Yimenchen is a large family of more than 3,900 people, with clan as the gathering, blood as the axis, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness as the foundation, and diligent study. A family commune, people eat the same pot, work together and own public property. Established a "selfless" management system, "selfless wealth is in the room, there is no other food in the kitchen", and every food must be in the public hall, and minors are not allowed to sit down. Presenting the grand occasion of "800 Niu Geng sun and moon, 3,000 lamps reading articles". It is a spectacle of cohabitation, and it is known as the best in the world. It's for Yimen Kerwin Chen.
Yimenchen is an ideal social system of feudal literati, a microcosm of feelings of home and country, a social model of home and country structure advocated by feudal society, a symbol of history and culture, and a family wonder in the world.
Yimen Chen family, a large family, prosperous population, more than 3 thousand people living together, beating drums and passing meals, all dogs in the same slot, 20 miles, one city, unexpectedly, built a joint. Farming and reading are handed down from family to family. During the day, 800 cows plow the fields on the ridges, and at night, 3000 lamps study in the school. More than 300 farms, more than 3900 people eat. Its oil, salt, rice, sauce, vinegar, tea, eating and drinking Lazar, weddings and funerals, the world, officials in and out of the yamen, seeing off, have rules, a special division of labor, and specialized personnel are responsible. Just like a self-contained rural society. Come to think of it, this big family, like a highly civilized farming society, is an ancient utopia in China, more than 600 years before the thought of British thinker Moore.
Nowadays, we have entered the network era, with the development of the times, the renewal of ideas and the progress of society, but people's traditional moral values of loyalty, filial piety and kindness have actually declined. Not to mention that 3900 people live together, it is difficult to serve 39 people. People's ecology, mentality, love and hate are different from the past. No wonder some people lament that "people are not old"!
Yimen Chen is not only prominent in family, but also talented people, including 403 juren and 58 Jinshi. There are 29 officials in Beijing and more local officials. There are three prime ministers (Chen Shu, Chen Yaomao and Chen Yaozuo), two champions (Chen Yaomao and Chen Yaozi), and a list of three champions, eight dragons, nine gifted scholars and five horses. In just four years (1044), more than 300 Chen people took the imperial examination. It was with the support of these literati that Yimen Chen developed and expanded this big family.
There is a praise: nine times out of ten, Mo Daoliang got together and four-thirds watched the dragon jump.
Song? College student Chen Ce said:
Eight dragons were promoted to the first place in Jinshi, wearing tassels and symbols, emphasizing secret supervision and ambition;
Nine gifted scholars are eclectic in macro-themes, and their words are gorgeous, just like the legacy of their works.
Song? The resident doctor Chen Xilian said:
Five horses worship the wind of Gao Shi, which is famous for its fragrance;
After the Eight Dragons chose Qiu, Shibu gathered stars.
Song? Anti-gold hero Yue Feilian said:
Thousands of colorful flags greet five horses;
Three on the yellow list.
Such a distinguished family, with court officials and local officials in power, 3,000 scholars at home and 800 cows in the field, is a miracle of agricultural civilization in feudal society, and naturally it is the best in the world.
In modern times, Yimen Chenren also emerged in large numbers. It is understood that China * * * famous figures Chen Duxiu, Chen Yun, Chen Yi, Chen Geng, Kuomintang elders Chen Lifu, Chen and Kuomintang generals Chen Cheng, as well as famous literati such as Chen Baozhen and Chen Yinque, are all descendants of the tribe analyzed by Jiangzhou Yimen Chen.
There are internal and external causes for the formation of righteous ministers. There are three internal factors: first, elite management, the ability to be masters of the country, and appointing people on their merits. One of the important reasons why Yi Menchen has gone through hundreds of years is that his parents have both ability and political integrity, and they are honest and upright. Elected parents, regardless of age, regardless of seniority, do not inherit superiors. Only those who have both ability and political integrity, selfless and noble character, love respecting the old and caring for the young, have the spirit of sacrifice to safeguard family interests, and have the ability to coordinate the relationship between the government and the people can be the masters of the country.
The Yimen Family Law clearly stipulates that people in power in the family, regardless of their age, should "choose people who are resolute, honest and talented in business."
Parents push, so it is possible to ban, unite as one, take fame outside, and build industry inside, which is the foundation of family prosperity. Chen Qing was the first parent in 849 AD, and Chen Tai was the last parent in 1063 AD, *** 14 years. In the 226-year history of running a family, he left a good reputation of "achievements in China, fame in the future". Chen Tai was in charge of the family for 4 1 year, and Chen Liangzan, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty, praised Chen Tai: the head of the family, dedicated to every machine; Strategizing and managing freely; Greet horses and chariots every day and write poems at night; Go down in history and make a name for yourself.
Second, democracy, which is the core of unity and harmony between Yimen and Chen. What parents push is actually democratic election and democratic management. A harmonious home with food in its mouth is called "harmony"; Anyone who can talk is called "He".
Relating to the mouth, whose function is to eat and speak. If you have food to eat, you have to talk and express your opinions and make suggestions. Why is it not harmonious? If you keep silent, this family will surely decline. Yimen Chen knows this well, and only in this way can there be a harmonious home, home and everything. This is the case at home, and so is the country.
The democracy of Yimen officials is not only reflected in politics, but also in economy. Family property * * * has, family selfless wealth, * * * with each passing day, evenly distributed. All men are equal. Formed a kind of "the coat in front of the hall has no owner, and the three-year-old child does not know his mother. The husband doesn't listen to his wife, and the tiller doesn't know how to live in harmony. The room is selfless, the kitchen is the same, the size is known, the inside and outside are consistent, and the mellow and kind family style edifies every family.
Lv Duan, Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, visited Yimen in 988, visited Dongjia Academy, surveyed wonders and wrote poems happily. The poem says:
800 Niu Geng sun and moon, 3,000 lamps to read articles.
Watch the fish change at the bottom of Yongqing pond and listen to the warbler on Dongjiagang.
Third, family laws and institutions are used to regulate behavior. The Yimen Chen family has strict family laws, family rules, family training and strict management system, and parents who strictly enforce the law. Therefore, the Yimen family has no idlers, gamblers and thieves, and there is no flow of self-interest. For prostitution, gambling, theft, alcoholism, fighting and other bad behaviors, depending on the seriousness of the case, heavy sentences will be imposed. Through flogging, serious people are "more guilty than punished" and even put into family prison. "The family grasps the three-foot method, and the official saves five punishments." Because of strict law enforcement and law-abiding people, Yimen Chen said that "people have nothing to say, disputes are rare" and "three people have served a hundred years".
Yimen Chen family law stipulates monogamy, and servants are not allowed to take concubines. Men marry women, get married and start a family, stipulate the required materials, standards and unified control. Daughter-in-law's gifts returned to her parents' home are uniformly distributed by her family.
According to the family law, no matter how rich or rich a new wife is, she must go to the kitchen to exercise for several months. "Cooking" and "properly arranging the hall" are not only a kind of labor exercise, but also a process of integrating into a harmonious family.
The family law also stipulates that all women under the age of 45 are called "silkworm wives" and must take part in labor. Silkworm women are in their prime, and there are many children who are nursing. In order to facilitate breastfeeding, a "nursery room" has been specially set up in the silkworm hospital, and hundreds of babies are waiting for breastfeeding in the same room. Whenever the baby is hungry and crying, no matter whether it is born or not, the silkworm mothers will let go of their breasts and take the initiative to feed. That the child is three years old and still doesn't know who his real mother is. According to the current scientific theory, children who grow up with more breast milk are particularly healthy and smart.
In the third year of Song Jingde (1006), a farm in Yunzhou (now Gao 'an, Jiangxi) was sold privately by a young man who lost power and influence, and made a profit from it. Chen Yinren passed by his own grange, and when he saw that the land property code was sold in the name of a famous family, he did not tell his parents that he was afraid that he would "betray your majesty's kindness with the example of his ancestors", so he sent personnel to trace it and begged the emperor to break it according to law. The emperor then wrote a letter to pay the hell and dealt with the matter fairly. The Family Letters of Yimen shows the position and influence of the Chen family in Yimen and the compactness of the family state structure.
There is also an important internal cause of Yimen Chen's prosperity, that is, there are many talents, including 403 Jinshi and 58 Jinshi, 29 Beijing officials, 3 prime ministers and 2 top scholars. A family's 300-year history is comparable to that of a city and a province, and the share of talents is more than that of a province. It is these literati who are supported inside and outside. The country is the pillar and the home is the master. The feelings of home and country written by an intellectual group interpreted Yimen Chen Chunqiu.
The external cause of Yimen's prosperity is the reward of the imperial court and the support of the government, which has made Yimen Chen brilliant.
"Asked who is the best in the world, Xian said that only Yimen Chen." Since Tang Xizong praised Yimen Chen for the first time, the seven imperial capitals in Tang and Song Dynasties praised Yimen Chen. There are as many as 27 kinds of inscriptions recorded in history, and there are also many tributes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The supreme ruler gave Yimen Chen the highest prestige, gave him a "really good family", and ordered him to build a royal bookstore and give him a "Jade Sound" plaque to exempt him from taxes and corvee.
In the second year of Tang Guangqi (887), Chen Chong, the third parent of Yimen Changdi, built a watchtower in front of Laozheng House, and then expanded one, two and three doors.
The first pair of couplets was sent by Tang Xizong. His couplets read:
Above nine days, books are expensive; Words of benevolence and righteousness remain fragrant through the ages. Horizontal approval: Yi Menchen.
The second couplet was presented by Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, who wrote:
There are 3,000 people living together, ranking first in the world; Living together for 500 years is unparalleled in the world. Horizontal comment: Good family.
The third couplet was sent by Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng. His couplet said:
More than 3,000 articles, five hundred years of filial piety. Horizontal approval: yiju people.
Also sent to Jiangzhou Yimen Chen's poem:
After the golden gate banquet, the moon was like silver, and Fengcheng sounded.
Asked who was the first in Jiangnan, Xian said only Yimen Chen.
Song Zhenzong's inscription:
Zhuang ranks first among the 70 states in the world, with 3,000 people traveling westward.
On Jiangzhou Yimen Chen Shi;
Jiangzhou has lived in Yimen village for a long time, and the years in the village are long.
Deep-rooted who and who, Zhu Hui and Yu Lang who walk together.
When a group praises poetry and pursues Zou Lu, it is necessary to believe in Xie Wang.
Sun Tzu knows Zunyi Fan, and there is always strong light in Shunde.
Song Renzong and topic:
The title of imperial pen kiss sucks, and the rank is all over the world
Fame should be immortal, and the prime minister's family should enjoy a happy life.
The Court and the Emperor not only demonstrated the politics of the Chen family in Yimen, but also copied the Chen family law into a book, which was recommended by court officials. Encourage courtiers to see Yimen Chen. Giving financial support, it is well known that Jian Kang played: "The Yimen Chen family is prosperous, but their children and grandchildren are often short of food." Song Taizong issued a decree to lend 2,000 pieces of millet every year. Song Renzong bought another 3,000 mu of paddy fields in the third year of Tiansheng. Tiansheng five years, after sealing Chen Gong five generations. The ancestor was Duke of Jin, the second ancestor was Duke of Yan, the third ancestor was Duke of Xu, the fourth ancestor was Duke of Wu, and the fifth ancestor was Duke of Qi.
Why did the court and emperor attach so much importance to Yimen Chen? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also the need to safeguard the ruling class. The emperors of the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty urgently needed to cultivate a group of models and models loyal to the imperial court for their own ruling interests, maintaining stability and consolidating political power. Filial piety represented by Yimen Chen is the epitome of the ideal society expected by feudal rulers. Chen is an upright man, loyal to the monarch in state affairs and filial to his parents in family affairs. He can serve his rule as an example of education, so he cited an example many times. During the Northern Song Dynasty 163, six monarchs, including Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, Zhao Yong and Evonne, gave orders many times. There is only one such honor.
It is precisely because of the above internal and external conditions that Chen Yimen conceived and wrote the idyllic poems of Chen Changsheng's enduring farming civilization.
Success is Xiao He, failure is me. The prosperity of Yimen Chen came from the support of the imperial court, and the analysis of Yimen Chen was also the will of the emperor.
In the seventh year of Jiayou, namely 1062, important officials such as Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng urged the court to analyze the Chen family in Yimen. Good words: "Take Yimen Chen as a model of feudal family, move to other places and educate the world."
In fact, Chen's purpose is to suppress Yimen. Because Yimen Chen is very powerful in the imperial court and local governments, he is afraid that its development will endanger the imperial court. This is the main reason for the analysis.
Educating the world with Yimen Chen Zhiyi and letting Yimen Chen spread Chen's family style, family law and clan rules everywhere is of course one of the purposes. In addition, the Chen family ate the same pot, which is hard to say. Because of their reputation, they have to support themselves. Sometimes there is a "lack of food" and there are days when there is not enough to eat. "Song history according to? Volume 456: "Since the Tao, I have been hungry and dry, and I have always sipped porridge and mixed it with seaweed and vegetables, and I am happy to coexist. "
We people in our 70 s should have had the experience of eating the same pot, leaving a mark of history. Yimenchen has been eating for more than 300 years, which is very hard for them. The author speculates that the children of Yimen must support the court's judgment, and there are imperial edicts to analyze and move, and the scenery is infinite, also known as the donkey under the slope, so the family is divided.
Looking back more than 900 years ago, the author's ancestors took the lead in supporting the elderly and taking care of the young, shouldering the burden and striding with heavy steps, leaving their homeland, leaving their hometown of Changle and De 'an in Taiping Township of Jiangzhou, opening a new history of Shiqiaozhuang, which gave birth to our today, just like yesterday.
In the seventh year of Jiayou, Renzong ordered officials from Jiangnan West Road to come to the door, and advised Yimen Chen to follow the twelve words given by Taizong, "Know how to keep the Sect, look at the monarch, think about it with talent, and inherit it", with fifteen generations of manor owners and thirteen elders as lang. Divided into 29 1 village according to faction size, and moved to all parts of the country by lottery, distributed in 125 counties and cities nationwide. They are all named according to the twelve characters, and the axis of Yimen House in Gezhuang is given. Yimen is divided into two axes, which is the basis for future generations to distinguish clans.
Sanyimenchen, a cultural symbol in history
Yimenchen is a cultural symbol accumulated by traditional culture, an idyllic poem cultivated by feudal literati, a Taoyuan society where China's traditional culture is practiced, a model of surname culture in patriarchal society, and a spiritual home shared by all China people.
Yimen Chen reads family heirlooms, the tiller has his home, and the scholar has his country. Farming agriculture is the main economic lifeline of a family, which maintains the normal survival of a family. But they always pay attention to the word "reading". "Ancient people had schools, state-owned villages, state-owned order and state-owned schools." Yimenchen, a big family, integrates learning, teaching, order and learning in one family. In the first year of Tang Dashun (890), Chen Chong, a righteous man in Jiangzhou, founded Dong Family School, and famous teachers visited to give lectures. "Scholars in the world have set up 20 hectares of study fields, and celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River have all left their homes." It was a famous place for collecting books, seeking knowledge and giving lectures in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Celebrities such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Qian Ruoshui, Huang Tingjian, Chen Yaosou, Yan Shu, Zhu, Yue Fei, Yang Yi, etc. He once gave lectures and visited Dongjia Academy, leaving more than 300 poems, and built a splendid treasure house of Yimen culture.
Before Dongjia College opened a private school, it benefited from the study of Tian Fu, the style of writing became more and more prosperous, celebrities gathered salt, books were given by the royal authorities, horses and chariots were dusty, scholars praised them, and poetry and songs became a landscape. Dongjia Academy is the earliest institution of higher learning and the earliest private university in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It's a business card of Yimen Chen, which Chen Yizhi keeps.
Dongjia Academy is the cultural carrier of Yimen Chen. Chen Ye is a farmer and scholar. He is busy with farming and reading in his spare time. Farming during the day and studying at night. Because of this, there is a farming atmosphere of "800 Niu Geng heads on the ridge and 3,000 lights in the school", and there are more than 300 students to take the exam every year.
A courtier, a cultural symbol, not only has a cultural carrier, but also has a cultural connotation. Chen Guren knows how to write, is polite, just and kind, friendly and harmonious, loyal and filial, and weaves the joy of righteousness.
General Yimen, Chen Wenwu, is both good at both. Martial arts at the age of 18, Jinshi and at the age of 20. Li Yanxian, a native of Wuning, joined the army under Yue Fei and mobilized six brothers to join the army together. At the age of twenty-four, he led a hundred thousand Nengba to fight against the nomads from Jiangzhou, and "defeated the nomads from Jiangzhou repeatedly". In six years, Shaoxing fought with Huanggang Nomads, and all six brothers died. In Shaoxing for ten years, Chen and Li Yanxian stuck to Jiangzhou, and eventually died in battle because they were outnumbered. He was given a "loyal and powerful king", a brave and loyal king. Temple worship.
General Yimen is loyal to the country, but his parents are still loyal. During the reign of Song Chunhua, the imperial court subsidized 2000 grains of grain every year. By the time he took over as a parent in Chen Xu, the production of Yimenchen had developed. With more than 300 granges, people's lives were improved and food was saved. Chen Xu, his parents, appealed to the imperial court and asked it to halve the grain. Chen Xu was told that if he couldn't finish it, he could resell it. Chen Xu replied, "The emperor gave me a family of several thousand people and food in the treasury. How can he forget justice for the benefit? " Please halve it, which shows Chen Yimen's kindness and writes Chen Yimen's loyalty.
Yimen Chen not only has the story of "a hundred babies to feed", but also has the beautiful talk of "a hundred dogs in the same prison". Yimen Chen Weixian, filial piety, full of righteousness. During the violet period in Tang Zhaozong, there were more than 740 people in this family. They set a big table every day and sat down to eat in turn. Over time, it affected livestock. The Chen family has a hundred dogs, so * * * eats a trough, and all dogs don't eat until one dog arrives. It turned out that there was an old dog, whose foot was turned over and his eyes were blind. He was lying on the purple gate, standing against the stars and trying his best to prevent bandits. Many dogs don't eat when old dogs don't come. According to the textual research of Song Zhaozong, Yimen Square has a hundred dog prisons, and its couplet reads:
If a dog doesn't eat it, all foreign objects in the prison are effective;
One bark caused a hundred barks, and all the people in the village were very angry. Meanwhile, they guard the gate.
Yimen Chen's cultural heritage is rich and colorful, recording the praises of many famous ministers and officials, not only from the seven emperors, but also from the six prime ministers. They are Wen Yanbo, whose poem reads:
Imperial pen title for the residual Jin Xia, Manchu official positions all over the world.
The name should be immortal, and the prime minister should leave a name in history.
Lv Mengzheng was the prime minister of Song Taizong and Zhenzong Dynasty. Its poem says:
Play Huamen Judexing, and Zhu Xia flies around Jiangcheng.
Taihe drum is smooth and beautiful, and Dashunxun steams a new scene.
Thousands of stones return to the sky, and five books pass through the box.
I only know the harmony and prosperity of that year, but I don't know that it is deeper now.
Liu Yun, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was the prime minister of Emperor Taizong. Once Chen led a group of officials to visit Yimen, and his poem said:
Xiaoyi is in the countryside, and there are many old people's cars at the door.
Collect and store thousands of hectares of millet, and store books on the first floor of the home.
Treat people to open new wine and leave monks to cook tender dishes.
Sangong is old and sick, so he has no time to go to the mountain house.
Song Qi, Northern Song Dynasty historian, Vice Premier. Sixty years' travel to Dong Gu, reciting a poem:
Fang Qun's graduation studies are flourishing, and his filial piety is more noble.
Show that other families are expensive, and the new history books are famous.
There are many people who pursue Sun's virtue and honor, and it is difficult to treat scholars without vegetables.
I think Dong Jia will reach the finish line, because the victory belongs to Cao Xian.
There are also the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous poet Yan Shu and the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zong Ze, who visited Yimenchen in person and left famous sentences, so I won't list them one by one.
Zhu, a philosopher and educator in the Southern Song Dynasty, praised the poem Yimen:
The Tang and Song Dynasties are immortal, and the filial piety of Yimen is immortal.
The article in the crown covers the source, and future generations will live forever.
Famous Song Dynasty poets Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang also wrote poems for Chen.
Yimen Chen Wenhua is a unique cultural phenomenon in the history of Chinese civilization development, which goes far beyond the category of surname culture. She explained the basic requirements of China's traditional culture and etiquette for citizens, carried the spiritual home of farming civilization, and was a beautiful historical landscape. Even today, it still shines brilliantly, which should make our unique righteous door bring forth the old and bring forth the new, and play a greater role in the integrity of Chunhua society.

Chen inherited Yu Shun, Zu Chi Man Gong, Pai Yan Ying Chuan and Yi Biao Jiangzhou in Pingjiang. Virtue is immortal, loyalty to the world, and Dexing studies heirlooms. Chen's population ranks third in Pingjiang, with more than 60,000 genealogists and 30,000 registered accounts.
(Chen Ancestral Hall in Pingjiang)
During the Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty, in 758 AD, Duke Xilie moved from Chang 'an, Shaanxi Province to Pingjiang, which was the first pulse for Chen to enter Pingjiang.

According to legend, Peng's ancestor was Duangong's nephew and went to Hunan with Duangong. The descendants of the Peng family should worship their ancestors first and then, which is a righteous act of the British public and lasts for many generations. Since then, Yimen Chen has built many sub-temples.
