The Pei family in Hedong has flourished for thousands of years.

? Pei made his fortune in Luanchuan (now Lantian, Shaanxi Province), moved to Anyi, Hedong County (now Xiaxian County, Shaanxi Province) when Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty moved to Wenxi. He is a well-known family in the feudal society of China for two thousand years. Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. From Tang Gaozong to Tang Zhaozong, there are 65,438+07 prime ministers. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Pei Zongci became the governor. In the past two thousand years, there have been few Pei families, many celebrities, many family figures and many moral articles. Extraordinary achievements have been made in politics, military affairs, diplomacy, science and culture. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were nearly 20,000 people and countless stars. For example, Pei Du (politician) and Pei Xingjian (military strategist) Pei Xiu formulated the Six Bodies of Cartography, which laid the theoretical foundation of cartography in China and became the official (one of the three fairs). Speaking of Perseus, there is one person who can't get around. He is Pei Xiu's father, Pei Qian.

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, when Pei Qian took refuge in Jingzhou, he became friends with Wang Can, the champion of the seven sons of Jian 'an. Although Liu Biao, a shepherd in Jingzhou, respected him as a distinguished guest, Pei Qian, who was observant, thought that Liu Biao was a "non-overlord", but compared himself to Zhou Wenwang, and decided that "his defeat was inevitable" and resolutely left. After Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, he was entrusted with an important task and regarded as a senior consultant. He once asked Liu Bei, "What is his talent?" He said, "You can be a teacher if you are not afraid of danger." At this time, Liu Bei was just a worried dog like a lost dog.

? At that time, the Huns rebelled, and Cao Cao asked Pei Qian to lead the elite troops to attack and suppress them. However, Pei Qian thought that the Huns were on the verge of collapse, and sending fewer troops was "nothing to hide", and most of them were "timid and refused to enter the country", proposing that "it is appropriate to seek it" and went deep into the hinterland of the Huns alone. The Huns were surprised that they were gods, and "Khan took off his hat (knelt down)" and "plundered" before returning it. From then on, Pei Qian was appointed as the magistrate of Dai Jun County. "The north was greatly shaken and the people returned to their hearts." Cao Cao was overjoyed and "praised (Pei Qian's) contribution to governing the county". When you are thirsty, you can't wait to be transferred back and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Pei Qian believes that his successor will violate his principle of "being lenient with the people" and being strict with Hu (Xiongnu), and then he will "return to rebellion". As expected, but dozens of days later, the Huns rebelled, and Cao Cao "deeply regretted the speed of diving."

? During Pei Qian's tenure as the secretariat of Yanzhou, he was adjacent to Soochow, and Sun Quan and Guan Yu jointly attacked Xiangfan. The military situation is grim. Cao Cao went to the front line to inspect and saw Pei Qian's army ready to go. "Alas, his army is neat and rewarded." With Zhou Yafu (in the army) allusions have a spell. Chen Shou in The History of the Three Kingdoms cherishes ink like gold, but vividly depicts the image of Pei Qian who is both civil and military.

? After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he entrusted Pei Qian with an important task. During Ren Yingchuan's tenure as commander of the Agricultural Corps, he managed well and recommended talents. After a while, he was promoted and knighted (Hou Guan). Cao has arrived, and the official is Qiu Junyi and Dasinong, and he was also appointed as the Tinghou of Qingyang. Later, when I arrived at Shangshuling, I mastered the power of selecting dignitaries, and "set up a correct division of responsibilities, keep things simple and seek truth from facts" (I advised Zheng Zhuang to be an official in moderation and live up to his reputation). He was trusted by the Cao, Wei and Three Dynasties, and was posthumously awarded to Taichang after his death, ranking first among the nine Qing Dynasties.

? What is commendable is that the potential last words of the high official Pei said, "Be frugal when buried", "There is only one place to sit in the tomb, and there are a few pieces of pottery, and the rest are nothing". Weiluo said that every official will make a living by "weaving quinoa instead of taking (bringing) his wife (son) to be poor". Chen Shou's evaluation of Pei Qian can only be concise, but the latter sentence is "a beauty of my life". But this is a very good word. Indeed, he did not disgrace the reputation of Pei's noble family.

? Pei's real power began with Pei Qian's father Pei Mao. Pei Qian was appointed as an official by the Han court for conquering party member and Cui Li, the remnant of Dong Zhuo, and he was a "person with poor ability" in Cao Wei's jurisdiction. By the time his son Pei Xiu arrived, the Three Kingdoms had been returned to the State of Jin, earning both fame and fortune, and officials were used to drawing "regional maps" and "spreading them around the world". It was from this time that Pei's family really became a noble family, which made the scholars worship and made Pei truly rich.

? When I was working in Xiaxian Experimental Middle School, the headmaster Pei Tingjun went to Peibai Village, Liyuan Town, Wenxi, which is the prime minister village of China. When I was working in Yuncheng Automobile Engineering School, I recruited a girl who came from Xiaxian's hometown and said her brother's name was Pei Du, because Pei Du was a great man in history. Later, I learned that Pei Du was an outstanding politician and writer in the middle Tang Dynasty. He lived under the same roof for three generations, went out of the city to pay homage to the Prime Minister, and assisted in the realization of "Yuan Zhongxing", which was compared by people at that time. He shared the same interests with Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi in literature and made great achievements. It can be seen that as a descendant of Pei, I am proud of my surname, and there is no doubt about it.

? When we mention Pei Qian, we can't help but think of the Three Kingdoms, and we can't help but think of Pei Songzhi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because his annotations on the Three Kingdoms are three times as many as the original. Quoting classics, poor in classics, rigorous textual research, spent a lot of energy and ingenuity, and paid a lot of hardships and efforts, which not only supplemented the heritage of the History of the Three Kingdoms, but also corrected the mistakes, supplemented and corrected them, and widely used quotations, which greatly enriched the content of the original book and made great contributions to philology. Compared with one of the four great histories in the twenty-four history,

? It suddenly occurred to me that I should have the opportunity to visit Peibai Village in Wenxi and pay tribute to the great achievements of the Shi Pei family in the Prime Minister's Village of China. It is also a very pleasant thing to think that you are in Hedong, an outstanding and beautiful Zhong Ling.
