What is the meaning of Ma Xu Zongfeng?

Here I want to mention an ancestor named Yugong, a native of Tancheng County, Donghai County in the Han Dynasty, who was a prison officer in the county. Of course, it's not a surname. Maybe he was not a big shot at that time, so he didn't leave his name. For example, Ye Gong, a dragon lover, and Liu Bang's old man, Liu Taigong, have only one name in the history books. Why did this little jailer who didn't even leave his name make Yu's descendants proud for more than two thousand years? It is the influence of the "Donghai filial piety" incident.

The incident of "filial piety in the East China Sea" was first seen in the biography of Dingguo Han Dynasty. It is said that there was a woman in Donghai County whose husband died young, leaving a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law. The woman never left. She still took care of her mother-in-law for ten years, but her mother-in-law didn't want to drag her down and hanged herself. However, Mrs. Baiwenhang went to the government to sue her for murdering her mother-in-law, an idiot. And Yu Gong also set out according to common sense. Can a person who can serve her mother-in-law for ten years harm her mother-in-law? It must be wrong, entangled with the satrap, but unable to return to heaven, crying and resigned. After the woman was killed, there were three years of snow and drought in June. Three years later, the new magistrate arrived to investigate the matter thoroughly. He learned the truth through divination. (Cao, the result of divination is also calculated, which is not much better than common sense. He rehabilitated his filial wife and went to her grave to worship and praise her virtue, so the rain fell from the sky as if a woman were crying. Yu Gongyin's responsibility in this case has become a character who touched China in those years and a moral model of karma handed down from generation to generation by our people.

The foolish old man thought he was just breaking the prison, and he couldn't help being a little arrogant. Once the door of his house was broken, he asked the villagers to repair it. He said: "If you are not tall, you can build a car. I am more virtuous in prison. I don't believe in his case of divination according to common sense, but I don't believe in killing several good people. ) "Xu's hood" is a four-horse covered car. According to Zhou Li, the son of heaven drives six, the prince drives five, and the Qing dynasty drives four, that is to say, his descendants should be developed, at least to reach the level of the Qing dynasty, and they should take four covered carriages home. Sure enough, his son Wei Dingguo later became the prime minister of Emperor Xuan Di. This is the origin of "Ma Xu Zongfeng". One is to praise the virtues of ancestors and be descendants, and the other is to remember and carry forward the thoughts and traditions of ancestors' honesty and integrity, and accumulate more virtues for officials.
