Zhu Sheng and his son The Secret Behind.
In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Sheng invited Lao Guishan to return to Shimen. He suffered from lung disease and returned to his hometown two years after Shimen's death.
But his tomb is in Yancheng, Jiangsu, which was built by Zhu's descendants. The tombstone records that Hongwu was two years old and resigned and retired on the grounds of being old and worshipping his ancestors. Mrs. Huai went to the East China Sea, moved to Xixi and built a room in Nanlonggang. He died the following year and was buried in Wenqugou, Nanlonggang, Yancheng, at the age of 72.
From Zhu Sheng's LAM Raymond Collection and Jeikiy's foreshadowing Collection, we can sort out Zhu Sheng's life track before and after his death. To be sure, Zhu Sheng spent his later years in Shimen, and the record about Yancheng is wrong.
At least, the only evidence now is that the tomb of Seven Sun Zhu fell in Yancheng and died in December of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty.
From his death in 1370 to the death of the seventh Sun Zhu 1504, there was an interval of 134 years.
After he died in Zhu Sheng, why did you bury him behind a branch?
Where is Zhu Sheng's grave?
There is a custom in ancient Huizhou. After sixty, they have to prepare their own coffins and cemeteries. Zhu Sheng prepared a cemetery for himself, that is Zhan Tian.
In 200 AD, Zhu Sheng wrote a five-character poem:
The cemetery in Zhu Sheng must have been surveyed and selected by a Feng Shui teacher. This poem has no meaning of time, but it can be seen from the dust in the sea that Zhu Yuanzhang had taken control of the overall situation at that time and the domestic situation tended to be stable. As can be seen from the poem, why do relatives and friends cry and laugh into the gloom? It can be seen that Zhu Sheng ignores the law.
However, Zhu Sheng was not buried in Zhantian immediately after his death. According to Zhu Hongzhi LAM Raymond's collection, it was buried at a fork in the road and later changed to Zhantian.
Looking closely at Zhantian Jiacheng, we found a fork township in Xiuning County, about 20 kilometers away from Shimen. There is also a branch near Tyana-Taylor in Shimen, which is a natural village. It is only about 2 kilometers away from Shimen.
Obviously, Zhu Sheng's tomb was first buried in Chakou Village near Shimen, not in Chakou Township, Xiuning, about 40 miles away from Shimen.
I checked the division from Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty to Shexian in the Republic of China. In Huizhou Prefecture of the Republic of China, Shimen, Chakou and Zhantian were twenty-five capitals, and Zhantian was Zhantian. According to Anhui Atlas, Zhan is a visionary master.
Why don't you bury Zhu Sheng's feng shui treasure, and bury the branches first? This mystery can be found in Jeikiy's article. Zhu Tong said in "Shexian annals":
Alas! The flow of time is rapid, the order of festivals changes, death and crying are imminent, and a heavy collapse has taken place. According to the funeral ceremony in March, we can learn from it today. In the Book of Mud Tombs, Yang said that we should pay attention to the life test first, and don't confuse it.
The funeral ceremony of the ancient Han nationality was very particular: the dutiful son cried from the death of his parents to the funeral; After the funeral, I will cry when I think of my parents, but I won't. I can't choose the time. I call it crying all the time. That is, death ends, and mourning is a ceremony to end crying. Since then, I have changed to cry once every morning and evening, sometimes.
According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, people were buried in March. Since the date of burial, * * * has held three funerals, and the funeral was held on the first day after the third funeral. At this time, it is about 100 days from the beginning of death. Later, the folk centennial festival originated from the mourning ceremony.
Jeikiy
There is a process of place name change from Zhantian to Zhantian. Jiajing Kangxi dictionary records that there are six, eight and eight villages in Shexian county, including Jiutiantian, Shimen and Huangdun.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were Shimen and Zhantian. Twenty-five cities, occupying the sky becomes occupying the sky.
There are Shimen Village in Qingganlong, 19, 25 and 6 villages, and a new Chakou Village is added instead of Zhantian Village.
Twenty-five villages in Daoguang, Qing Dynasty, Figure 6 and Figure 44, add Zhantian village, and Zhantian becomes Zhantian;
By the time of the Republic of China, there were six villages on the 25th, as shown in Figure 40, including Shimen, Zhantian, Nanxi-Southwest and Huangdun. Added villages such as Shitan, Qiao Ting, Chengtian and Chakou.
By 2005, Zhangtian Village was established in Wangcun Town and Shimen Village was established in Shimen Township. Before liberation, Zhangtian Village and Shimen Village in the twenty-fifth capital belonged to two towns, which have been preserved to this day. Chakou village has gone to other villages, and there are still some on the map.
Therefore, Zhantian, Zhantian, Zhantian, Chakou and Shimen are all within the scope of the 25th capital of the Ming Dynasty, which are related to the burial place of Zhu Sheng recorded in local chronicles.
Why is there an ancient tomb in Yancheng, Zhu Sheng?
Now, the problem has been basically clarified. After Zhu Sheng entered the customs, his tomb was first moved to Zhantian, now Zhangtian Village, Wangcun Town, Shexian County.
After Zhu Sheng's death, Jeikiy worked in Kyoto. In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, he was involved in the case of Guo Huan, assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance, and died in prison. This year, he was only 46 years old.
I thought that after his death in Jeikiy, his children would leave Shimen and flee their hometown, perhaps to Yancheng. However, after reading Van Lai's article, I think this is not the case.
Fan Lai, namely Fan Xiyang, Xiuning, Wanli Jinshi, was appointed as the right ambassador of Zhejiang and transferred to the left ambassador of Fujian.
Forty-four years after Wanli's death, 79-year-old Fan Laicheng went down to Shimen and met Zhu Shixin, Zhu and Zhu, the descendants of Zhu. Because of the exhibition, I worship the teacher's portrait. read
This information is too precious. According to the chronology, Zhu Shixin and others are about the thirteenth grandchildren of Zhu Sheng, and they still live in Shimen, religiously sticking to their ancestors and preserving Zhu Sheng's portraits and relics. Even the plaque inscribed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the first month of plum blossom is still as good as new.
According to the records of cultural relics unearthed in Yancheng, as early as the seventeenth year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, the seventh grandson Zhu was buried in Yancheng. This shows that some descendants of Zhu Sheng have left Shimen to make a living.
After combing, we can draw a preliminary conclusion:
1. Jeikiy got married on 18. When Zhu Sheng was alive, he had a grandson. Jeikiy's unjust case involves corruption, not rebellion, so it won't hurt descendants like Jiuzu and Li Shanchang. Therefore, the descendants of Jeikiy still live safely in Shimen.
Although Zhu Sheng passed away many years ago, his glory will last forever. Officials and scholars of past dynasties have come to Shimen to worship, and there are many such eulogies in Huizhou government records. For example, in the fourth year of Hongwu, General Wang was in charge of Xu in the town, came to Xin 'an to welcome everyone, and stayed in Shimen at night to pay homage to Zhu Gongzhi, the former Hanlin. In the fourth year of Wu, his favorite student Huang's younger brother was called Quan. In the thirteenth year, Hanlin wrote that Tang Gao also came to pay homage and left a memorial service. Until the forty-fourth year of Wanli, after the death of Zhu Sheng Fan Li, Fujian Zuobuzheng Fan Li still came to Shimen to offer condolences. This shows that people have never stopped thinking about Zhu Sheng. However, some descendants of Zhu Sheng still insist on their ancestors and old houses for people to mourn.
As time goes by, there are more and more descendants of Jeikiy, so it is difficult to support so many people in that small tea mountain in Putian. Zhu's descendants either left the mountain, or studied to be an official, or made a living in business.
Zhu Zushang probably went out to make a living in Chenghua and settled in Yancheng to do business, becoming the first Huizhou salt merchants. My wife went to the East China Sea, moved to Xu Yuxi, and built a house in Nanlonggang. This genealogy should be the ancestor of Zhu's activity track, but it is definitely not. Because the old and sick Zhu Sheng couple couldn't stand the test, they didn't win. T abandon your ancestors and descendants in your hometown to save your life. When Zhu's ancestors left Shimen, they may have taken some relics, such as clothes and hats, as a souvenir. When they arrived in a foreign country, they buried these clothes under the monument in Zhu Sheng as a souvenir. In order to pay homage to the younger generation in Qingming and other festivals.
The cenotaph is a common and important memorial way in ancient times, which started from the Yellow Emperor. Shang said that he heard that the Yellow Emperor was not dead and was buried. Why? Or: the Yellow Emperor sent immortals to heaven, and the minister's burial clothes were recorded with monuments.
Yang Guifei's tomb is in Chang 'an, and Shi Kefa's crown tomb is in Anshi. Yang Jing, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yat-sen and many other famous people have their crowns. Mei Yun, an ancient hero of Qimen, was buried in Qimen and Meigang, yugan county, Jiangxi. There are records of tombs in both places. There is a saying that Mei's body is buried in Meigang, and her tomb is in Wufa Temple in the southern suburbs of Qimen County. Even the map of Shexian county supports this statement.
One thing is certain, Zhu Sheng died in Shimen, Huizhou, and his body was buried in Zhantian.
As for the Yancheng Tomb, if there is such a thing, it can only be a cenotaph, but it can also be said to be a fake tomb.
Monuments are also sacred places for future generations to pay homage to. We thank the people of Yancheng for commemorating Zhu Sheng.
