Is there really a family in China with 12 generations of grandparents and grandchildren who have been rich for 400 years?

A family in China has flourished for 400 years, and the descendants of 12 generation are all rich. This family is the Kang family in gongyi city, Henan.

The Kang family, also known as the Kang Million Family, has gone from poverty to prosperity for hundreds of years.

Kang Million was just a joke of Cixi at that time, because when Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, Cixi and others were at the end of their tether. Kang Hongyou of the Kang family donated two 6.5438+million yuan to Cixi, and Cixi was surprised that there were millionaires in the Kang family, so Kang Million also spread.

There are many reasons for the prosperity of the Kang family. At first, the Kang family made a living by farming and operated shops as a sideline, and gradually expanded and passed on their family business. In the sixth generation of the Kang family, Kang Shaojing became an official in charge of local transportation and official salt with his own ability and intelligence, and at the same time came up with a new way to make money, starting with salt. It can be said that the rise of the Kang family began with selling salt, and then it not only won the privilege of supplying cotton cloth in the whole country, but also made a fortune and stepped into glory.

Before aspiring to the bright future, I was nothing more than studying to teach my children. After I became rich, I was nothing more than managing my family diligently. This sentence is the Kang family's way of managing the family, which means that if you want to honor your ancestors and prosper your family, you must educate your descendants. You must learn to be thrifty if you want future generations to enjoy happiness. From the sixth generation Kang Shaojing to the eighteenth generation Kang Lanting, the Kang family has flourished for 400 years. It was not until the Republic of China that Kang Million Family began to decline. Today, Kangjia has become a national tourist attraction, with only one acre of land left in Kangmanor.
