Because Chen Jia has a great relationship with Peach Blossom Fan and Yuan Shikai, today I will introduce the origin of Chen Jia and its quadrangle.

At present, the surname of Chen in Shangqiu is a big surname, most of which originated from the ancient city of Chen.

Chen's ancestral home in Shangqiu is Xibo Village, Gaocheng Town, northwest of Yixing, Jiangsu 18, and he is one of the eight surnames of Yixing.

In Yixing, known as the hometown of professors, Chen Jia is a family of poets. From the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1 573-85 1), it was calculated that the top scholar1person, four Jinshi, and Xie Yuan1person, with many juries, dozens of tribute students and 87 military rank employees. One of them is General Xuanwei.

The most prominent figures in the late Ming Dynasty were Shi Yu, the left capital, and Yuting, the prince of Duchayuan, Chen Shaobao. Shangqiu Chen's ancestor was his grandson Chen Zongshi. It has been propagated in Shangqiu for 370 years and has been circulated for more than ten generations. It can be said that it is flourishing and talented.

According to records, Chen Zhenhui (the father of Chen Zongshi), president of Jiangsu Yixing People's Rehabilitation Association, studied in Nanjing with Hou Fangyu. Because of their ancestors, the two of them must know each other.

Eunuch Ruan Dacheng is a like-minded person. Ruan Dacheng put Chen Zhenhui in Nanjing prison to get back at them. Waiting for Yu Fang to rescue Marco through his prestige contact personnel. The two later came to the Chen family in Yixing. In the second year, Ruan Dacheng went to the Chen family in Yixing and arrested Hou Fangyu, who was a guest here. Hou Fangyu realized that this was a run-in, so he and the people who came to see me off booked a young marriage on the dock that was about to be taken to Nanjing, and set the marriage of the four sons of the Chen family and the three daughters of the Hou family. Soon, he escaped with the help of Jiangnan people, and met Li during this period. This led to a historical anecdote and made the immortal Peach Blossom Fan.

After eight years, Hou Fang came to Yixing again at the invitation of Chen Zhenhui, and was overjoyed to see her husband, the master, who was ten years old, as calm as an adult. Encouragement for writing poems "Planting Songs for Chen Lang" and "Preface for Chen Lang".

Because the Chen family often opposes the butler and is suppressed, it falls into the middle. 1657, fourteen-year-old Chen Zongshi came to Shangqiu after his father died. At this time, Li has been dead for three years because of missing him. Mrs. Hou Changfu did not abandon the order, did not abandon Chen Zongshi who had fallen into poverty, and still married Chen Zongshi as his daughter. Seeing that Chen Zongshi was too poor to settle down, Mrs. Hou took Hou Shi East Garden as the dowry and married her third daughter and husband. So, Zongshinuo. Yu Garden.

Since then, Chen Jujiang has lived in Shangqiu, Yixing, and Chen Zongshi is his grandparents.

Chen Zongshi was born in a family of poets and calligraphers. He is famous for his family education, respect for reputation, loyalty and love of making friends. I went to Beijing when I was young, and once celebrities and bachelors made friends with them, which made me famous for a while. Born in imperial academy, he later became Licheng County, Shanxi Province, and was promoted to Anping and Raoyang County, Zhili, Hebei Province.

Tang Bin, governor of Jiangsu Province, once praised him: "You are ashamed of the monarch, your body and the people." "Three noes" county magistrate.

Later, he was promoted to the president of Shaanxi Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Because Chen Zongshi is used to living in poverty and knows that life is not easy, after he established himself in Shangqiu, he took "diligent housekeeping and doing good for the foundation" as "family training for future generations" to educate future generations to abide by and remember.

After Chen Zongshi, his two sons, Chen Luzhong and Jin Chen, entered a glorious period, and they became "brother empires".

Throughout Chen's history, from Chen Zongshi's official position to the official position of the household department, it has been passed down to the seventh Chen Shiming, who made a tribute to Linqu County, Shandong Province in the late Qing Dynasty. There are 12 juren and imperial examination students, 8 scholars, including 5 from Hanlin, 1 from Governor, 1 from imperial academy, 2 from inspectors, 2 from Taoist inspectors, 3 from magistrate and 8 from county magistrate. In this way, a family of more than 60 people from the first generation to the seventh generation has produced more than 30 officials, which can be described as a noble family with talented people and a "four-pronoun house". A four-academician is famous all over the world, and the reputation of the "Four Poets Library" is comparable to that of Lin in Huaiyuan, Anhui Province at that time, and it was once a much-told story.

Influenced by their ancestors, the eunuchs of the Chen family embarked on their official careers and created rich poems.

At present, the Chenjia Courtyard is a new house built by Chen, the father of Zhongtai Chen, the eighth generation descendant of Chen family, for many years. Covering an area of 10000 square meters, there are 70 existing buildings and more than 200 guest rooms, with a history of over 180 years.

Its patterns reflect the feudal consciousness of respecting and ranking in an orderly way, distinguishing the old and the young, and distinguishing between men and women.

Speaking of Shangqiu, Zhongtai Chen, people are not familiar with it, but when people in the ancient city mention Chen Jia, they all know "Chen Banyu". According to legend, Chen Jiafu lives in Shangqiu. Because of his ambiguous speech, people nicknamed him "Chen Banyu". Legend has it that when he went shopping, he took whatever he wanted and took it directly, and the housekeeper followed. To what extent is Chen Jia rich? We can see that more than 80 gold ingots were dug up during the renovation in 20 151October 29th. It is said that the Chen family hung a "double thousand hectares" card. It is said that the Liu family of Guo Cunji is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty. Because he took refuge in Guo Cunji in the early Qing Dynasty, he changed his surname to Liu Yin. Later, after Liu Wenchu's death, the family sold the treasure and bought 2000 hectares of land. Later, in order to implement double thousand hectares, the local authorities added the good name of "double thousand hectares" to the wealthy Chen family at that time. Mr. Chen Yisu said: "In fact, in its heyday, Chen Jiaxing actually had 70 hectares of land, and local and sub-plots (with capital but no property rights) had 30 hectares, which was only 100 hectares."

Chen Banyu's two sons split in two. What we see now is the two east gates and two north gates of the Chen family compound, which is the pattern after the separation of Chen Banyu's two sons, Chen and Su. The eldest son of Zhongtai Chen, Chen. The second son, Sue.

Chen Shiming, a poet with the word Baosheng, paid tribute in the late Qing Dynasty and served as the magistrate of Feixian County and Linqu County in Shandong Province. Chen Shiming is a talented and uninhibited scholar among Chen's descendants. After he built the misty rain building, he built a thick wall around it, like a city wall. There is a pavilion on the steps in the southeast corner, where he can browse the scenery outside the city, broaden his horizons and express his feelings. "misty rain building" is the poet's praise and commemoration of the lingering love with Li.
