Photo of Dehai calligrapher

Yesterday, I wrote an article saying that An Dehai, a six-product eunuch favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, wanted to take the opportunity of buying a dress for the wedding of Emperor Tongzhi to visit the south of the Yangtze River. After leaving Beijing, he paraded around the city, making friends with local officials, taking bribes, demanding money, and breaking all the rules for eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty. Finally, it was planted in the hands of Shandong Governor Ding Baozhen. After being arrested, he was beheaded at the request of the military department. Even Zeng Guofan admired his courage.

Ding Baozhen later became an official, became the governor of Sichuan, and went to Beijing to give thanks. Empress Dowager Cixi also gave him a calligraphy with the words "the treasure box of the country" written on it, forgetting that he killed An Dehai. Ding Baozhen is enterprising and honest. Although he raised a lot of money, he spent a lot of money. He is always ready to help those who have no money. So when he died, he owed a lot of debts and was one of the most distinctive senior officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Some readers said: "I don't know what happened to Ding Gu's descendants. So great, may future generations be blessed. "

The reader's demand is my motivation, so I immediately turned to the draft of Qing history, which read: "There are five sons, often very famous, who are officials and envoys in Guangdong."

As can be seen from the above, he has five sons, and Ding Tichang is the most promising and is the envoy of Guangdong.

It is also written in the encyclopedia, and several other sons have also been small officials.

Ding Ti often has two sons, the eldest is Ding Daozhou. He used to be "deputy director of the Mint Bureau of the Ministry of Finance". It seems that he is a fat job. After the Japanese attack, he didn't want to be a traitor and took refuge in the Tianjin Concession. Because there was no source of income, the family finally declined, and the house in Shandong was sold to others.

Ding Daozhou has a son Ding Zeting, and Ding Zeting has a son named Ding Jian. 10 years ago, he said in an interview that his family had long regarded Shandong as their hometown. When they need to fill in the information, their ancestral home is Shandong, not Ding Baozhen's hometown, Pingyuan, Guizhou. Because nearly 150 years ago, Ding Baozhen's mother died, and she was worried at home. During the uprising, he sold the iron in the pot, ruined his family and relieved his difficulties. The industry in Guizhou has long since disappeared.

Ding Jian's daughter is studying in Jinan. They are all ordinary people.

Among Ding Baozhen's other grandchildren, Ding Jindao is very famous. "He used to be the director of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of Finance, the salt ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi Province, and the deployment ambassador of Shandong Province".

I searched this name, and I saw one thing-1920, Ding was appointed as the chief financial officer. He used his position and power to borrow 3.2 million taels of silver from the official bank, but he never paid it back, which led to the failure to cash the silver ticket.

It seems that this CFO is not very competent.

Where are his descendants? Given the level, I didn't find it. Even Ding himself has not established an encyclopedia entry. I think his descendants should be as ordinary as Ding Jian.

Ordinary people are good. Compared with the capriciousness of their ancestors in officialdom, the life of ordinary people is quite good.
