Source and detailed explanation

1. Take on the bulk

Apart from occupying the main part of the family property, zongzi also inherited the title of the old parent. In the clan, whether offering sacrifices to ancestors, funerals or feasting guests, zongzi was the main one. (1) in Shi Da Ya ban: "Huaide Weining lived in Ziwei city. No city is bad, no one is afraid. " Zheng xuanjian: "zongzi is the legitimate son of the king." (2) in the book of rites, it is said that "the legitimate son and the common son are only the wives of the sons. Although you are rich, you don't dare to enter the family of your son; although you are not rich, you don't dare to enter the family of your son. If the children are still given utensils, clothes, furs, blankets, chariots and horses, they will offer them, and then dare to take them. If it is not offered, they dare not enter the clan. I dare not impose wealth on my father and brother's clan. If they are rich, they will have two sacrifices. They will offer their sages to the patriarch. The couple will respect each other. After the end of the matter, dare to sacrifice privately. " Press only, respect. Give it away. Virtuous, superior. (3) in Shi Tong Shi Jia written by Liu Zhiji of Tang Dynasty, "it is not the case in Han Dynasty. Those who are called kings by their descendants are all controlled by the capital and come from the same Prefecture." (4) in the inscription of Fang's ancestral temple written by Liu Dahuai of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that "if the feudal system is abolished and the large-scale system fails, then the small clan will have no basis. So zongzi became the head of the clan (5) Fang Xiaoru's Tiantai Chen ancestral temple records of the Ming Dynasty: "if you cut a thousand acres of land for ritual. Please ask the son of the clan to offer sacrifices, and the sacrifices must be made according to the rites. " (6) in Feng Guifen's Fu Zong Fa Yi of the Qing Dynasty, "if there is no father or brother, or if there is no talent between father and brother, the people will lose their support. Only if we set up a patriarchal son to educate them, can we teach them what they can't teach? If patriarchal son can teach them, father and brother will be lenient, while patriarchal son can be strict. " (7) Volume I of Guangyang Zaji written by Liu Xianting in the Qing Dynasty: "when yuan Jiuxu was caressing Yunnan, Ding Wai returned in difficulty, and the sedan chair was surrounded by white felt. Or: "once upon a time, when a certain Duke was in a difficult situation, he was in a small niche on the top of a sedan chair. He offered a piece of paper and carried it." Jiuxu will use it. One friend said, "the Lord is not the son of the patriarch, and God is the most reliable one. If the Lord returns to one master, there will be two gods. The only way to do this is to have a long house and run around. " 9. Thank you for your worship. " (8) Zhang Binglin's "book of songs, preface to castes" said: "so since the Zhou Dynasty, the patriarchal system has fallen, and there are clan heads in the haozong clan. They all believe that the elders have virtue, not the zongzi."

2. Royal clan

① "There are those who practice the left Taoism in the middle of Fujian, which is called Mingjiao." To some scholars and their descendants, they said to themselves, "today I'm going to the Ming Temple." (2) the history of the Song Dynasty, the biography of the king of the Wei Dynasty: "at the beginning of emperor Youchu, Zhao Shushao entered the Institute of literature, called for the examination of the bachelor's college, and granted Jinshi and Renzong said, "there are many scholars who are good at studying Confucius. They are only scholars who have been promoted by articles, but they have never been mentioned before." (3) Lu Shen's biography of doubts in the Ming Dynasty: "in the Song Dynasty, zongzi established a special school to educate him, and then he chose talents. He came from an official family and was slightly different from the common people. King Jia took the number one scholar, and Ruyu was the prime minister "Zongzi" and "Zongshi" are common, that is, the children of the royal family. For example, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Pu shougeng, a "Fanke Huihui" in Quanzhou, rebelled against the Song Dynasty and descended to the Yuan Dynasty, killing the imperial clan of the Song Dynasty. Zhao you, the twelfth grandson of song Taizu, said in the atlas of Yuyuan, which was completed at the end of the Yuan Dynasty: "more than 3000 people of nanwai clan were killed by it"; Zheng Sixiao, a adherent of the great Song Dynasty, said in the history of heart that "tens of thousands of people of nanwai clan were killed" (the number is wrong); Jibing, a chronicle of Quanzhou Prefecture, said that "thousands of people of nanwai clan were killed, and the literati and huaibing were killed in the spring; sangyuan, Japan "Pu shougeng Kao" quoted the Ming yangsiqian's "Quanzhou Prefecture records" as saying: "kill more than a thousand people in the clan, only men who can hold weapons"; Ming yangsiqian's "Quanzhou Prefecture records" said: there are more than 3300 people in the nanwai clan of shaodingjian (1228-1233), 2500 Huai soldiers, and unknown literati.
