Xiande Mai, a fighting hero, is a household name in Chaoshan area. However, Jingzhou Town, Raoping County is the main settlement of wheat people in Chaoshan.
According to relevant documents, Mai's family appeared late in history, starting from Mai's family in Sui Dynasty.
Mai (556-6 12), whose real name is Rao Feng, was born in Nanxiong, Guangdong. It is said that when there were few iron staff, Ren Xia was upright, and every time he took fishing and hunting as his profession, he died of hard work. Xiao Yong has enough physical strength to walk 500 miles every day, including walking and riding. Chen (China) is a thief, but he doesn't have a formal family. He is equipped with an imperial umbrella. He robs South Xuzhou every night, but he still holds an umbrella. Chen Wu returned to Sui Dynasty, made meritorious military service repeatedly, and served as the general of Runa Prefecture and Right Tunwei. In the Liaodong War (Korean conquest), he was hired as a striker when he was sick, so he died in the battlefield and gave it to Dr. Guanglu, Su Guogong and Wu Lie. Give birth to the third son, Long Caimeng, and grant Dr. Guanglu; I only visited Dr. Zheng Yi in the second and third seasons.
According to Mai's genealogy, Emperor Wendi asked him if he wanted any position. He replied, "I can eat a bucket of wheat every day!" " The emperor joked, "Give your surname Mai and three official gifts." . Later generations of Mai took this as the origin of Mai. But what's Mai's last name? Say the last name, but there is no evidence to test.
Where did the "wheat" of wheat come from? Lu Jiuzhou, a scholar, famous philosopher and educator in the Southern Song Dynasty, prefaced the Genealogy of Mai Family in Jiangxi in five years (1 178), saying, "Looking at Mai Family in Shixing County, East Guangdong, it is said that Mai is in the Spring and Autumn Period. Liang Sigong (Wu Mai) and Huang Zhuan were also behind Tang Yin. With a long history, it is impossible to test its auspiciousness. Since then, I have had an ancestral iron staff, which was sealed by lord protector, and I was martyred to give my surname to Ge Weimai. " Strange surnames: "Liang Sigong (Wu Mai) (Huang Zhuan), (Wu Mai) Yinmai". "Guang Yun" is translated into (Wu Mai) and (Huang Zhuan) (the sound is turbulent). According to the above inference, because (Wu Mai) and (Gomai) are both ancient and uncommon sons, later generations gave up using them one by one, resulting in the loss of their surnames. By the time the iron staff arrived, they had become dignitaries, both famous and should have surnames. It is also reasonable to take (Gomez) to Gotham, and the wheat is beginning to come out.
Mai Tiezhang became one of the ancestors of Maishi in China, and Nanxiong in Guangdong became the birthplace of Maishi. To 12 generation, there was Maichi, whose name was Renchang, and he moved to the whole county of Fujian to avoid the chaos of the Five Dynasties. Mai's family propagated in Kaiji County, Fujian Province and spread to the Southern Song Dynasty. There is a man named Mai Jincheng who lives in Putian, Fujian. In the seventh year of Chunyou (1247), Ding Wei was a scholar, and the official appointed Zuo Chunfang as cabinet secretary. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xie Zhuan's family moved south to Shangdong Village in Raoping to create a residence. Because his descendants were engaged in fishing and hunting, they passed on to the descendants of Sun Maimeiji, moved between Ming Chenghua and moved back to Lingzhou Island. Since Zifan, the number of Mais in Lingzhou has reached more than 654.38+0.5 million, and some of them have moved to Zhouxian, Junbu, Shantou Daitou and Lufeng Jieshi in Raoping County, and
There is also a Mai family in Chaoshan, who is said to be from Yangjiang and originated from Dongpu, Chenghai. And Maiyu, whose name is Huan Chong. He was a member of the Imperial Examination in Bingwu during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1606). During the Chongzhen period, he served as the magistrate of Mianyang, Hubei Province. He has literature, studied officialdom and developed a sensitive voice. When he had a smooth sailing, he resigned and came back.
