Yongjia's rebellion is said to be a southern crossing, which is a satrap for Jian' an; Children scattered in wuyue, or home in Lingui. (Collected Works of Hanbin, Volume 15)
Although this statement is brief, it is quite representative, which is basically consistent with the records in Lingui County Records of Ming Chenghua and the existing Shi family tree, except that the latter moved south in the late years of Jianxing in the Western Jin Dynasty (3 17), which was a few years late. There are also great differences in academic circles about the time when Shi moved south. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Song said in "Stone Mu Zhi":
Shi is a member of the Youth Association. In the early Tang Dynasty, Zumou fled to Vietnam because his home was near Guangxi. (Collection of Official Documents of Su and Wei Dynasties, Volume 55)
The time when Shi moved south is said to be in the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty. Both of them are from the epitaph of the Song Dynasty, but the time is far apart. There is even a saying that Shi Nan moved to Laoling in the late Tang Dynasty to avoid the Huang Chao Rebellion. The main reason for these different views is probably the loss of Shi's genealogy in the early Song Dynasty. This is clearly stated in the Preface to the Revision of Music by Shi Zizhong, a descendant of the Shishi family in Xinchang, Southern Song Dynasty:
Since Sun Jian 'an, the 15th president of Wan, the Shijia family has been the prefect of Yuan Dynasty, and crossed the river from the end of the first year of Jin Jianxing, living in the southeast. The former's ambition was that Li Si's captain was promoted to the ancestor of crossing the river, or that the rebellion of avoiding nests in the late Tang Dynasty began with the migration of Leling. Gai is scattered according to genealogy, so it is not right. The ancestors of our ancestors began to collect epitaphs and family biographies, which were related to historical books and the genealogy was positive. (Preface of Shi Family Tree in Nanming)
After the Huang Chao Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty and the wars in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, most of the genealogies of surnames before the Tang Dynasty have been lost. Cheng Hao in Song Dynasty said that "the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties led to the loss of the old genealogy, and the order of the world could not be known again" (Preface to Cheng Genealogy). Therefore, Shi Zizhong's statement is credible and accords with the facts at that time.
The revision of the stone score of Lingui in Song Dynasty began with Shi Gongbi, but it was at the end of Northern Song Dynasty. Prior to this, the descendants of the Shi family in Lingui described their family history in confusion. Judging from the existing epitaph, genealogy and local chronicles of the Shi family in the Southern Song Dynasty, the records of the origin of the Shi family were relatively unified after entering the Southern Song Dynasty, which may be related to the revision of genealogy by Shi Gongbi at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
By the mid-Southern Song Dynasty, history even had a relatively complete pedigree. During the Southern Song Dynasty, both Lu You and Du tried to mention Shi's genealogy. In addition, you can also give an example. Zhou Bida's Wen Zhong Ji (Volume 75) and Dr. Shi's Epitaph Officer (Daily Question) record:
Cheng Tong, the minister of this dynasty, condemned Baozhou as taboo and Shiwan as the grandson of the 40th generation. Great-grandfather, army chaos, he was killed, Mr. Hu is an inscription.
The epitaph says that Gao Zushi should be the 40th grandson of Wan Shi Fan, which is consistent with the existing records of Shi Shi's genealogy. The epitaph was written in the third year of Jiatai (1203), indicating that by the time of Jiatai in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lingui Stone Chambers had a complete pedigree since the Western Han Dynasty. The genealogy of Shi compiled in the Southern Song Dynasty has been lost, but it is speculated that its core content about the origin and early lineage of Shi should be the same as that recorded in the existing genealogy of Shi. In other words, the core content of the existing Shi Family Tree about the origin of the Shi family and the early pedigree before the Song Dynasty actually inherited the records of the genealogy of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (196-589) was a turbulent period in the history of China, and it was also a period of frequent population migration and ethnic integration. During the reign of Emperor Huidi in the Western Jin Dynasty (29 1-306), the "Eight Kings Rebellion" occurred, and the people in the northern part of the Central Plains suffered great disasters. At the same time, the ruling power of the Western Jin Dynasty was greatly weakened. At this time, Huns Liu Yuan, Schleswig-Holstein and other conference semifinals took the opportunity to fight against Jin, which was called "five wild flowers" in history. In the fifth year of Yongjia (3 1 1), Schleswig wiped out 200,000 Jin Army in Guxian County (now Lu Yi, Henan Province), then Liu Yao captured Luoyang, killed more than 30,000 officials and exiled Jin Huaidi to Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi Province). This is the famous "Yongjia Rebellion" in history. Five years later, Chang 'an also fell, and the Western Jin Dynasty, which existed for 38 years, came to an end. When the Jin Dynasty moved south, Si Marui called himself Emperor Jianye (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), which was called the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history. In order to avoid the slaughter of Hu rulers, the northern gentry and tycoons and a large number of ordinary people kept crossing the river and fled to the south of the relatively stable Yangtze River. The Biography of Wang Dao in the Book of Jin said: "When Luo Jing was overthrown, sixteen or seven women and men in Zhongzhou fled to the left bank of the Yangtze River (that is, Jiangdong, which refers to the area east of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River)", and more than half of them moved south. During this period, it is entirely possible that the Shi family who originally lived in Laoling, Shandong Province began to migrate to Jiangdong. At this time, the clans of the Central Plains who flowed to Jiangdong mostly stayed in Jingkou, Danyang (now Zhenjiang) and Jianye (now Nanjing) at first.
According to Lingui's genealogy of Nanming history, at the end of Jianxing (3 17), Shi Yuan (Shi Yanqing's epitaph is Shi Ju), the fifteenth prefect of Shi's family, crossed the river from Si Marui, the emperor of Jin Dynasty, and lived in Danyang (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), and his descendants were distributed in Jiangzuo. When Shiyuan supported the Northern and Southern Dynasties, later generations moved to Shaoxing, Zhejiang. During the Tang Dynasty, this stone family lived in Shanggang (now Shangjiang Village, Pukou Town, Shengzhou City) in the east. In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (837), Shi Yuan, the 35th Shi family, moved from Shanggang to Shiniu Town, Wu Shan Township (now outside the West Gate of Xinchang County). In the first year of Xian Tong (860), Qiu Fu rose up and broke the county. Ishihara moved to Huangtan to avoid chaos and was buried in Pingdingshan nearby. Lingui stone chamber has doubled.
