Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Confucianism has always occupied the dominant position in China's thought and literature. If Confucianism before the Han Dynasty was "a hundred schools of thought contend", then after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented "to oust a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", only Confucianism was left in China. In ancient Confucian ethics, loyalty and filial piety were equally important, and "benevolence and filial piety" was advocated, which had a great binding force on ancient people's thoughts and behaviors, so ancient people's family concept was very profound. And this concept still occupies a dominant position in modern times.

order

The sentence "After the governor, after the governor, after the governor, after the sincerity, after the sincerity, after the integrity, after the integrity, after the integrity, after the integrity, after the governance, the world is at peace" is the original text that we often say on weekdays. Home in this sentence refers to home. In ancient times, it was thought that the family was a whole, with one glory and one loss.

In ancient times, the prosperity of family concept was also related to the social environment at that time. Ancient medicine was underdeveloped, and the neonatal mortality rate was particularly high, and they rarely lived to adulthood. In this case, people who are related by blood can only unite slowly and help each other to survive in the society at that time. After several generations of reproduction, they gradually became a huge family. The strongest ancestral temple in China is surrounded by the top 500 in the world. The villagers directly said: Who dares to move and buy you directly?

First, the origin of the ancestral temple

The so-called ancestral temple is a place built by the family to worship ancestors. The ancients thought that after death, if there was no ranking, people would become ghosts. Without the incense of their descendants, they would be poor and miserable all their lives. Therefore, the ancients paid special attention to the inheritance of incense, and the concept of "son preference" was mostly due to this concept.

After the death of the ancients, Rank can enter the ancestral temple to receive incense offerings from later generations, but if he is disobedient and unfilial, he will be expelled from the genealogy. After death, Rank cannot enter the ancestral temple and become a lonely soul. Some big family ancestral temple ranks several hundred, and the number of ancestral temples also represents the rise and fall of family population to some extent. Ancient families were extremely large. If you count the nine families in the TV series, the nine families contain at least 3000 people.

Second, Zheng ancestral hall

With the development of society, people are no longer short of clothes and food, and the survival rate of newborns is greatly improved. The ancient family concept gradually faded in people's minds, and the ancestral hall gradually withdrew from the historical stage. Although many ancestral temples in our country have long since ceased to exist after years of baptism, some ancestral temples have been completely preserved.

The most representative is the Zheng Ancestral Hall in China, Guangdong and Shenzhen. It is the strongest ancestral temple in China, surrounded by Fortune 500 companies. Villager: Who dares to buy you directly? This ancestral hall has a history of more than 700 years. The ancestors of the Zheng family came from the north to settle in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, where they got married and had children.

This ancestral temple was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and has been in disrepair for hundreds of years. However, Zheng's descendants restored the ancestral temple in order to understand the difficulty of their ancestors' entrepreneurship. In order not to destroy the original style of the ancestral hall, the descendants of Zheng specially only repaired the outer wall of the ancestral hall, and the interior still maintained the architectural design style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Third, the acquisition storm.

As we all know, the housing price in Shenzhen is increasing day by day, and the location of Zheng's ancestral hall is an excellent geographical location in Shenzhen. Tencent, Konka, Skyworth and other Fortune 500 companies are gathered around Zheng's ancestral hall. Such a wonderful geographical location will inevitably make people feel excited and want to buy the Zheng ancestral hall. The acquirer put forward very favorable conditions for the people in Zheng Ancestral Hall, hoping to successfully acquire the Ancestral Hall, but no one in Zheng Ancestral Hall was moved by the temptation of the acquirer.
