? The Historical Evolution of the Chen Family

?

? According to the genealogy of Chen in the first year of Qing Daoguang (1849), there are two branches of Chen in Pujiang, one of which is Linxi branch. The ancestor Qi Fenggong (word) moved to Shu from Macheng County, Hubei Province, and later the ancestor Zhao and his son moved to Pujiang to revive Linxi River. In a county, Zushangyin (word Chunyi) was a scholar in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. He once worked as a state shepherd in Jiading (now Leshan), and his son Yu Tinggong led his family to move to Pujiang Buju Southwest Township. Today, the Chen clan has spread to the eighteenth generation, with a population of more than 20,000, mainly distributed in Pujiang, Qionglai, Mingshan, Ya 'an, Kangding and other places.

Lin Xicao and Chen in Caoxian belonged to the same family, and their descendants established ancestral halls in the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong and genealogy in the first year of Daoguang.

? The original Chen Ancestral Hall was built in Wolong Street, with a magnificent organizational system. This is a Chinese building with an entrance and three halls. It is divided into Jingting Hall, Mianjian Hall and Zutang Hall. When the ancestral temple was completed, Yang Chaoguan, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, presented a plaque "Long Yuan wins" to congratulate him. This plaque is now in Mr. Shang Chongwei's place in Qionglai. Chen later opened a private school in Chen's Ancestral Hall, and later changed it to Why Ming Primary School, which was the earliest private school and new primary school in Pu Yin and Qionglai. After liberation, Wolong Central Primary School has always taken Chen's Ancestral Hall as its school site. In the 1970s, when the middle school was expanded, the building of Chen ancestral hall was demolished, and many precious cultural relics such as plaques, bells and drums were lost. The tribe collected some skeletons and wooden components, which are now in the ancestral hall.

? From 65438 to 0999, the Chen clan raised funds to relocate the Chen ancestral hall to its current site, and used the temples and wooden components of the original ancestral hall in the ancestral hall to show that the wooden water source was not forgotten.

. ? Through the continuous cultivation and construction of the people, Chen's ancestral hall now covers an area of more than 600 square meters, with a construction area of more than 400 square meters. There is a main hall, a wing and a living room for the Chen clan to worship their ancestors, display the Chen family history and cultural relics, and carry out family education and community recreational activities.

? The humanistic value of Chen ancestral hall

? The Chen family in Linxi Trough and Xiancao Trough was once a typical aristocratic family in western sichuan bazi. Clans are mainly distributed in Fuxing Township of Pujiang County and Southwest Township of Pujiang County, with Wolong Town in Qionglai as the center. Up to now, it has developed into 18 generation with a population of more than 20,000. The Chen family attaches great importance to the inheritance of moral culture. After the restoration of 1995, the Qingming ancestor worship meeting was held for 25 consecutive sessions and did not close for one year. 1996 Clan raised funds to cultivate and repair Chen Dafen Garden of Pujiang Yuanyang Factory, 1999 moved to Chen Ancestral Hall, and rebuilt Chen's genealogy in 2004, 2065438.
