In Maoming County, the ancient capital of Gaozhou, and Wuchuan, Guangdong today, there is a strange surname "Su Li", which has a history of more than 500 years and is a new surname. There is an interesting legend about the birth of Li Su.

In ancient times, in a corner of the coast of western Guangdong, there was an enviable land of geomantic omen and land of plenty, and Shuanglong entered the vein. The vast Jianjiang Li Xi flows here for a short time.

Take a break, then turn southwest to join the South China Sea; The gentle and graceful Little Dongjiang meanders south into the Sancha River, then comes here for a little spin, and then throws itself into the embrace of the sea with a graceful posture. The place that the two rivers look around is the Lanxi Plain in Sucun, Maoming County, Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province.

During the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Su in Shanghang Village, Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, Fujian Province. He traveled around in his official career and took a fancy to this treasure trove of feng shui. Su Shouzhi is a scholarly family and a family of officials. Together with his father Su Xingchu, he used to be a part-time civil servant from Liu Pin. After leaving office, he only left his eldest son in his hometown, moved here with his second and third sons, and began to thrive. Named "Su Cun" because of his surname. With the passage of the sun and the moon, Su Shouzhi lived with two sons, one of whom was childless, and the other gave birth to three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Up to now, the population is prosperous.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the six great-grandchildren of the Su family all married their daughters-in-law, but unfortunately nothing happened. The Su family is rich, and with its hard work in this land of geomantic omen, it has become a well-off family in the third generation. At that time, the three-bedroom and six-bedroom brothers of the Su family already owned thousands of acres of land and millions of property, so outsiders called them "Su Million". Livelihood is carefree, only incense lamps are difficult to continue. There are three kinds of unfilial, and none of them is the biggest, Sue.

The family immediately fell into the anxiety of the candle lamp, and the Kubinashi government was helpless. So I prayed to God to worship Buddha and perform divination, and then I did good deeds and accumulated virtue in order to continue the incense lamp. Fortunately, Su Bochuan, the third son of Sue's family, married Shiying's daughter in Shuangpaipo Village, Huazhou, and the village head of Li Erfang, the upper house of Huazhou. A few years later, she had a beloved son. tooth

On that day, the birth of the third child, Su Bochuan, undoubtedly brought the dawn of hope to Su Jia. Sue's family immediately beamed up and down, and all six incense lamps hoped that the car would become one person. Sue's family naturally took care of it in every way and regarded it as the apple of her eye. It was named Su Checheng, which means "children and grandchildren are like cars, rolling in; Ding is prosperous and has a successful career. "

Li, the upper house of the daughter-in-law's family (also called Shuangpai Li at that time), can also be described as a scholarly family, an official family and an aristocratic family in the local area. When Li's family learned that she had another grandson, they were all very happy. After the full moon, news came frequently, urging her daughter to give her nephew and baby to her grandparents for love. However, the traffic was inconvenient at that time, and it took more than 40 miles to go back and forth. Therefore, Sue's family refused to let her daughter-in-law and baby go back to their parents' home to visit relatives on the pretext that their children were still young and could not stand the bumps on the road.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly, and two years have passed unconsciously. Cheng Xiao is over two years old, as crisp and lovely as peanut seedlings in February and as tall as jute seedlings in March. Sue's daughter-in-law couldn't stand the urge of her parents and got the consent of Weng Gu and her husband. That summer, she hurried back to her parents' house to visit her family.

There are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed, but this trip has spawned a legendary story that will be told through the ages.

From Su village to Shuangpaipo village in Huazhou, the distance is more than 20 Li, and the wild trail has nine bends and eighteen bends, and it has to climb mountains and mountains. One summer day in June, the child bumped in his mother's back pocket for two or three hours before reaching his grandmother's house. At this time, the child sweated and gave birth to prickly heat. Grandma loved it and washed it in cold water soon. How can a child stand this ordeal, hot and cold! The poor car started to have a high fever that night and soon fell ill and fainted. At that time, the Li family was in a hurry, delaying medical treatment, asking for medicine and doing everything possible to take care of it. But at that time, there was a lack of medicine and medicine, and the medical skills were backward. Two or three days later, the child's condition became more and more serious and his life was dying. The Li family looked for famous doctors and medicines everywhere and asked God for help. A few days later,

Poor little car city, the only son of the Su family is dead.

Maybe it's destiny takes a hand, maybe it's because Che was born thin and weak, and it's difficult to inherit Su Men's six incense lamps and millions of family wealth and quietly escape from the world. But it was a bolt from the blue. Li's daughter-in-law cried her eyes out, and her parents were heartbroken and at a loss. How can we explain to Sue's family? They fell into a desperate situation of not responding and saying nothing every day.

Brother Li Weineng is simple and honest, and sister-in-law is hardworking and wise. She has two sons. The eldest son is seven or eight years old, named Wen Xian, and the youngest son is only over two years old, named Wen Ling. In this sudden disaster, the eldest sister-in-law comforted her aunt, took care of her two children, and kept the Li family in good order. At that time, my aunt, afraid to go back to her mother's house, often took care of two children for her eldest sister-in-law, and especially loved her little nephew Wen Ling. This literary age is born strong and intelligent, full of love and affection. Every time I hold him, it's like holding my own son. Within a few days, the child had a deep affection for his aunt, and all day long he just shouted to play with his aunt and ignored his mother.

One day, my sister-in-law came back from work in other places and saw her aunt.

Gu stood by the village with her child in her arms and looked east. Twenty miles east is her home! When he came, the child was alive and kicking, and in a twinkling, he was left alone. What should I tell Weng Gu and her husband when I go back? She fell into a melancholy trance. However, how the child's mother called Xiao Wenling, he just ignored it and snuggled up in his aunt's arms, making out like a mother and son.

The next day, Sister-in-law told Weng Gu that children love their aunts more than themselves. Weng Gu said that the child may have a fate with his aunt. The dreamer, thought the eldest sister-in-law, why don't you give her a hand with such a heavy blow? I have two sons. Since Xiao Wenling is predestined friends with her, let the children go with her aunt! Sister-in-law told the bewildered Weng Gu, her husband and aunt about it, and everyone agreed at once, and everyone was very happy! This big problem has to be solved like this.

A few days later, Su's daughter-in-law returned to Su Village with mixed feelings and her nephew who was similar to her children's age. Weng Gu and her husband were stunned when they saw it. Is this our car? At that time, the whole family was severely tortured. Helpless, the daughter-in-law had to tell the truth in tears, saying it was her family.

People hope that this child can inherit the blood of the Su family. Su family can only sigh in the face of such cruel reality! Looking back at my daughter-in-law's nephew, squatting, bright eyes, smart and lively, innocent and lovely. At that time, everyone suddenly had love and reluctantly accepted this cruel reality, so they changed their name to Sue and kept it a secret from now on, treating it as their own and taking good care of it.

When Su grew up, Su Yan hired a teacher to teach. Zhang Zhong was born with good genes from his ancestors, and he was born with intelligence. Secondly, he was raised by the Su family and cultivated with all his resources. In his early years, Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were omnipotent, and he was proficient in everything. At the age of eighteen, he was a scholar in the imperial examination, and was selected as a tribute in the Ming Dynasty (1393). He was promoted to the fatwa of Gaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, and was in charge of sacrifice and education in the prefecture.

Sue's grandson grew up with his grandfather since childhood. Influenced by his example and good atmosphere, he gradually became a famous "gifted scholar" in Shili Baxiang. In the 12th year of Ming Dynasty (1447), Su Bin was among the best in the rural examination and was awarded by senior high school. Su Bin won a prize and traveled all over the country to tell each other. How many years, even the prefectures and counties are rarely seen! At that time, the government prepared a gift according to the rules, carrying "silence" and "avoidance" deacons, and a line.

The good news team came to Sue's house with great strength. After receiving the good news, Su's family received a thank-you letter from the government, and at the same time quickly prepared sacrifices to pay homage to their ancestors to show their glory.

The Su family hung red lanterns first, and then called the whole family together to worship their ancestors. However, as soon as everyone worshipped, the Zushen brand fell from them inexplicably. Then, a strong wind suddenly blew away the red lantern. Everyone was surprised and asked, why is this? Everyone was confused, and Mrs. Su's family had to tell everyone why her grandfather Su was the blood of the Li family. Later, it was reported that the red lantern had been blown to the gate of the double-brand Lee Ancestral Hall. Everyone was filled with regret and amazement, ...

On the other hand, since the Li family adopted Xiao Wenling to Sue's home, Wen Ling's brother Li Wenxian has only one son, but he has nothing after marriage. In other words, Sue's father, Li Weineng, has no heir.

Su Bin won the jury, glorified his ancestors, and continued Su Jiasi's pulse, but Li Weineng of the Li family had no successor. At that time, the Li family filed a complaint with the Gaozhou municipal government, calling on Su's descendants to restore Li's surname in order to inherit Li Weineng's fragrance.

Lights. But Sue won't. Who will follow this Sue's incense lamp? At that time, the Daotai of Gaozhou Prefecture was also surnamed Su, but he also observed the people's feelings. When Su Daotai learned the details of Su and Li, he made a plan and pronounced: "If the ceremony belongs to this school, who will entrust the incense lamps of the Su family?" If powerful people are adopted, only the blood of powerful people is gone, but Su and Li are honored. Yun Yun. " Therefore, it was decided to change Su and his descendants' surnames to, which not only preserved the inheritance of Su Xiang Huodeng, but also affirmed the origin of Li. Kill two birds with one stone, both sides serve their sentences, and everyone is happy!

Therefore, after Su existed in Zhong Zhang, she changed her surname to "Su Li", and the peculiar surname "Su Li" was born. As far as the Su family is concerned, Su Xingchu, the father of the family and Su Shou, is the first ancestor and the sixth ancestor. As far as the Li family is concerned, the ancestors in the upper house happen to be the sixth ancestor. As far as Su Li is concerned, Zhong Zhang is the ancestor.

After Su Libin won the jury, according to the laws and regulations, Su Libin's three generations (father Su Liboguang, grandfather Su Lizhong, stepgreat-grandfather Su Bochuan, and great-grandfather Li Weineng) are all seven "Lin Wen", each enjoying a good reputation and spreading it well. The foundation of life and the grace of education have all turned into positive results and won praise in rural areas.

After Su Libin was promoted to Yishan County, he donated a ancestral temple in Su Village out of loyalty. "After taking the seat, I gave up the Su family's four generations of gratitude, and the middle seat gave up the seven generations of gratitude." Later, Su Yushu, the tenth grandson of Su Shouzhi, the eldest son of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and a politician in Lingxi, Guangdong Province, who stayed in Fujian, made a couplet, which still exists today, illustrating this legendary story. Its couplet says:

Difficult heirs used to adopt nephews.

Li was born today.

During Jingtai period of Ming Dynasty, juren Su Libin donated money to build the Li's Grand Ancestral Hall in Huazhou City. Soon after, the descendants of Zurich moved to Lanxi and Naling, where more than 30 natural villages were bred, and the population developed rapidly, forming a well-known village household in Wuchuan.

Today, most of the villagers have been rewritten as Li's surname, and some people still use "Su Li" to meet their own needs. All along, the family has been compiling music with Li, the upper house. In the genealogy, the origin of "Su Li" family is clearly recorded.

For hundreds of years, Mr. Su and Mr. Li in the upper house have been obsessed with their families' relatives, offering sacrifices to their ancestors and supporting clan affairs together, which has become a beautiful talk that has been told for generations.
