On April 22nd, 20 17, Teacher Lian Yongsheng posted an article on his official WeChat account, which read "Wu Tong is the king of trees, two neighboring villages in Longkou are named after Wu Tong, and here comes another king of locks", with an old map attached.
Out of curiosity, I looked at the map carefully. And participated in the message interaction of the article:
"Excuse me, Sir, is Qufu Village on the map now? My hometown is Qufu. I just paid attention to it and found that the village name is different. I don't know the origin-our village is indeed in the north of Daobei, but it is not adjacent. "
"Yes, the home of Lubei is Qufu Village now. The name of the village has not changed for a long time. It is the name that Mr. Qu changed after the Revolution of 1911. "
"Thank you, Sir, go home and ask my father. It turns out that Qu is my grandfather. My father told me the story of Qujian Temple and the whereabouts of his children, which made me straighten out the branches of my family and understand the history of my ancestors more deeply. "
"……"
This is a conversation that surprises me. With the dialogue, question marks come to mind.
First, how many grandfathers and brothers? How many sons are there? How does it branch?
My grandfather has four brothers. The eldest is Qu, the second is Qu, the third is Qu Shixian (in the northeast), and the fourth is Qu Shifang (my grandfather).
According to the second child, third child, second child.
The houses of the eldest brother Qu and the fourth son Qu Shifang are connected to the north and south, and there is a common aisle. This old house is on the street (it has been idle for many years).
Qu Ruocheng, the eldest son (third son: eldest son, second son, third son), Qu Ruocheng, the second son (third son: eldest son, second son, third son Zhang Sheng), and Qu Ruocheng, the third son (second son: eldest son Dezhang, second son Jun Zhang);
Qu Shifang's eldest son Qu Ruoting (the third son: my father is the third son), the second son Qu Ruoyan (the fifth son), the third son Qu Ruonong (the eldest son) and the fourth son Qu Ruolei (the third son).
Second, what kind of character is Qu and what kind of experience has he had?
Qu, born in 187 1, was a member of the League, one of the main members (Xu Jinggu, Zhu Quanying, etc. Who recovered Huangxian County in the Revolution of 1911?
He took an active part in the Revolution of 1911, led the local people to fight against the Qing Dynasty, cut braids, abolished private schools and publicized freedom and equality between men and women. Maintain social order and eliminate bandits and locusts.
It is recorded in the Draft of Shandong Revolutionary Party History that "we will accelerate the establishment of mirror center in Yantai, bring Qu back to Huangxian County, and establish a branch to win over party member in the county". The revolutionaries in Huangxian raised huge sums of money to buy guns and ammunition, which were packed in wooden cases, each of which cost 6000 yuan. Qu Qin was fully armed and personally escorted. Soon, he arrived in Wanxian County, Sichuan Province, and was named after "Wan Chuan Bi Hui, Wanshang Biji".
He is keen on education. According to historical records, in the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), he succeeded the headmaster of No.3 junior high school in the eighth district of Huangxian County, and Erziqu was one of the teachers at that time. Although the name of the school has changed, the school is located in one place-Guandao Beiqujia (now Qufu Village), with five school buildings, spacious houses, complete sets of school equipment, stadiums and western musical instruments. It is worth mentioning that he is very worried about the small number of girls attending school and strongly appeals to women to attend school for education.
As a social celebrity at that time, Qu was fiercely contested by all parties in the war. The Japanese puppet troops persuaded him many times and sent him a letter of appointment. He flatly refused, and the local guerrillas tried their best to win him over. The Kuomintang took the opportunity to spread rumors and issued false announcements, saying that Qu had promised to take office. The other party didn't know it was a trap, so they sent someone to set fire to the crooked house. Everyone is big, and the two houses are adjacent. I accidentally set my grandmother's house on fire. It rained all night, so my family had to put out the fire and rebuild it on the original site (black burn marks can still be seen on the purlin). In desperation, in order to get rid of the entanglement, he had to leave the field and take refuge in Yingkou's third son.
Unknown events of Qu.
(A) the origin of changing the village name
Qufu Village in Ma Bei Town was originally named Shaotou Qujia, and villagers made a living by pouring copper spoons. During the Jiaqing period, because there was an official road in the south of the village, it was changed to compose music in the north of the official road. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), it was renamed Qufu Village to commemorate Confucius.
(2) Establish a family temple
According to records, "Qu opposed superstition and took the lead in tearing down temples and pushing idols." Actually, it is not. This is knowing only one thing and not knowing another. In the great era of the alternation of the old and the new, it should be said that his thoughts are both old and new, combining Chinese and western. There is still the blood of traditional ethics in the bones. The "temple" he led people to dig was the Guandi Temple, and later a new family temple, the ancestral temple, was built. This ancient temple is old, small and shabby. The new one needs to tear down the old one. He joined hands with the squire to raise money. Everything is ready, just to break ground. People in Huangxian county pay attention to it. Whoever is unlucky can't tear down the temple. They didn't want to start work, so they stepped on it and shouted, "Here I am, make way for the gods!" There is a god in the sky, but there is no god in the bay! " Immediately, the shovel was opened, and when everyone saw it, they began to work, and the new temple opened smoothly. According to my father, there is a calligraphy on the beam of the temple, which reads: "Supervisor: Qu, bricklayer: Sun, carpenter: Yao Dian *". Sun's bricklayer's team and Yao Dian's carpenter's team were both quite famous at that time. Xinjia Temple was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
Since Xinjia Temple is a ancestral temple, what kind of years has it had?
The ancestral hall enshrines the genealogy of four branches in the village. At the end of the year, the four branches rotate, and everyone on duty should be respected. My father Qu had a personal experience: one year it happened to be our turn, and my grandfather was on duty, responsible for hanging genealogy and offering sacrifices. The sacrifices are exquisite and rich, and a single pie weighs two or three pounds, so there are special skills when steaming. In order to be busy with the sacrifice, the whole family stayed up all night the night before. On the first day of junior high school, grandpa sat in the ancestral hall. People who enter the ancestral temple kowtow to the genealogy first, and then kowtow to my grandfather. My father was only ten years old, the same age as his cousin Qu. In the ancestral hall, one left and one right stood beside my grandfather (this is the rule, indicating that future generations have children). Witness this moment with your own eyes.
(3) those who hold ransom.
At the end of 1920s, local bandits participated. In the turbulent social background, Qu maintained local public order and wiped out bandits and bullies, which was quite prestigious at that time. According to my grandmother, there is another unknown episode. At that time, all the people who were kidnapped in the surrounding villages were escorted to Qu's home. Once, the kidnapper kidnapped a little girl. In the process of being caught, she ran away alone, leaving only the girl herself. Qu sent the little girl to my grandmother to take care of her for a few days.
(4) Eliminate the plague of locusts
My grandmother is a housekeeper's daughter-in-law and lives in an old house. 1930 When a locust plague occurred in Huangxian County, Qu responded positively. The surrounding villages caught locusts, gathered them together, transported them to Qu's house in sacks, and piled them in the South Garden. At night, locusts surged in, smashed sacks and flew out in droves. At that time, there was no glass on the window, and there was enough paper. The locusts soon broke enough paper and arched into my grandmother's house. In the middle of the night, people are caught off guard.
His daughters
Qu advocated women to study and set an example by sending two daughters to school. Before he led the revolutionary trend, his daughters did not bind their feet. When the eldest daughter gets married, it becomes a problem. Fortunately, buddhist nun belongs to the base area behind enemy lines, so I have to marry her there. By the time the second daughter got married, the atmosphere was more open and marriage was no longer a problem.
(6) Where are his children?
Qu has three sons and two daughters. Both the eldest brother and the second brother are doing business in Fengcheng, Liaoning. Eldest brother Qu Ruocheng opened a paper mill in Fengcheng (later public-private partnership), and his son Zhang Han is the director of the Institute of Language and Literature of China Academy of Sciences. The second child, Qu, went to Fengcheng alone with his eldest brother in his early years, then returned to his hometown to teach, and returned to Fengcheng with his family to settle down during the disaster. My son, Zhang Sheng, now lives in Fengcheng and is a high school math teacher. The third child, Qu Ruoyu (whom I know best), lived in Yingkou and moved to Dandong for two years. Then Sun Zhunian's second brother Sun Xiunian (Qu is his uncle) sent a truck to take his family from Dandong to Fengcheng. 195 1 After liberation, Fengcheng returned to Longkou. Qu Ruoyu's eldest son, Zhang De, was in Longkou Construction Committee before his retirement, and his second son, Zhang Jun, retired from the refrigeration plant. Qu's eldest daughter is married to a buddhist nun, her son is Wang Hengnian, and her son-in-law Shi Dianxiao used to work. The second daughter married to Taipingzhuang and gave birth to a son, Zhang Shijun, a teacher.
(7) What is the year of birth and death?
Although the date of birth and death of Qu is recorded, it belongs to unofficial history, which needs further research. During this search, I learned that 1939 (whose grandson Zhang was born in 1937 and Qu died at the age of three) died in Yingkou at the age of 69. The year of birth and death was thus determined.
(8) Where was it finally buried? What are the convincing reasons?
After his death, the coffin has been kept in the local Ji Ling Temple in Yingkou. All three sons were in Fengcheng at that time, beyond their reach. On the eve of liberation, the situation is still turbulent, and it is hopeless to transport it back to his hometown. If Sanziqu meets his friend in Yingkou, he will bury the canal-still in a foreign land.
Fourth, the parents are the same, why are Fan's words different?
Qu's grandchildren are all fans. My third grandma's son is also a fan of Zhang Zi. But the son born at home is unruly. Why? It turned out that this originated from an accident. My father had a brother named Zhang Huan, who died unexpectedly. In order to avoid evil spirits and make money, all the sons born in the future should be changed to Fan Zhongzi.
5. How powerful is Grandpa who knows abacus?
My grandfather was tall and thin, with a long face and thick lips. He was not handsome, but he played abacus well and was still praised many years after his death. He worked as an accountant all his life and collected accounts from the production team after returning home in his later years. At night, people in the team office stood outside in a noisy three-story building. There is a person who is responsible for reading numbers, no matter how noisy the room is, whether it is big or decimal. When that person has read eight or nine, he only pulls an abacus (my father told me that this algorithm is called swallowing gold). Some people are amazed and deliberately read faster. He is very determined and never hits one by one, but there is no mistake in collecting accounts, and everyone is amazed.
6. What's the past of my grandparents and my brother?
My grandfather Qu Shifang was born in the 9th year of Guangxu (1883). He is Qu's fourth brother and has four sons.
Qu Ruoting, the eldest son, is my grandfather. As an adult, he was brought to Liaoning by Sun Junian, the third brother of Sun Zhunian (a businessman with a wide social relationship), and worked as an accountant in fengcheng city Grain Bureau. Qu Ruoyan, the second son, and Qu Ruolei, the fourth son, opened a silk and satin shop in Longkou, with the store number Jianfeng. The third son, Qu Ruonong, works as a Japanese interpreter in Ahava (riding a horse, holding a saber and eating a running mat). Silk and satin villages are all rich by hard work-there was no machine weaving at first, and my family rode to Qingdao to bring cloth every day. While making money and expanding investment, the company develops by snowballing. Later, I met with public-private partnership and capital investment. A lot of bedding has been taken home (Old Four has boxes of wires, lights and safes at home). There are bundles of various silks and satins in the bedroom of the second child's house.
Seven, the change of the house, how did my grandmother divide the home, what are the contradictions and struggles?
At first, the old house. Three-bedroom daughter-in-law house. My grandmother is the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, the housekeeper, and lives in the East Room. Second grandma lives in Westinghouse, and third grandma lives in the wing. Once, I don't know which room accidentally found a loose stone in the yard. As soon as I pulled it, I found a small gold ingot hidden below. When the old lady heard about it, she knew that there was selfishness below, and the situation got out of hand, and she immediately wanted to split up. My fourth grandmother has been living in a house in North Street (when my uncle was born, my grandfather was happy and said he would build a house for his grandson, so he gave birth to this house). This house is connected with my present house, no matter the tile style of dripping eaves, the height of the house and even the roof are exactly the same, like twin sisters. In fact, these two houses used to be two owners. My father's grandfather is Qu Weibang, and his brother Qu Jianbang is a landlord. Without a son, he needs a pension to die, and it is sold very cheaply. My home is in the north, which is a guest house (a house used to entertain guests). As long as I can remember, my second grandma's house is in the south. When adults mention it, they always say "South House". The house was originally connected back and forth. If you cross the road, you can go directly to South Street and North Street. To the east is fourth grandma's house, next to mine. Third grandma's house is another building in the east. At this time, the four-bedroom daughter-in-law moved to North Street.
Eight, how is the original composition divided? What do you mean the land reform was reversed? Does it affect future generations?
My fourth grandfather obeyed the arrangement and entered Yantai's foreign trade after public-private partnership. Later, the evaluation component was the employer (when the public-private partnership, he brought in capital and merged with the country, so it was called the employer. If he has only his own capital and no state capital, he is a capitalist. My family was rated as a middle peasant, and there are stories in it. My father's uncle has a dry brother named Luan Ji Chun, who is a luggage traveler. During the land reform, I knew the news early and sent a message, "Hurry up and split up, at least get a landlord and a rich farmer." Grandma listened to his words, buried the washbasin in the ground and went directly to the village office with her luggage. Even so, the children were later influenced to some extent. When my father was in junior high school, he had two opportunities to join the league, and the school went to the village to inspect. The first time was the second day of junior high school, and the village party secretary wrote a comment that "the land reform was reversed (when the land reform was carried out, it proved that the family had money)", and the second time was the third day. In this survey, the village party secretary filled in a "omission of wealthy middle peasants". -the village party secretary was born in poverty. He used to know the influence of Qu in the county, fearing that his descendants would go into politics. In order to consolidate the personal regime, he deliberately suppressed it. My uncle is one of the best students in the school, but he can't find a job as a Communist Youth League secretary. There's no way to worry. 1958 coincides with the recruitment of Xinglongzhuang Garden and becomes a technician.
Nine, concluding remarks.
"The world is a big dream, and the autumn is crisp." Through this genealogy search, we found the discrepancy between Qu's actual date of birth and death and the data records, learned that our family's hall number was Yudetang, and obtained something that was not recorded in other data. Of course, there are more places worth exploring. Those lost years, like fireworks shining in the night, have been brilliant and have been extinguished.
My grandparents, they are different from fireworks. They are weeds, withering and reborn. As long as there is blood, the end of every song is a new beginning.
