Saying that Zhang Lijia Wuchang

By 2020, Zhang's house has experienced 500 years of wind and rain.

This world is always worth remembering; Those years will never be forgotten.

The ancestral home of each branch of Zhang's West Mansion in clear lake-Zhang Lijiazhaitian is located in the west of Banqiao Lake in Huarong County, Hunan Province, northeast of Shengfengling, and only four or five miles south of Zhutou Mountain, the birthplace of Zhang's clear lake Club. The "Huarong East" exit of expressway in Hangruili, which was opened to traffic in recent years, is only a few hundred meters to the north.

Zhaitian was publicly created by the seven ancestors Liang and the eight ancestors Huashan in Qinghutang.

Mr Huashan is ashamed to mention his name. According to Zhou County Records, Mr. Wang inherited his family background and studied diligently. "He failed to make up for his disciples, and both he and his cousin are well-known erudite", and "even his filial piety was heard in the village." In the Ming Dynasty, during the reign of Zheng Deding Mao (AD 1507), two brothers went to Huguang Township to take the exam. Ying Su Gong won the 28th place as a juror; Huashan Gong was initially proposed as the first juror by the marking officer and argued for it, which led to the examiner's rebellious mentality and eventually refused to be admitted. After all these unwarranted twists and turns, Huashan Gong thought that there was no way to be an official, and he was furious and absolutely unwilling to take the exam. "It is a matter of studying Luo Guan and Fujian behind closed doors, astronomical ephemeris and foreign languages. Send love to mountains and rivers, recite poems and make fu; For Wen, he made a famous saying. He is the author of "Smoke Wave Slang Collection". "

Mr. Huashan's father, Liang Chengong, was born in Jingtai in March of the Ming Dynasty. 1454. He was good at reading and studying, passed the college entrance examination and became a scholar, and later became a tribute student. In middle age, he was appointed as an official of Guang 'an Prefecture by the imperial court. During the period of 15 18 between Ming Dynasty and Wuzong, Gong was old and planned to retire to his hometown. So the most filial Mr. Huashan wants to build a better residence so that "old cadres" can enjoy their old age.

At that time, the wilderness was continuous and sparsely populated Building a house, repairing a house, materials, manpower, etc. all have to pay real money. And the land only needs to spend some time and insight, then report to the government and get the title deed.

Mr. Huashan is different from ordinary villagers. He doesn't just want to build a cottage farmhouse. Since there are a lot of plots to choose from, you must take different views, spend different efforts and find different floors.

I don't know how many legs and feet I have worked and how many scenery I have seen. Finally, Mr. Wang took a fancy to a hill four or five miles north of his hometown Baizhuqi.

After reporting to the government for permission, we stepped up the selection of auspicious locations and started to work, and a new house was built soon.

A.D. 1520.

(2)

The newly built house is located on a platform of nearly 20 mu, with its back facing the hillside and its front facing the ridge. It is not afraid of floods or droughts.

Southeast of the platform is a relatively open valley, which is newly reclaimed as a field, mainly planting rice. In spring and summer, in the cage of young crops, Qiu Lai rice waves turn over gold, which is the source of food and clothing. The left and right compartments in the valley are carved with rectangular ponds, named "Lotus Weir", which gather the slurry of irrigation, hold the lotus show and overflow the light of the sun and the moon.

The northeast and west of the house are surrounded by a hill. If you look down from the air, this hill looks like a person's left hand on the ground. Moreover, the house is located in Hegu point (commonly known as Hukou point) on the "left hand". After the completion of Zhaitian, people inherited the hobby of Zhang's third ancestor, Song, who lived in seclusion in Qinghu Lake, and cultivated many pine trees all over the mountain. Later, the pine saplings grew strong and straight, standing shoulder to shoulder, and became a forest. Looking from a distance, I saw the castle peak is different and the bun is beautiful; Near, I often hear the ups and downs of pines and the melodious songs of birds ... For generations, it has been regarded as an attractive and livable resort.

Later, people appreciated Mr. Huashan more and more: he chose the site and had a unique vision; As for building houses for afforestation, it is even more ingenious! Judging from the terrain and potential, it can be said that the back hill is reliable, the front water shines, the left is Qinglong, and the right is white tiger. It's a rare good feng shui. From a comfortable point of view, it is the benefits of farming and harvesting in the grange, the shade protection of the mountain forest and the irrigation and washing of the weir pond, all of which are prepared one by one, and many conditions complement each other. In a word, this homestead is really the most ideal place in the era of agricultural civilization to have plenty of food and clothing, respect the old and love the young.

At that time, Huashan Palace gave birth to two sons, Zhu Xuan and Qiu Nan. They grew up and got married in a newly-built house, and gave birth to more than a dozen children, including six boys.

Because of the constant marriage, the original house was not enough to live in, so it was rebuilt and expanded during 1560.

By AD 1590, Mr. Juezi, the second son of Huashan Gong, was admitted to the imperial examination and became a Beijing official, with meritorious service in supervising the army. Three generations of his family were granted by the imperial court. In order to meet the imperial edict of the capital, the courtyard of the old house was completely rebuilt and expanded around 1602.

Since then, the whole house has formed a relatively grand and complete pattern: the building faces south, with blue tile brick walls, five main rooms and two entrances, plus east and west wing rooms and enclosed houses, separated by three wide patios. At that time, it was one of the big houses in the county, and it was called "Zhangjiawu Field".

There are more than 30 houses in the mansion. Most of them are single-story bungalows with suspended floors, that is, wooden beams and floors are added in the room to form shelves, which can be used for living or storing things. The main room is divided into front and back parts, each with five parallel rooms. In the middle is a two-story hall with wide beam height and connected by an open rectangular patio, which is well lit and ventilated. In spring and summer, there are purple swallows coming and going in the hall, or dancing around the beam, or whispering in the nest, which attracts children to echo and play with joy; In autumn and winter, there are smiling faces in the sunset walking in the courtyard, bright and gentle, accompanying the elderly to enjoy reading and drinking tea.

16 1 1 year, Mr. Sun Yinghu, the seventh son of Huashan Gong, got married and married the granddaughter of Li Taipu Gong, the only top scholar in Yuezhou history. Rich Li sent his family to serve with him. So Zhang Jiate built five bungalows on the west bank of the mansion for the Li family to live in. Since then, the descendants of the Li family have lived for generations and have been renamed as "Zhangfutian"; The nearby places, including the grange, are collectively called "Zhang Lijia Courtyard".

Later, when the number of people in the housing market continued to increase and the house was not enough to live in, adult young people moved out and settled in other places.

Most of the time, the eldest brother moved to other places, and the youngest brother stayed to inherit the ancestral home grange.

/kloc-In the early 1940s, China suffered a chaotic and tragic "Shen Jiazhi Change". Li Zicheng People's Army captured Peking and Zhu Ming Dynasty was overthrown. Then Wu Sangui, an old general of the Ming Dynasty, led the Qing soldiers into the customs and swept the Central Plains. Previously, a peasant army captured Huarong and other places in Yuezhou in the spring of 1643, killing squires, rich families and local officials from time to time. At that time, Mr. Yinghu, who was the secretariat of Nantai, returned to Zhangjia to take care of the family affairs. When the leader of the peasant army knew about it, he wanted to use his fame to gain prestige and specially recruited him to join the team. Reflect the lake, deal with the world, and send away the army head. After dark, the whole family fled to the depths of Dongting Lake by boat. Later, when the army leaders couldn't find anyone, they set fire to the house. Fortunately, it was rainy season, and the fire was quickly put out by rain.

When the world returns to stability, so does the family. Zhang's house helped God put out the fire, survived, and restored the old atmosphere through some transformation.

Over the next 300 years, the house has kept its original features well, whether in prosperous times or troubled times, whether relatives gather and disperse or generations change.

During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the 20th century, Huarong and other places were occupied by Japanese invaders. The towering giant pine planted by Zhang Sanzu when he lived in seclusion in the Green Lake was cut down by the monster because it was close to the waterway and drifted far east. But a few miles away, the pine forest behind the Zhang family survived.

Until the age of 1950, although the buildings in the housing field have been scarred by years, the overall style is still the same as that of that year. On the one hand, the landscape and forest fields are still lush and beautiful, full of vitality, quiet and pleasant, and detached.

In the middle and late 20th century, large-scale mass movements broke out one after another, and the whole country broke down old buildings and established new ones, "vowing to rearrange mountains and rivers". While completing many feats and building some beneficial projects, it has also brought unprecedented damage to precious cultural relics and the natural environment. Huarong had to keep up with the situation, from green mountains and green waters to important cultural relics to general facilities, most of them were destroyed. Zhang's buildings were gradually demolished and were all destroyed around 1970.

The pine forest guarding the house yard has a more tortuous fate. At the time of all-round deforestation, firewood cutting and steelmaking, the historical old forest that has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain has already been covered with towering giant pines and more than one plant embracing each other. For these precious ancient trees, people at that time wanted to cut them down as firewood and throw them into earth blast furnaces, which could not produce steel. Fortunately, the mother of the veteran of the house and commander Shu Zhi, the founding general of the Republic of China, still lives here. Liu Taijun, a brave and tenacious mother like a general, is sitting under a forest tree with a weak body, claiming that she is willing to live and die with her ancestors. After years of stalemate, the ancient tree escaped by luck. Since then, in the "latest and most beautiful picture" where there are almost no mountains and monks in the north and south of the Yangtze River, this giant pine forest with only one fruit is particularly conspicuous and stands out from the crowd. A few miles away, you can see clouds, crowns and Xia Ling, which has become an extremely rare landmark in the south.

The sad and helpless old lady drove a crane westward in the late summer of 1978, losing the last guardian of the house yard and ancient trees. That beautiful forest is gradually being cut down.

Today, on the former site of Zhaitian, only the brick house rebuilt by Li's former residence is left. The ancient trees in Songshan have turned into bamboo forests.

Zhang's clear lake Xidafang, whose ancestor is Gong, has been passed down for about 20 generations after a history of 500 years, and many branches and countless people have been born. Most of them have spread to other places, and a few remain in Zhanglijia area.

This big family is prosperous, with generations of handsome men and contributions. Historically, officials and local sages in clear lake once praised Zhang's family: "Since Zhang became a public official, he has been diligent in studying and has become a family, and his successors are full of beds"; "The flat broadcast is like Zhong Cheng, and the court is like the suggestion ... Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the six hundred years, there were many families of officials and representatives. How prosperous! " All the suggestions, articles of association and sincerity he said came from Zhang's family. What people praise most is the so-called "two scholars at a time, nine letters patent in two dynasties". In contemporary times, the Republic of China also has "three generations and three generals".

"Ershi" is the tenth ancestor of the Zhang family in clear lake and the eleventh ancestor of Yinghu Lake.

Ming Shenzong Wanli Renchen (1592) felt that his name was taboo. He was a scholar in the imperial examination, ranking first, and was promoted to Shanxi Inspector Xian. Because of his military service, he was awarded the imperial capital (commonly known as Dazhong Cheng), promoted to Shaanxi provincial judge, and appointed the governor to be appointed. Subsequently, he was suspended twice to go home as a mother, and his father was in mourning. 6. He went to the governor after becoming an official (retired) and died at home soon. The imperial court built the "Zhong Xun Temple" for special sacrifices, and at the same time offered sacrifices to the Zhong Xun Temple in Guizhou.

Ying Tiger, whose real name is Xi Kui, was the first scholar in Chongzhen JOE (1634) in Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Nanjing Magistrate, who also served as Longxi and Haicheng. One man is in charge of three counties, honest and diligent, and his political voice is remarkable. The emperor specially summoned him and promoted him to the Southern Taiwan Province Empire. Unfortunately, he soon suffered a "change of Shen Jia" and took a boat back to his hometown to take refuge with his family. He got sick on the way and died soon.

"Nine Letters Patent" refers to the fact that many members of the Zhang Li family were granted by the imperial court in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Mainly: Jue Zigong's father and grandfather received official seals and official gifts from Dr. Chiayi respectively, and his grandmother, mother and wife received official seals of four official titles respectively; Mr. Shouyi, the third ancestor, Mr. Kazuo Ruozhong, the tenth ancestor, and Mrs. Lee Tae of Yinghu are equal. , all got four to seven titles from scattered officials; Another 20 people were revered by the imperial court or worshipped by rural sages.

"Three generations and three generals" refer to the three generals of China People's Liberation Army.

The first generation: the 21st ancestor of clear lake Tang, a native of China, was the founding major general Shu Zhigong (1915.4-2001.12). The general's name is Shu Zhi and he was born in Zhang's family. At the age of fourteen, the Red Army team led by the * * * production party experienced the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the 25,000-mile Long March, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and suffered dozens of injuries. From a soldier and a squad leader to a senior commander of the people's army. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he served as deputy commander of the army, commander of the provincial military region, deputy commander of the military region, secretary of the Secretariat of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, deputy to the National People's Congress, deputy to the ninth and tenth national congresses of the China Communist Party, alternate member of the ninth Central Committee and member of the tenth Central Committee.

The second generation: the 22nd generation grandson of Qinghutang, the People's Liberation Army, and the eldest son of Shu Zhigong, Zhan Nangong (1948-). He graduated from the Military Academy at the age of 20 and joined the PLA Navy. He has served as a sailor, vice captain, captain, director of the naval academy, commander of the North Sea Fleet, deputy commander of the PLA Navy, and member of the Overseas Chinese Committee of the National People's Congress.

The third generation: the twenty-third generation grandson of the People's Liberation Army (1934-) Qinghutang and Lieutenant General Xuegong.

The Zhang family in clear lake moved from Gong to Hunan, and in more than 700 years, it developed into hundreds of thousands of people with 19 families and 10 rooms. In this big family, the Zhang family has the longest survival time and the largest number of religious branches.

The social environment and natural resources are basically the same, but the development of families and clans is quite different, mainly due to ideological and cultural factors such as people, family style and family training.

Throughout the Zhang Li family, generations have not only inherited the spirit of Gong Geng, the virtue of filial piety, the wisdom of seeking holiness, and the practice of forbearance, but also formed a unique "seclusion and moral integrity", "the wind of bamboo porch" and "the virtue of aunt and daughter-in-law". No matter whether the society is stable or turbulent, whether the family is well-off or in trouble, most children insist on Tian She's accompanying poems, combining farming with reading, being both civil and military, and having both ability and political integrity. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a trend. A specific family style and cultural atmosphere, which is timely in the heart, in line with the road, seemingly visible, seemingly invisible, seemingly unspeakable, plays a powerful role in edifying, guiding and inspiring people's growth, success and others.

A good family style culture is conducive to cultivating outstanding talents. With talents, families will prosper. Culture and talent, talent and family, family and culture have formed a contradictory and complementary continuous gain cycle.

Qinghutang once had its own couplet, "Li Jiyan Shaoguan Middle School", and flat-panel broadcasting was a tribute to this honor. 9. It shows its own family style and cultural characteristics-Shao inherited the academic achievements such as the origin and creation of Guan Xue by Zu Zi Hou Gong, and the family style and wisdom represented by Zi Gong, and achieved the military meritorious service of "flat broadcasting" by civil servants. Among them, "flat broadcast" refers to the historical sites that feel self-disclosure.

Zhang's house is unforgettable and evocative, not only because of its beautiful forests, vast houses and prosperous people, but also because of its vitality and profound spiritual and cultural traditions. Visible landscapes such as architecture and mountains and rivers may rise and fall with the tide of the times, but the family style culture that can be felt but seemingly invisible is enough to cross time and space, transcend the times and exert its influence constantly and tenaciously.

Bearing in mind this 500-year history, it is important to explore its experience, carry forward its spirit, inspire itself, guide future generations, seize the rare opportunity of national prosperity, cultivate more talents for the family and the country, and make more and greater contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Zhangjiatian cultural tradition should glow with new brilliance in the new era!
