Traces of Ma Shiying's hometown

The Annals of Guizhou compiled during the Republic of China recorded that the tomb of Ma Yunlong (Ma Shiying's grandfather) was on the side of Guanfengtai in the south of Guiyang. The epitaph written by Guo shows that the burial place is "Riding Longshan", which may be the original name of Guanfengtai in Guiyang. In the thirty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1604), Bi Sancai, the governor of Guizhou, built a pavilion on it, and Guo Jiangting named it "Watching the Wind". 1928, a radio station was built on it, and the tombs of Ma Su and his son were still there in the Ming Dynasty. The foothills of Houguan Peak have been turned into residential areas, and its pavilions, ancient tombs and so on have all disappeared. According to Liu Jiaoshou, director of the Chinese Department of Guiyang Teachers College, "There are two scenic spots near the Guizhou Veteran Cadres Center, one is a half-day villa and the other is a tomb". "I asked Mr. Xian Weide, the descendant of Ma Shiying, but he didn't know. I only heard that his elders have been to the grave. " "Because Ma Shiying was killed by the Qing army in Fujian, it is difficult to transport his coffin to Guiyang for burial. Ma Shiying's tomb, no matter where it is in Guiyang, may be just a tomb with clothes on it. " According to the legend of Ma Shiying, for example, Ma Shiying went back to his hometown to pay homage to the ancestral grave of Guanfengtai, and "recognized his ancestors" in the mountain temple. The Ma Shiying family once lived in front of the North Gate Town God Temple in Laoguiyang, and the street was named "Yipin Square".

According to the (literature) biography of Tang (Yang), (Tingxi, Yunlong) and Wu (Huai) in Guiyang, there are "Ma ... Sun Xihao, in the twenty-third year of Kangxi (1684), the official was the magistrate" and "Dangshan" Ma Xihao sent a letter to Ding Fanfu (Guiyang House in Ming and Qing Dynasties The list of personnel for the "Guiyang House Election" includes: "Five Five Subjects in the 3rd year of Qianlong (1738), Guiyang, Ma Yue, Sun Hao, and Guanzhi County". Four years later, Ma Yue High School was a scholar in Ren Xu. After that, there were no other dignitaries in the Ma family in Guiyang, so no one went to delve into the origin of this legend. Majia Temple is now Mayan Village, Mai Jia Town, Baiyun District, Guiyang City. Records of Guiyang compiled by Daoguang in 2000 recorded: "Majiasizhai is 40 miles north of Guiyang. Formerly known as Xiazhai, Ma built the temple in the 40th year of Wanli (16 12) and renamed it Yan ","Majiamiao, behind Majiamiao Village, has the General Hall and King Kong Terrace, which was built by Ma Brothers ". According to Gu Huaizheng, an old man living in the local area, Majia Temple, also known as Majia Temple, is the ancestral temple of "Marco Lao" (known as Ma Shiying). In this stockade, only two surnames, Gu and Ma, have built ancestral halls. At that time, the Majia family was famous and powerful, so the stockade was named Majiamiao. During the Taiping Rebellion in the same year of Qing and Xian, the Taiping Army entered the village and set fire to Gu and Ma ancestral halls. Later, families with two surnames could no longer repair their ancestral halls. There are still several carved cornerstones in Majia Temple on the back hill of Zhaizi, and there are still relics visible. According to the Ma Shang family who claimed to be descendants of Marco, their ancestors used to live in Majiaqiao in Xiuwen, and Majia Temple was built by Marco, so the family moved here from Majiaqiao. In those years of counter-insurgency, the Ma family was almost wiped out. The original genealogy was stored in the ancestral hall and was destroyed when the Taiping Army set fire to it. There are many ancestral graves near the stockade, and it is impossible to tell which generation the ancestral graves belong to. There were Ma family members from Guiyang and other places who came here to visit the grave.

During the period of 1986, the state conducted a general survey of cultural relics in the Maya area, and found the inscribed Ma tombs in the "stone tombs" near Foya Cave near Majiasizhai (now Maya Village). Among them are "Wanli butyl (16 17) in the middle of spring" and "Ming patent sealed Shu Tai Mamuyue's tomb". Due to the severe weathering of the stone tablet, the name of the stone tablet is unrecognizable; A tomb named "Shu Tai Mamu □", it is impossible to determine the time and the person who erected the monument; Another Ming tombstone is more weathered, and the inscription is unrecognizable. There are some earth graves adjacent to it, which are difficult to confirm. Tombstones in the Ming Dynasty were carved with white cotton stone and a whole stone. The upper part, such as Xieding Mountain, has tile eaves and doorposts, and the surface of the tombstone is concave. The inscription is shallow, and the lower part looks like a mountainside, engraved with cirrus clouds, which is called "shrine monument" by the people. Other inscriptions are similar in size. Among the stone tombs, there are three ancient tombs with the inscription "Sacrifice Ceremony in August of Jiaqing Ding Chou Year (18 17)". One of them is "Boma Mausoleum, the great-grandfather is a brave general", and the monument is erected by "male, Zhen, great-grandson, who went to the shrine", and the inscription on the tablet is "Sheng". He died in Kangxi of Qing Dynasty on May 2, 20051day. There are two lines of fine print ("□" is illegible), the headstone is bluestone and the tombstone is white cotton stone. The other tombs are "Anren Magong Tomb" and "My nephew ascended the throne to worship". These Ming and Qing tombs have long been stolen, and some stone tablets are broken and hung upside down in front of the tombs, which is terrible. But these ancient tombs can prove the fact of marrying the Yue family in Guiyang. The title of "Shu Tai people in Ming Dynasty" was given to the mothers or grandmothers of third-level officials in Ming Dynasty. In the Ma family in Guiyang during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, only Yushi Ma could reach this level, which seems to be related to horses. The title of "General Yong-lue" may have been obtained by Ma Shiying when he invited three officials under the shadow of Nanming. Whether this tomb is the tomb of a son in Ma Shiying (according to its birth and death records, it is suspected to be the tomb of Ma Luan) remains to be verified by the genealogy of Ma Shiying in Guiyang.
