Xiazai village, Emeiling
There is a small village under Mount Emei in Yuncheng Basin. A grotesque cypress tree stands abruptly in the courtyard south of the village. The cypress branches on Nanyuan are soft and long, or stretch or bend, or straight or bend, like phoenix dancing for nine days, called phoenix-tailed cypress. The branches of cypress trees in Beiyuan are vigorous, reaching into the sky, soaring like dragons, and descending like gods, so they are called Shenbai trees. Sushui River flows quietly not far from the village. Located in such a land surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side, it is the famous Prime Minister Village-Wenxi Peibai Village.
Standing on the Universiade Highway, you can see the inscription "The Second Pei in the World" and "Prime Minister Village" from a distance. Peibei Garden is built in the north of the village according to the tableland. There are 59 levels, which means that there are 59 Premier Pei in history. In the gate of the Monument Garden, huge stone statues of Shi Pei's five ancestors stand in the south, with Shi Pei's ancestor Pei Ling in the middle and his four sons Pei Ji, Pei Hui, Pei Wan and Pei Qian on both sides. Zuling is the grandson of Zhou Feizi VI, and his sons Pei Ji, Pei Hui and Pei Wan are the ancestors of Pei's eastern relatives, western relatives and Chinese relatives respectively. East as soon as possible in Yan, middle as soon as possible in Hedong, west as soon as possible in Beijing and Xiliang, and later in Ximapei, south to other places. However, no matter where the Pei family is, the origin of his lineage is determined by the Pei family in Peibai Village, so there is a saying that there is no such thing as a Pei family in the world.
Pei's family originated in Zhou and Qin Dynasties, stood out in Wei and Jin Dynasties, flourished in Sui and Tang Dynasties and lasted until Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to the statistics of Pei's genealogy, besides 59 prime ministers, there were 59 generals in Pei's history, including Zhongshu 14 assistant minister, 55 ministers, 44 assistant ministers, 1 1 constant servant,1suggestion, 265438+.
Pei's family is a famous family in the history of China, which runs through all aspects of feudal history, such as politics, economy, culture, military affairs, diplomacy, geography and so on, and has a great influence on the history of China. To study the history of China, we must study Pei's family. If Confucius and Mencius founded and developed Confucianism in theory, then Pei pushed Confucianism to perfection in practice. Pei Zunwen's devotion to martial arts is to safeguard the feudal imperial rule and the interests of the landlord class. He has been proud of this for thousands of years and is a model of "cultivating oneself, governing the country and leveling the world" advocated by Confucianism. There are 104 articles in the Pei Family Rules, which clearly stipulates that "those who wear cloth are not allowed to enter the ancestral graves", which proves that this statement is true.
Pei's thousand-year fame in history has not stopped an unprecedented storm. Pei's Ancestral Hall (also known as Ancestral Hall) was built in the third year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 629). Magnificent and magnificent, it has been rebuilt in all dynasties. At present, there are only architectural relics such as the front hall, the back hall and the Zhuangyuan Square. Pei's stele gallery is almost an encyclopedia of China's calligraphy and stone carving. There are dozens of ancient monuments, which are of great value in history and calligraphy. The famous ones are Peihong Monument (carved in the third year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, namely 568 AD), Peijingmin Monument (written by historian Li Baiyao and calligrapher Yin Lingming in the early Tang Dynasty) and Peiguangting Tombstone (written by Zhang Jiuling and Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty). These precious stone tablets have suffered disasters after thousands of years of circulation, and it is really regrettable that only the Pinghuai West Monument exists. Fortunately, Pei Furen, the grandson of the seventy-sixth generation of Pei family and the patriarch at that time, risked his life to wrap all six volumes of Pei's Genealogy in oil paper and secretly hide them in the tree hole of the big pagoda tree in the village, so that the most valuable written materials studied by Pei were spared and preserved intact.
Pei's genealogy is no different from history books. Pei has frequently occupied the position of prime minister and served as a general in history. There are many talented princes and princes, and there are deep ideological and cultural connotations behind them. Pei's frequent appearance as a scholar, a great thinker and an upright person is the result of Pei's admiration of Confucius and Mencius, and also the foundation of Pei's long family history.
Mount Emei has a treasure trove of ancient feelings. The past honor and disgrace of Prime Minister Village has long been lost in the dust of years. Only the ruins of Pei's ancestral hall and the scattered monuments of Pei's cemetery are still telling the glory of the past with a weak voice. ■
