Duke Hu of Chen was a descendant of Emperor Shun, the ancestor of the Surname Chen and the Hu surname, and married the daughter of King Wu of Zhou. Why are Sun Quan and Wang Mang also his descendants?

The "History of the Chen Qi Family" records that "Chen Hu Gongman, after Emperor Yu, also ... As for King Ke Yin of ZhouWu, after he asked For Shun, he was given the title of Concubine man and enfeoffed to Chen in order to serve Emperor Shun, for the Duke of Hu. ”

In that year, Emperor Shun's filial piety and righteousness, the world knew everything, Emperor Yao chose him as his successor, and married his two daughters to him. Emperor Shun's family first lived in Yongji, Shanxi, and his descendants were surnamed Concubines. After king Wu of Zhou succeeded in cutting the silk, he found Shun's descendant Concubine Man and sealed him in the State of Chen, that is, the Duke of Hu.

Chen Hugong's father, Father Yu, dissatisfied with the brutal rule of King Shang, defected to King Wen of Zhou and served as the official in charge of making pottery, Tao Zheng. Father Yu's exquisite pottery skills solved the problem of people's "rice bowls" at that time, and won the weight of the monarchs of the two generations of Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu.

After King Wu of Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty, in order to consolidate the rule of the regime, he found out the descendants of the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" and divided them into seals. After Emperor Shun, he was enfeoffed in ChenDi, a part of Henan and Anhui, to promote the spirit of Emperor Shun, with the national name "Chen" and the title of Marquis.

During his ten-year reign, Concubine Man ruled the country with filial piety to the inside and strengthened national defense externally, making the State of Chen a state of etiquette and ranking among the twelve princely states. Unfortunately, Concubine Fei died at a young age, and her nickname was Hu Gong (胡公), and the history was called Chen Hu Gong (陈胡公).

After the death of Duke Hu of Chen, his eldest son Duke Shen of Chen succeeded to the throne, but unfortunately died prematurely. The second son, Chen Xianggong, succeeded him as the state of Chen, and after his death, he made Chen Xiaogong, the son of Duke Shen of Chen, the monarch. In this way, the son inherited his father's business and passed it on for more than two hundred years, safe and sound.

In 706 BC, the 12th monarch of the State of Chen, Princess Huan of Chen, was seriously ill when his half-brother Chen Tuo colluded with cai guoren to kill the crown prince Concubine. After the death of Duke Huan of Chen, he established himself as the king of the State of Chen.

Chen Tuo once had sex in the Cai Kingdom, and was learned by Chen Huangong's second son Concubine Yue, the third son Concubine Lin, and the fourth son Concubine Pestle, so he designed to kill Chen Tuo, and then Concubine Yue succeeded to the throne as Chen Ligong. In 705 BC, Chen Ligong gave birth to a son, named Chen Quan.

At that time, just as Zhou Taishi was passing through Chen Guo, Chen Ligong asked him to use "Zhou Yi" to calculate gua for his son, and the gua he got was guan gua change or no gua, Zhou Taishi said: "This is the gua of a noble person, which is conducive to being a guest of the son of heaven." Either in Chen Guo, or in other countries. Either himself, or his descendants. ”

In 699 BC, Chen Ligong died after 7 years on the throne, and since Chen Quan was only 6 years old and too young, he was succeeded by Chen Ligong's third brother Concubine Lin, that is, Chen Zhuanggong. In 693 BC, Duke Zhuang of Chen died, and was succeeded by his fourth brother, Duke Xuan of Chen.

In 672 BC, Duke Xuan of Chen, who reigned for 21 years, made Yu Kou, the son of his favorite concubine, crown prince. At this time, Chen Quan, who was already 33 years old, became The Minister of Chen Guo. Chen Xuangong saw that Crown Prince Yukou was friendly with Chen Quan, thinking that they were going to rebel, so he killed Crown Prince Yukou.

Chen Quan knew that this was the fourth uncle Chen Xuangong, who was afraid that he would take his throne. He was also worried that the fourth uncle would kill himself, so he ran to the country of Qi to avoid trouble. Duke Qi Huan wanted Chen Quan to be vice premier, and Chen Quan said, "I am a foreign minister, and if I don't do labor, I am already grateful and dare not serve as a high-ranking official." ”

Huan Gong made Chen Quan the Minister of Industry. Yi Zhong, a powerful minister of the State of Qi, wanted to marry his daughter to Chen Guan, and first counted a gua, saying: "Husband and wife are like phoenixes, and future generations will breed and prosper in the country of Qi." Five generations later, his status was on a par with that of the prime minister. Eight generations later, no one can compare. ”

Sure enough, in 545 BC, Chen Quan's fourth grandson, Tian Huanzi, joined forces with others to eliminate the Qing clan of the State of Qi. Tian Huanzi's son, Tian Beg, used the method of borrowing from The Big Bucket and recycling it from the Small Bucket to sell people's hearts and make the people of the State of Qi return to it like flowing water.

In 489 BC, Tian Qi established himself as the prime minister of the State of Qi. Since then, the Tian clan has taken control of the state politics of the State of Qi, which happens to be the fifth generation of gua ci theory. In 481 BC, Tian Heng, the son of Tian Beg, killed the Prince of Qi jian of the State of Qi, and established the Duke of Qi Ping, monopolizing power, and winning the hearts and minds of the people with "rewards for repairing the gong".

In 386 BC, Tian Heng IV Sun Tian He deposed the Duke of Qi Kang. He exiled him to the sea and established himself as the monarch, which is the ninth generation after the eighth generation of gua ci. Since then, jiang ziya's descendants of the Jiang surname Qi guo have been extinct. The Chen Tian clan still used "Qi" as the national name, and the history called "Chen Tian usurped Qi".

Chen Quan's fourth grandson Tian Huan had five sons, in addition to the second son Tian Qi mentioned above, his fourth son Tian Shu, in 521 BC, rebelled against ju guo, and Qi Jinggong was given the surname of Sun. Sun Shu was the grandfather of Sun Wu, the son of Sun Shu, and Sun Ping, who was born of Sun Wu.

Sun Wu wrote the famous book "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and his descendants, as well as an outstanding military expert, were Sun Bing, the author of "Sun Bing's Art of War". The 22nd generation grandson of Sun Wu, sun quan, the lord of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, once again pushed the descendants of chen surname to the brilliant political peak.

In 221 BC, the State of Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and the State of Qi was the last to perish, and the king of the State of Qi, Wang Jian, heeded the advice of the chancellor Hou Sheng and surrendered to the State of Qin. Qin Shi Huang placed Qi Wangjian in Gongdi and did not give him food, and Qi Wangjian eventually starved to death.

Qi Wangjian's grandson Tian Shi changed his name to Wang Shi to avoid killing. Wang Shi's great-grandson Wang Ban had four daughters and eight males: the second empress dowager, Empress Xiaoyuan of the Western Han Dynasty, and the biological mother of Emperor Liu Xiao of Hancheng. The second son, Wang Man, had a second son: the second son, Wang Mang, was the emperor of the new Dynasty who usurped the Han Dynasty.

The famous Guoxue "Thousand Character Text" has the saying "Yongsui Jishao", which literally translates as "Forever Peaceful and Beautiful". Wang Mang was proclaimed empress dowager, and posthumously honored Chen Hu as the King of Chen Hu and the temple name Tongzu. In 478 BC, the State of Chen was destroyed by the State of Chu for a total of 25 dynasties, lasting 568 years.

Mountain residence autumn

Wang wei

After the new rain on the empty mountain, the weather came late in autumn.

Bright moon pine light, clear spring stone upstream.

The bamboo hustle and bustle returned to the raccoon girl, and the lotus moved down the fishing boat.

Feel free to rest in the spring, and Wang Sun can stay for himself.
