Brief introduction of Chen Weinan ancestral home

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shaxi Village (now Shaxi No.2 Village, shaxi town, Chao 'an District, Chaozhou City) was located at 0/7 km southwest of Chaozhou City, with Jinshixi in the east, Fuyang in the south and Pu Sang Mountain in the north. The whole village is high in the east and low in the west, but it is very poor. Many of them belong to "relying on fields". Although farmers work at sunrise, Japanese talents are returning and the economy is still backward.

However, there is a well-off family in the village. The owner's surname is Chen Mingying Mountain. Like other farmers, he worked hard when he was a child, but he still lacked clothes and food. Ten, but he finally got out of trouble and even saved some money. He built a "four-cent gold" mansion called "Dafudi", and a row of houses next to it were transformed into reading rooms. On the top of the door were written the words "Deep in Populus davidiana". White this, the villagers will respectfully call Chen Yingshan Green Yang Gong.

Lv Yang has three sons, the eldest son Chen Luochuan, the second son Chen Tongchuan and the youngest son Chen Dachuan. He led his three sons to plow in the dark and work at night. There is a custom in Chaoshan countryside. Every township has two leisure rooms. Every night, there are three or five groups and eight or nine piles, drinking congou tea under dim and frugal oil lamps, telling the recent experience in Shuihuli village of the Three Kingdoms, and telling jokes such as "He Ruiqi Medicine" as "Antonie Brothers Sauce" by careless people. It rains during the day, or they are too lazy to work in the fields. They often go to the leisure room to chat, but Chen and his son have no mind or time to enjoy this leisure culture. They engage in sideline business during the day, serve farmers at night and treat people kindly. Reading and writing in leisure time is quite a legacy of Confucian culture of "Zou Lu". However, although Shaxi is a remote mountain village in Haiyang Plain, it is only a dozen kilometers away from Fucheng and Shantou. It is still a seaside city. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, agriculture, handicrafts, commerce and overseas trade have gradually developed and prospered, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Chaozhou businessmen have traveled all over the country. After Shantou opened in the afternoon, commerce and trade also developed rapidly and became a lively and prosperous commercial city. The difference between Chen Yingshan and ordinary farmers is that although he lives in a remote place with inconvenient transportation, he is not satisfied with the self-sufficient closed small-scale peasant life of men and women. He dares to touch the humanistic spirit of the seashore and breathe the strong commercial atmosphere of the seashore. He thrives and saves food, so he sells the surplus agricultural products. He has money on hand, so he buys agricultural products at a low price during the harvest season, and then sells them in Fucheng and Shantou when the price is high, or waits for the giant businessman Song to buy them, so his life is affluent and his family is getting thicker.

Green Yang Gong's second son, Chen Tongchuan, had no children, while his eldest son, Chen Luochuan, adopted his third son, Chen Chunpu, Chen Weinan's father, and the three brothers lived in harmony. Their stepfather makes a living by farming and doing small business. They are kind to others and worship farming. This family has dozens of acres of land and works hard. There is a "drunken study" in the mansion. Reading and writing after farming has become a common family style. Chen Chunpu also studied in private schools for several years. Although he is a farmer, he likes to sit in school and read books. He is rigorous and unsmiling, and he is both serious and strict with children.

Chen Chunpu got married in the early years of the Republic of China and gave birth to a boy and a girl in a few years. 19 18, and his wife was pregnant again. Adding Ding to make a fortune is that rural farmers bury their lifelong dreams in the depths of Populus davidiana, and new Ding will grow in the depths of Populus davidiana. The Chen family is beaming up and down. 19 19 noon, 2 doors, 18 (the 18th day of the first month), another baby boy was born in the depths of Qingyang, and Chen Chunpu named him Hongzhi. Later, Mr. Chen took this word and changed his name to Wei Nan after arriving in Hong Kong.

In just a few decades, there have been dozens of descendants of Green Yang Gong. With the increase of population, the cost of Qingyang family has also increased greatly. Since the death of Lvyang, the wealth of Lvyang family has not developed or even declined, but its honest and hardworking family style has continued to be passed on and carried forward.
