Recently, the fantasy suspense drama " Tang Dynasty Strange Stories " is coming to an end. The play was originally written as Wei Fenghua's novel of the same name, based on 's Tang Dynasty 's notebook novel "Youyang Zazu". The play presents a magical version of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, prosperous and prosperous, and all countries come to , there are immortals, ghosts and magic tricks. As the plot progressed, the cases were solved one by one, and the official corruption and civil suffering of the Tang Dynasty were also revealed. It turned out that the prosperous Tang Dynasty seemed to be full of flowers, but the foundation under the mud was rotten.
The clansmen are powerful and not controlled by the local government. For example, Cui Wuji said: "Even if the four surnames are commoners, they are still proud of the officials." The four surnames "Cui Lu Li Zheng" mentioned in the play are actually intercepted from " five surnames and seven Wang" from Sui and Tang . The five surnames and seven looks are the Li family in Longxi, the Li family in Zhaojun, the Cui family in Boling, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Fanyang family, the Lu family, the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Wang family in Taiyuan. The protagonist of the young general, Lu Lingfeng, was born into a noble family, the Fan Yang Lu family. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the chaotic political structure and factors such as the ninth grade Zhongzheng system led to numerous wealthy families and aristocratic families in the Central Plains. These aristocratic families are often talented and have been officials from generation to generation. They accumulate a lot of wealth and land, and at the same time monopolize the power of knowledge and education, so they have extremely high social status and prestige. In modern terms, these gatekeepers are huge interest groups that integrate official, business, academic, and media together. There are two
Boling Cui and Qinghe Cui
Cui surname , the common ancestor can be traced back to Jiang Shang of Zhou Dynasty . The descendant Jiang Jizi took Cui as his surname because his food was collected in Cuiyi. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the Cui clan inherited the marquis, including one generation of Cui Ye and Cui Zhongmu, who lived in Qinghe and Boling separately. After hundreds of years of operation, their descendants have been officials from generation to generation, and talented people have come out in large numbers. They are called Boling Cui and Qinghe Cui . In the Western Jin Dynasty , the surname Cui was the head of the northern gentry, and people at that time were ranked "Cui Lu Wang Xie".
Fan Yang Lu
Fan Yang Lu also originated from Jiang Taigong , and was surnamed Lu because of his descendant fief Lu Yi. Later generations, Lu Ao, served as Dr. Qin Dynasty. Because he moved to Fanyang, he was called Fanyang Lu in later generations. Fan Yang Lu has many high-ranking officials, such as Lu Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty , Sikong Lu Yu of Cao Wei , and Jin Sikong Lu Chen. At the time of and of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lu also entered the ranks of the first-class family "Wang Cui Lu Li Zheng".
Longxi Li and Zhao JunLi
Longxi Li and Zhaojun Li both originated from the Qin Dynasty Situ Li Tan, his eldest son Li ChongrenLongxi county county governor, is the ancestor of Longxi Li. The youngest son, Li Ji, is the ancestor of Zhaojun Li.
In the history, Longxi Li was the general for generations, such as the general of the Qin Dynasty Li Xin, the flying general of the Han Dynasty Li Guang, and Li Guang's grandson Li Ling was defeated and captured, which led to the decline of Longxi Li. Until the Li Hao of the Wei and Jin Dynasties took advantage of the troubled times to establish the Xiliang Kingdom, and finally Li Yuan of the late Sui Dynasty established the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak. The Li family in Zhaojun is the second largest branch of the Li surname. Li Mu, one of the four famous generals in the Warring States Period, is the son of Li Ji.
The ancestors of the Zheng clan in Xingyang and the Wang clan in Taiyuan
The ancestors of the Zheng clan in Xingyang can be traced back to the state of Zheng during the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was a prominent era for the surname Zheng. Later, it gradually declined, until during the period of and in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than ten prime ministers and ministers in succession, which was called "Zheng Banchao" at that time. In the history of
, the Wang clan has the most prefectures, of which the Taiyuan branch is the most famous, and the Wang clan in the world comes out of Taiyuan. There were Wang Yun from the Eastern Han Dynasty before, and Wang Bo , Wang Zhihuan , Wang Changling , Wang Wei , etc. from the Tang Dynasty. These celebrities all came from the Taiyuan Wang family.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the most top-level aristocratic clans were these five surnames and seven Wang.You can see their social status by cultivating the history of the country and marrying women with five surnames. These gatekeepers not only have extremely high social influence among the people, but sometimes they can even ignore the royal family.
During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin ordered the compilation of " Clan Chronicle ". At the beginning, the editors listed the Cui family of Boling as the first class, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan ranked the second class, but the royal family of the Li family was listed as the third class. This ranking caused Li Shimin to be outraged and demanded to be rewritten. The last new edition of the "Clan Chronicle" ranked the royal family Li as the first, the later patriarch Sun ranked second, and Boling Cui and other families ranked third. However, within the folk and family, this ranking has not played a substantive role.
With the implementation of the imperial examination system, as well as the promotion of the Han people by Taizong, Gaozong, Wu Zetian , the five surnames and seven Wangs and other clans gradually declined, but they are still behemoths. For example, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic family rose again, and the talents within the clan filled the court. This may be because they adapted to the imperial examinations and the decline of the central royal family caused by the Anshi Rebellion.
