In June, 2006, 165438+ 10, Fang Henggui visited Linzi, Shandong Province, and found that "none of the more than 3,000 villagers living there had a surname of Fang". Fang's cenotaph has been destroyed and disappeared, and China Prime Minister's Museum has no genealogical information about Fang.
In this case, from Fang to Jackie Chan, there is a considerable gap in the context of this inheritance, and the context is unclear. Fang Henggui told reporters that it is not wrong for Jackie Chan to recognize Fang as an ancestor according to his genealogy, but it is wrong for Jackie Chan to skip the fact that his family moved several times and recognize the hometown of an ancestor 1400 years ago as his only hometown.
Anhui county was identified as Jackie Chan's ancestral home.
According to the customary view, "ancestral home" generally refers to the place where my grandfather or father's family lived for a long time. "Jackie Chan's ancestors lived in Anhui County for more than 500 years, so their ancestral home should be Anhui County." Fang Henggui said. He told reporters that Fang Sheng, the originator of Anhui County Branch, moved from Yangzhou to Anhui County when he was in Ming Taizu. According to genealogical records, he is a direct descendant of Fang, but there is no continuous record from Fang to Fang times and from Fang times to Fang times. It can only be said that Jackie Chan is a descendant of Fang. As for ancestral home, Anhui county should be recognized as ancestral home as usual, not Fang's ancestral home in Linzi, Shandong Province.
Why did Jackie Chan mistake Linzi, Shandong Province for his ancestral home? Fang Henggui speculated that Jackie Chan might be tired of fame. "You recognize Linzi in Shandong, just recognize a symbol, and there is no burden. After all, there is no last name there. " According to its investigation, there are no residents with Fang surname in Linzi, Shandong Province, but there are still 1500 villagers with Fang surname in Fangqiao Village, Shenxiang Town, Anhui County, including Jackie Chan's two half-brothers, Fang Shide and Fang. Perhaps Jackie Chan is worried that too many clansmen are entangled with Fang's surname. "Jackie Chan's recognition of his ancestors made the Linyi government in Shandong extremely happy and invited Jackie Chan to visit for many times, which undoubtedly improved Linyi's popularity and brought many benefits to the local area. But as a researcher in the cultural history of surnames, it is necessary for me to correct some misconceptions in society. " Fang Henggui said.
Fang Henggui issued a solemn statement yesterday, refuting rumors.
Jackie Chan doesn't need to "climb celebrities"
Since the news that Jackie Chan recognized Fang as his ancestor spread on the Internet, there have been many comments from netizens. Recently, a media article in Hunan, "Jackie Chan's recognition of Fang as the ancestor is just wishful thinking", once again triggered a hot discussion on the Internet. According to the statistics of reporters, negative comments account for more than 90%, and most netizens think that Jackie Chan's recognition of Fang as a "famous ancestor" is too hasty.
In this regard, Fang Henggui issued a solemn statement through this newspaper, saying that Hunan Daily did not interview him, which mistakenly caused criticism from netizens. He is deeply sorry for the possible harm to Mr. Jackie Chan. Fang Henggui said that Jackie Chan has become a world-famous celebrity. "He doesn't need to climb such a famous ancestor to increase his fame. He admits that Fang is a smart, caring and learned generation. As his ancestor, this shows the love of his other family. "
