After giving an overview of Nian Gengyao, let’s briefly introduce the Nian family’s family prospects.

As for Nian Gengyao’s distant ancestor, what needs special introduction is his great-grandfather Nian Yuchun. Nian Yuchun, whose surname is Yan. His father was a military general in the Yuan Dynasty and died in the line of duty guarding Chuyang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. After his father died, Yan Yuchun fled to Huaiyuan and lived in Zhetang Village, Xujiahe, in the north of the county. In the early Ming Dynasty, during the process of reporting household registration, naturalization and settlement, due to the local accent, "Yan" was mistakenly changed into "Nian", so it was called Nian Yuchun. This is the beginning of the Nian family and the first ancestor of the Nian family in Huaiyuan, Anhui. Nianfu, the Minister of Hubu in the Ming Dynasty, came from this family.

Nian Gengyao's father, Nian Xialing, once served as Bi Tie Shi, director of the Ministry of War, doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, censor of Henan Province, minister of the Ministry of Industry, governor of Huguang; first-class duke and Taifu. (It seems that Nian Gengyao is also a second-generation official)!

Nian Gengyao’s elder brother, Changnian Xiyao, served as Minister of Industry, Minister-in-Chief of the Foreign Affairs Office, and Supervisor of Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Factory; Yao and the year of Yao are mentioned, but the historical data are unknown.

Nian Gengyao’s eldest sister Nianshi. Her husband is Hu Feng? [huī], who once worked as a weaver in Gusu. In the first month of the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign (AD 1726), he was dismissed. The imperial court ordered Zhang Kai, the governor of Jiangsu, and Gao Bin, the successor of Gusu weaver, to investigate the weaving duties and taxes during Hu Feng's tenure and issue an edict to question him. Hu Feng then issued an order on March 3 of the same year. On the 10th, he, Nian and his concubine hanged themselves.

Nian Gengyao’s second sister, Nian Shi, was the side friend of Emperor Yongzheng when he was in the vassal residence. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he made her a noble concubine and gave her the posthumous title of Imperial Concubine Dunsu. She gave birth to three sons and one daughter, all of whom died.

Nian Gengyao’s wife, the son of Mingzhu, a great scholar of Nalan Xingde, was a famous poet in the early Qing Dynasty. He was the author of the now overused sentence "If life is just like the first time we met". daughter.

Nian Gengyao’s stepmother: the daughter of the clan’s auxiliary Duke Su Yan.

After talking about Nian Gengyao, why should we talk about his family prospects?

Everyone must understand that when looking at people, whether they are predecessors or predecessors, they must be comprehensive and cannot stick to one end and use a point to lead the whole.

The one-sidedness mentioned here mainly has the following aspects:

First, to know people and judge the world, to know people, you must first look at the period in which they live and the social situation. Look at the political climate.

Secondly, we must look at the future of the family, looking at his grandfather and father, looking at his brothers and sisters internally, looking at his Taishan in-laws externally, and looking at his sons and daughters below.

Thirdly, to see how he behaves, we must not only observe his superficial appearance, but also have an insight into his dark tactics.

In this way, only one can see thoroughly and clearly.

Enough has been said about Nian Gengyao. Due to the space limit and the purpose of this article, I will not go into more details. Above, I will talk about the anecdotes of Nian Gengyao in the Qing Dynasty's Notes.
