Visit the first one in Jiangnan, many scenic spots are free, and individual scenic spots need to be signed in.
When I came here, the first thing I saw was nine archways. The first archway was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Because the "Puji" held not long ago was equivalent to a performance night market, it was stopped and refused to enter, so there is no such first archway in the photo. This is the largest number of archways in China, which are "No.1 in the south of the Yangtze River", "Xiaoyi Gate", "Watching the Three Dynasties", "Orderly", "Endeavour", "Windson", "Justice", "History of Rites" and "Living with Nine". Each archway has a different story, which is the honor of the Zheng family.
Zheng Yimen has a "Jiuqu Stream", which was changed to Berlin Stream to commemorate Zheng's ancestors. Legend has it that Zheng lives in the Golden Basin. Due to the prosperity of Zheng's population, Jiuquxi was directly used to build houses. At first glance, the local geomantic celebrities said, "Broken, Nine Curves Straightened, Gold Plate Broken". When parents heard about it, they asked for remedy. Celebrities told them to build ten bridges on the stream, make up the broken golden plate, and build nine doors on the stream to make it watertight, that is, ten bridges and nine doors now. Although the gold plate was repaired, it was seriously weakened. The original 500-year cohabitation was interrupted in advance, and only his son Sun Pingan was guaranteed.
There is a towering pavilion in Linxi. The pavilion is surrounded by water and has bridges on both sides. The first floor is dedicated to the gods of Guan Jun, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, and the second floor is dedicated to the gods and heavenly generals.
Legend has it that Zheng Qi, the ancestor of cohabitation, was the most filial, and his mother was seriously ill and stayed in bed for a long time. Zheng Qi has served his mother for more than 30 years. One year, it didn't rain and the rivers dried up. Her mother was thirsty and wanted to drink spring water. Zheng Qi dug several places by the Berlin Creek, but there was not a drop of water. His heart was bitter and he cried for three days and nights. Suddenly, he saw dark clouds gathering, a loud thunder, sand and stones bursting, and a clear spring gushed out, cool and sweet, and quickly brought water to serve his mother. People think that the filial piety of political prayer touched God, so it is called "Xiaogan Spring".
This is the first and most important scenic spot in Jiangnan, Zheng's ancestral hall. You need to register. The Zheng family settled in Pujiang, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province since the Southern Song Dynasty. Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties lived together for more than 300 years. In its heyday, more than 3,000 people in the Zheng family ate "one pot of rice".
More than 600 years later, the juniper in Zheng ancestral hall still exudes the breath of youth. Many juniper trees are supported by stones, and they all form the phenomenon of "attaching to stones".
According to legend, during the Hongwu period, Zheng Lian was elected as the head of the family. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, summoned Zheng Lian, the official of the Zheng family, and sighed: "It is not easy to live in harmony with more than a thousand people of the Zheng family for a long time. How did you do it? " Zheng Lian took out the "Zheng's Code" he carried with him and presented it to the emperor. Zheng Lian carefully replied: "Follow the ancestral teachings, and the Zheng family is based on filial piety. Filial piety means that many couples, brothers, clans and neighbors love each other. " Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and rewarded Zheng Lian with two imperial pears. Zheng Lian told his people that the emperor rewarded two pears. When everyone in the clan saw that only two pears were awarded, they were worried about how to distribute them. I saw Zheng Lian had two vats brought in, filled with sweet water, and then broke the two pears and put them in the vats, so that the people in the clan could share the pear water. Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated Zheng Lian's behavior very much, so he personally wrote three characters of "filial piety and righteousness" and gave them to the Zheng family with a decree.
Perhaps because of the materials used, there are no birds, spiders, mosquitoes and flies in the temple for many years, and it is extremely cool in summer.
Dezhanggong ebony statue, ebony is the Oriental Shenmu. The fifth-generation founder of the Zheng family founded the family private school "Dongming Jingshe" in Dongming Mountain with the foresight of cultivating people for a hundred years, and later changed it to "Dongming Academy".
Zheng Qi, the ancestor of cohabitation, studied tirelessly. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Zheng Qi felt that he was dying. He called his descendants to Jia Zheng's ancestral hall and made a will: "If my descendants are unfilial, heartless and not rich, they will be punished." It was this dying entrustment that opened the story of the fifteenth Zheng family.
Thinking of the present society, it runs in the family is hard to come by. Buy a wedding room when you get married and live separately from your parents after you get married.
Lian and Song Lian were the leaders of the founding civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. At the age of 26, he took over the chair of Zheng Yimen, trained a large number of outstanding talents for Zheng Yimen, and approved many codes such as Zheng's Code and Zheng's Family Instrument. Here stands a statue of Song Lian, which expresses the descendants of Zheng, respects teachers and respects Taoism, and never forgets the grace of enlightenment, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
There are many plaques in Zheng Temple, and there are many plaques and couplets inscribed by historical celebrities such as Fan Zhongyan, Zhu, Liu Guan and Wang Xizhi and contemporary calligraphers. It can be said that calligraphy and painting are pleasing to the eye, and poetry and calligraphy are elegant and romantic.
A big clock in the Zheng ancestral hall has a clear division of labor. People in the Zheng family have to listen to the clock in their daily lives such as getting up, washing, eating and sleeping. Eating is also eaten in batches, and elders, middle-aged young people and teenagers eat separately.
In 2002, Korean scholars verified that a large family of the Zheng family in South Korea came from China, so the clan association of the Zheng family in Ruishan, South Korea specially sent personnel to visit China, and finally confirmed that Zheng Zhai was the first family in the south of the Yangtze River as the residence of his ancestors. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a branch of the Zheng family in Pujiang moved eastward to Busan, South Korea to escape the war, and has since settled and multiplied in South Korea. These descendants of Zheng have lived in Korea for more than 760 years, with more than 6.5438+0.7 million people. South Korea's Ruishan Zheng's fair descendants searched for 10 years and finally found their roots in Pujiang.
There is also a "wenjianjing" here. I looked for it, but I couldn't find it. Legend has it that the emperor fled, and with the help of Zheng people, he hid in the well and escaped.
Stories and customs about the first family in Jiangnan are endless. After the fifteenth cohabitation, the Zheng family could not live together because of a fire, and each family started a new life. Not only these scenic spots, but also Changsangong Temple and Changqigong Temple. Looking forward to your exploration and discovery.
