Detailed explanation of the six famous families in present-day Shaanxi Province during the Tang Dynasty

Through reading the history of the Tang Dynasty and before, we found that there were so many aristocratic families in Shaanxi. In other words, there were countless famous families living in the two capitals (Chang'an and Luoyang) and the corridor between the two capitals. What has developed is that more and more local families are moving closer to the central government and gathering in the capital. They all want to complete a gorgeous turn and become a national aristocratic family by getting closer to the central government. Based on the distribution of various prominent families in historical materials, we have initially sorted out the six prominent families who served as county commanders in today's Shaanxi Province during the Tang Dynasty. This does not include the families who moved to the imperial capital during the Tang Dynasty. Jingzhao Weishi: Jingzhao Weishi was one of the most important gentry families in the Tang Dynasty. It was very influential in the Jingzhao area of ??the Tang Dynasty. There is a folk saying ""Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu". His family was born in In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, it became a member of the Guanlong gentry during the Cao Wei period. During the Sixteen Kingdoms and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Jingzhao Wei family gradually got rid of regional restrictions and became a gentry family with national influence. "The four surnames in Guanzhong" are Wei Pei. Liu Xue was the main gentry leader in the Guanzhong area in the mid-Tang Dynasty. He was mainly famous in the Guanzhong area, including the Jingzhao Wei family, Hedong Xue family, Hedong Pei family, and Hedong Liu family. These four surnames were used to be called "" Guanzhong. "Four Surnames". The Four Surnames of Guanzhong are representatives of the gentry in the Guanzhong region during the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China. The development of the Four Surnames of Guanzhong is also the direction indicator for the development of the gentry in the entire Guanzhong region. Wei Gao, a famous general who defeated the 480,000 Tibetan army and stabilized the southwest, came from this family. Jingzhao Weishi produced 20 prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and his influence spread from Jingzhao to the whole country. Jingzhao Du clan: It was a noble clan with Jingzhao County as its commandery in the Middle Ages of China. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jingzhao Du clan became Guanzhong County. One of the surnames. The lineage of the Jingzhao Du family can be traced back to Du Zhou, the imperial censor of the Western Han Dynasty. Du Zhou originally lived in Nanyang (now Nanyang, Henan Province, China), and was moved to Maoling (now Xingping, Shaanxi Province) as a wealthy family. His son Du Yannian moved to Du Ling (now south of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province). Most of the Du family in Jingzhao were officials in the past dynasties, and there were many celebrities. The great poet Du Mu came from this family. The Fufeng Dou family followed Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty and started their career with military exploits. Dou Rong, A large number of prominent nobles, including Dou Xian, became a family of relatives that had been inherited for hundreds of years. After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Fufeng Dou family still had considerable military merit, so it still played an important role in the political arena and military activities. It was still a prominent figure in the Tang Dynasty. The famous Ma family in Fufeng: During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Ma Tong family was moved from Handan to Maoling, Fufeng, Shaanxi Province. Since Ma Tong moved to Fufeng, Shaanxi Province, the Ma family is the representative of the wealthy relatives in the Guanzhong area. One of the Xing family, the Ma family has been married to the royal family for generations, and has become a prominent family. General Fubo, Ma Yuan, a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty, pacified the southwest and conquered Jiaozhi (now Vietnam). He made outstanding achievements and was granted the title of Xinxihou in the Tang Dynasty. After generations, the Fufeng Ma family is still a prominent family, and its prominence is still the same. Jingzhao Wang family: It is said that its first sister was Wei Gongzi Wuji during the Warring States Period. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Wuji's descendants fled to Mount Tai. The surname was Wang. In the Western Han Dynasty, the surname Wang of Taishan was moved to Baling (now northeast of Xi'an, Shaanxi), so the place belonged to Jingzhao Yin, and was later called the Wang surname of Jingzhao. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname Wang was the most popular. There are three famous families: the first is the Langxie Wang family, the second is the Taiyuan Wang family, and the third is the Jingzhao Wang family. This is actually the ranking of the Wang family at that time. The Jingzhao Song family: the wealthy families in Guandong moved to their residence during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In Guanzhong, a branch of the Henan Song family moved to Jingzhao and developed into the Jingzhao Song family, becoming a prominent family that lasted until the Tang Dynasty. Most of the famous families in Shaanxi Province had a distinctive feature. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the wealthy families from Guandong were moved to Guanzhong, and they gradually developed into more prominent families and became famous families. This continued. In order to stabilize the world, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally moved the wealthy families from Shandong inland to control them and weaken their local influence. To reduce their separatist nature, unexpectedly, this created a large number of famous families in Guanzhong. In other words, these families were a blessing in disguise. After moving inland, they were able to have more direct contact with the central government and were directly promoted from local noble families to central noble families. It is more conducive to the reproduction and growth of the family and will continue.
