Zhou Ying's family background is prominent, but his life is bumpy. First, the decline of the Zhou family. After marrying Master Wu, both her husband and father-in-law died. At the critical moment, he was ordered to take over the Wu family's industry, but turned a bankrupt enterprise into a "business empire". Rich, she is also charitable, doing a lot of charity work in the local area and giving generously to the Qing government twice. She was adopted as an adopted daughter by Cixi and became an imperial concubine. It's just that she was widowed at a young age and had no men or women, so she didn't go to Wu Jiazu's grave after her death, but was buried in what everyone said was a chaotic grave. This is a bit strange and has attracted a lot of people's attention.
Let's go and see the truth.
First, he was ordered to take over Wu's property.
In the TV series, Zhou Ying is a Jianghu gangster with a tragic life experience. In fact, Zhou Ying's family background is very good in history. Her ancestors used to be a big local businessman and built a luxurious mansion in 17 courtyard, but by this time, her family had declined.
17 years old, married Wu, who works in Anwubao, Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province. Some people say it is a happy event, while others say that the two families have been married since childhood. I prefer the second statement.
The Zhou family is not weak, so there is no need to send her to the fire pit. Besides, her husband died three years after she married the Wu family. They had a daughter at that time, but she died unfortunately.
After her husband died, her father-in-law died again, and Zhou Ying became Wu An's widow. The Wu family's huge industry is also on the verge of collapse. It can be said that it was ordered to take over the Wu family industry at a critical moment.
I have to say, Zhou Ying is very business-minded. She turned such a declining industry into a "business empire" step by step, and she also became the famous richest woman in Shaanxi history.
Secondly, Zhou Ying was charitable and generous to the Qing government.
Zhou Ying is already very rich, but she is not a unscrupulous profiteer. She pays attention to honesty in business, and she is even more charitable when she has money.
When encountering natural and man-made disasters in the local area, she will open a warehouse to release grain and help the poor; Also funded the construction of water conservancy and donated money for teaching; She is most famous for her two generous donations to the Qing government.
The first time was 1900, when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Cixi fled to xi 'an with people and donated 65,438+2 million silver. Cixi was greatly moved and accepted her as her adopted daughter. What's more, she was given an autographed plaque of "Mrs. Protecting the Country".
The second time was at 190 1. After the Qing government signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" with 1 1, it needed a lot of reparations. Zhou Ying once again gave generously and was named "Mrs. Yipin" by Cixi.
3. Buried in a mass grave? The family property was donated to the government to resist Japan.
Zhou Ying died at the age of 42. I think he is overworked, so where to be buried after death becomes a problem.
At that time, Wu Garden Mausoleum occupied 50 mu, but it was said that she was a widow and had no children, so she was not buried there. Instead, she was buried in a deserted place hundreds of meters away, called Luanfen, facing her husband at a distance.
However, this statement is not credible to many people. When Zhou Ying died, it was about 19 1 1 year. The Qing government is not extinct, and there are so many survivors. Such a "Mrs. Yipin's King James" was hastily buried, and it was not agreed.
Zhou Ying's adopted son, Wu Huai, now donated all his inherited property to the National Government on the eve of the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, in order to resist Japan. He is by no means a heartless man.
However, the great-granddaughter gave another statement, saying that she had seen Feng Shui before her death, but the tomb of Wu Jiazu was not prosperous, and now the burial place was chosen by Mr. Feng Shui, who could prosper her descendants.
Two years ago, Sun Li starred in the TV series "Flowers bloom and the moon is full that year". After the broadcast, Zhou Ying, the heroine of the play, quickly became popular. People saw the legendary life of businesswomen in the late Qing Dynasty in TV dramas. Although Zhou Ying was widowed all her life, she had hidden great love for her country in her heart, and she became a representative of the style of Qin merchants.
In the long river of real history, there is indeed a person like Zhou Ying. She was widowed in the mood for love and was recognized as an adopted daughter by Cixi, but after her death, she was unable to enter the family cemetery or even broke. Why?

Zhou Ying 1869 was born in Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province, but she was not fatherless as in TV series, but was born in a wealthy local family. Although business people are not well-educated, they attach great importance to their children's education. Zhou Ying is extremely smart since she was a child, so she has read a lot of poetry books since she was a child, especially math-related courses, which is one of the reasons why she can make great achievements in business. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, she was introduced by a matchmaker and married the only son of the Wu family in Jingyang county at that time.
Zhou Ying's husband, Wu Pin.
Wu Jiake was a powerful salt merchant at that time, and this identity was really suitable for Zhou Ying. Unfortunately, the Wu family concealed the news that their son had an incurable disease. So, a year after Zhou Ying's visit, Wu Weiwen, his father-in-law, died unexpectedly on a business trip, and Wu Pin, who couldn't stand the blow, died soon because of his father. At this time, without giving gifts to the Wu family, she became a widow, and there was no male at home. She had to support the whole Wu family.

After taking over the Wu family's property, instead of being depressed, she revived the huge family business through a series of reforms. First of all, she personally made a patrol survey in the name of the firm, and even went to find out the details of some competitors; Secondly, she is good at employing people. She has selected some loyal and talented people in these firms, and she also attaches great importance to these Lao Wu people, giving them a raise and even mobilizing the enthusiasm of these employees by paying dividends. When dealing with major problems in the store, she will also solicit opinions from employees.
Wu Pin died of illness.
In this way, she not only established her prestige in the Wu family, but also expanded the Wu family's industry again, and even accumulated a very rich degree of property. 1900, due to Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, Cixi and others fled to xi 'an. At this time, Zhou Ying was full of national justice, and she donated 654.38+2 million taels of silver to relieve the national crisis.
Later, Cixi made an exception and accepted this Han woman as her adopted daughter, and set up a plaque for her as "Mrs. Protecting the Country". Besides, she also has a good reputation in the rural neighborhood. Whenever there are natural and man-made disasters, she opens the warehouse of the Wu family to help the people and set up schools at the same time. She did a lot of good things in the village during her lifetime.
Zhou Ying Steels
Zhou Ying was only 42 years old when she died, but she didn't give birth to the Wu family, so she was not qualified to enter the Wu family's grave after her death. Finally, people found a wasteland to bury her. Before her death, she donated part of all her property to the Qing government to save the country, and the other part was distributed to the servants and villagers at that time, so she died penniless.
But when she was buried, people from all over the country came to pay their respects, which was enough to show her position in people's hearts. Her life is unfortunate, but with her own efforts and love, she has lived a lucky life that no one else has.
As the richest man in Shaanxi and the adopted daughter of Cixi, she has the titles of "Mrs. Protecting the Country" and "Mrs. Yipin". In particular, she helped Cixi in times of crisis and paid for the unequal "Xin Chou Treaty" signed by the state and the Qing Dynasty. A legendary businesswoman, Zhou Ying died young from overwork at the age of 42.
Zhou Ying, the legendary richest man in Shaanxi, was once the adopted daughter of Cixi. Why was she buried in the cemetery after she died?
1. Generally speaking, it's because she didn't leave any children for the Wu family. According to the custom, she can't bury the Wu family's tomb. Today, many of our backward places still continue this bad habit, which I think is possible. Although it brought fame and fortune to the Wu family in business and politics, it was a serious injury. She did have an adopted son, Zhou Huaixian, before her death, but if she died, the Wu elders would not recognize her relationship with her adopted son. Even with the great ability and skill, there is no possibility of hiding in front of Wu Jiazu's grave. After all, the feudal ethical code was deeply rooted at that time, which was very harmful to people's spirit.
It is said that Zhou Huaixian, the adopted son, did not agree to be buried in Wu Lingyuan after his death, because there was a deep contradiction between the two sides before, and he also accused Zhou Huaixian of being disobedient and unfilial. Zhou Huai is a patriotic businessman. In the arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he contributed to the country. His personality is obvious, there is no doubt about it. How can a man with such a big heart refuse to adopt his mother to the ancestral grave? I think it's because the mother-child relationship was not harmonious before, and people speculated. I can't believe this statement.
3. Now there is a saying that she voluntarily refuses to go to the ancestral graves of the Wu family, because according to her experience and past, she understands that the Feng Shui officials of the Wu family have made a fortune, but they have not made a fortune. Zhou Ying, a strange girl, wanted to change this situation, so he took great pains to ask Mr. Feng Shui to find another place for his rich children to be buried.
In 2007, the TV series "Full Moon with Flowers" went online, which made many stars such as Sun Li, Chen Xiao, Peter Ho, Ren Zhong, Hu Xinger and Ham popular, and also let many people see the real Zhou Ying and have a certain understanding of the richest woman in Shaanxi in the history of our country. Although there are some discrepancies between TV series and historical records, this does not affect people's love for this woman. Zhou Ying, a business genius, is charitable and donates money to save the country.
First of all, as the richest man in Shaanxi, Zhou Ying, an ordinary woman, has a legendary life, but the topic of being buried in a cemetery after her death is not accurate enough! It is understood that it was buried 200 meters away from Wu's tomb. Due to the influence of the war, her grave has long since disappeared.
Cixi's adopted daughter died of overwork at the age of 42, but why wasn't she buried in Wu's ancestral grave? And buried 200 meters away from Wu's tomb!
Let me analyze it. If you have different opinions, please correct me:
There is a saying that the Wu family has no heir (according to historical records, it seems that a girl was born, but she died at a young age). Maybe it was impossible to bury the Wu tomb according to the local customs at that time, but I think this statement is a bit far-fetched. The fame and money brought to the Wu family from business and politics is still a stepson, Zhou Huaixian, who has no heir. If it is really the bondage of feudal ethics, it will be really sad.
Second, the stepson Zhou Huaixian refused to be buried in the cemetery after his stepmother Zhou Ying died. Zhou Ying told his stepson that he was disobedient and unfilial because there were contradictions between the two sides before. I think this statement is a bit far-fetched Judging from Zhou Huaixian's anti-Japanese behavior, this person's character is not bad. In addition, does Zhou Huaixian really have the right to prevent this woman who has made contributions to the Zhou family from being buried in the cemetery?
Three statements (I think this one is more credible than the first two) were made voluntarily, because at that time, some people said that the Wu family was rich in feng shui, not prosperous. Zhou Ying wanted to change this situation, so he found another cemetery for these rich children.
In any case, with his extraordinary wisdom and courage, he created a business empire and created a lot of wealth for the Wu family. She also promotes water conservancy and education for the country. She is charitable, donating money to save the country and benefit the country and the people. For a long time, her deeds have been widely circulated in Guanzhong and even the whole country.
Thank you for checking, and welcome your corrections and concerns, and chat with Uncle Liu about interesting historical stories at home and abroad.
Zhou Ying's life experience is very strange. The ancestors of the Zhou family were very rich, and his great-grandfather was a famous businessman. However, because he participated in a failed anti-Qing uprising and recovered his eyesight, Zhou was born in, and his family was in trouble. To make matters worse, Zhou Ying's parents died when she was very young. She was raised by her brother and sister, who married Wu Weiwen, the richest businessman in the area, for money. When Zhou Ying was at a loss, another blow came. His father-in-law, the patron of this family, lost his left support, his business plummeted, and finally he was framed and imprisoned and died. At that time, Nuoda's family business lost its main share. At this time, Zhou Ying stood up and took on the development pressure of the whole family business. She has a business mind, and her business is even better than her father-in-law. She is the richest man in Shaanxi. Finally, even Cixi noticed her and recognized her as an adopted daughter. It became a story for a time. Because Zhou Ying's husband died young and had no children, he could not remarry. In order to continue the incense, Wu Nai adopted his half-brother son as his adopted son. The adopted son didn't respect Zhou Ying as described in the TV series, but was very bad to Zhou Ying. Zhou Ying died at the age of 42. The unfilial adopted son hastily buried her in the ancestral grave of the Wu family instead of letting her and her husband be buried together. What a pity! What a pity!
Shaanxi, the hometown of Huangyan, the cradle of Chinese nation and the birthplace of oriental civilization. This is an authentic Chinese civilization and the birthplace of Chinese culture. Zhou Ying, the richest woman, was born in this land of Shaanxi. Her life was full of ups and downs, but she propped up a big family on her own and made her business the best in the world. She was called the richest woman in Shaanxi by later generations.
According to Zhou Ying, the full moon blooming that year has become an annual hit drama. That night, the flowers were blooming enchanting. Who knows what my daughter is thinking? She is speechless, the moon is small, people are lonely, and spoony people can't get it and forget it. It tells the story of a life that Zhou Ying wants to love but can't. Marriage is a woman's second reincarnation, but Zhou Ying's marriage died before she grew up.
Zhou Ying's ancestors were rich and powerful families, but later they declined. And the Wu family are aristocratic families. Shortly after Zhou Yinggang was born, he married Wu Gongzi. At that time, all the wedding events were ordered by his parents, and the matchmaker said he couldn't do it himself, so Zhou Ying's life was fixed from birth.
I didn't see my husband until 17 married into the Wu family. Unexpectedly, Wu was seriously ill at that time. The reason why the Wu family married her at this time is to celebrate. Zhou Ying was disappointed when he learned the truth. Her husband, Wu, was deeply sorry to see this, so he escaped marriage and married a good family.
But Zhou Ying refused. She said, since the worship of heaven and earth, it is a lifetime of husband and wife, Wu Pin is the only one in this life. Hearing Zhou Ying say this, Wu Pin was very moved. In the following years, their feelings were very good, loving and harmonious.
However, Wu Pin was too weak after all, and Zhou Ying's father-in-law was framed and died in prison. Wu Pin died soon, and Zhou Ying became a widow. Coupled with the absence of other brothers and sisters, the Wu family became a poor family.
At this time, the people of the Wu family were afraid of remarriage and taking away their property, so they joined forces to rob the Wu family's property, because it was a domestic matter and the government had no way to intervene. At this critical moment, stand up and she doesn't want the Wu family to decline. Even if there is any big difficulty, she will let the Wu family develop again on their own.
Zhou Ying kept her promise, and in the next few decades, she really did it. Because the Zhou family is a business family, they have learned a lot of business knowledge since childhood. Besides, she is a business expert. She was smart and capable, and she was good at management. She spread Wu's business all over the world, covering a wide range of fields, and soon brought the devastated Wu family back to life.
Because Zhou Ying had no children, he adopted a boy from the same family as his adopted son. However, the relationship between the adopted son and Zhou Ying is not as good as that shown on TV. Instigated by others, he sued Zhou Ying for property as an adult. Determined to give the Wu family's property to their adopted son. I didn't expect my adopted son to do this to himself. It's very sad. Therefore, she made up her mind to regain the power of the Wu family. Zhou Ying had great influence in the local area and eventually regained the power of the Wu family.
Zhou Ying doesn't forget to help others when he makes money. She is charitable and has been helped by countless people. Therefore, Zhou Ying has a very good reputation in the local area. People are willing to help her when she is in trouble. It was a time of famine and war. Zhou Ying can do business so smoothly, which is inseparable from her hard work and business. Without Wu, she would have fallen.
The acquaintance between Zhou Ying and Cixi took place when Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing and Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to the west. At that time, after Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to the west, all the way to Shaanxi Province. After learning of the arrival of Cixi, Zhou Ying generously donated 6.5438+2 million taels of silver. Cixi was very grateful for Zhou Ying's action and thought that the people of China were still thinking about the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, she named Zhou Ying Mrs Yipin, commensurate with her mother and daughter.
However, Zhou Ying, who was plagued by bad karma, only lived to be 42 years old. She created countless miracles in her short life and became the richest woman in Shaanxi Province. Her charity has saved countless lives, and she was appointed at a critical moment. But because she has no children, although she adopted children, the relationship is not good, so after her death, she can only be buried several hundred miles away from Wujiayuan Cemetery, not with Wu Pin.
Zhou Ying proved with her own personal experience that a woman can still hold up a day, but her life is too bumpy. Although she has made achievements that men can't reach, she finally gives people a feeling of bad karma. But she has saved countless lives in this life. We hope that she will have a good life in the afterlife and meet a healthy person who will love each other for life! (The above pictures are all from the Internet)
Because he had no children, he could not enter the ancestral grave and was finally buried 200 meters away from Wuzu grave. People built a temple to commemorate her and called her "water god".
Legend has it that the Wu family did not have children and could not be buried in the ancestral grave, but was buried somewhere in the east of the ancestral grave.
However, Wu An's widow, Zhou Ying, has always been praised for her business legend.
