The Nangong of Literature and History-The Nangong White House says three things.

When it comes to the White House in Nangong, people in Nangong who have a little knowledge of literature and history will think of Bai Gui and Baiyue's family in Zhu Ming Dynasty, ranking first, second and third in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War and Ministry of Rites, and "Father Tsuguko carelessly followed the history of two generations and six dynasties, and his brother followed the history of four generations". Although times have changed, the People's Government of Hebei Province listed Nangong Baijia Cemetery as a provincial cultural relics protection unit in June 2008. Taking this as a symbol, the glory and glory of the Bai family were finally recognized again in the form of official documents. As I participated in this work, I think it is necessary to briefly introduce the history, tombs and anecdotes of the Bai family in order to promote the Nangong culture.

Let's talk about history first. The origin of Bai surname is complicated, and it is said that it comes from several disunited tribes. The discussions and inferences in Tracing the Origin of Surnames, Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames, Yuanming Newspaper and General History of Surnames in China are also different. However, it is generally believed that Bai Fu, the cultural ancestor of Bai surname, was the minister of the tribal leader of Jiang surname (Shennong) in northern China, who made great contributions to the water control of the tribe, and his descendants took Bai as their surname. Because it first developed in Nanyang, Henan Province, Nanyang is recognized as the county of Bai surname.

Bai Shangshu's family was originally from Cizhou (now Cixian County, Hebei Province) and moved to Qin Long (now Yanqing County, Hebei Province) to avoid chaos. Bai Gui's grandfather, Bai Jinzhong, resigned at the end of the Yuan Dynasty for fear of social unrest, and his family moved to the Nangong, a calm mansion, and lived a stable life.

Bai Gui was born in the 17th year of Yongle (A.D. 14 19), which brought new life to this wealthy family. In the sixth year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy (A.D. 144 1), Bai Gui passed the provincial examination, and in the eighth year of's orthodoxy, he was awarded Jiangxi Taoist Supervisor's Imperial History (the seventh grade). It is rare for a scholar to directly teach the history of an ancient scholar. Bai Gui's Feeling Grateful and Tired Day and Night (Sound, Meaning, Tired) (Dr. Zheng Zhi, imperial academy University, Liu Ji, President of National History, Senior Minister and Official Minister Yin? Shu Dan's Tombstone of Bai Gui Meiji), after four dynasties of Yingzong, Daizong, Yingzong and Xianzong, toured suspected prisons in Shanxi, from expelling Yingzong to "the change of civil castles", recruiting pigs in east temple, Guizhou, netting all parties in Shaanxi, and deciding the rebellion of Jingxiang thief Liu Qianjin, he was promoted continuously until Ming Yingzong in the seventh year of Tianshun (AD 60) and Xianzong in the third year (AD/KL) At the age of 56, he died in Chenghua ten years. "On the smell of funeral, sacrifice, and direct (negative, send money) note (voice, string currency). Give it to Dr. Rong Lu, Shao Fu and Shi (ditto). According to the regulations of "all above seven products are given priority" and "great-grandfather, grandfather and father are all like their children" (the first official in Ming Dynasty), after Bai Gui became an official, his grandparents and parents were given "preferential treatment" and gifts repeatedly. His grandfather, Bai Jinzhong, gave him the position of senior minister, and his father, Bai You, gave his son a good doctor.

Bai Yue, the son of Bai Gui, was born in Jingtai, Ming Daizong for five years (A.D. 1454). He was a scholar in the twenty years of Chenghua, and was awarded editing by imperial academy. He was moved to a bachelor's degree and a lecturer in the East Palace (five grades), and was promoted to a bachelor's degree (four grades) and a lecturer in Zheng De for two years (A.D. 1507). Zheng De died in October of five years at the age of 57. I was deeply saddened when I heard the obituary. I went to the DPRK to offer my condolences, sent Ambassador China (eunuch) to assist in the burial, and gave posthumous gifts to Prince Taibao (the first product) and Yu Wen who ordered the funeral for the company. In December, I sent a letter to Hong Fei, the minister of does.

After that, although the Bai clan people were not as good as Bai Gui and Bai Yue, they were favored by them and became generals on the battlefield. There are many sages in the temple, but few in Ding Bai. They were brilliant until the end of the Ming Dynasty. According to the records of Nangong County, there are only six archways in the East and West Second Streets of Nangong County. Up to now, there is still an ivory water board and waist tag used by Bai Gui and Bai Juchao, as well as four imperial edicts and 10 portraits of the Ming Dynasty, showing the glory of the past.

Let's talk about the tomb first. Baijia Cemetery is located in the west of Xibaita Village, Zizhong Town. It is 400 meters long from east to west and 400 meters long from north to south, covering an area of 240 mu. Among them, the east of Bai Gui Cemetery 120 mu was given by Xian Zong, and the west of Bailuo Cemetery 120 mu was given by Wu Zong. This is a huge tomb group. After Bai Jinzhong moved to Nangong at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the Bai family died here, and more than 100 people were knighted. It's hard to say how many tombs there are in the whole cemetery. There are 1 1 such as Platinum Bell, Bai Youliang, Bai Gui and Bai Yue. According to the relevant historical records and the memories of the Bai family, the Bai cemetery is very spectacular, surrounded by walls, and pines and cypresses are all over the cemetery. There are four earth mountains in the southeast and northwest of Baijinzhong Tomb, which are called the four famous mountains as artificial feng shui. From east to west, it is my grandfather Bai Jinzhong, my father Bai Youliang, my uncle Bai Youzhi, (the third son), Qin (the eldest son), Yan (the second son) and Xuan (the fourth son). Bai Gui Shinto is located in the southeast corner of the easternmost part of the cemetery, Bai Youliang Shinto is located in the west of Bai Gui Shinto, in the Bai Gui Royal Cemetery, and Bai Yue's tomb is located in the west of his ancestral home. Its tomb is located in the west of the north side of the cemetery, with four famous mountains and a line for practicing Shinto in the south. On both sides of the three Shinto roads, there are beautifully carved stone statues, stone horses, stone lions, stone monkeys and stone sheep. Since then, the burial system has changed, and the coffin burial has been changed to "grab the cave burial", that is, the burial place of the deceased has no fixed point, as long as it is in this 240-mu royal cemetery, it can be buried at will, which is regarded as guarding the ancestors. With the change of family background, its economic situation is declining. In the eighth year of Xianfeng (AD 1858), the trees in the cemetery were sold again in the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China (AD 1935). The stone cultural relics in the cemetery were destroyed in 1947, and the Cultural Revolution rose in 1966, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Zizhu commune sent people to smash all the stone cultural relics in the cemetery. Some big stones are used to cushion pits and pave roads, some are tied to livestock and pig pens, and some are secretly buried underground. Today, there are still many broken stone tools on the roadside of Nanbaitacun Street. 1970, Xingtai area propaganda team destroyed Bai Gui's tomb. Due to the full protection of the whole family, old and young, and there is nothing valuable in the tomb, it was not completely opened. 1977 all the walls and heaped mountains around the cemetery have been leveled. 1In September 1982, the Cultural Relics Department of Xingtai District Cultural Bureau issued the Cultural Relics Protection Certificate for the cemetery.1In May 1986, Nangong Municipal People's Government issued a document as a key cultural relics protection unit at the county level.

There are many interesting anecdotes, such as "it's ok to get a first-class official", "Toads in front of the Baijia Temple dare not scream", "The land moves", "The jujube in Xidige Baijia Temple refuses to eat", "Take a look at the well in Shili Road" and "There are no thorns in front of the Qin family grave". In particular, "Toads in front of the White House Temple dare not scream" is particularly amazing. It is said that one summer afternoon, teenage Bai Gui was studying at home. But the toad in the puddle in front of his temple was too noisy to enter the country, so he angrily ran to the pit and pointed at the toad in the pit and scolded, "Stop singing! If you dare to scream again, I will drive you all away! " As soon as the voice fell, the pit was silent, and no toad sang any more. And since then, the toad in this pit has stopped singing, but it will sing when it jumps into other pits, and the toads in other pits will lose their voices as soon as they arrive at this pit. On April 18, 2007, I applied for the provincial insurance unit for the cemetery, and went to Nanbaita for investigation with Wang Yingbo, deputy county-level cadre of the municipal government, and Zhang, director of the Cultural Insurance Institute. I ask this, the village? The 68-year-old Bai Taichang swore that it was true and led me to the pit to watch it on the spot, because the pit was dry and there was no toad, so I couldn't confirm it.

(? In June, 2008, 165438+ 10, in the name of "Nangong Baijia Cemetery", was listed in the fifth batch of provincial cultural relics protection units of Hebei Provincial People's Government.
