiniang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest"
The title of Ge Lao existed in the Tang Dynasty, which is an honorific title for the middle-aged and elderly people of Zhongshu She and the governors of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province; it was also used to address the Prime Minister after the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty; the Ming Dynasty Taige Zai Chancellor and the Imperial Pavilion Zhengguan University Scholar were also called Ge Lao. China's feudal social official system very clearly stipulates the title of "cabinet elder", in addition to the prime minister, the first assistant of the cabinet can be called the cabinet elder, the ming and qing dynasty as a cabinet member of the university bachelor can also be called the cabinet elder, the university scholar is already the lowest grade of the cabinet elder, there are cabinet elders qualifications of the official rank of the grade has a positive one product, from one product, two products, three products, the lowest level of university scholars at least five products. It can be seen from this that those who deserve to be called "Cabinet Elder" are all high-powered imperial court officials, and must serve in the cabinet of the Imperial Court, otherwise there is no "Cabinet" character for "Cabinet Elder". For example, Qing Zhao Yi's "Qiyu Cong Kao Ge Lao": "There is a Cabinet Old Fang in Suzhou, which was built by Wu Zai'an when he was a scholar, then Han Linzhi who was in charge of the edict in Wenyuan can also be called Ge Laoyi." This pavilion in Suzhou was built by Wu Pin's "Ge Lao" - Wu Kuan (匏庵) was built when he was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University in Hanlin Academy. And Suzhou folk custom to call the prime minister The Cabinet Elder, then, the "Cabinet Elder" is a high-ranking official of Zhengyipin. If there is a cabinet elder who returns to his hometown, there will be corresponding architectural remains such as former residences, academies, gardens and other buildings in his hometown, and there will also be clear records in the official lists of ancient books such as ancient Fang Zhi. If there is really such a cabinet elder in the history of a certain place in Suzhou, it will be publicized and passed down by the local people as a treasure, such as the real cabinet elder of the Ming Dynasty - our cabinet chief assistant Wang Jun, who is from Dongshan, Wu County, is a typical case, and it is also a household name without publicity. Feudal society was hierarchical, and the titles of officials involved in the imperial court were never allowed to be trespassed in the slightest, otherwise they would lead to the disaster of killing.
Feng Menglong's famous book "Three Words"
Feng Menglong was a great writer and thinker of ancient times, and a clean and honest official of high moral character, who was highly respected by contemporary rulers. Although Feng Menglong always had the ambition to serve the country, the road to the imperial examination was extremely bumpy, and he failed to succeed in many attempts, until Chongzhen was 57 years old in the third year of Chongzhen (1630) before he was made a gongsheng and served as a tutor in Dantu County; chongzhen only served as a seven-pin sesame official in Zhi County, Shouning County, Fujian Province, when he was over Huajia in the seventh year (1634), and returned to his hometown of Changzhou County, Suzhou Province four years later. In the third year of Qing Shunzhi, Feng Menglong was depressed, and there are also legends that he was killed by the Qing army.
The General History of Suzhou clearly records that Feng Menglong lived in Fengxi
From the biography recorded in the ancient books, it can be seen that Feng Menglong Gongsheng's academic status is actually relatively low, there is no imperial examination status or military merit that must be possessed by officials entering the imperial cabinet cabinet, and the highest position is the seven-pin official of Zhi County in Shouning, a remote area, and even the prefecture capital Yamen who is one level higher than the county has not served, so under any circumstances, Feng Menglong cannot have the status of "cabinet elder". The ancient hierarchical bureaucratic system irrefutably proves that even if there was a so-called "Feng Ge Lao" in the old days, that "Feng Ge Lao" would never be Feng Menglong, not to mention that any historical records at all levels in Suzhou did not have Feng Ge on the "Feng Ge Lao" and his person, and even if there was indeed a "Feng Ge Old Tomb" or a crown tomb on Feng Geng in history, it could not mean that the burial place was equal to the hometown, which is a kind of historical common sense. Therefore, the logical chain of interpreting "Feng Gelao" as "Feng Menglong" that no one can prove, and reasoning Feng Gongshangcun as Feng Menglong's hometown is actually made of thin paper paste, which is too absurd and too fragile to be vulnerable.
