How many people are there on the earth? Where is Liu Yong from? Are you really a family and a hometown person with Liu Bang?

The mystery of Liu Yong's family: Where is Liu Yong from? With the great power of TV media, Liu Yong, a historical figure, has long been known to women and children. However, it is precisely because of these jokes that people have many misunderstandings about Liu Yong and his family. Many people think that Liu Yong is just a poor boy from rural Shandong. Liu Yong was born in a flat-headed family. Is it true that he has no family or background? In addition to the misunderstanding caused by TV series, some people are arguing whether Liu Yong's hometown is in Shandong or Jiangsu. So, where is Liu Yong from? Bian Xiao believes that to solve these problems, we need to talk about the origin of Liu Yong's family, which will help us clear the fog of history and explore the truth of history.

According to relevant historical records, Liu Yong's ancestors were of the same ancestry as Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yong's ancestors lived in Liucun, Dangshan County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province for generations. So, didn't Liu Yongjia become a native of Jiangsu? Actually, it's not. It can be said that Liu Yong is from Shandong. The reason is that Liu Yong's ancestors moved away long ago and moved home three times. When it comes to moving, we should start with the large-scale immigration in the early Ming Dynasty.

The large-scale migration in the early Ming Dynasty had its profound political background and natural reasons: on the one hand, the wars in Song, Jin and Jin Dynasties caused a large number of people in the north to move southward, on the other hand, a large number of people died, making the northern region barren; At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, wars continued. The first is the desperate struggle between the Ming and Yuan armies, and then the "Jingnan War" between Judy, the Prince of Yan, and Wen Jian for the throne. These wars caused a large number of people to be displaced from Yunnan and live in poverty. In addition to the mutiny, floods, droughts and locusts continued, and the two major rivers of Huanghuai broke their mouths many times, especially in the Central Plains areas such as Shandong, Henan, Hebei and northern Anhui. All this led to "floating wasteland, countless dead people, and many villages and cities became wasteland." "Food does not enter the ground, and people eat people." However, contrary to the Central Plains, Shanxi and the southern region have a large population because of chaos, favorable weather and economic prosperity. Faced with this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, decided to adopt the policy of military and civilian immigrants to reclaim wasteland, so as to strengthen the northern border defense, reclaim wasteland, ensure military and civilian food and resume agricultural production. A member of the Liu family in Liucun, Dangshan County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, moved out of Liucun under the leadership of the ancestor Liu Yong according to the government's immigration regulations. The Liu family and his party went north along the path and came to ten kilometers northwest of Jiazi Mountain, which is now the junction of Huangdun Town and Juxian County in Donggang District of Rizhao City. They saw here surrounded by mountains, gurgling streams and dense flowers and trees. There is a nest of magpies living on the towering old trees beside the spring; On the hillside, the wings are wide, and the north is high and the south is low, just like the legendary phoenix. This is a land of feng shui. Liu settled here, which was later called the "Magpie Nest".

Since then, the Liu family has taken root in Rizhao and prospered. The genealogy of the Liu family in Rizhao in the forty-eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty records this historical situation and the important events of the Liu family: "My ancestral home is Ju, with a long history. I was appointed by the Yuan Society and moved to Xuzhou. The red scarf began to get confused, and the ancestors fled to the East China Sea and became Lu Village. After moving to Hongwu for three years, his ancestors moved from the East China Sea to Rizhao Magpie Nest. This is the first time that Liu Yong's family has moved. Tomorrow, Shunnian, the Liu family will be born in Ding Risheng. However, an unexpected fire destroyed almost everything in the house. At that time, Liu's ancestors had passed away, leaving five brothers, Liu Chengyuan, Liu Jieyuan, Liu and Liu Genyuan. During the Chenghua period, faced with the contradiction between the prosperity of the family and the increasingly narrow living space, the five Liu brothers made a decision to separate, thus starting the second move of the Liu family. Here we single out Liu Siyuan, because Liu Yong is his descendant. After the Liu brothers decided to split up, the second son led the people to move to the north side of the big locust tree, one kilometer north of the magpie nest, and set up a straw shed to settle down. Later, he married Zhang in his village and gave birth to eight sons: Fu, Lu, Shou, Shi, Shu, Zhong and Cheng. This one in Liu Siyuan is booming again. As a last resort, Liu Siyuan made the decision of separation again: let his eight sons live separately and find a way out, leaving only the fourth son, Liu Xi, to accompany him in his hometown. This is the second move of the Liu family. And Liu moved to Liujiagou, Sanzhuang. Later, Liu Fu's third son, Liu Heng, moved to Fenggezhuang in Zhucheng to avoid bandits, and entrusted Liu Lu with his eldest son Liu Zhigan and his second son Liu Zhizhen. In Liu Fu, this branch is called the Liu family in Wudong, Zhucheng, and Liu Fu is the direct ancestor of Liu Yong. At this point, the Liu Yong family's three moves came to an end. There is only one son, who moved to Zhucheng, including Yi, Yi and Hu. Liu Xie has a son named Liu Sizhi; Liu Sizhi has two sons, the eldest son Liu Tong and the second son Liu Yuan. After Liu Tong got through. The above is the legendary Liu family migration history, from which we can see that Liu Yong should be from Shandong, not Jiangsu. In this land of Confucius and Mencius with the charm of Qilu, the Liuyong family also performed a legendary history of development, which left a deep impression on the history of China.

When I first arrived in Zhucheng, Liu Fu, I was helpless. After several generations of efforts, my family has become rich from poverty. In the fifth generation, that is, Liu Yong's great-grandfather Liu Tong, has been admitted to the scholar. Liu Bixian, the great-grandfather of the sixth generation of Liu Yong, was admitted as a scholar and became the foreign minister of Guangxi. He was the first senior official of Liu's foreign government. Liu Yong's grandfather Bai Liu was sent to Sichuan. Liu Yong's father, Liu Tongxun, is a college student, a military affairs minister, and the president of Sikuquanshu. Liu Yong's parents, peers and descendants are even more officials. According to the statistics when the Liu family rebuilt their genealogy in the 19th year of Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty, the whole family has won 198 people successively since the scholar in the fifth and middle schools, among which Jinshi 1 1 person won 35 people. Judging from the official position, from Sun Bixian's entry into the official position in the first year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty to the Six Dynasties in the last year of Daoguang, there were 73 officials with more than seven grades. His official positions range from magistrate, county magistrate, Taoist priest, political affairs, governor, governor, suggestion and history, to cabinet scholar and military history. In particular, in the eighth generation, Liu Tongxun, Liu Yong, Wen Qing and Gong Liu Lu Zhi, two prime ministers, three grandsons and two grandsons, made a sensation. Become a scholarly family, a noble family. Emperor Qianlong also praised the Liu family as "the high gate of Haidai". What made Liu Fu's descendants "Hyde Hall"? Bian Xiao thinks there are three reasons.

First of all, Liu Yong's ancestors surrendered to the Qing Dynasty shortly after the Qing army entered the customs, shaved their hair, changed clothes and became good citizens of the Qing Dynasty. Speaking of it, Liu Yong's ancestors really smelled of traitors. It is a shame that they betrayed their ancestors so easily. However, from another perspective, we should not be too strict with the Liu family. Judging from the situation at that time, it was a historical necessity that Manchu replaced Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was decadent, but the Manchu Dynasty was thriving and full of vitality. Moreover, after the Manchu emperors entered the Central Plains, most of them were able to make great efforts to create the last glory of the empire-"a healthy and happy prosperity". Therefore, from the perspective of people's livelihood in the world, it is also a historical progress that Manchu replaced Ming Dynasty. Because Liu Yong's ancestors knew the times and took refuge in the Qing Dynasty early, they won an opportunity for their prosperity. After all, will the Qing Dynasty give priority to "meek people" like them? However, with this alone, can the Liu family develop? No, it's just an external cause at most. The key still depends on Liu's own cultivation.

Second, Liu's descendants abide by their ancestral teachings and have a good family education, thanks to Liu Yong's great-grandfather Liu Bixian. Liu Bixian is the first scholar of the Liu family. In his later years, he set a family motto for future generations: "Be an honest official, do good deeds with virtue, do not show exaggeration, do not erect monuments, manage the family diligently, and keep the funeral simple." This has set a standard for the success of later generations, and it is also an important reason why the Liu family is clean. He attaches great importance to education. He said: "There are many ways to educate a family. Nonverbal words can tell you everything. However, those who lead by example obey, and those who teach by example tell. The best way to educate children is not to study. Learning to read means understanding, and understanding means becoming a tool, protecting your family and becoming famous. Deng Ke, nails, look at fate. However, nine times out of ten, the third generation of his family began to study; If the ancient world could not read and write, his body would rise in the field, with only one or two people out of a hundred. Therefore, as the saying goes,' Hu's books are read in the third world', that is to say, good family education has enabled Liu's descendants to establish strong self-esteem and initiative and become learned people. Liu Bixian's way of managing the family undoubtedly laid a good foundation for the career development of later generations.

The third point: Liu Yong's family also knows how to be an official. Of course, it is not that they flatter and accept bribes, but that they can satisfy the whole family on the basis of adhering to principles. The Liu family has represented several officials. They know that officialdom is sinister, and a little carelessness may lead to great disaster. They also knew that as Han officials, they were paid by Manchu emperors. Although the Qing dynasty advertised itself as a "Manchu family", in essence, the court still trusted Manchu more. Therefore, the Liu family also understands that if you want to go further and more steadily in your official career, you must be an official in addition to your personal talents, so that you can be a good official. One thing greatly stimulated Liu Yong: 1754, the court ordered Liu Tongxun to inspect the troops stationed in Barkun and Hami, Xinjiang. At that time, it coincided with the Amur Sana 'a rebellion, and the Qing army stationed in Xinjiang retreated to Barkun. On this basis, Liu Tongxun called on him to give up Barikun and retreat to Hami. Unexpectedly, it caused the wrath of Emperor Qianlong, and Liu Tongxun was immediately dismissed and sent back to Beijing. At this point, Liu Yong, who had just been promoted from editing and editing Jishi Shu in imperial academy to giving lectures in imperial academy for three years, was arrested together with all his family members, men, women and children, handed over to the punishments for strict supervision, and then waited for revenge, and all his property was confiscated. Soon after, Emperor Qianlong felt that this judgment seemed inappropriate, so he released the Liu Yong family, and Liu Tongxun and Liu Yong's father and son also regained their reputations and became officials again. A few years later, Emperor Qianlong returned the confiscated property of Liu Tongxun's family. However, this accidental injury did great harm to Liu Yong, who just entered Politi.

Through the above analysis and discussion, the previous doubts can be answered: Liu Yong is from Shandong, but he is by no means a poor boy, but a famous family. The long family history and hard struggle of the Liu family made it a "sea family". In fact, there are not a few developed families like Liu Yongjia. For the development history of these families and some outstanding family members, we should look at it objectively and think from a historical perspective. For those who study history, it is very important not to be influenced by legends, jokes and other factors, which is also a standard for Bian Xiao to study the development history of Liu Yong's family.
