The Story of Chencun Ⅱ: The Fusion of Three Surnames

As a village, iron camps and mobile soldiers, just like camps, will never move there, and families with various surnames will take root, survive, develop and change here like soldiers. There is always the possibility of guarding the battle and the opportunity for change. If they are poor, they will think about change or pursue poetry, and they will go further in their growth and development. No matter how far they go, it is certain that this village is home. ? Chencun, the name of a village in Mo Wen, really comes from the struggle and struggle of all descendants. The password of its background is human blood and family ties. This blood is thicker than water, which inspires the potential of each generation and condenses into an inexhaustible force, supporting the continuous development and growth of this village and gaining people's praise. ?

? Chencun in history is a village with mixed surnames. It is said that there were more than three surnames before the Song Dynasty, such as Jiao, Bai and Yan. In the process of the change of surnames, the types of surnames have been increasing, and so far they have increased to "Chen, Jiang, Guo, Han, Ma, He, Zhu, Zhang, Yang, Liu, Liang, Wang, Ren, Chang, Li and Wang". ?

? The earliest human migration was due to the natural climate.

Environmental changes and natural migration, such as ancient China people entering the Yellow River from Linfen, have successively formed large social and cultural centers in Linfen (Pingyang), Luoyang, Anyang and Xianyang (against the Yellow River) along the Yellow River. Among surname tribes, the number of people forced to migrate due to wars between tribes has increased. Especially after the feudal system was implemented in the Zhou Dynasty, the name of the country or fief was taken as the surname, and the surname increased sharply. By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars and mergers between vassals had intensified. Until the unification of Qin dynasty, the cultural center was in Beijing, and the surname migration mainly depended on the government policy or the expansion of surname family. War, plague, famine, disaster and survival and prosperity have always been the themes of surname migration. ?

? Chencun changed his surname for the above reasons. According to legend, the earliest three surnames, Jiao, Bai and Yan, all moved in before the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Legendary stories and place names named after surnames all show that these families have developed well here. Jiao Yuanwai, Yan and Bai Jialing also proved that these families were famous in the local area at that time, although there was only an earlier Bai surname left. Bai is the first surname among all surnames living in Chencun at present, and the other two surnames may have a better prospect of emigration and extinction, because Jiao Bai and Yan are still the most popular surnames in surrounding counties such as Hongdong in Fenxi. Song Yuanming changed his surname during the hundred-year war, especially the Hongdong earthquake in Yuan Dynasty (1303), which may be the real reason for breaking the change of Chencun surnames.

Chencun's surname changed three times. The first big surname change was after the Yuan Dynasty earthquake, when Chen moved in from Fenyang County. It is said that Chen's ancestors moved in with their descendants after the earthquake. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, many immigrants moved to Shandong and Henan, followed by Jiang, and Guo and Han also joined around the Qing Dynasty. Three years after Guangxu, the population changed its surname for the second time, and the population affected by the famine and plague decreased (Fenxi chronicles recorded that the population of the whole county was 1.3 million before the disaster and only 30,000 after the disaster), and the degree of human nature distortion was unprecedented. People from neighboring villages and counties moved in more, such as Ma, Zhuanghe in Majiazhuang and Zhu, Zhang and Yang in Zhujiazhuang, all during this period. The third time I changed my surname was from the Republic of China to the liberation period, mainly because of the famine and turmoil caused by the war. There are many people fleeing from Henan and other places, such as Li, Gao, Xu, Liu, Zhang, Wu and Su, and most of them are single families. Chencun accepted these people with foreign surnames with great tolerance, and their surnames reached the highest point. There are many sources of Chencun's surname, among which Mo Wen's fame and civilized, tolerant and hospitable village style are the main reasons. For example, surnames from other provinces include Zhang, Liu, Li, Su, Xu, Wu, Gao and Xia. , mostly from Henan, Shandong and Shaanxi provinces, of which Xia was originally from Anhui, Xia Jingbo was a Kuomintang officer, graduated from Huangpu Military Academy, and settled because of his connection with Benjiang's surname. Other counties include (Lingshi), Jiashi and Ren Shi (Fenxi). Many of them come from neighboring villages. Some surnames are divided into several branches and come from different places. Jia, Chang, Xia and Liang who joined Chencun through friends or in-laws. No matter what kind of surname, there is a foothold in Chencun, and they can reproduce and take root. ?

? Each surname has its profound family culture and unique survival skills, such as Liu and Li's ironing skills, Jia and Zhang's knitting skills, Ma's old Chinese medicine practitioner and Li's Catholic beliefs. Some of them learn from teachers, some save lives, some burn bricks and build kilns, some teach and educate people, and so on. , greatly enriched rural life. I remember that Li Tongxin's iron furniture was very famous in the old society. He wrote many wall slogans in the village, and he is worthy of being a classmate of Huangpu. Mr. Ma's medical villagers are still praising him today. They have enriched the lives of villagers, added luster to Chencun and enhanced the reputation of Chencun in Mo Wen.

The increase and integration of surnames greatly promoted the development of agriculture in this village. Such as Han surname, Ma surname, Zhu surname and He surname, stationed on the gully slope in the west of the village to reclaim land and manage mountains and rivers. It is conducive to the benign reproduction and development of species clusters to enhance communication, exchange marriage and choose nearby, that is, to close neighborhood relations and expand the choice of marriage with different surnames. Different family education traditions, different living habits and different survival skills interact, interweave and merge with each other, generating new sparks and condensing into new strength, which supports Chencun to move towards the future.

? In Chencun now, most people who sleep in Xishan Villa live in the village, and all kinds of surnames can get along well. Although some families with surnames later moved back to their original homes, some descendants of surnames have already left Chencun and no longer live here, just like a new generation of Chencun people left the countryside, moved to cities, moved to all corners of the country, and some crossed the ocean and took root all over the world, but there are still as many as 20 surnames in Chencun. I believe that the population surname will change faster than any period in history, and its influence will be more extensive and far-reaching. The key point is that this change will bring the good style and tradition of Chencun in Mo Wen to every place and carry it forward, which will also make Chencun in Mo Wen famous.
