What kind of person is Wang Xiang?

On Wangjiang and Susong as the Shelter of Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang (184 —— April 30, 268), whose real name was Zheng Xiu. He is famous for "sleeping on the ice and looking for carp". He was a great filial son in Wei and Jin Dynasties and was listed as one of the "Twenty-four Filial Pieties". Taibao was the first minister in the Western Jin Dynasty.

There are different opinions about Wang Xiang's life, native place, children, refuge, ice sleeping place and grave. And there are many sayings. Among all kinds of statements, the most authoritative one is the book Biography of Wang Jinxiang:

Wang Xiang, whose real name is Hugh, was born in Linyi. He was an evil person and Hou Ji, a remonstrator in the Han Dynasty. Zuren, Qingzhou secretariat. If the father and, the government can't monarch.

Auspicious and filial. In her early years, her stepmother Zhu was unkind and was scolded for losing her love for her father. Every time I sweep the cows, I am even more respectful. Parents are sick and can't take off their clothes. Soup and medicine must be tasted. Mother often wants to eat raw fish. When it is cold and freezing, Xiang will take off her clothes and peel the ice for it. The ice suddenly dissolved on its own, and the double carp jumped out and returned. Mother thought of yellowbird moxibustion again, and dozens of yellowbirds flew into the curtains she made for her mother. The village was stunned and thought it was caused by Xiaogan. It's very dangerous. My mother ordered me to watch it. Every time it rains and winds, Xiang needs to hold the tree and cry. His filial piety is so pure.

Han was not disturbed, so he helped his mother and brother swim in Lujiang and lived in seclusion for more than 30 years, which should not be ordered by the state and county. At the end of mother's life, she will be destroyed in mourning, and then the staff will rise. Xuzhou secretariat Lu Qian didn't drive. He bowed his head in an auspicious year and refused to accept his words. Look at the suggestion, for a car cow, called Xiang, sincerely entrusted with state affairs. When bandits and thieves flooded, Xiang led the army to fight them often. The realm is quiet and the politics is big. People sing, "Haiyi's health depends on Wang Xiang. The country is not empty and does not open. "

Raise a scholar, except for the temperature order, move to the big sinong. Aristocratic township public acceded to the throne, decided to make meritorious service, sealed off the customs, worshipped Guanglu Xun and transferred to a captain. Since begging for money, 400 households have been added in the city, and the pavilions have been closed for a long time because they have moved too frequently. The son of heaven is fortunate to be a scholar, and his life is auspicious for the three old people. There are some sticks in southern Hunan that call themselves teachers. The son of heaven asked for words in the north, and made it clear that he wanted to train kings, saints, emperors and ministers, and all he heard were eager to learn.

And the death of the noble township public, the courtiers mourned, and Xiang wailed: "The old minister has no shape." Tears exchanged, and everyone was ashamed. After a while, I worshipped and transferred to Qiu to work in a middle school. Fifth-class building, sealed Suilinghou, with 1,600 households in the city.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, Xiang and Xun Yu went to worship. Xiang said, "Your Majesty respects him. Since he has done his best, he will worship him today." Xiang said, "I am a loyal man, and I am the Prime Minister of Wei. We are the Prince of Wei San, Qi Huangong is different from the King of Qi, only one order, the same class, and there are three teachers who need to worship others! Hurt Wei's hope and lost Jin's virtue. Gentlemen love gifts, I don't do it. " If you enter, you will worship, and you will be the only one. The emperor said, "Today, you will know how important you are!" "

Emperor Wu practiced the law, worshiped Taibao, conferred knighthood for the public, and added seven official titles. The emperor loves life and wastes it as slander. Xiang, He Zeng, Zheng Chong, etc. , are old, eager to see the court again. The emperor sent his servant Ren Kai to ask about the gains and losses, and asked about politics first. Xiangrui begged for abdication because of his old age and weakness, and the emperor refused. In the suggestion, Shi Guang and Cheng Hou were ill for a long time, and he was absent from the court. Please avoid being a lucky official. The imperial edict said, "The senior officials of the Pacific Insurance Company will do well, and I rely heavily on the political elders. Not satisfied before and after, this matter is not discussed. " Then I went to bed to play. Gu Xiang begged for bones. When he heard this letter, he was the first to listen to Gong Ling, just like Fu Bao. He is on the right side of the third division, so Lu gives it. The imperial edict said: "It was not the prince who was an official in ancient times. today

Although I stay in Beijing as a Lord protector, it is not appropriate to make any further demands. He gave a few sticks, he didn't go to North Korea, and he consulted and visited all major events. Give me a car and a horse, the first district, millions of money, 500 pieces of silk, beds and mattresses, with six sillers as Suiling company and 20 officials riding. Take childe riding a captain Zhao for example, so that you can always save yourself. Another B Taibao is noble and noble, and has no home. Its right to stay in this house must be realized first. "

When he was sick, he wrote a suicide note to admonish his descendants: "It is natural for a husband to die when he is born. I am eighty years old, so I don't hate it. No last words left me speechless. My life has come to the end of the season, and I have been tested by Deng Yong. I don't have Pizuo's honor and nothing to report. Exhale, but wash your hands and feet, don't take a shower, don't pester your body, wear your clothes and take them at any time. Wei's jade jaw and Wan's gift to Shan Xuan should not be collected. The soil on Simao is very strong, so don't use flint or open a grave. Go through two feet and take the coffin. Don't make a front hall, several banquets, or a mirror of a bookcase. You can make a bed in front of the coffin. Provide a plate of whole grains and a glass of wine in the morning and evening. The size of the family does not need to send a funeral, and the auspicious size is a special sacrifice. No invasion of my life! Gao Chai wept blood for three years, and the master called him a fool. Minko watched the funeral. Zhong Ni called it filial piety. Therefore, the mourning of crying, killing the sun and the moon, and eating properly have their own systems. Husband's words and deeds can be covered, and the letter is true; Pushing the United States to lead, Germany also; Famous relatives, filial piety; Brother Yi Yi, from Yan Xin, is very caring; Nothing is more important than giving up money: these five things are the foundation of the body. Yanzi lived for life, but she didn't think about it. How can a husband have it? " All his sons did as they were told.

In the fifth year of Taishi, I gave Dongyuan a hidden weapons, a suit, a suit, 300,000 yuan and a hundred pieces of cloth. At that time, the queen mother of civilization began to collapse more than a month ago. Later, she said, "I mourn for the Duke of Sui Ling, so far. Although I feel sorry for this every time, I have to pay special attention to it. I will cry today. " Next year, it will be called "Yuan".

If you are lucky, not the court sages will kiss the old collectors, and there will be no guests at the door. Sun Rong sighed, "Taibao can be said to be clear!" Also known as: "the image is in the beginning, not in the flow of words." Talk to it, it won't cover its words with virtue! "

Xiang has five sons: Zhao, Xia, Fu, Lie and Fen. Zhao died in early summer and became a rich heir. At the beginning of Xianning, the Xiang family was poor and frugal, and gave 300 silks. He bowed down and went to Luo Taishou, and died as "filial piety". Son root heir, scattered riding lang. Zhao Shizhi to Chuping Taishou. Zhao Zijun, the guardian of Prince Scheeren, was permanently sealed. A gentleman is far away, Yulin is a satrap. Fierce, energetic and uplifting are well known and loved by Xiang. The second son died at the same time. On my deathbed, I want to bury the old soil, and Fen wants to stay in the city. Xiang Liu said with tears: "Don't forget your hometown, be kind; Don't love your homeland, elegance. Benevolence and ideographic, my second son has it. "

From the above, we can draw the following conclusions:

1. Life: Born in Langya, took refuge in Lujiang and became an official in Wei and Jin Dynasties.

2. Native place: Linyi (now Linyi, Shandong).

3. Children: Five children: Zhao, Xia, Fu, Lie and Fen.

4. Refuge: Qijiang County.

5. Lying in the ice pool: either in Linyi or Lujiang.

The first three articles are very clear and accurate and should be discussed without doubt. Let's start with article 4: Take refuge in Wang Xiang. According to the biography of Wang Jinxiang, "Han was not disturbed, and my mother and her brother took refuge in Lujiang and lived in seclusion for more than 30 years, which should not be ordered by the state and county." Thus, it is true that Wang Xiang took refuge in Lujiang and lived there for more than 30 years. Lujiang County can be said to be the second hometown of Wang Xiang. But where in Lujiang County? "Wang Jin Shu Xiang Biography" has no explanation.

Let's take a look at Lujiang County. According to Geography of Hanshu, Lujiang County was named Huainan. In the sixteenth year of Emperor Wendi (164 BC), he was not in China. There is a Dongling Township in the northwest of Jin Lan, which belongs to Yangzhou. Lujiang River flows out of the southeast of Lingyang and flows northward into the river, leading to 12 counties: Yue Shu (the city bank of Chengchi Village, Chenbu Township, Lujiang County), Yue Juchao (the northeast of Chaohu City), Yue Longshu (the Longhekou of Shucheng County), Yue Hulin (the wall village of Xu Shanlin, Hu Lin, Baisheng Township) and Yue Lou (the Gushi County, Henan Province) Xiaojing Emperor (BC/KLOC-). At the end of Han Dynasty, it moved to Qianshan County, Anhui Province.

The only record of Wang Xiang's refuge recorded in Lujiang County Records is Wangjiang County Records. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wangjiang belonged to Lujiang County, Anhui County. Wang Xiang's refuge is now south of Wangjiang County. According to the earliest discovered Ming Wanli "Wangjiang County Records Wang Xiangchuan", "Filial piety is the highest. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Lujiang was randomly sheltered for 32 years. " Another cloud: "Xiang Furong, marry Gao Ping Shi Xue, and be lucky; I was born after I married Zhujiajian in Lujiang. And Xiang's escape from chaos in Lujiang is really because of the thunder of my former residence. All the "thinking birds" and "watching birds" in the biography are about ray. Later, Zhu Mu learned that she turned cool into kindness, which was also a matter of thunder. " Lei and Wang Jiang are also nicknames.

Today, Wangjiang has San Xiao Temple, Sleeping Ice Pool, Xingxiao Pavilion, Li Yue Bridge, Hualong Bridge, Cart Lane, Naiyuan and Xiaojing. San Xiao Temple was founded in Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, and has been rebuilt in all previous dynasties. Wu Ying 'ao's "Rebuilding Three Filial Pieties" says: "Wang Xiang, Meng Zong, Xu Zhongyuan and Yue Ji, three sons, lived in different places during the Jin and Tang Dynasties, but their filial piety was in Wangjiang, so they covered themselves." There is another cloud: "Wangjiang is known as the hometown of three filial piety, and the people's customs are mellow, but filial piety is the main way to transform the people's customs."

It is located in the south bank of Buhe River in Wangjiang County (now on the left side of Wang Ji Highway) and lies in an ice pool. The Yuan Dynasty's Collection of Essays on Cihu recorded that the ice pool was located in Wangjiang. "Although this pool is extremely frozen, it is not as frozen as a person lying down." "Wang Xiangchi is in the southwest of Wangjiang County, Anqing," said Chen Ming-Qing's Hidden Book. Wang Qing Jing Fang's "Rebuilding the Ice Pond and Walking the Pavilion" says: "On the right side of Wangjiang South dike, there is a pool with a circular diameter of six or seven steps. According to legend, Wang Xiang lies on the ice with fish, hence the name of Yuema Carp Bridge. "

There are both historical materials and historical sites, so it should be true and credible for Wang Xiang to take refuge in Wangjiang. However, in recent years, susong county said otherwise: Wang Xiang's refuge is in Longmen Village, Zuoba Township, susong county, and the evidence is the Wang Family Tree of Zuoba. According to Zuo Ba's Genealogy of the Wang Family, Wang Xianggong, the ancestor of the Wang family, and Wang Xiang, the son of Han Yuankang (65 BC) and Chen Geng (20 AD) died at the age of 85. In order to avoid the chaos in the late Han Dynasty, he lived in Yangwan for many years. He gave birth to two sons, the first one is a man, and the second one is two men. The two brothers live in the upper and lower rooms, one man lives in Shangwanwang Lane, and the other man lives in Xiawanwang Lane. You Yun: My ancestral home is Jimo, Shandong, and I moved to Susong to avoid the disaster of Wang Dun clan. My surname is Wang, and my former residence was changed to "Yangxiwan".

There are many mistakes in this statement: first, the year of birth and death is wrong. According to Xiang Zhuan, he was born in 185, but Wang Jiapu said that he was born in 65 BC, with a difference of 250 years. This statement not only denies the biography of Wang Xiang in the Book of Jin, but also denies the biography of the Three Kingdoms and Lu Qian. If Wang Xiang lived in the New Mang period, then his grandchildren, such as Wang Dao, should live in the Eastern Han Dynasty. How could he be "in the world" with Si Marui? Secondly, the so-called "moving to Susong to avoid the disaster of Wang Dun clan" is far-fetched. According to Biography of Wang Jinxiang, Wang Xiang died in 269 AD, while Wang Dun was born in 266 AD, only three years old. He was the grandson of Wang Xiang and contemporary with Wang Dao. Compared with the mistake of the year of birth and death, the saying of "avoiding the disaster of Wang Dun clan" is even more absurd! Third, it is said that we live in the new period, so how can we "avoid the chaos in the late Han Dynasty"? Not to mention "avoiding Wang Dun"? Ridiculous contradiction! Although self-contradictory, we can still find some clues: First, Wang Xiang, the ancestor of the Wang family in Zuoba, although not necessarily Wang Xiang, the filial son of Wei and Jin Dynasties, certainly avoided disaster. Secondly, to avoid disasters, the former residence was changed to "Yang Xiwan", which is very similar to the origin of Wang Yang's surname. If we study Wang Yang's surname, we may make a breakthrough. To sum up, Susong's statement about Wang Xiang's refuge is not credible.

Another piece of evidence is Anqing Tongzhi. According to Kangxi's Annals of Anqing, Volume 4 (8 1 page), Thirty-two years of refuge in Wangjiang. Wangjiang and Susong are both counties of Anqing prefecture, but Anqing prefecture records only contain Wangjiang, not Susong. Why? Wang Xiang took refuge in Wangjiang, not Susong.
