Judging from the compound surname Wen Ren, he is a descendant of Shao Zhengmao in the Spring and Autumn Period. Shao Zhengmao was a Lu savage at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He is knowledgeable and famous. Some of his ideas are inconsistent with Confucius. He once gathered people to give lectures and sang against Confucius, which made many disciples of Confucius go to Shao Zhengmao to attend classes. Later, Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao with his power. Because Shao Zhengmao was a celebrity at that time and was called "Wen Ren", some of his descendants were renamed Wen Ren. Later, someone changed the compound surname to a single surname, called Wen surname.
Ancestor: Shao Zhengmao (see above). Some of the pre-Qin classics mentioned that Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, while others did not record it. In this way, whether Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao or not has become a matter of litigation for later generations. According to Xunzi Zuozuo, "Confucius took photos of Lu, facing for seven days, with less punishment." The master asked,' A young man is honest, and he knows people well. The master (first) began to punish him for politics. "Is there any loss?" Confucius said, "Ju! My language is female (you). People have five evils, and stealing is irrelevant: first, honesty and danger, second, honesty and firmness, third, arguing against falsehood, fourth, remembering ugliness, and fifth, being tactful and not peaceful. If one of these five things is on a person, it is inevitable to be punished by a gentleman, but both should be punished. Sima Qian's "Historical Records Confucius Family" said: "(Lu) has been in the public for 14 years, Confucius is 56 years old, and the big scout took pictures ... so Dr. Lu's chaos became less and less." In other words, Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, the doctor of Lu at that time, only seven days after he was appointed as prime minister in Lu. The reason is that Shao Zhengmao has five evils, gathering people at home to preach heresy and grandstanding. He is already a hero among villains and must be killed. Later books, such as Yin Wenzi, Shuo Yuan and Confucius Family Story, all quoted Xunzi's statement that Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu believed that Confucius did not kill Shao Zhengmao. Many scholars agree with this statement.
The main reasons are:
First, the works of a hundred schools of thought contend are mostly fables, which are not credible. Zuozhuan, Guoyu, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius, which were earlier than Xunzi, did not mention this matter, and Zuozhuan and Guoyu often falsely accused Confucius and did not mention this matter, indicating that Confucius did not kill Shao Zhengmao in history.
Second, it is impossible for Confucius to kill another doctor as a doctor just seven days after acting as prime minister.
Third, Confucius advocated benevolence and resolutely opposed easy killing. When Dr. Lu put forward the view that "there is no way to kill, there is a way", Confucius objected. Killing Shao Zhengmao is not consistent with Confucius' consistent thinking. The above two theories are reasonable and have been passed down to this day. So, did Confucius kill Shao Zhengmao? There is a heated debate on the authenticity of this matter in academic circles, and there are many arguments between the two sides, so it is difficult to draw a convincing conclusion.
Secondly, the migration and distribution (missing) of Wen's surname did not enter the top 100 of Taiwan Province's hundred surnames.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous scholar named Shao Zhengmao in Lu State who gave lectures. He was a famous man at that time and was called "Wen Ren" (Wen means Wen Da in ancient Chinese, which means famous). His descendants are proud of him and take "Wen Ren" as their surname, which is called Wen Shi. Later, Wen simplified the surname to Wen and passed it down from generation to generation, forming Wen's surname. According to the records of ancient books such as Customs Tong and Records of the Words and Actions of Mingshi, the surname of Wen was originally Wen, and later it was changed to Wen. Therefore, the single surname "Wen" and the compound surname "Wen Ren" are actually the same family born by one father, only after Wen Ren's surname comes first. In other words, Wen's is derived from Wen's. So, when did the surname come from? According to textual research, it was probably formed in the late Tang Dynasty and early Song Dynasty, because there was no record of surnames and activity footprints before that.
Noble families lived in Xing Wu County (now Xing Wu County, Zhejiang Province). Another is the single word Wen surname. After the defeat of Wen Tianxiang (lord protector) Army, its twenty-four sons and their descendants moved from Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province to Xishui (Macheng), Hubei Province. Unlike Wen in the south, this descendant is taller. The word "Wen" was originally changed from the word "Wen" in the forty-six years of Qing Qianlong (178 1). The first revision of Wen's genealogy said, "My surname is Wen and I live in Luling, Ji 'an, Jiangxi. In the second year of Song Jingyan (1277), the Patriotic Army collapsed in an empty pit and its ancestor Liang Fugung was arrested. Now he has fled to Lanqingyi, Qi, and changed "Wen" to "Wen" because of family affairs. "The believer here is Wen Tianxiang, and Qi is today's Xishui County, Hubei Province.
For more than 700 years, Wen's genealogy has adopted this statement, and members of the Wen family also consider themselves descendants of Wen Tianxiang, and most of Wen Yiduo's research circles also admit this statement. However, in 1992, Wen Liming, the author of Wen Yiduo Zhuan, questioned this question with the rigorous attitude of a historian. He said: "This statement is difficult to verify, and the recorded time is 500 years (1277-178 1 year)". "Whether the genealogy is true or not remains to be confirmed." Because "Wen" is also a surname. Wen Yiduo himself is very interested in this problem. When he was studying in Tsinghua, he wanted to write an essay "Wen's First Moral Examination", but due to lack of information, he only wrote such an inconclusive conclusion as "unknown" in his diary.
Third, historical celebrities.
Wen Qixiang: Ming Dynasty. Smart since childhood, love reading, famous articles, ignorant at home. Later, he was recommended to be an official several times, but he refused to go and vowed to be a civilian for life.
Wen Yuankui: Ming Dynasty. Be famous for filial piety. Make friends with others, respect and argue. Jiangyin was instructed by Gong Sheng to move to Shanghai. Strict teaching and setting an example have brought up many talents.
Wen Yiduo: Formerly known as Wen Jiahua (1809- 1946), he is a famous modern poet, scholar and patriot. I studied in America, majoring in art and literature. He joined the Crescent Society in his early years and taught in Qingdao University, Tsinghua University and other schools. He wrote poems such as Red Candle and Dead Water. Later, he took part in the struggle against dictatorship and for democracy. 1946 was assassinated by secret agents in Kunming on July 5, at the age of 47. All the works were compiled by Zhu Ziqing and others into the Complete Works of Wen Yiduo.
Besides, Wen's celebrities include: Wen Xiu Cai, a painter in the Song Dynasty, Wen Jianchang and Wen Shunju, a famous official Wen Keqi, a scholar and an official's minister, Wen, a Guangdong inspector in the Ming Dynasty, and Wen Shen, a stone collector in the Qing Dynasty.
Fourth, the county hall number
1, Jun Wangwu: Wu was placed in the Three Kingdoms period. It is equivalent to the area from Lin 'an, Zhejiang to Xing Xuan, Jiangsu.
2, the hall number is superb: Excellence is extraordinary. In the Ming Dynasty, Wen was brilliant and virtuous. At first, he was an imperial censor. Later, he was promoted to Shao Qing in Dali and sent to Siam to hold the Tiger Festival (Jeff, held as a travel official in ancient times). The tiger festival is used in mountain countries, the employing festival is used in soil countries, and the dragon festival is used in water countries. The official is the provincial judge in Guangdong.
