Cui's family background: his third grandson and Qi's fourth son.
In fact, Cui Shi originated from his style, which can be directly traced back to Emperor Yan. According to the exact historical record, both the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the General Annals said that they helped cut Zhou Dynasty to make great contributions, and after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, it was enfeoffed to establish Qi State along the coast of Shandong Province today. Now, Jiang Taigong's son Qi should have passed it on (ranked fourth), but he gave the country to his private uncle B (ranked third), his half-brother. After Uncle B succeeded to the throne, his younger brother Jizi was in Cui Di (now Zouping, Shandong Province). Since then, the descendants of Jizi have lived here for a long time, taking the place name "Cui" as their surname, thus developing into today's Cui surname.
Cui Yao, the first "celebrity": I am the victim!
Cui's surname appeared earlier in China's classics, but he was a bit famous (dog blood). Zuozhuan? "xianggong" twenty-five years, recorded a famous allusion "Cui Yi regicide". Cui Yao, the doctor of Qi (after Ji Zi, Cui Shi has been in a high position as a great doctor in Qi), brutally killed his monarch Qi Zhuanggong and used his power to establish a new Qi Jinggong. Historians recorded in the history books that "Cui Yao killed the king", and Cui Yao killed him in a rage; The younger brother of the former history came and wrote "Cui Yao killed his king", and Cui Yao killed him angrily; Then another brother came, and he started writing from "Cui Yao killed the king". Cui Yao was finally awed by the justice and fearlessness of historians and had no choice but to give up.
Cui Zhu killed the king.
The above is the second half of this allusion. People often praise historians for their "professionalism" of seeking truth from facts and straightforward writing style, and their sense of justice that they are not afraid of power and would rather die than surrender, which is also one of the most precious spiritual wealth in our traditional culture. But little is known about the first half of this allusion. As a doctor of Qi, Cui Zhou is already in power and rich. Why he did such a "stupid thing" as regicide is obviously to be recorded by historians.
It turned out that Qi Zhuanggong not only dated Cui Yao's wife, but also insulted Cui Yao in public, knowing that it was Cui Yao's hat, but gave it to others. Cui Yao couldn't bear it, and finally took advantage of Qi Zhuanggong's date with his wife in his home again to "catch the guest behind closed doors" and refused Qi Zhuanggong's request to "spare his life". When Qi Zhuanggong was about to escape over the wall, the arrow fell to the ground and died. It can be seen that Cui Yao is also quite wronged. This is also a bad thing. It was clearly Zhuanggong's fault. I was forced to take revenge later, but he died. Why should I be "remembered" by history books for thousands of years?
"ZhuangGong how, such as Cui Shi. Give someone your crown, and the waiter says no: If not, it's not the same as asking, just follow Jiang. Ginger entered the room and Cui Zi came out from the side. Singing in public. Jia, the waiter, followed suit behind closed doors. Jia Xing, please come on stage, Fu Xu; Please join us, Walsh; Please commit suicide in the temple. Don't allow it. They all said,' Your minister is ill and can't obey. Being close to the palace, I don't know my life if I accompany my minister to commit adultery. "Over the wall. Another shot, winning the lottery, against the team, so there is a big history book of killing people:' Cui Yi killed his king.' Cui Zi killed it. His brother inherited the book and the deceased, two people. His brother is also a book, but he gave up. Heather's family heard that Dashi had died and kept the past simple. Smell his book, too. Zuozhuan? Twenty-five years of xianggong
In the glory of the Tang Empire, there was a man named Cui.
Get down to business. Cui Yao lost power after years of monopolizing state affairs in Qi, and Cui was transferred to Lu to continue to be a doctor. During the Han Dynasty, Cui Ye and his younger brother Cui Zhongmou, who inherited the title of "Donglai Hou" from their father, respectively settled in Wucheng (now the old city of Hebei) east of Qinghe and Anping (now Anping, Hebei) in Boling. After the development of Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qinghe Cui Shi, Boling Cui Shi and Longxi (now southeast Gansu) Li, Zhaojun (now Zhao County, Hebei Province) Li, Fan Yang (now Baoding and Beijing) Lu, Xingyang (now Xingyang, Henan Province) Zheng and Taiyuan Wang were collectively called "five surnames and seven looks" or "five surnames and seven sects".
To what extent does it shine? Only in terms of marriage, even the prime ministers and royal children of the current dynasty may not succeed in marrying these five families! "Marrying a daughter with five surnames" is juxtaposed with "Jinshi discipline" and "national history" and has become one of the goals of civil servants with Tang characteristics.
After Wu Zetian came to power, in order to suppress the influence of these powerful families, it was stipulated that five surnames and seven expectations were not allowed to marry. As a result, the news not only aroused the "wave" of "surprise marriage" between these families, but they even took pride in "the emperor forbade us to get married"! (The intermarriage of five surnames and seven nationalities in Tang Dynasty is also a topic in today's history. )
Cui's development reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. Being able to rank first in the five surnames and seven expectations is hot in the marriage market, which is the result of the accumulation of previous generations. The most commendable thing about Cui in the Tang Dynasty is probably the successful transformation to the "Xueba" family. Professor Xia Yan of Nankai University once did a set of statistics. In the Tang Dynasty, there were 287 people who entered the DPRK as officials, and the exact way of 84 of them entering the DPRK was recorded. Of these 84 people, 68 passed the imperial examination and entered the ranks of "civil servants" in the Tang Dynasty. In the nearly 300-year history of the Tang Dynasty (289), there were 15 prime ministers named Cui!
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty, starting from Li Zhi and Tang Gaozong, spared no effort to develop and improve the imperial examination system, which had a great and far-reaching impact on Chinese history. They want to kill the prestige of Shandong aristocratic families through the imperial examination system and absorb some fresh blood for the "civil servants" team. As a result, people are completely "fearless" and children are not afraid to take the exam at all!
"Cui Jiu" in poet Du Fu's widely circulated four-line poem "Encountering the Xiahe River" was the favorite before the Anshi Rebellion, and Cui Di, who had served as a prison palace, ranked ninth. His brother Cui Kun is the secretary-general of the same dynasty.
"It's common to go to Qi Wang's house, and Cui has heard it several times before." It's a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. See you when the flowers fall. "
From this poem, we can easily imagine Cui's position at that time. This poem at least clearly tells people that Cui Jiu and Wang Qi (the younger brother of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty) used the same musician, that is, the hero Li Guinian in the poem. Until the late Tang Dynasty, Tang Wenzong was still feeling that the Li family's 200-year-old son of heaven was not as good as Cui Wang!
After the Song Dynasty, Cui surnames were more widely distributed, and most of the famous Cui surnames in history appeared as scholars. It is hard to say that they were not influenced by the "Xueba Gene" in the Tang Dynasty. Today, Cui ranks 58th among hundreds of surnames, and public figures appear from time to time. But on the whole, compared with the influence of Cui surname in the Tang Dynasty, it is still far behind.
