Wise! Duke Zhuang, with far-sightedness and foresight, saw the opportunity and took the initiative to pacify the rebels internally and expand the frontier externally, making the state rich and the army strong, and the four neighbors obedient to him.

My Zheng compatriots have gone through wars and calamities, leaving their homeland, dispersing within the country, or migrating to foreign lands, taking root and multiplying, all of whom have been able to honor their ancestors' virtues and expand their family's lintel, but no matter how poor they may be, the "Xingyang Hall" plaque hangs high in the air, making all of them proud of the Zhengs, and "Xingyang Diffraction" is a symbol of their dreams. The "Xingyang Derivation School" is a symbol of the family's dream. The ancient city of Jingxiang has long experienced the wind and rain, and the strong Guangwuling Mountain is still a reminder of Mr. Wugong. The river flows long, and the roots of the ancestral land are connected to the four seas; the vast field is boundless, and the fathers and mothers are always in love with their sons.
