Wu's ancestral editor
Taber has no children. Although her surname Wu originated from him, today's Wu is not his direct descendant, but the blood of her second brother Wu. Therefore, many surname books say that it is Wu's ancestor, not Wu's ancestor. Wu and Taibo went to southern Jiangsu today. After Taber's death, he succeeded to the throne of Wu. Inherit the business started by my brother. After his death, he was buried in Yushan near the State of Wu. Up to now, the tomb of Wu is still at the foot of Yushan Mountain in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province. There are three stone archways in front of the tomb. The first archway was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, with the inscription "Building the Tomb Gate of Saint Zhong Yong"; On the front of the second stone archway is a four-character plaque inscribed by Cao Xiuxian, the governor of Jiangnan, which reads "There is public blessing in the south"; On the front of Mishima stone archway, there is a banner with five characters "Tomb of Saint Yu Zhong". Carve a pair of couplets on the stone pillars on both sides, which read:
At that time, it was a disaster,
Thousands of famous mountains are still in danger.
Yu Zhong's tomb is behind the archway, and there are four tombstones on it. In the middle is Lu Zhen's inscription:) 6. So far, it has been highly praised by people in Changshu area.
Speaking of Wu, we can't help but mention Wang Shoumeng's fourth son.
There are three reasons: first, he gave way to death twice, and he was at arm's length from Wu politics, and his life was accompanied by the history of Wu's rise and fall; Secondly, Ji Zha is not only versatile, but also different people have different opinions. He was once regarded as "the third person of supreme virtue" by later generations, which is a milestone in the history of China's moral development. Third, Ji Zha's descendants are very developed. Today, most of Wu's genealogy says that he comes from, and he is regarded as an ancestor. It can be seen that he is really a connecting link in the history of Wu Xueyuan.
At the beginning, in order to avoid the throne, Ji Zha escaped from the royal family, fled to the countryside of Yanling, and became a farmer. Eldest brother Zhu Fan had no choice but to give him the Yanling area where Ji Zha fled as a fief. Therefore, people call him "ji zi in Yanling".
Ji Zha (Zhangzi) sealed Yanling, where his family followed, and a generation lived here. Therefore, Yanling became one of the chiefs of Wu in later generations. Yanling City, sealed by Ji Zha, is located in Nanyancheng, Changzhou, Jiangsu. During the Qin Dynasty, Yanling County was subordinate to Huiji County. The Han Dynasty changed to Piling County; The Western Jin Dynasty changed Piling County to Jinling County, which was divided into Jiyang County of Piling County and Yanling County of Yanling Town of Dantuqu Township. Piling County is today's Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Jiyang County is today's Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, Yanling County is today's Danyang City, Jiangsu Province, and there is Yanling Town in the southwest of this county. Later generations of Yanling County should include today's above two counties and Changzhou area.
After Ji Zha's death, he was buried in Yanling, where he escaped farming and his first fief. The Yuejueshu Wudi Biography records that Yan Ji Ling, a man buried in Piling Lake, also arrived in Qili County. The upstream lake leads to the upstream continent. Fund-raising was called Yanling market in ancient times. Shang Hu is in the east of Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, northwest of the former Furong Lake. Since the Ming Dynasty, lakes have been surrounded by farmland. Du You's "General Code" contains: "There is a tomb of Ji Zi in Shenpu, Jinling." The application for Hong Kong is now the application for Hong Kong in the west of Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province. To commemorate, the Wu people built a temple on his tomb. Today, there are five temples of Wu in Jiangsu Province: one in Jiangyin Shengang, one in Xijiuli Temple in Yanling Town, Danyang, and three in Changzhou. According to legend, after Ji Zha's death, Confucius wrote a cross inscription: "Alas, there is a tomb of a gentleman in Wu Yanling", which is now found in five temples in ji zi.
Ji zi Temple in Danyang County. According to legend, incense has been burning in the temple since confession, Qin and Han dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty (707-709 AD), Di Renjie destroyed various temples south of the Yangtze River. Only Jiuli ji zi Temple is well preserved and has not been destroyed; There is a record of the cross tablet written by Confucius in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yin Zhongrong was ordered to copy and expand the inscription. In the 14th year of Emperor Taizong's reign, Ding Xiao, the secretariat of Runzhou, carved an inscription, placed it in ji zi Temple and rebuilt it. During the Song Dynasty, Yang Jie, the magistrate of Song Runzhou, wrote a letter and named the temple "jia county Temple". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Ning Zong named Ji Zi Zhao Dehou. Sacrificial ceremonies are held on April 13 and August 18 every year. Today, in ji zi Temple in Danyang County, the cross tombstone is still there; The original monument was broken into two pieces, and today's monument was rebuilt at 1982.
Ji zi Temple in Jiangyin Shengang is also large in scale. According to the Inscription of ji zi Temple in Jiangyin written by ZHU Yan, the prefect of Changzhou in Song Dynasty, ji zi's tomb in Shengang, Jiangyin is the true tomb of ji zi in ancient Yanling. This conclusion was confirmed by a visit to Zhao, the magistrate of Jiangyin County. At that time, there was already ji zi Temple here. Therefore, Zhu Yan carved the Confucius cross tablet from the ji zi Temple in Danyang, and placed it on ji zi's tomb in Shenzhen and Hong Kong to erect a memorial to ji zi.
Unfortunately, now, Wujizi Temple in Jiangyin's Shen 'ang and three ji zi temples in Changzhou have all been destroyed, leaving only the cross monument.
According to various genealogical data of Wu, as well as classical and official records, he married his wife Yan and gave birth to five sons, all of whom were able men. The eldest son died young, his name is not recorded, and there is no way to verify it now. "Talking about Bow Betting" records that the eldest son died and was buried between Yingbo (now the northwest of Laiwu County, Shandong Province). Today, there is also the tomb of Wu Yanling's eldest son, and the cross tablet inscribed by Confucius, "Alas, there is the tomb of a gentleman in Wu Yanling", probably copied by later generations from Jiangsu. The second son Wu also moved to Qi, the third son Wu Zhongdao, the fourth son Wu and the fifth son. Wu, the descendant of these four sons, has a large population and increasingly prosperous clan, and gradually developed into most branches of Wu in later generations, forming the vast majority of members of the Wu family today. Therefore, most branches of Wu surname today take Wu as their ancestor.
According to the Book of Surnames, Wu lived in Yanling, and later generations took Yan as their surname and Yanling as their surname. Therefore, the son of Yanling became the ancestor of the Yan family and Yanling family today.
