Many Hunan Liu clansmen met one after another, and even set up a family tracing team to Xiangtan County to help Liu Xungen enthusiastically.
Only one day after Liu Xungen's notice was issued, the genealogy of Liu's five repairs in Xiangtan Chuntang was exposed. At the same time, it is reported that the ancestral temple that Liu is looking for is located in Huashi Town, Xiangtan County. Photo courtesy of Liu Guanfan
Xiangtan county archives, county Shi Zhiban and other official departments have also carried out some clues collection, investigation and verification in a low-key manner.
Many netizens from Henan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and other provinces paid attention to this and introduced clues related to Liu Zu.
The latest information is that more than half a month has passed and no effective progress has been made in finding ancestors in Liu. In the process of helping Liu find ancestors, the two main ancestors-seeking teams had differences and "fought" with each other, and the ancestor-seeking work came to a temporary halt.
When will the large-scale ancestral search begin again? The relevant leaders of the two main ancestral tracing teams and the staff of Xiangtan County Civil Affairs Department all said that it is best for Liu to issue a formal ancestral tracing authorization.
More people in Xiangtan county are concerned about whether there is an unusual significance behind the visit to the hometown of famous entrepreneur Liu: will he invest in Xiangtan?
Just entering 2018,65438 10/2, the founder of the group, Liu, made a sensation.
He announced on his own micro-headline that his family belonged to the Liu family in Xiangtan County, Hunan Province before 1949, where his great-grandfather was born, and later his family moved to Jiangsu for some reason. Liu said in the announcement that due to the early death of his grandfather and grandfather, only limited information is left at present, that is, the hall number of Liu's Zhongtang in Xiangtan and the known generations-loyalty, Zhiqiang and Heping Fuyu (later changed to "loyalty, Zhiqiang and Heping Fuyu"). He hoped that everyone around Xiangtan County and Liu's ancestral hall could help provide clues and find their ancestors.
"There are many heroes in one county in the world." It is an indisputable fact that there are many celebrities in Xiangtan. This time, another business tycoon appeared.
The above-mentioned announcement of seeking ancestors is the most concerned one of all the articles in the micro-headlines. By the morning of June 65438+1October 19, this notice of searching for ancestors had been read 26.07 million times, with 45,000 comments.
Liu's homesickness seems to exceed many people's expectations, but for himself, the idea of finding his ancestors may have a long history. Liu mentioned more than once that his ancestral home is Hunan.
20 14, Han Ping's new book "Young is live high: Liu's New Business Logic" was published. In this book, there is a self-report of Liu about his ancestral home: "My ancestral home is Hunan, my great-grandfather and grandfather were born in Hunan, and my great-grandfather generation is still very rich. After the state engaged in public-private partnership, the family property disappeared, and later it was forced to move to Suqian, Jiangsu Province, and had to stop to make a living. I was born in a village near luoma lake, Suqian, Jiangsu. Because my father can sail, he went to work in a shipyard and became a worker. "
It is also reported that120 17 165438, Liu Ye revealed that he likes spicy food very much. Later, my father told me that my grandfather was from Xiangtan County, Xiangtan City, but my ancestral home was Hunan.
Xiangtan county is located in the north of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, on the surging Hunan River. With a history of 1500 years and profound cultural heritage, it is also the birthplace of Huxiang culture.
Liu Xunzu's notice caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Many netizens outside Hunan Province have also left messages to introduce their hometown and historical information related to Liu.
The netizen "come to take photos in the village" said that Mangdang Mountain in yongcheng city, Henan Province is the place where Liu made his fortune. "On behalf of millions of people in Yongcheng", he welcomed Mangdang Mountain in Liu Qu to have a look. Another netizen in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province said that Fengxian County in Xuzhou is the hometown of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu, and suggested that Xuzhou, Liu Qu, should find his ancestors.
Before Liu Xungen, he went to Juanjiang Village in Huashi Town to worship his ancestors last year. The picture shows Xiaogang Feng's old house in the village. The newspaper reporter Roger Tu
Looking for ancestors
Different from netizens from other provinces, some Liu clansmen in Hunan who are keen on the study of genealogy culture and ancestral temple culture immediately started practical actions after the news of Liu Xunzu was announced.
Just one day after the news of Liu Xunzu was announced, a genealogy of Liu's five repairs in Xiangtan Chuntang was exposed. It is rumored that the "clock" that Liu is looking for is in Maowuwan, Huashi Town, Xiangtan County.
However, this rumor was quickly denied by the official investigation in Huashi Town. On June 3rd, 65438+1October, 65438, Peng, the stationmaster of Huashi Town Cultural and Sports Radio and Television Station, once again confirmed to this newspaper that there is no "bell hall" among the nearly 20 existing ancestral halls in Huashi Town.
Although his surname is not Liu, he is also concerned about Liu's ancestral search. Zhao Bo, a native of Xiangtan County, is currently working in a factory in Baise, Guangxi. 30 years old, began to study genealogy culture three years ago. He is the moderator of Xiangtan Zhao Family Tree Network. "At first, he studied Zhao's genealogy in Xiangtan County, and later he helped Zhang's relatives study their genealogy." In Zhao Bo's view, it is very meaningful to let the family's excellent cultural heritage continue better.
1 At the beginning, Hunan Liu's Friendship Association and his party asked about the genealogy at Liu Benchao's home in Huangjingping Village, Paitou Township.
1 At the beginning of the year, after seeing the news of Liu Xunzu on the Internet, I began to consult the relevant materials of Liu's genealogy in Xiangtan County, and even logged on the American website to consult the database.
"According to the hall number and word generation provided by Liu, I haven't found a clear clue yet." Zhao Bo revealed to this newspaper that he has been reading "Guangxu Xiangtan County Records" compiled by Wang Kaiyun and Chen Jiayu in the past two days. "This book should have a preliminary introduction to the ancestral temple in Xiangtan, and maybe something can be found out, but it is best for Liu Neng to provide more accurate information about his ancestors. If you have the specific names of his great-grandfather and his grandfather, it may be easier to find. "
Tan Jingjiang, the 54-year-old former director of Xiangtan County Archives, was also busy for a while. Tan Jingjiang consulted a large number of documents. "Unfortunately, there is no harvest. But on June 5438+ 101,he told the newspaper that as a researcher in this field, even if Liu is not a well-known entrepreneur, he will help to find clues within his power, and said that "in fact, many people are looking for relatives in Xiangtan through various channels."
Wang Jianye, the current director of Xiangtan County Archives, is also one of the people who helped to find ancestors. According to him, although the Xiangtan county government did not explicitly send a document to help Liu Xungen, the archives and other departments are also tacitly collecting and checking clues.
Wang Jianye revealed to the newspaper that they had mentioned to the towns below Xiangtan County that if there were clues, they could provide them and they would check them one by one. "I heard that Liu's ancestors used to be boatmen, and we also went to the shipping company in Xiangtan County to learn about the situation, but it did not match the information provided by him (Liu)." In an office of Xiangtan County Archives, Wang Jianye told this newspaper.
Wang Jianye also provided the newspaper with a document, namely The Origin of Xiangtan Surnames published by China Literature and History Publishing House in 2009. This is a book of "seeking roots and ancestors, especially applicable". The author of this book is Yan Guangrun, director of Xiangtan County Literature and History Committee of CPPCC.
"This book introduces Liu's ancestral source and Liu's county in Xiangtan County, but there is no relevant record of Liu's Zhong." Wang Jianye said.
Our reporter leafed through the Origin of Xiangtan Surnames. In the chapter of Origin Language, several hall numbers of Liu's surname were introduced, which were further subdivided into place name hall numbers, allusion hall numbers and enlightenment hall numbers, but there was really no record of the hall numbers attached to "Zhong".
According to Red Net, Liu Zhe, a genealogist and founder of China Surname Lecture Hall, believes that the hall number of ancestral hall will not be displayed on tombstones. Tombstones generally have two pillars. Many tombstones are engraved with "Zhong Ling Yu Xiu" on the left and "Outstanding Person" on the right, so Liu Zhe guessed whether the hall number provided by Liu Dongqiang was wrong.
disagree
The Liu family in Hunan made the greatest efforts to help Liu Xunzu, among which Liu Guanfan, who claimed to be the president of Hunan Liu Society, and Liu Jide, the president of Hunan Han Culture Research Association and Hunan Liu Friendship Association, received the most attention.
According to Red Net's previous report, Liu Xunzu's announcement was issued only two days ago. Liu Guanfan, who was over 60 years old, rushed to Huashi Town, Xiangtan County in the early morning of 654381October 4 to look for the "clock" and genealogy mentioned in the announcement.
At that time, the word generation information provided by Liu was still "loyalty, strong loyalty, happiness and jade". Liu Guanfan thought that the blood of the Liu family was lost from his great-grandfather, so he tried to find the Liu family with the word "loyalty".
To this end, Liu Guanfan also took a stack of Liu's genealogy into the household registration room of Huashi Town Police Station, trying to find more information. However, the relevant person in charge of the police station refused Liu Guanfan's request on the grounds that he could not disclose citizens' privacy at will.
Unwilling Liu Guanfan, in the next two days, went to Yijiawan Town and Hengshan Mountain in Xiangtan County to find more information about Liu's genealogy and Liu's ancestral hall.
Like Liu Guanfan, Liu Jide was on the move for some time. On October 5th, 65438/kloc-0, the Hunan Chinese Culture Research Association, where Liu Jide is located, issued the "Emergency Notice on Helping Dong Qiangzong to Seek Roots" in the form of "No.1 Document" to carry out root-seeking operations in Hunan.
At the same time, Liu Jide also took a five-member team to several villages below Huashi Town in Xiangtan County to look for Liu's clan relatives and look up the word generation, but found nothing.
In the process of helping Liu Xungen, Liu Guanfan and Liu Jide had differences, disputes and even blamed each other.
According to Caijing Tianxia (65438+1October 10), the two sides quarreled when they met on the way to find their ancestors on1October 4. Liu Jide, who is 10 years younger than Liu Guanfan, accused Liu Guanfan of being a "liar known all over the world" and disclosed that Liu Guanfan "has no president". He only briefly joined the Liu's Friendship Association in Hunan Province, and was cleared out of the meeting after less than a month as a director.
Liu Guanfan argued that he quit the Liu's Friendship Association in Hunan Province because he disagreed with Liu Jide. "I don't care about him, let him do it himself, but I still have the brand of Hunan Liu's Friendship Association."
Such differences also made Liu Guanfan very angry. On the evening of June 5438+1October 1 1, Liu Guanfan also complained in his own WeChat group that Liu Jide had interfered with Liu Xungen in helping him ask about his ancestors. A clansman surnamed Liu also advised: "We are all a family and there should be no contradiction. We should help each other, tolerate each other and tolerate each other. "
stagnate
After the differences appeared, Liu Guanfan and Liu Jide had no intention of continuing to help Liu Xunzu, and the large-scale ancestral search came to a standstill.
In the past 10 days, Liu Guanfan took an active part in his social activities, visited enterprises in Guangzhou, Changsha, Huaihua and other places, gave lectures in universities and accepted appointments.
Liu Guanfan told the newspaper that he didn't help Liu find his ancestors out of a celebrity mentality. He feels that he is doing something meaningful, but he doesn't want to be disturbed, so he hopes to get a formal power of attorney from Liu.
Liu Jide also stopped the big move of finding relatives, claiming that he could not stand being mixed with "liars". He also hopes to gain the trust of Liu and get a formal letter of entrustment, and then mobilize the members of Hunan Liu's hometown association to help find their ancestors.
A great mobilization of celebrities to find their roots has gradually weakened.
Juanjiang Village, Huashi Town, Xiangtan County, which was previously known as the "Bell Hall", has also restored some tranquility.
It took more than an hour to drive from Xiangtan County and pass by a lotus pond before arriving at Juanjiang Village. Before Liu announced the search for roots, the famous director came here in June 2006 to worship his ancestors. The old house in Xiaogang Feng has now become a landmark in the village.
For the villagers in Juanjiang Village, many people know about Liu, but not many people know about Liu before he found his ancestors.
At noon on June 3rd, 65438+ 10, the 85-year-old recalled to this newspaper that at the beginning of June, many Liu clan relatives and media reporters suddenly found him and asked him about Liu's ancestral hall and genealogy. Once, he once committed a total "what happened".
After learning that Liu, a business tycoon, is looking for his ancestors, Liu told the tourists what he knew about Liu's genealogy.
"It is not easy for him (Liu) to find his ancestors. I know that some of Liu's genealogies have not been revised for nearly a hundred years. I'm over 80 years old, and I'm not in the family tree. The information he provides must be accurate in order to check. " Liu told the newspaper that his Liu's hall number was Peng, and the information he learned about Liu's word generation had 20 words, which could not be checked with the 8 words provided by Liu.
Some villagers asked our reporter about Liu Xungen's progress. They laughed when they learned that there was no accurate clue. They believe that this may mean that the village may still be associated with celebrities again.
expect
After work, people who work in a department of Xiangtan county government also actively contact friends to find clues for Liu Xunzu.
Zhang Yafeng's mentality is simple and simple. "If it is finally confirmed that his ancestral home is somewhere in Xiangtan County and he is a businessman, can he come to us to invest in some big projects and drive the development here?"
Zhang Yafeng thinks this should also be the expectation of more Xiangtan people.
To some extent, his expectation coincides with Liu's local complex.
Many previous reports mentioned Liu's generous return home. 2065438+In February 2005, Liu returned to his hometown in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, where he was born, and gave a red envelope of 10,000 yuan to more than 600 elderly people over 60 years old in the village.
In June 5438+last year 10, Liu returned to Suqian with his wife ZhangZetian to attend the 90th anniversary celebration of his alma mater, Suqian Middle School.
Liu's feedback to Suqian does not stop there. In recent years, JD.COM Group, which he founded, has successively implemented national customer service center, information research and development processing center, financial settlement center, logistics management center, cloud computing base and other important projects in Suqian.
Such rebates have also enabled Suqian to form a large-scale e-commerce industrial zone, which has solved the employment problem of more than 10,000 people and contributed more than 2 billion yuan in tax revenue.
For many people in Xiangtan, whether Liu's ancestral home in Xiangtan will become the second Suqian and whether it will usher in more business opportunities is more important than an announcement of finding ancestors.
