The high places are covered with lush grass, and the low places are called Julu." After careful investigation, he submitted to the imperial court the essay "No farmland with adequate wages, no water conservancy in farmland", advocating that the north follow the example of the south in building water conservancy and planting rice. And put forward the "three reasons" (one is the weather, the second is the geographical advantage, and the third is the human relationship), and the "fourteen proposals" (the first is to dredge the river, the second is to dredge the canal, the third is to divert the water, the fourth is to build a dam, the fifth is to build a sluice, The sixth discussion is to set up a fortress, the seventh is to compare, the eighth is to build a pond, the ninth is to recruit people, the tenth is to build a field, the eleventh is to recruit wealth and establish a title, the twelfth is to choose people, the thirteenth is to choose generals, and the fourteenth is to discuss troops.

He also warned the court: In the future, when the government evaluates the performance of officials, it should focus on farmland water conservancy infrastructure. If farmland is abandoned, it will Even if it is impressive in other aspects, it can only be classified as inferior. Thanks to Guangdou's advocacy and personal actions, the vast, desolate and inhabited barren land was turned into a rice granary. Guangdou knows people well and uses them well, and he tried his best to recommend Shi Kefa. In order to revitalize the imperial court, he fought a life-and-death struggle with Wei Zhongxian and others. Guangdou once listed 32 crimes that Wei Zhongxian should be executed for.

Yang

The origin of the surname:

Comes from the surname Ji. King Zhou Cheng named his younger brother Shu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, and he was known as Tang Shu Yu. After Tang Shuyu's son Xie succeeded to the throne, he was renamed Jinhou because there was Jinshui in Tang Dynasty. Shangfu, the son of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, was named Marquis of Yang during the reign of King You. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin destroyed Yang, and Yang became the fiefdom of the Jin State. At that time, Duke Wu of Jin (the 10th grandson of Xie) granted the title of Marquis of Yang to his second son Boqiao, who was the ancestor of the people with the surname Yang. Bo Qiao's grandson Tu ate food from sheep's tongue and became the doctor of Yang's tongue. He was named the Yang's tongue family. Tuzhi's Sun Jie, also known as Shuxiang, was entrusted to the Yang family town because of his meritorious service in Dai Jin Dynasty. His son Bo Shi took the name of the town and called him the Yang family. In 514 BC, the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Yangyu clan, and one of Boshi's sons fled to the Fairy Valley of Huashan Mountain. He then lived in Huayin and was called the Yang family. In history, it was called the Yang family's authentic sect.

Comes from the given surname. During the Three Kingdoms period, after Zhuge Liang pacified the Ailao Yi (a branch of the Liao tribe in Hunan and Guizhou), he gave the local ethnic minorities the surnames Zhao, Zhang, Yang, and Li.

From his surname to Yang. For example, people with the surname Lin from Fujian changed their surname to Yang after moving to Meizhou, Guangdong. "History of the North" records that Yang Yichen's original surname was Weichi, which was later changed to Yang.

Change the surname from another clan. For example, after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, he implemented Sinicization, and some surnames with three northern characters, Mohulu, were changed to Yang.

Gathering place:

Migration distribution

The birthplace of the Yang surname is in present-day Shanxi Province. After Yang was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, his descendants developed and multiplied westward, first moving to Shaanxi, and then to the Huo County area in the upper reaches of Fenshui River in Shanxi Province, and then multiplied to the present day in Henan Province, becoming the mainstream of the development of the Yang surname in later generations. By the Han Dynasty, the Yang surname had been widely distributed in most parts of northern my country. It was also at this time that people surnamed Yang entered Sichuan, mostly from Hubei and Shaanxi provinces. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yang clan moved south to the Jianghan area (today's Qianjiang area in Hubei Province). Later, due to the increasing power of the Chu State, they were forced to move southeast to Jiangxi. At the same time, some Yang families moved from Shanxi to Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and then spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The period of Jin and Tang was an important period for the Yang family to multiply in the north and south, especially in the south. During this period, the Central Plains was mostly caused by the "Yongjia Rebellion" in the late Western Jin Dynasty and the "Anshi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty. The Yang family moved southward on a large scale. Since the Song Dynasty, the Yang family has been widely distributed in the vast area south of the Yangtze River, with Fujian as the center of spread and migration. In short, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the people of the Yang surname were not only concentrated in the three provinces of Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, but also had a line centered on Tianshui, Gansu, and another line centered on Hunan and Jiangxi. After that, it gradually developed to Hebei, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Anhui, Hunan, eastern Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places, until it was incorporated into all parts of the country.

Taiwan’s Yang has also become the tenth most common surname in Taiwan today. The ancestor of the Yang family who came to Taiwan was Yang Xiangzhai from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. He was the first to enter Taiwan and brought the Yang surname to Taiwan. Later, during the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong years of the Qing Dynasty, Yang families continued to enter Taiwan to cultivate and settle.
