One of Guan Min and Shunde Coptis

? This article tells the story about Guan Min. According to the Guan family genealogy in Guangdong, it is already the 20th generation from Guan Min to me, and it is already 30th generation from Jianningfu in Fujian to Foshan in Guangdong. In Huanglian Guandifang, you can visit Min Gong Temple or Guan Min Temple (which has been demolished and is now Huanglian Central Park Stadium) and Nanchang Gong Temple (now Guandi Public Welfare Hall) when you have time. As for the Guandi clan, they also participate in Liu, Guan, and Zhang gatherings in Guangdong from time to time, especially during the Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. From the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when talking about the history of Guangdong, we cannot avoid Dongguan Bo, and the history of Shunde cannot avoid the efforts and sacrifices of Guan Min and his generation.

1. Guan Min (Guan Min Gong, Dunwu Gong, Guan Min Gong Temple, Nanhai Zhongyi Temple-Guan Min Temple)

Guan Min (1349-1368), Shunde, Guangdong A native of Huanglian County, he was born in the ninth year of the Zheng Dynasty (1349) and died in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368). In the Ming Dynasty, he served as the deputy commander of the army and horses of Dunwu School. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Guan Min family "became a wealthy man, trained local soldiers, gathered in villages to protect the villages, and kept strict restraints, so that the countryside could be safe."

(1) Note 1, "Shunde County Chronicle" written by Guo Rucheng in Xianfeng, Qing Dynasty. Guan Min and Zhang Zhongxian from Leliu Huanglian and Deng Fude from Longshan are among them. In the Yuan Dynasty, bandits were infested in Shunde, and there were even more bandits in the ocean south of Shunde. In Huanglian in the Yuan Dynasty, Guan Min "became a wealthy man, trained local soldiers, gathered in villages to protect the villages, and kept strict restraints to ensure the safety of the countryside." He contended with the two powerful pirate groups of Lu Shishan and Su Shilu. In the first year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, General Liao Yongzhong stationed troops in Guangzhou. Guan Min, Zhang Zhongxian, and Deng Ford immediately expressed their submission to Liao Yongzhong on behalf of the local armed forces. During the struggle between Liao Yongzhong and several major pirate groups, Guan Min led the Local armed forces killed hundreds of pirates one after another, and Guan Min also suffered a retaliatory attack from the pirate group. The pirates besieged Huanglian, "Minli died in battle, and more than 20 people from one clan were killed." Even his cousin Huang Jupu was killed. Later, in a battle with pirates, Zhang Zhongxian "killed hundreds of people with his hands and died at dusk."

(2) Remark 2: Guan Min reported to Huang Zuo's "Guangdong Tongzhi". In the first year of Hongwu, Liao Yongzhong, the Ming Dynasty general who conquered the south, granted him the power of inspection without giving him an official position. "He was given the title of thief, but he gathered people to surround his hometown." Min died in the battle in his hometown. It is no longer clear what the local people's views on his inspection power are reflected in the phrase "thief's title". However, after his death, the Ming government gave him the title of deputy commander of the Military and Horse Command Department of Dunwu Academy. "To show his loyalty to his hometown, he ordered the commander to set up a temple and worship him every year." Another "Guangdong Tongzhi? Yu Di Zhi" has Records of the Zhongyi Township Pavilion in Huanglian Township, Shunde. There is a plaque on the pavilion with the words "Zhongyi Township".

(3) Remark 3: The Fifty-Seventh Page of the Record of Emperor Wuzongyi of the Ming Dynasty Volume 1 gt; 06 History Collection - 1725 volumes gt; 03 Biese History - 100 volumes gt; 51 - The Record of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty - gt; 59-Volume 57 of the Records of Emperor Wuzongyi of the Ming Dynasty Rebuilt the Temple of Guan Min, the Former Dunwu School Lieutenant and Deputy Commander of the Army and Horses □Hong Wu, a native of Shunde County, Guangdong Province, served the general Liao Yongzhong in the southern expedition and later did not build a temple because of the war. When Shunde arrived, his grandson Wanchun asked him to repair it

(4) Note 4: "Chronicles of Dunyi Temple in Huanglian Township" and "Chronicles of Dunyi Temple in Huanglian Township" written by the grandson of the Guan family are the contemporary ancestral halls. records. According to the Guan family genealogy, Guan Min was born in the ninth year of Zhizhi (1349) and died in the first year of Hongwu (1368), so he was only 20 years old when he died. Guan Min had no children, and her father only had one son and three daughters, so he was adopted by another wife. Therefore, to understand the family relationships in his settlement, we need to start from his grandfather’s generation. According to the genealogy, his grandfather Liangchen originally lived in Shannan Township, Nanhai. "In the Yuan Dynasty, he moved to Huanglianmaoyuli. It now runs through Dongyong Township, Shunde County, and the capital is Huanglianbao. He has a national registration of Jiuyuan and Liujia, and his household name is Shengwu. He has lived in Huanglian for a long time." Baogongli, Zhongguofang, Lian Zhongyi Township."

(Note) This was compiled on wiki on May 27, 2017: the entry "wiki/Guan Min" has been added. Frankly speaking, after the Ming Dynasty, it was Guan Min first, and then Huang Lian was granted the title of Zhongyi Township. Later, Guan Min Temple and Guan Min Temple Ci were all temples and examples set by the Ming Dynasty to unify Guangdong and educate the local people. That's something to talk about later.

2. Guan Minmiao Ci

"Qin Ding Si Ku Quanshu", "Xi'an Collection", Volume 9. Ming Dynasty, written by Sun Fan.

"Guan Minmiao Ci" Ming Dynasty, Sun Fan

The wind and grace are shining in the dragon hall, the shadow of the sea is shining, and the clouds are flowing.

The Sichuan peppercorns are worn over the clothes, and the food in the middle is covered with osmanthus syrup.

The new palace is the home of the Marquis. The ship of the Marquis is late, which makes me sad.

Loyalty and unity are spreading, but the atmosphere of the trapped group is not yet over.

Collecting green water chestnuts is reflected in the shocking waves, and the full moon is reflected in the smoke garden.

The tree that changed its name is like a solitary tree. It is as sad as the wind blowing, and it shows the appearance of the mountain.

Loquats are green and gold are yellow, and they will last for thousands of years. I will eat in this country.

The clouds and flags are like rain, and they can protect the upright and punish the treacherous.

Gao Gui is coming, oh, you can forget it! "

This is a poem by the poet Sun Da from Guangdong, which is included in Sikuquanshu and is also the last poem in his collection. I originally wanted to translate it into a modern poem, but now I have given up and only made it into sentences. Paragraphs. The poem describes the scene when the author attended the commemoration event for his hometown friends, and also expresses the author's feelings for the people, objects, and scenery in his hometown. The last paragraph expresses his unforgettable memory of Guan Min's loyalty and integrity. A thousand years of history can punish traitors.

This is the case. Among the brothers who participated in the recovery of Guangdong and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Sun Guan was an example for Shunde people (note, there was no Shunde at that time. ), Guan Min died for his country and left behind Zhongyi Township and Guan Min Temple, and Poet Sun left this poem about Guan Min Temple.

As an aide to Liao Yongzhong, Poet Sun specially wrote this poem. The imperial court praised Guan Min, who sacrificed his life for the Ming Dynasty, and named Huanglian a Zhongyi Township. He built a temple to worship Guan Min to educate the people of Guangdong. Now, the Guan Min Temple (Guan Min Gong Temple) of Sun Guan no longer exists. What remains is Zhongyi Township-Huanglian, and the lovely and amiable Shunde people living here.

I will talk about Huanglian later. Now Huanglian has become a tourist town, a symbol of Lingnan water town and dragon boat culture. One of the representative places, the statue of Guan Min was re-established in the Huanglian Historical Materials Museum in 2019, reviving and continuing his glory in Shunde.

Take a look at the "Huanglian Historical Materials" to find the site of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. There are ancestral halls and rural temples, as well as the cheerful dragon boats every Dragon Boat Festival and the many tourists in Huanglian. It must be a pleasure to go to Shunde and Huanglian when you have time to find the unique charm of this Lingnan cultural tourism town.

What I Know about Huang Lianguan Min Temple (Shunde Blog) Posted by Green Garden Uncle on 2020-12-23

There was a Guan Min Temple in Guandi Village of Huanglian Community in the 1950s. The person enshrined in the temple is Guan Min, who has a very interesting story: During the Yuan Dynasty, our ancestor named Liang, who founded the village, named Liang, married Guan Min’s relative. The younger sister was his wife. Guan Min saw that his brother-in-law was a good man but had no land to make a living, so he set aside a large piece of farmland for him to cultivate and make a living. This is the current Beitou Village in Huanglian. It can be seen that Guan Minzhi is a righteous man. According to relevant Historical records:

In the Yuan Dynasty, bandits were infested in Shunde, and the sea to the south of Shunde was even more crowded with thieves. In Huanglian in the Yuan Dynasty, Guan Min "made a fortune, trained soldiers, gathered in villages to protect the villages, and kept strict restraints to ensure the safety of the countryside." He contended with the two powerful pirate groups of Lu Shishan and Su Shilu. In the first year of Hongwu when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, General Liao Yongzhong stationed his troops in Guangzhou. Guan Min, Zhang Zhongxian, and Deng Ford represented the local armed forces and expressed their submission to Liao Yongzhong. During the struggle between Liao Yongzhong and several major pirate groups, Guan Min led Local armed forces killed hundreds of pirates one after another, and Guan Min also suffered a retaliatory attack from the pirate group. The pirates besieged Huanglian, "Minli died in the battle, and more than 20 people from one branch were killed."

? We also have a legend in Huanglian: Guan Min fought to the death with pirates, and his body fell into the wide Xijiang River. The tribesmen were afraid that his body would drift out to sea with the water, so they searched everywhere in boats but couldn't find it, so they had to be disappointed. But when they returned, Guan Min's body actually floated back to Huanglian against the current. This is the legend of Huanglian's "corpse against the current". Liao Yongzhong, the general who conquered the south, reported Guan Min's deeds to the imperial court. To show his loyalty, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty specially named Guan Min a Zhongyi Marquis and granted him some official silver to build a Zhongyi Temple as a commemoration. Huanglian Township granted Zhongyi the title. After the completion of the Guan Min Zhongyi Temple, it became the largest, most senior and famous sacrificial temple in Shunde because it was granted the title of the emperor and had an archway and flagpole holder given by the emperor. Huanglian Township is also known as Zhongyi Township.

When I was in primary school in the early 1950s, a primary school teacher named Xiao Junjian died of old age. He was single, had no family, and was an outsider. His body was found in Guan Min Temple. Several classmates and I made a special trip I went to Guan Min Temple to say goodbye to Teacher Xiao. At that time, there was still a tall and mighty statue of Guan Min in Guan Min Temple, which was located on a wide white stone base. There is also a legend in Huanglian: There is a bottomless mouth under the statue of Guan Min. There is an iron chain hanging straight down the well. Someone once tried to rub the iron chain up, but it couldn't be stopped and had to give up. In fact, there is no such thing. I was a good boy at that time and never wandered around except when I was studying at home, so this was the only time I went to Guan Min Temple.

I went to Leliu Middle School in the late 1950s, and I knew very little about rural affairs. It may be that Fanshun County built a large auditorium in Daliang or during the Leliu Commune era, it needed green bricks to build a hexagonal hall in Daliang. There were no brick factories that burned red bricks in that era], so the large Guan Min Temple was demolished to the ground. There are no traces of it today, which is still regrettable. In recent years, people with the Guan surname of Huanglian held a meeting to rebuild the Guan Min Temple, but it failed. It is difficult to reach an agreement because there are so many involved.

In worldly affairs, the past is past. Looking forward, some history will always be forgotten and lost in the long river of history. It depends on whether future generations have the intention to record it and pass it on to the future. . Nowadays, many communities have set up village history museums to let future generations know their history. Huanglian has also set up a village history museum, which is a very positive work.

Appendix 3, National Identity of Local Society in the Pearl River Delta

"State and Etiquette: National Identity of Local Society in the Pearl River Delta from the Song Dynasty to the Mid-Qing Dynasty"

(Excerpt)

"However, it is difficult to explain the complementary relationship between local and central governments in terms of etiquette by discussing regional society in a general way. The following is a slightly more complex example, which hopefully can clearly illustrate this point.

This example is the experience of He Zhen, a Guangdong scholar at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, who was later named Dongguan Bo by the Ming Taizu, who belonged to the Guan Min family. It reflects the inseparable relationship between land and sacrifice.

Guan Min was reported to see Huang Zuo's "Guangdong Tongzhi". 〔19〕 In the first year of Hongwu, Liao Yongzhong, the Ming Dynasty general who conquered the south, granted him the power of inspection without giving him an official position. It is no longer clear what the local people's views on his inspection power are reflected in the phrase "the title of a thief". However, after his death, the Ming government gave him the title of deputy commander of the Military and Horse Command Department of Dunwu Academy. "To show his loyalty to his hometown, he ordered the commander to build a temple and worship him every year." Another "Guangdong Tongzhi·Yu Di Zhi" has Records of the Zhongyi Township Pavilion in Huanglian Township, Shunde. There is a plaque on the pavilion with the three words "Zhongyi Township". 〔20〕 Sun's "Chronicles of Dunyi Temple in Huanglian Township" is a record of the establishment of the temple in contemporary times. [21] According to the Guan family genealogy, Guan Min was born in the ninth year of Zhizheng (1349) and died in the first year of Hongwu (1368), so he was only 20 years old when he died. Guan Min had no children, and her father only had one son and three daughters, so he was adopted by another wife. 〔22〕 Therefore, to understand the family relationships in his settlement, we need to start from his grandfather’s generation.

According to the genealogy, his grandfather Liangchen originally lived in Shannan Township, Nanhai. "In the Yuan Dynasty, he moved to Huanglianmaoyuli. It is now located in Dongyong Township, Shunde County, with the capital Huanglianbao. Jiuyuan Liujia national registration, household name His name is Shengwu, and he has lived in Baogong Lane, Zhongguofang, Zhongyi Township, Huanglian." The lineage of several generations following Liangchen is shown in the figure below (arranged from right to left in order of eldest and youngest):

The family with Liangchen as the ancestor was divided into three families after the second generation, and the fourth generation of the eldest family ancestor (1369 ~ 1425) "Received many awards... In the 27th year of Hongwu (1394), he advocated great righteousness and gathered the Jieshi Guards"; Pu (1346~), the eldest son of Erfang III, "had twenty-one hectares of land and was admitted to the official position due to traitors and traitors. Later he fled, so he died"; Sanfang Sanshimin had no children, but because he helped the Ming government to pacify Guangdong, the imperial court established a temple to worship him. At the same time, Guan Min Yifang obviously had a considerable amount of permanent property, and his sister also had a dowry with her when she got married. marry. Therefore, among this family, the one with a temple for worship and relatively rich property was Guan Min. At this time, since the family ancestral hall had not yet been established, family worship was probably centered on Guan Min's temple. However, since Guan Min died early and had no offspring, the only people who could inherit his sacrificial incense and property were the Yuli branch under the eldest and second bedrooms. However, the eldest son's legitimate son was grouped into a military household and seemed to have set up another household registration. The two adopted sons either set up another household registration or were sent to Beijing. Therefore, Guan Min's temple sacrifices and property were obviously inherited by his adoptive Yu Li. At the same time, because Yu Li's second son was adopted by his brother Yu Wen, the family's property in Guanyu and Dou Yuan and the family worship centered on Guan Min Temple were controlled by Yu Li's descendants. This example reflects the close relationship between succession, land control and sacrificial rituals. ”

Huanglian Guanmin Shihai Supplements (Shunde Blog) Green Garden Uncle? Published on 2020-12-25

Guan Min

Guan Min, a native of Shunde Huanglian. "Guangdong General Chronicle": Shunde Huang Lianjing Zhongfang's "Guan Family Genealogy" records: Guan Min is the tenth grandson of Jing Qi Gong, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty who moved south to Guangdong.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos and bandits were everywhere. In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368), General Liao Yongzhong stationed his troops in Guangzhou, and Guan Min led his troops. He surrendered and sent troops to capture the big bandits Lu Shishan and Su Shilu of Longtan Township. Later, the remaining party counterattacked, and Guan Minli died in the battle. More than 20 members of his family were killed by the sword. Liao Yongzhong, the general of the Southern Expedition, reported to the court for his bravery.

Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty recognized Guan Min as a righteous man without being awarded an official position during his lifetime, and sacrificed his life to fight against thieves. Therefore, he granted Guan Min the title of "Deputy Commander of the Dunwu School Lieutenant's Army and Horse Division", and granted Huanglian Township the title of "Zhongyi Township". Build a "Loyalty Pavilion" and a "Dunyi Temple", and offer sacrifices every autumn and September to show your loyalty. Zhongyi Township was exempted from labor service for three years and more than 30 hectares of land was exempted from taxes and grain for one year. In the second year of Hongwu (1369), the imperial court built Dunwu Temple in Guandi Village, Huanglian. Sun Fan, a famous poet in Shunde who was in charge of the county education at that time (equivalent to the current Director of Education of Foshan City), once wrote a poem praising his virtue: "The clouds and flags are like rain, and the generals are here to protect the upright and punish the treacherous."

In addition to "Guangdong Tongzhi", Guan Min's story is also recorded in "Ming Huidian", "Ming Dynasty Loyal Ministers", "Ming Tongjian", and "Ancient and Modern Books Collection" written by Chen Menglei in the Qing Dynasty. , "Guangzhou Zhongyi Biography", "Shunde County Chronicles", "Nanhai County Chronicles" and other classics.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court promulgated a code of law - the "Ming Huidian", which unified regulations on the "righteous gods" worshiped by local governments: including heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, Confucius, sages, previous kings, founding heroes and other national figures. *** 335 people, including 15 "righteous gods" in Guangdong, Guan Min is among them, becoming the "righteous god" who common people go to the altar to enjoy the sacrifices of the world. This shows his social influence at that time.

According to the "Hong Kong Guan Family Genealogy", the tenth generation ancestor Guan Minweng was loyal and righteous, and helped the emperor Taizu to rule the world. He was ordered to flatten Lingnan and was killed in the battle. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and there was no record, so it is not recorded. Give praise and seal. Several years later, Emperor Gao flattened the desert, and our ancestors served the country loyally, and even though they died, they still had spirit. Flags gathered in the Yinling Formation, mosquitoes and flies pushed it into the shape of the word "Guan Min". The vanguard of the army defeated the enemy and achieved a great victory. The emperor was surprised to ask the military adviser about the mosquito and fly puzzles, and then he found out that it was the name of my ancestor. The emperor wanted to make him a count and proposed to make him hereditary. That night the emperor dreamed that my ancestor did not want to take the title, but only wanted to be given a drink every year. So Emperor Ming ordered a temple to be built in Huanglian. He was granted the title "Dunwu", which means "Commander of the Army and Horses Division, Loyal, Righteous and Fearful of the Country". He was offered sacrifices every spring and autumn, and his descendants were given clothes and scarves to worship him from generation to generation.

Zhang Zhongxian (Guan Min is Zhang’s wife-uncle)

Zhang Zhongxian: He is resolute and decisive, knowledgeable in history, knowledgeable in strategy, and committed to the forefront. At that time, he and his wife's uncle Guan Min fought in the trenches to defend their hometown. After Guan Min's death, Zhang Zhongxian followed "Nanxiong Hou" Zhao Yong to attack Dongguan Cao Zhen. Zhang Zhongxian took the lead in advancing in a boat, bravely seizing the enemy's port, breaking the thieves' advance, and the official ships rode the tide, which was unstoppable. When the thieves see it, they will collapse without a fight. Zhao Yong deeply loved his bravery and admired his strength, so he promoted Zhang Zhongxian to "Inspector of Baishadu". Later, he was sent to lead the army to break the Dongguan dilemma. Zhang Zhongxian took a boat to Haikou. The bandits were deeply afraid of his bravery and surrounded him. Zhang Zhongxian showed no fear, calmly faced the enemy, fought hard for a day, killed hundreds of enemies, and finally died on the battlefield, finally quelling the enemy's troubles. Zhao Yongjia lamented that he was not loyal anymore. From then on, officials and people with high moral character sent people to pay tribute to him. 150 years later, in the Yiwei year of Jiajing (1535), the imperial court specially awarded him a "Loyal Minister Plaque". 200 years later, in the Jihai year of Wanli (1599), plaques of "Linghai Zhonglie" and "Loyalty and Righteousness" were given. His deeds were recorded in the "Zhi", and his family was further recognized. The "Zhongchen Temple" was built in Huanglian, and the sacrificial specifications were the same as those of Guan Min. In addition, Zhang Zhongxian, Guan Min, Guan Yancheng, etc. were commended by the Ministry of Education, and the "Zhongyi Township List" was published to publicize the four townships.

"Eye-washing Scholar" Liang Chengzhi (Liang is a cousin of Guan Min)

Huang Lian Liang Chengzhi, courtesy name Wensheng, nickname Jianshan, is a descendant of Liang Zhen, the third son of Liang Qi. Liang Zongyu was the son of Liang Zhen. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Liang Zongyu married Guan Min's sister, and the Guan family gave her the beach space as a dowry. From then on, the Liang family lived in Huanglian.

Liang Chengzhi lost his father when he was young and devoted himself to serving his mother. His mother suffered from eye disease for a long time. Liang Chengzhi was so heartbroken that he cried day and night. He then washed his mother's eyes with her tears. Fourteen days later, his mother's eyes were cured. The villagers were amazed and people called him "Eye-washing Scholar". His son Liang Deng was a candidate for Qianlong, his grandson Liang Zhaobang was a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and his great-grandson Liang Shouchang was a candidate for Jiaqing.

When there were occasional disputes in the village, Liang Chengzhi always tried to persuade them with his gentle words, which were gentle and easy-going, and his principles were compatible with each other. His hatred was instantly relieved, and the villagers called him a good man.

Appendix 5, About Coptis and Guandi

Guandi: The Huanglian Central Park now located in Guandi is the original Guan Min Temple (Guan Min Temple) Location nearby. Guandi is adjacent to Beitou (surnamed Liang) and Chongkou (surnamed Zhang). It turns out that the dragon boat in Nanchang Gongci (Guandi Public Welfare Office) has been turned into a road. Now the dragon boat in Guandi is buried on the riverside opposite Tianhou Palace in Chongkou. There are also memorial places for Guan Min in Guan Di, namely "Baogong Lane" (there is a renovated plaque at the end of the alley), "Loyalty and Righteousness Liufang" plaque (opposite Huaguang Temple), and the one related to Guan's surname is "Longxi Lane" (Longxi Hall) No.), and there are only three ancestral halls, Nanchang Gong Temple, Xizhuang Gong Temple, and Jiantian Ancestral Temple. The main dragon boat ceremonial guard is placed in Hongsheng Temple next to the original Guanmin Temple. All celebrations of Guandi are held in Nanchang Gongci (Guandi Public Welfare Hall).

Huanglian Village History Museum and Huanglian: In the Huanglian Village History Museum, the statue of Guan Min has been re-erected in 2019, and Huanglian has regained its former glory and become a cultural tourism town in Lingnan, which is a great blessing. The two articles on Shunde Blog also show that these historical stories are actually deeply rooted in the people. Coupled with the "Historical Materials of Coptis Lian" 1993 released a few days ago, the entire image of Coptis and Guan Min becomes more three-dimensional.

The following is a brief introduction to some coptis (see the following two articles)
