From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Five Dynasties for more than 1000 years, this village has produced 59 prime ministers, 59 generals, 3 queens and 4 princesses. Other officials are too numerous to mention, and it has also become a famous prime minister village. For example, Pei Yaoqing (68 1-743), his greatest achievement was to rectify the grain transportation.
In addition, there are many academic talents in Peibai Village, such as Pei Xiu (224-27 1), the originator of legendary literature in the late Tang Dynasty, and Guo Pu (276-324), the originator of Feng Shui.
Why does a village have such a prominent family background? Folklore is mainly because it is located in Chaoyang, Jiu Feng, and secondly, Pei's cemetery is on the Phoenix wall in the east of the village. In fact, the most important thing is the Pei family's family motto: those who are unlearned and unskilled will not enter the ancestral hall.
"There is no second Pei family in the world" refers to a surname family in Shanxi, namely Hedong Pei family, which is located in Peibai Village, Li Yuanzhen, wenxi county, Yuncheng, Shanxi. The family was a noble family from Qin and Han Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties. This family has three branches, one in Yanjing and the other in Xiliang. However, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Peibai Village had 59 generals and 59 prime ministers, so it was called the first prime minister of China.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no second Pei in the world. Pei's ancestors were Qin's illegitimate children. When he arrived at the Nuo king of the Zhou Dynasty, he was named the sworn king. Later, it gradually divided into three branches: Hedong, Yanjing and Xiliang. But if we look at its origin, they are all descendants of Pei in the name of music. In the ruling and opposition circles, Hedong Shi Pei has always been a productive place of officialdom. According to statistics, from the Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the Pei family in Hedong came out with 59 prime ministers, 59 generals, 14 assistant ministers of Chinese books, 55 ministers of history and 68 scholars, of whom 68 were scholars, and more than a thousand people went down in history.
