How did Zengzi, who was born in Pingyi, become a native of Jiaxiang, Jining in Chinese textbooks? _Jiaxiang Bar_Post Bar

Zengzi and the Spring and Autumn Wucheng (Excerpt) Li Changsong and Yang Guoai said that the Spring and Autumn Luwucheng, the hometown of Zengzi, was located in Nanwucheng, Weizhuang Township, Pingyi County, from the Han Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, as the government proposed that the descendants of Zeng Zi "follow the example of the Meng and Yan clans and be awarded Doctorates of the Five Classics in Hanlin", the descendants of Zeng Zi who lived in the south of the Yangtze River in the Han Dynasty and those who later moved to Jiaxiang, Shandong were competing for the title. Seize power and attack each other. In order to obtain a title and land as a sacrifice, the descendants of Zengzi in Jiaxiang fabricated the story that Luwu City in the Spring and Autumn Period, the hometown of Zengzi, was located at the foot of Nanwu Mountain, forty-five miles southwest of Jiaxiang County. They also built a temple to Zengzi as evidence. The theory of present-day Jiaxiang County appeared. In the 47th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Later Qing Dynasty (AD 1708), "Juye County Chronicle" further stated that "in the Spring and Autumn Period, Fei County was the private residence of the Ji family, but it was heard that it was Fei County, but not Wucheng City", and further concluded that "the Nanwu County of Fei County was The city should be after the Western Jin Dynasty, not Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period"; "The giant wilderness of Yanzhou was Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the sages Zeng and Tantai were born in Yan". In this way, by the Qing Dynasty, three theories of Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period appeared in Fei County (today's Pingyi County), Jiaxiang County and Juye County. In recent years, the local chronicles compiled by the place-name offices and county chronicle offices of Pingyi, Jiaxiang and Juye counties have different opinions and cannot agree on one thing. Where is Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, the hometown of Zengzi? We believe that two pieces of historical data in "Zuo Zhuan" can help solve this problem. First, "In the 23rd year of Zhao Gong (519 B.C.), Zhu people returned to Chengyi City, and General Li Ligu. Gongsun said: 'General Lu will protect me.' He wanted to return from Wucheng, and walked south along the mountain. Xu Qiu Ruo and Mao Di said: "When it rains down the road, you will not come out, so you will not come back." So the people from Wucheng blocked the way and cut off the trees behind it, and Zhu Shi passed it. , then pushed and kicked him, and then captured the Zhu master, and captured the weak land. "Zhu means Zou. Yi, the name of the city, Spring and Autumn Yicheng was located in Shijing Township, southwest of Fei County, which is only 15 kilometers west of Nanwucheng, Weizhuang Township, Pingyi County. After the Zhu people built Yicheng, they returned west to Zhu and were attacked while passing through Wucheng. This shows that Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period was between Yicheng and the capital of the Zhu state, which is consistent with the current location of Nanwucheng in Weizhuang Township, Pingyi County. Now Jiaxiang and Juye are both to the west of Zouxian County, so there will be no Spring and Autumn Luwucheng there. Secondly, "In the eighth year of Duke Ai (487 BC), Wu attacked me (referring to the state of Lu). Zi Xie led the way, and the old road was dangerous, so he came from Wucheng. At the beginning, the people of Wucheng may have been detained in Wu because they were in the fields. Jian said: "Why do you make me watery?" When Master Wu arrived, he led him to attack Wucheng and conquered it... Master Wu conquered Dongyang and advanced, leaving it at Wuwu. Tomorrow, he will leave it in Jamshi..., tomorrow he will leave it. After Gengzong, he was second to Sishang. "The state of Wu attacked the state of Lu and attacked Wucheng from a dangerous road. The countrymen who had had conflicts with the people of Wucheng over farming led the way and quickly captured it. Then Wu Division captured Dongyang, and during the march, they lived in Wuwu, Jamsil, and Gengzong, and fought all the way to Surabaya. Here, first, today's Nanwucheng in Pingyi County is the closest to the original country, which is prone to conflicts, while Jiaxiang and Juye are hundreds of miles apart from the country, so there is no possibility of conflicts over farming. 2. The statement that Wucheng is dangerous is in line with the reality that the southern part of Pingyi County is mountainous and dangerous. Although there are mountains in Jiaxiang and Juye, they are not dangerous. 3. After the Wu army captured Wucheng, they then captured Dongyang. During the march, they lived in Wuwu, Jamsil, and Gengzong, and fought all the way to Surabaya. From south to north in Pingyi County, there are indeed Spring and Autumn Dongyang City, Jamsil, etc., and Wu Division could only reach Surabaya via Dongyang shortcut by traveling north from Nanwucheng in present-day Pingyi County. Regarding the fact that Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, the hometown of Zengzi, was located in Nanwucheng, Pingyi County today, famous historians and authoritative historical works from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present are certain. Gu Yanwu of the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty pointed out in his "Kao Wucheng" in his "Shandong Archaeological Records": "The theory that Wucheng is in Jiaxiang today has no basis at all." Qing Ye Gushou's "Continuation of Shandong Archaeological Records" records "The Spring and Autumn Period Xianggong Ten In the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Wucheng, Du noted that Wucheng County in the south of Taishan Mountain was the same place from ancient times to the early Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Jinxiang County in the Han Dynasty was suddenly regarded as the city. Wang Yaliang, a man of the Ming Dynasty, has already mentioned it. "Zeng Zi Fei Ren's Research" can be found in "Tongzhi Queli Zhi", and the refutation is particularly detailed." Annotation on page 10 of Liu Shaoqi's book "On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members" published by People's Publishing House, "Zeng Zi, Ming Shen, was a native of Wucheng, Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a native of Feixian County, Shandong Province today." "Cihai" published in 1979, on page 718, "Wucheng, the name of an ancient city. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Di, also known as Nanwucheng, was located in the southwest of Fei County, Shandong Province today. In 551 BC, Lu Xianggong built Wucheng to control Qi. , that’s it.

"As for the current marks of Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period on various "Chinese Historical Atlases" and "Situation Maps of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods", they are natural landmarks at the location of Nanwucheng in Weizhuang Township, Pingyi County. To sum up, , the geographical location of Luwucheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, the hometown of Zengzi, is in the southwest of the original Fei County, which is now Nanwucheng in Weizhuang Township, Pingyi County. The theory that it is in Jiaxiang County or Juye County is not consistent with historical facts.
