Zhang Hui's Zhang Wenhua is in Qinghe

Surname is not only a private matter, but also a family matter. Surname is a kind of culture, which is related to the inheritance of history and culture. Recently, it was learned that the World Zhang Family Friendship Association decided to hold the fourth Zhang Family Friendship Association in Qinghe County, Hebei Province in 2009.

The grand ceremony was held in Qinghe, marking that Qinghe, as the birthplace of Zhang, has been unanimously recognized by the Zhang clan in the world, and it also marks that the development of Zhang culture in Qinghe has entered a brand-new stage.

Zhang's descendants moved from the water of Qinghe River to the land of China and to other countries in the world. They are connected with their ancestors' blood and set foot on their roots with brilliant achievements created in different places.

Since the 1990s, the Qinghe county party committee and government have attached great importance to the research and excavation of Zhang Wenhua, vigorously carried out internal and external exchanges and achieved fruitful results.

Zhang Zuji was born in Qinghe, and the water of Qinghe raised generations of Zhang descendants. They inherited the blood of their ancestors and played a role in promoting historical and social progress.

The story of the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou has been circulating in China for nearly 5000 years.

The ancient Xuanyuan tribe fought against the Chiyou tribe and lost eight times to the North. The eldest son of the Yellow Emperor, the fifth son of Shao Hao, waved and watched the sky at night. Inspired by the shooting star crossing the arrow, he made bows and arrows for the Yellow Emperor, and assisted him in the decisive battle. He used a bow and arrow to shoot from a distance and attack from a close distance, forcing Chiyou to escape from the sea and punish him, thus pacifying the world. After the Yellow Emperor established his position as the king of the world, he added a reward to Hua Gong and gave him a surname of Zhang, and lived in Qingyang, which is today's Qinghe County.

The origin of the Zhang family in Qinghe is clearly recorded in ancient books. Zhang's genealogy, which was revised during the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, records: "Swing, watch the arc and control the arrow, give the surname Zhang, official seal the bow, worship the arc star, live in Qingyang County, and then change to Qinghe County."

Why is Qinghe County, which is still in use today, named "Qinghe"? This is an ancient river, between Qi and Zhao during the Warring States Period. According to Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty, "Qinghe originated in the northern part of Henan Province and was called Qinghe only after flowing through Wei County in Hebei Province." After the Sui Dynasty, the ancient Qinghe River was lost due to the repeated diversion of the Yellow River. Although this river no longer exists, the name of Qinghe County named after this river has been used to this day. Therefore, when Zhang's genealogy book mentions the surnames of counties, it is mostly Qinghe County, and the genealogy book is often marked with the word "Qinghetang" to show that the ancestral land is not forgotten.

The core of historical culture is historical figures. In the history of human development, 14 of the 25 descendants of the Chinese people got surnames, but only the historical origin of the Zhang family constituted a humanistic flavor different from other surnames. A typical Zhang celebrity can be like a star.

Zhang Hui invented the bow and arrow, which not only laid a strong military foundation at that time, but also became an excellent traditional cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, and its value transcended national boundaries and spread all over the world. 1 1 Ren Sun Yat-sen and Zhang Dan invented the "stove" when he was in charge of the "fire administration", which achieved a leap in cooking food with the "stove" in human life, and thus Zhang Dan became the "cook" worshipped by people up to now.

Dayu's water control is world-famous. The rolling dike built by Dayu's father is still lying at the junction of Qinghe and Weixian, with a height of 2m and a width of10m. After Gun was killed, Yu inherited his father's business and continued to refine water. The twelfth grandson was the official of Shuizheng. Tianjie Zhang learned the lesson of water refining by gun and dredged the river. First, it leads to ditches, flows into rivers, and then discharges into the sea. Finally, today's Jianghuai Hehan was formed, and Yu Xia's full contribution to water smelting was realized.

During the 540 years from the Yellow Emperor to the present, Zhang people have made great achievements in military affairs, politics, economy and life, and promoted social progress. Then from the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, Zhang lived for 28 generations, with prime ministers and generals. Since the reunification of the Qin Dynasty, there have been countless loyal ministers, brave generals, scientists, writers and artists who have helped Liu Bang to complete the great cause of destroying the Qin Dynasty and reviving the Han Dynasty. For example, Zhang Heng, who developed the "waiting for the wind and seismograph", Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", and Zhang Zeduan, who painted the famous Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and so on. Grandchildren who spend money on public affairs have become a force that cannot be ignored in promoting historical and social progress.

Zhang's descendants moved from the water of Qinghe River to the land of China and to other countries in the world. They are connected with their ancestors' blood and set foot on their roots with brilliant achievements created in different places.

Zhang has a long history.

The ancestors were brave and fearless.

The shore of Qinghe River moistens and grows.

Worship arc star, defend our country.

Used in the war to expand territory and expand territory.

Spend your time on merit and live forever.

On the morning of September 6th, 2006, the President of Singapore Zhang's General Association and the Chairman of Yamei Group read a eulogy in front of Zhang's ancestral grave in China, Qinghe County.

The grandchildren who went out came to Qinghe to "seek their roots and ask their ancestors", which began at 1996. Some of them come from all directions of the motherland, and more come from overseas.

However, when did they go out of Qinghe and spread abroad?

Zhang is a family full of pioneering spirit. During the pre-Qin period, they migrated from Qinghe to various vassal States. The wave of refugees caused by military disasters and natural disasters in Qin and Han Dynasties promoted the migration of ancestors named Zhang. With the formation of post-war reunification, the prosperous Zhang family needs to seek new living space. Specifically, there are three waves of Zhang's migration:

The first time began in the late Western Han Dynasty when Wang Mang came to power and established a new dynasty. In this migration, the genealogy of 100 people in Qinghe, Pingtung County, Taiwan recorded that Zhang Zumai was in Qinghe, and later moved to Xuzhou because of many children, and gradually moved south. An ancestor crossed the Yangtze River and lived in Xiata Quzhou (now Zhejiang), Tuozhou (now Jiangxi), Fuzhou, Shaozhou and Ganshuai 1. A ancestral home moved to Huzhou (now Zhejiang); An ancestor played in the state (in present-day Vietnam).

The second time was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. At the beginning of the 4th century, after the Yongjia riots, the Western Jin regime perished. The center of Zhang's ancestral activities was in the war. In order to survive, they left their hometown again, went south to build Ye (now Nanjing), and then moved to Xiangfan.

The third wave of immigrants began in the late Northern Song Dynasty. This migration made Zhang people migrate to Bashu, Huaibei, Lingnan and other places. At this point, the prodigal son and grandson have spread all over the country. Later, Zhang's descendants moved out further due to war or life reasons, and after thousands of years, they spread all over Southeast Asia and five continents.

After nearly five thousand years of reproduction, Zhang became one of the most important members of the Chinese nation. In the Tang Dynasty, it was listed as the surname of "Zhu Guo". By the 1980s, Zhang's population had exceeded 1 100 million, including 20 million foreigners.

Zhang people have never forgotten their ancestral roots since they came out of the water of Qinghe, because they know that their material and spiritual roots are in Qinghe. "There must be roots in towering trees, and there must be active water in mountains" in order to "seek roots"; "Roots of vegetation, mountains and rivers and Kunlun mountains, rivers and Zu Hai" is to "ask ancestors". "Seeking the roots and asking the ancestors" is not to pray for the ancestors, but to show that they are connected with the ancestors' blood. No wonder Mr. Zhang Guiyuan, the 86-year-old grandson of 147 generation who lives in Taiwan Province, wrote an inscription for the book "Tracing the Origin of Zhang's Genealogy" by Jiang Weiguo, the later chairman of the Kuomintang.

Our descendants have not forgotten Zhang's ancestral home. After leaving the water of Qinghe River, most of the grandchildren who moved home and abroad have made their own brilliant achievements and are confident to contribute their strength to their ancestral home. Zhang Yunyou, president of the Singapore General Association, has invested 4 billion yuan to set up nearly 40 enterprises in China. After he came to his ancestral home, he saw that this hot land has a good environment, wide policies and strong popularity, as well as cashmere processing, auto parts, cemented carbide, refractories and other industries renowned at home and abroad. Therefore, he actively made friends and reached a cooperation intention with Yili Rubber & Plastic Group. At the same time, he expressed to the county leaders that he was willing to develop a thousand acres of Zhang's Pioneer Park in his ancestral home, providing a stage for overseas Zhang's descendants to return to the land of mulberry and create greater glories.

When Zhang Wenbiao, secretary-general of the World Zhang Clan Association, came to Qinghe to seek roots, he put forward his earnest hope: to build a foreign language school in Qinghe, and to train dual-purpose talents from the mainland and overseas under the sponsorship of overseas Zhang Clan Associations.

In recent years, Mr. Zhang Yihai, the president of the clan association, has been leading the clan groups to go out and strengthen the friendship of "consanguinity". He has traveled to "provincial relatives" in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanxi and Henan, and flew to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for many times to form friendship with overseas Zhang descendants, making more and more Zhang descendants at home and abroad familiar with Qinghe: they are proud of the historic changes in their ancestral home; More proudly, its ancestral home has become "the cashmere capital of China" and "the textile city of China". They pay more attention to and love the hot land of their ancestral home, and constantly contribute all their strength to the prosperity of their ancestral home.

The invention and creation of The Prodigal Son has promoted the progress of history and is one of the important epics of mankind. Hongchang's Zhang Wenhua is a memory of the ancients and enlightens the inheritance of future generations.

The civilization, prosperity and harmony of mankind began with the Yellow Emperor, and the masses who helped the Yellow Emperor create this prosperous and peaceful world should take the lead. That is to say, from this time on, the descendants of Huigong inherited the blood of their ancestors, worked hard and innovated constantly, and created a splendid culture of culture: bows and arrows, costumes, palaces, boats and cars, currency, farming, medicine, hunting, sericulture, spinning, bronzes, bamboo wares and pottery.

As the birthplace of Zhang, Qinghe County has done a lot of work in excavating historical resources and promoting Zhang culture. Lu Hongchang, secretary of the county party committee, said: "Carrying forward Zhang's history and culture is not only conducive to enhancing friendship at home and abroad, but also to enriching the motherland's culture; It is also conducive to expanding exchanges and cooperation between Qinghe and domestic and foreign industrial and commercial circles, and is conducive to putting Qinghe in a broader space and achieving better and faster development. " The high interpretation of history and culture makes them put the excavation and research of Zhang Wenhua in a higher position. 1998 August 18, Zhang Qinghe Institution was formally established. From then on, a group of people of insight in Qinghe began to spare no effort to explore. Drawing up the research topic and putting forward the grouping list, the members of the research association are on the move, racing against time and embarking on a long journey. Libraries in nine provinces and cities such as Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu and Hunan have left their footprints. Whether it is the apricot blossom spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River or the snowy Saibei, they have left their ancient books and painstaking efforts. In-depth excavation and research led them to compile works such as A Study of Zhang's History and Culture, Zhang's Genealogy and Its Migration. In order to further expand the authority and influence of the research on Zhang's culture in Qinghe, the Research Association invited Wang Daliang, Zhang, Zhang Senlin and other well-known experts on surname research at home and abroad and representatives of Zhang's clansmen at home and abroad as consultants to edit and publish Research magazine. Difficult exploration and research enable them to verify one fact after another and deny one fact that distorts history. For example, in some places, in order to expand the influence of the region, regardless of historical facts, the film capture is said to be Zhang's birthplace. In order to clarify the fallacy, they read a lot of historical materials, and finally clarified that the so-called origin of Zhang surname in Henan and Shanxi was only the ancestor of Zhang surname. For example, the historical basis of Zhang Shanxi Taiyuan's statement is that the grandson of Hua Gong was "Shuizheng" when he was Emperor Xiang and moved to Taiyuan, Shanxi. After his death, he was named the god of mountains and rivers and was worshipped all over the world. The descendants who moved to other places to take root can only be branch ancestors, and their place can never be said to be Zhang's birthplace. The efforts have been richly rewarded, and a large number of research results have come out one after another. As the birthplace of Zhang, Qinghe has become an irrefutable fact in the face of a large number of historical materials.

While studying Zhang's culture in depth, Qinghe County began to plan and rebuild the landmark buildings representing Zhang's culture in view of the endless stream of Zhang's root-seeking people at home and abroad. According to textual research, in the Han Dynasty, the Zhang ancestral hall in Qinghe still existed, but after several vicissitudes, the Han culture layer had already been buried under the surface of 10 meter. According to the overall positioning of "building a shrine to the south of Qinghe", Qinghe County decided to rebuild the ancestral temple in Qinghe Forest Park in the west of the city 15 Huali.

In June 2002, Zhang Qinghe Research Association specially studied the ancestral temple restoration project designed by Xingtai Architectural Design Institute. In September, the design institute made the elevation renderings, and the research society distributed the design draft of "China Qinghe Hall" to the Zhang clan organizations around the world, and explained the name, location, design and investment budget of the ancestral hall one by one. As soon as the draft for comments came out, it caused strong repercussions among Zhang people around the world. They are highly responsible for the landmark buildings of their ancestral homes, and all kinds of suggestions are flying like snowflakes. Mr. Zhang Senlin, vice president of the World Zhang Association, sent a letter to the seminar and put forward constructive suggestions on the reconstruction of the ancestral temple. On the basis of fully soliciting the opinions of clan representatives at home and abroad, Qinghe Zhangshe revised the original design greatly and resubmitted it to the design institute for design. At the same time, various construction activities began immediately. In March 2004, 20 mu of pine forest was planted around Zhang Hui's tomb, and the Hui cemetery was restored. Zhang people at home and abroad also expressed great enthusiasm for the construction of ancestral temples and donated money to help each other.

Traditional culture shines brightly. Strong cultural construction boosts Qinghe's innovation and brilliance!

Zhang's relatives at home and abroad have also said that they will spare no effort to contribute their intelligence and wisdom to promoting cross-strait exchanges and developing the economy of their ancestral home country for the benefit of the country and the nation.
