Where is my ancestral home?

Lin was originally from the Shang Dynasty.

3/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Zhou Wang, a tyrant of Shang Dynasty, was bewitched by his beloved concubine da ji. He once gave him a terrible punishment than his loyal father who didn't give advice for three days. As a result, Zhou Wang not only lost one of his most loyal ministers, but also killed his elders' indifference to human feelings, resulting in the abandonment of heaven and man, which eventually accelerated the downfall of Shang Dynasty. According to later scholars' research, Bi Gan, a loyal minister who died of Zhou Wang's heart abuse, was the ancestor of Lin Wanwan, Qian Qian.

About this origin, there are positive and detailed records in many ancient books. For example, the History of Taoism says: "Yin Biganzi took refuge in the mountain of Changlin because of his family"; "Compilation of Surnames" pointed out: "After Yin Taiding, Prince Bigan was killed by Zhou, and his son resolutely fled Changlin Mountain, hence the surname Lin. Lu Fang, disciple. " Zuo Zhuan contains historical records of Lin Yong, Lin Bukui, Lin Chu and Dai, and Zuo Zhuan says that the leader of Lin Chu is the best of Ji.

Another Preface to the Compilation of Jin 'an Genealogy also pointed out: "Lin gave birth to his son, and Yin died after being remonstrated. His son fled to Changlin, gave his surname Lin, ate in Boling, and lived in Zhou, Lu, Qi and Wei. During the Warring States Period, people in Zhao's position began to live in Jiumen (now Hebei Province). Qin and Zhao merged and moved to Qixian and Zouxian (both in present-day Shandong Province). Han settled in Sanqin, divided into Zouxian and set up Jinan, so he was a native of Jinan. Xiapi (in today's Jiangsu Province) is followed by Lin.

Based on the above three documents, the context of Lin is very clear. They are descendants of Shang Tang, an ancient sage. The direct ancestor of Shang Tang is Shao Shi Bigen, who was killed by Zhou Wang in 1 123 BC. Bi Gan is the son of Shang Emperor Taiding, and he is a brother with his father Taiyi, so he should be Zhou Wang's uncle. When he was killed for his advice, his son fled to Changlin Mountain. Soon after, Zhou Wuwang destroyed the ridge and made it a national god. Give his descendants a surname of Lin and eat it in Boling (now Anping County, Hebei Province).

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, their descendants were scattered in Shandong, Henan and other places in the north. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, they gradually lived in Jinan, Shandong Province, and merged into a noble family, and gradually propagated to the south. By the time Jinshi went south, there were already traces of forests in Jiangnan, and by the time of Tang and Song Dynasties, people had spread all over Fujian.

During the reign of Xian Tai, there were many meritorious figures about Lin in history books. For example, when the sage Confucius traveled around the world, he met an old man who was "singing and gleaning" in defending the country. Under Zi Gong's inquiry, he led to a sentence: "Death is contrary to life, so the deceased today knows whether he is alive or not ... and he knows that he is not confused when he is alive, and that his death today is not the last life." This wise rural old man lived an ordinary and thorough life. His surname was Lin, and he was one of the early outstanding foresters.

In the Qing Dynasty, everyone was very familiar with Lin Zexu's deeds. He resolutely destroyed more than 2 million Jin of British opium, making Guangdong's defense impregnable and leaving the British army with no choice but to cross the line. The corrupt Qing court exiled him to Yili after ceding land compensation according to the Opium War Treaty. The story of his brilliant work there has been sincerely admired and respected by everyone, and it will always exist and shine with the sun and the moon.

The original meaning of the word "Lin" is a piece of trees, and the origin of Lin is related to the Woods. Lin's family has formed Xihe, Jinan, Xiapi, Jin 'an, Nan 'an and other counties since his son's surname was Bi Gan. Lin ranks 16 in contemporary surnames. Its birthplace is now Weihui City, Henan Province.

Weihui City, Henan Province is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains (Zhongzhou). Counties and counties were established in the second year of Emperor Gaozu, also known as Weizhou City, and were governed by the state, the road, the government and the road. 1948 Jixian County was liberated and Weihui City was established. It is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and the north bank of the Yellow River. Since ancient times, Weizhou has been an important town in northern Henan, known as "ten provinces in Nantong and China in the north".
