Is there a family with a long history in China?

The descendants of Confucius should be regarded as [Comment Essay] What aristocratic families are there in contemporary China? /public forum/content/no05/ 1/ 129469。 Shtml said that the "aristocratic family" in the Middle Ages was first characterized as decadent and ignorant according to the previous class view. However, with the continuous development of historical thought and in-depth research, people gradually realize that this method of killing with a stick is extremely simple and absurd. The so-called "aristocratic family" is basically the cultural representative of a region. They use their cultural advantages to participate in state power and exert influence on major policies, thus safeguarding the political, economic and cultural interests of their families and even their regions.

Now I often see some information about the so-called upper class, but they are all vague. Some rumors are hard to distinguish between true and false, such as "Gu is in Jixi, Shen is in Hengdian". Are Gu, Shen and Lu really locals?

It is possible to find some records of ancient families, such as

The Origin of Jixi's "Four Lakes"

Hu is a big family in Jixi. There are many Hu ancestral halls and their branches in the county. These ancestral halls have different names because of different factors, such as the year when they entered the DPRK, the place where they settled, the time when they were built and the later famous ministers. Therefore, Jixi's "Sanhu" has been circulated. According to textual research, the Hu family in Jixi has four major veins, namely, Golden Lake in the north gate, Shangshu Lake in Longchuan (Kengkou), Zunyi Lake in the east of the city and Mingjing Lake in the lake (including Shangzhuang). Due to the complexity of genealogy, not only did foreigners such as Mr Cai Pei mistakenly regard Hu Shi as a descendant of "Hu Sanli" when prefacing the Outline of China Philosophy, but even people with different surnames in this county were often confused. In fact, from the genealogy of Hu surname in Jixi, it can be found that although the ancestors of each ancestor are different, there is a record in the preface of the genealogy that "Hu surname is a descendant of Yu Shun".

"Jin" lived in the Tang Dynasty and was often the ancestor. He moved from Banqiao Village in Puyang, Qingzhou to Wuliaoshan, and moved to Jixi in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The temple was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and named after Dr. Jin Guanglu, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty.

"Shangshuhu" is the ancestor of Hu Yan who lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Yan Shi, the official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, rode out of Zhangzhou with an imperial envoy, and his family moved from Banqiao Village, Puyang, Qingzhou, to Longchuan. This shrine was built in the Song Dynasty. It was named after Hu Fu, the famous minister of Hongzhi and Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Military Affairs, Hu Zongxian and Shangshu.

"Zunyi Hu" is the ancestor. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was moved from Wucheng, Zhejiang Province to Huxihu Village, Jixi, and moved to Zunyi Square in the east of the city at eleven o'clock to build an ancestral temple, hence the name.

"Ming Jing Hu", a native of Southern Tang Dynasty, is the ancestor of Jinshi Changyi. Changyi, Tang Zhaozong and Zhu Wen usurped the throne, and the emperor was in trouble. With his youngest son, he entrusted Hu Qing (Sangong) to leave the wing, return to Wuyuan, and go to the south to take an examination of Sichuan. The third son was born, and the eldest son was named Yan Jin. He moved to Jixi Lake and built a temple. Because of its name, Hu (commonly known as "Li Gaihu") moved to Zhaitan and Shangzhuang in Lingbei, and built another ancestral hall, which was called Hu Shangzhuang Sect.

According to the Preface written by Hu Shunyi during the years of Yu Shun, Zhou suppressed his father. "Well, Fengshun is full of Chen and overflowing Hu, because of his surname." About this distant ancestor, Hu's genealogy, including Hu Changyi and his father Sangong, is the same, and there is no objection. As for Admiralty Tiger and Shangshu Hu Zong, their blood ties are particularly close, and the genealogy of the two ancestral halls is the same. From the first full to the thirty-fourth strict, it comes down in one continuous line. Among them, the thirty-third chain official, the Western Jin Dynasty, served as an imperial envoy in the temple and lived in Banqiao Village, Puyang, Qingzhou. Yan moved to Longchuan in the 34th century. He was the ancestor of Hu Zongzhi, a senior minister, and began to branch. Mi Zhu, the ancestor of Jin, was fifty people after the Qing Dynasty.

Since the Song Dynasty, Jixi has produced many famous ministers and celebrities, each with his own merits. In the Song Dynasty, the "gold" had the emblem of a famous minister in the Warring States period, and the letter was written to vindicate Yue Fei. Second, Hu Shunyi was discovered in Qin Gui. Hu Zai, the son of Shunyi, has 100 volumes of Tiaoxi Fishing and Concealing Conghua. In the Ming Dynasty, Hu was jindun's right envoy and Henan's political envoy. In the Qing Dynasty, Hu Bingqian, Hu and Hu Pei wrote The Book of Rites of Sanhu. There was an educator Hu Zicheng in the Republic of China. Hu Yushu, a modern scholar in China. Longchuan Hu in Ming Dynasty strongly denounced eunuch Liu Jin Chenghua, scholar Hu Fu, minister of war, anti-Japanese famous prince Shao Bao, and wrote thirteen volumes of charts. Qi Jiguang and Yu are possessed by their own demons. During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, there were famous Mohist Hu Kaiwen and modern world-renowned scholar Dr. Hu Shi. In the Huli School, there is Hu Xueyan, a red-topped businessman who pioneered the name of "Huqingyutang" in the Qing Dynasty. "Zunyi Hu" was a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, tired of the Ministry of Industry, dared to confront the powerful minister Yan Song, and became famous in the ruling and opposition; Hu Shu, a juren in Qing Dynasty, is famous for his seal cutting, calligraphy and landscape painting.

So the Hu surname of Jixi is a big family. Throughout the ages, Hu has made outstanding contributions and talented people have come forth in large numbers. Their achievements will always be recorded in the history of Jixi, inspiring future generations to inherit and carry forward the traditions of the ancients and continue to create brilliant achievements in all walks of life.
