Legend has it that when Yuan Shikai attacked the Shanxi Revolutionary Army, he burned and looted all the way. When he reached the locust tree in Hongdong, the soldiers dismounted to worship and whispered to each other, "Go home!" " Instead of looting this place, they provided the previously looted property under the big locust tree.

Are all Yuan Shikai's troops from Hongdong, Shanxi? Don't! Just because many surnames moved out of Shanxi in succession during the Ming Dynasty's great immigration, almost all the immigrants from this place in China, or the descendants of Hongtong immigrants, have spread all over the country and even overseas. According to the data, there are more than 500 surnames of the immigrants in Hongdong, Shanxi, including almost all surnames in China.

Recently, I became interested in the genealogy of my surname because of the online craze for family hunting. After some searching, I found that my surname also came from the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi, and I couldn't help crying. Sophora japonica, Sophora japonica, have you seen our ancestors?

Immigrants from Shanxi were rooted in the big locust tree in Hongdong, because all immigrants from Shanxi at that time had to register at Guangji Temple next to the big locust tree before they could leave home and then set off. On the road, they turned around step by step and drifted away. All they could see was the towering locust tree and the old stork nest at the top of the tree. So what is the name of the locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi, and where is its ancestral home? Old storks nest under the big locust tree. "

Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion. Drinking water thinking of the source, there is a poem saying: "Today people don't see Gu Yue, but this month they took photos of the ancients." Presumably that big locust tree also saw our ancestors. Let's go from Hongdong to the whole country hand in hand.

Today, I saw someone posting a question about how to coordinate the atmosphere between 9- 18 and Mid-Autumn Festival. In my eyes, isn't Mid-Autumn Festival a sad day even if 9- 18 is put aside? Needless to say, the feeling of "being a stranger alone in a foreign land", that is to say, the reunion thought of ancestors and the great immigrants in the history of the Ming Dynasty will also make people feel very heavy. The short history of the Yuan Dynasty, the oppression of the ruling class, the resistance of farmers, natural disasters and man-made disasters, "made the roads in Henan, Shandong, northern Hebei and other central plains" blocked and deserted ",and the" massacre "even the symbolic food of the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes, were related to the killing of each other at that time?
