Is Dong Zhongshu from Xi?

Dong Zhongshu's hometown was first recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records, saying that "Dong Zhongshu is also from Guang Chuan." Dong Zhongshu lives in Guang Chuan and Guang Chuan County. Does Sima Qian mean Guang Chuan, Guang Chuan or Guang Chuan? Ban Biao, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said that Sima Qian meant Guang Chuan County, not Guang Chuan Kingdom. That is, Dong Zhongshu is from Guang Chuan County. Jiajing's "Zaoqiang County Records" in the Ming Dynasty contains: Han, Zaoqiang spread widely and abandoned clutch, which was originally one of them. According to the examination, its territory roughly includes one in the southeast, one in the south, one in the west, the middle, east and north, the southwest corner of Jinxing County and the northwest corner of Gucheng County. Guang Chuan in ancient Han Dynasty is today's Zhuang jujube. Dong Zhongshu's hometown is the old county village in Zaoqiang County today, according to the following:

1, in recent years, the stone lintel of Dong Shi Ancestral Hall in Qing Dynasty and its rubbings were found in Jiuxian Village, marked with the words "Rebuilding Auspiciousness and Ugliness". That is, in the sixth year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (A.D. 10 13), the reconstruction means that there used to be "Dong Shi Ancestral Hall" here. The ancestral temple is a family temple where people worship their ancestors.

2, Ming' Jizhou Zhi' contains: There are' four famous temples' in the west of the old county village, commonly known as' Xixiong Temple'. Formerly known as the place where Dong Zi gave lectures. Hejian Kingdom recommended King Liu De to build it. The temple was destroyed in the late Qing dynasty, and the site still exists, protruding from the ground. There is rubble everywhere. The villagers dug up a pottery lampstand here, which read "disciples holding candles" and tirelessly taught people. It was used by Dong Zhongshu in his lectures.

Dong Zhongshu lives in Chang 'an. My hometown, Dongshi, is dying out. Dong Shi Ancestral Hall, his former residence, was destroyed, and later generations built Dongzi Temple on the original site. It was rebuilt in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1608), and it was carved with a stone statue of Dong Zhongshu sitting. A statue (about 2 meters high) was given inside, and it still exists after being destroyed. 1982 is a provincial cultural relics protection unit in Hebei province. 1987, in order to protect the stone statues, Dongzi Temple was rebuilt on the original site. There is also a legend about Dong Zhongshu's stone statue being placed in Houjiu county and village. He said that after the stone statue was carved in Xishan Mountain, it was transported to Dongguzhuang Village for resettlement, but it was transported to Brewmaster Village. "It was too heavy to lift, so I left it." In this regard, old friends disagree. If Dong Zhongshu was born in Dongguzhuang village, how could he abandon the ancestral stones of other villages? Dongjiazhuang village is two or three miles away from the old county, and it has arrived all the way. Can't it be transported nearby? Is it meaningless? !

4. "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" records that Dong Zhongshu had a son named Fu Qi, who was mistakenly regarded as unfilial and drove out of the house to go to Dong Zhongshu's good friend Wang Shanyou, who was four or five miles away from the old county. After Wang Shanyou died, Dong continued to live in this village. In the Ming Dynasty's Zaoqiang County Records, Wang Shanyou had this person. But there is no life text. Because the sound of "goodness" is the same as "longevity", Houcun was renamed Wang Shou. Later, it evolved into two villages: Qianwangshou and Houwangshou. Now 95% of the two villages are Dong people. In ancient times, Wang Shou lived in Dongshi, surrounded by Sugu and Puzhuang, and gathered in front of the "Dongshi Ancestral Temple" in the old county to worship his ancestors. Still in modern times. Wang Shoucun preserved the genealogy rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and took Dong Zhongshu as his ancestor.

There have always been objections to the statement that "the three mu of land occupied by Dongjiazhuang Primary School is Dong Zhongshu's hometown". During the Tang and Song Dynasties, all the villages in this area were silted up and buried underground. In the Western Han Dynasty, Dongjiazhuang was also difficult to exist on the ground. The old county village in the Western Han Dynasty was once a county government, but it remained unchanged for 500 years. Up to now, the ground has protruded a lot, and there are rubble everywhere. It is suspected that the old county village and Dongjiazhuang village were originally a village, which was separated from the old county village. But in what age? No evidence has been found so far.
