Speaking of this ancestor portrait of Wan Yan Cheng Hui preserved by Wan Yan's family in Wan Yan village, we have to rehearse the same old story.
As a descendant of the Jin dynasty, at the sunset of the Jin dynasty, with the wishes of our ancestors, we had the last glimmer of hope. When I arrived in Jingchuan, I heard that Guo Toad, the last caretaker of the Jin Dynasty, set fire to his house after Huining City was broken, so I had to take root in Jingchuan, where an army had been cultivated for generations, and there was no silence. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Wan Yan began to be an official in the local area and became famous for some time.
Troubled times, seclusion, arrangement. The practice of almost every family. As a local official, Wan Yan's family is proud of their ancestors and naturally grateful for their protection, so they take the images handed down from generation to generation as their rubbings, redraw their portraits and pay tribute to their remains. Every New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day invites portraits to burn incense and bow down. After the sacrifice, the well-off elders in the village take turns to keep it, and the next year they are invited to hold a sacrifice ceremony, and so on.
In 23 years of the Republic of China, Mr. Zhang Dongye, then the county magistrate of Jingchuan County, was keen on the study of local culture. After learning that Jingchuan had the operation of the Sun, my interest was dim, so I made an appointment with my boss to visit Wanyan Village. Zhang Dongye suspected that the portrait preserved by his family would be lost in the war, so he specially asked the photographer Ma Yin to take pictures, and kept the remaining gaps in mind in the enlarged photos: "Zhu Naisong's portrait of Jin Wu was also made by the discipline department of the Ming Dynasty, with bright colors and delicate brushwork, and was hidden in Jingchuan's family. According to the cloud, this is the extension of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the original picture has already been destroyed. However, all his descendants have become a pure and upright Han nationality. In the spring of twenty-five years, I was ordered to transfer the commander of April 1st, and the district chief Ren Baozhen asked me to supervise Dai Gong and send Lu Gong, two comrades, to Jingxing to see the public exhibition. Because photography is open, we have the relics we got. "
Zhang Dongye's profound knowledge is recognized, but his inscription on Hong Yan's family portrait "A Portrait of Martial Arts in Song and Jin Dynasties" is really controversial. As we all know, the Southern Song Dynasty was a sub-state of the Jin Dynasty, so the suzerain country cannot use the title of sub-state. The shame of Jingkang, Song Qinzong and Zhao Heng wrote a sincere letter of surrender to Jin Taizu in December of the fourth year of Tianhui. Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty named Huizong as a confused public, while Qin Zong was a confused public. Song Xiang was a vassal of the Jin Dynasty and regarded the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty as an uncle. The emperor of the Song Dynasty must be canonized by gold to be effective.
It stands to reason that the Southern Song Dynasty was a subordinate country under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, which existed in name only and was far-fetched to distinguish it from the Northern Song Dynasty before the rule of the Jin Dynasty. Influenced by Confucian culture, Zhang Dongye stood on the position of * * * *, and it was reasonable at that time to take the Central Plains nationality as orthodoxy and other brotherly nationalities as barbarian traditions, and to inscribe "A Portrait of Martial Arts in Song and Jin Dynasties" for the Hong Yan family.
At the beginning of the Four Clean-ups Movement, the portrait of Wan Yan's ancestors was abandoned in the production team's field at the age of four, and was later thrown into the waterlogged dam in Cunping. After the villagers found it, they salvaged it home. After drying, they hung it on the kiln wall for people to watch. Township apportionment working group cadres stationed in the team to guide the work. Some people attach great importance to it and say that they want to be a mattress shop for cadres. The cadres are very worried, and no one dares to use it.
Later, Gao in the village was in the army, accidentally injured the company commander's son's eyes and was demobilized. Zheng went to school and has a certain cultural foundation. He holds a set of Book of Jin in his hand and is keen on family culture. He begged Li Yanhong Cheng to come back and leave it. It is said that he will send this portrait of the Ming Dynasty to the province for repainting or identification, which is unknown. Wan Yan Gao died of coronary heart disease in Jingning, and the portrait has been missing ever since. It is rumored in the village that Gao Zheng sold the portrait and bought Gaotai County. Others said that Gao was cheated and murdered, and there was a lot of controversy at that time. In short, the ancestors revered for generations have completely disappeared from people's sight.
Contemporary literature research in Song and Jin Dynasties has eliminated narrow national prejudice and entered a fair and reasonable criticism stage. Mr Wan is one of the few doctors who went out of Wan Yan. He loves writing and has been exploring the ins and outs of Wan Yan's family in Jingchuan for decades. In 2002, he invited clan member Jasmine Zhang Xin to visit Wanyan Village. Zhang Qingxin wrote Chronicle of Wanyan Village and Who is the Scorpion, which were published in Gansu Daily and Western Business Daily, which aroused the curiosity of scholars. They came one after another and entered the mysterious investigation report of Yan Hong tribe. The history of Wan Yan, which has been sealed for hundreds of years, tells the world. As a member of the Manchu Brotherhood, Mr. Wan, based on the photos taken by Ma Yin when Zhang Dongye and his boss visited Wanyan Village during the Republic of China, asked the young painter Qi to draw a new portrait of his ancestors, send it back to Wanyan Village, build an ancestral temple, hang the portrait in it, and hold sacrificial activities on holidays. Portraits of generations of Hong Yan family. There are portraits of ten emperors, including Sheng of Jin Taizong, Jin Xizong, Yan Liang of Wang Hailing, Yan Yanjing of Jin Shizong, Jin Zhangzong, Yan Yongji of Wei Shaowang, Yan Yanxun of Jin Xuanzong, Yan Yanshouxu of Jin Aizong, Yan Yanchenglin of Jin Zhaozong and 27 assistant ministers. Zong Bi has a prominent position in the portrait, and his son Heng and his wife Dan Tribe are his assistants.
The redrawn immortal image proposed by Mr. Wan has been reported and quoted by the media many times, copied and collected by Wan all over the country, and has become a useful material for many literary historians to study the history and culture of the Jin Dynasty.
