According to Tong Tong Tang's Ming Family Tree, Ming Shici (1667- 1740) lives in Luoyuan Village, Paishi Town, Yangxin County, Huangshi City, and has four sons, namely Qiyu, Qilian, Qi Ao and Zhu Qi. Paishi Town is located at the northern foot of Mufu Mountain and the middle reaches of Fushui River Basin. In ancient times, rafts and bamboo rafts descending downstream from the upper reaches of the Fushui River gathered here. "There are cities on both sides of the Jiahe River", hence the name Paishi Town. Fushui River is a tributary of the Yangtze River, with a main stream of 196 km, which is the longest river in Huangshi area. During the feudal rule, the Fushui River often overflowed and floods occurred from time to time, which led to people's displacement. For example, Guangxu's "Xingguo State Records"? Volume 3 1? "Xiangyi" contains: "In the second year of Kangxi, in August, it rained for more than 20 days, and the water entered the city and did not retreat in winter. "due to the long-term flood, all four sons given by the Ming dynasty moved to other places." Jade, Lian, and Ao migrated without examination, and Siziming moved to Dongli Dongbao, Qizhun County, which is now Hongquzui Village, Liuhe Town.
Qichun and Yangxin face each other across the river, share a river, have close popularity and close economic and trade exchanges. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, these two places were both places of state administration. In the Qing Dynasty, these two places were ruled by the state, one was called qi zhou, and the other was called Xingguo. Qi zhou has a long history, beautiful scenery and prosperous economy, and has long been the political, economic and cultural center of southeastern Hubei. Where is home going? After careful consideration, qi zhou across the river became the first choice for immigrants. Mingwan in Hongquzui Village is a small gully between the Dabie Mountains, backed by Qingfeng Village and close to Qihe River, the main stream of the county, and the terrain is similar to that of Yangxin Luoyuan Village. In case of war, you can retreat to the cottage, go out of the Qihe River and visit relatives and friends. According to legend, Hu and Yin moved to Hongquzui Village with Ming Dynasty.
The life story of Zhu Qi in Ming Dynasty is not recorded in detail. According to the Ming family tree, Ming Qizhu (1702- 1754) has a whole chapter with two sons and one daughter. The exact time when he moved to Monascus Mouth has been lost. From the "praise words" in the genealogy, we can imagine the difficulties when he first settled in Hongzuzui. The tomb of Zhu Yuan Chen Pei (170 1- 1749) in the Ming Dynasty is now well preserved. The original tombstone stood in December of the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), and the Chinese characters "The Qing Emperor sealed the tomb of Mother Chen and the old lady of Ming Dynasty" were engraved in the middle. The inscription records that Chen IV lived under one roof and had seven grandchildren under his knee. Ming remarried Pan Shi after Chen died. Pan Shi has no children. What is striking is the word "imperial seal" on Chen's tombstone, that is, Chen is "madam" The feudal court sealed an official's mother or wife and gave her a gift, which she sealed before her death. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a very complete imperial seal system was formed. First-to-fifth-level officials are appointed, and sixth-to ninth-level officials are appointed, and wives are subordinate to their husbands. So there is the saying of "maid of honor". Chen was ordained, presumably her husband knew that his pearls or his descendants should have more than five titles. However, the author searched all the editions of Huguang Tongzhi, Huangzhou Fuzhi, qi zhou Zhi Zhi, Xingguo Zhouzhi and Ming Family Tree in Qing Dynasty, but there was no trace of it.
Ming Gang's former residence, commonly known as Guanting, was built between Yongzheng and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. The house is five rows wide and has three entrances. The overall area is about1.200m2, and the building area is about 700m2. Who built this house? It still looks like a big family today. BenQ old man, handed down from generation to generation, was built by Zhu. The feudal dynasty had a strict hierarchy, and made specific regulations on the residential buildings of people from all walks of life. People with different occupations or official positions are reflected in residential buildings. For example, Ming Hui Dian stipulates that "Shu Ren lives in a house with only three rooms and five frames." After the Qing dynasty, although the restrictions on housing were relaxed, they were still strict.
"Zuo Zhuan" says: "The ceremony of the husband, the classics of heaven, the meaning of the earth, and the trip of the people." "Door to door" and "door to door" are important parts of the gates in ancient residential buildings. Civil servants use circular doorways and doorways, and officers use square doorways and doorways. So from a distance, you can know whether the owner of this family is a civilian or a military attache. The gate of Mingwan Old House is 1. 14m wide and 2. 15m high. According to Lu Banchi, it belongs to the "righteousness" gate, and its width is between the "separation" gate and the "righteousness" gate, which means that the master has the intention of not forgetting his hometown and setting up a home with righteousness. It turns out that a pair of drum stones on the left and right sides of the gate have disappeared, leaving only the base below. The two bases are made of red sandstone with moire and auspicious clouds engraved on the front. On the left side, the relief is "Kirin to send the child", which means that the children and grandchildren are full, and on the right side, the relief is "Immediately seal the Hou", which means that fame is just around the corner. The number of "household pairs" is directly proportional to the level of official property. One to five products can be six, six to seven products can be four, the following can only be two, and ordinary large households can also be two. The "pile protection" of the old house in Mingwan is placed on the upper side of the lintel, which is a short tube carved from blue bricks. The column is about 0.2 meters long, parallel to the ground and vertical to the lintel, with four * * *. These four couples are all engraved with patterns, namely Liuhe Tongchun, Farming and Reading Family heirloom, Golden Couple and Qilin Xianrui. These different auspicious patterns, beautifully carved and with distinct themes, all convey the owner's yearning for a better life.
The plaque is an indispensable part of ancient architecture, which is equivalent to the eyes of ancient architecture. It has a wide range of meanings and plays a social role in enlightening and educating. The main hall is the second place of the old house in Mingwan. Four huge sequoia columns stand on the foundation of lotus columns, supporting four beams and large trusses. Below the beam is an oak carved dragon and phoenix decorative lattice. According to the old man's memory, there was a big plaque on the front of this hall, which read the words "Mo Leng Fang", which was said to have been written by Yu Bi. This plaque has disappeared, and now there are two well-preserved plaques, "Wen Kui" and "Wu Kui". The plaque of "Wen Kui" is a little bigger, with Wen Kui in regular script in the middle and the names of five examiners on the right, such as "Qin Ming was appointed as assistant minister of Hubei Prison Affairs Ministry, Anhui Governor and Ten-level Record for the second time", "Qin Ming was appointed as examiner, right assistant minister and Ten-level Record for the fifth time, Tan" and so on. The inscription on the left is "Gan Long is sixty years old, the second time, the second time, autumn". About 500 people live here. According to Tongzhi's Jiayu County Records? Volume five? People "records, Chun,No. Xinzhai, Qianlong sixty years (1795) was awarded the imperial academy. After returning to Li in the 21st year of Jiaqing (18 16), he gave lectures in the academy, teaching people "character first, literature second". ⑤ The tablet of "Wu Kui" is slightly smaller than the tablet of "Wen Kui", which shows that the imperial examination values literature over martial arts. In the middle, the big word "Wu Kui" is written in regular script, but the upper left corner of the word "Kui" is missing to show modesty. It says "Daoguang Guimao Branch" on the right and "Chinese Style" on the left. According to Guangxu's "Xingguo State Records"? Volume 16? Election? According to Wu Ju's records, in the 23rd year of Daoguang (1843), Gui Mao was a martial artist, and was awarded five times by the imperial court for his contribution to Yong Lian. ⑥
The protagonists in the tablets of Wen Kui and Wukui are far away from Jiayu and Yangxin, both of which were under the jurisdiction of Wuchang Prefecture in Qing Dynasty. Why did Ming Chunxue and Ming Guangdou take the trouble to send the plaque to the mouth of Qichun Monascus? According to legend, the descendants of Ming Qizhu lived in a mansion, which was enviable. It's a foreign nickname for local people to bully Ming family, so they go to the government to accuse Ming family of illegal construction. The descendants of Ming Qizhu returned to their hometown Yangxin to appeal for help and got the support of their hometown. Jiayu clan gave a big plaque of Wen Kui in Ming Xuechun, and later Yangxin clan gave a big plaque of Wu Kui in Ming Guangdou. The local people saw that the Ming family was both civil and military, and some people in the DPRK supported its platform. Never dare to embarrass them again. Above the lintel of the second middle back door of the old house in Mingwan, there is a red sandstone carved plaque, and the word "Pi Cheng Jue Sui" is engraved on the sun, which means making contributions. This kind of red sandstone is not native to Qichun, but should be shipped from other places. There are many stones made of this material in the old house, which is really beyond the financial resources of ordinary people.
It has been watched for 300 years since the reign of Kangxi. In the storm, the old house in Mingwan witnessed the prosperity of the descendants of Mingqizhu in Qichun. Later generations of the Ming family respected this old house as an ancestral temple and owned property for the whole family. In the sixties and seventies of last century, it was used as a political evening school, where the surrounding people studied cultural knowledge and received political education. Later, five or six families lived in the old house, and dozens of people went in and out through a gate. Now the old house has been uninhabited for many years, but it is still a good place for people to enjoy the cool.
Yao Heyou, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem: "If you have nothing to do, you will find a place to live in the mountains." People in China always move to another place. Looking back, Zhu Gong, the ancestor of the Ming family, moved from Yangxin to Qichun. I'm not forced, and I won't do this. In today's society, the river is clear, the sea is calm, and the country and the people are safe. If you can see the happy life of future generations, how happy is its pearl?

I have the style of the ancients. After a night's sleep, if someone tells Yun, Xianfu will call you and show it in hope. When I was awake, I told my son that I would be summoned by the fairy house one day. On time, get up early to take a bath, get dressed, go to work, and ask my son, nephew, relatives and friends to gather salt. Later, I heard drums. Yue: When greetings came, I died. I finally published it.

According to the genealogy of the Ming Dynasty, An Wen of the Ming Dynasty, with the word "lightness skill", organized Yong Ying to protect the court. This is slightly different from Guangxu's "Xingguo State Records".
