Mrs. Xian's life

In the history of Northern Dynasties, Mrs. Xian was a representative of Hainan Island National Heroes. She was not only a heroine of Li nationality, but also made great contributions to national unity and national unity. She reunited Hainan Island, which had been separated from the mainland for more than 600 years, into a unified country. According to the research of Professor Tan Qixiang, a famous historian in China, it was in the first year of Emperor Wu's reign that Hainan Island set up counties (zhuya and daner) in Guizao. Later, due to the tyrannical rule of officials, the local people resisted strongly. In the third year of emperor yuan's reign, they abandoned zhuya, making Hainan Island "an extraterritorial place".

Mrs. Xian Ying is an outstanding figure in the history of Lingnan. She was born in Gaoliang County of Guangdong Province (today's Dianbai area) during the northern and Southern Dynasties. Her family "was the leader of Nanyue, and there were ten thousand tribes" (Biography of Mrs. Qiao Xi in Beishi). She became a tribal chief when she was 15 years old.

At that time, Feng Rong, the governor of Luozhou (today's Huazhou City in Guangdong Province), was an official of the imperial court. Because he was "detained in a foreign country", he had no command. Feng Rong had to use the method of conjugal marriage to win over the upper class of Yue people. He personally climbed the mountain to ask Xian to marry him. Xian yingsui, the young chief of Xian family, married his son Feng Baocheng. From then on, Li people began to be restrained. Feng Bao served as Gaoliang's prefect, and Mrs. Xian's envoy assisted him in dealing with government affairs. "Government orders are in order, and no one dares to violate them." the people live and work in peace and contentment, "the ruins of Jiaoli, recite the daily news.".

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent 30000 troops to try to restore power in Hainan Island, but failed. It was not until the sixth year of Daye that the counties (zhuya, daner and Linzhen) were re established, 656 years apart. At that time, Mrs. Xian was the greatest contributor to the reunification. Before the Western Jin Dynasty, the Li nationality was still in the stage of clan society, and developed into a large-scale tribal alliance at the time of Qi and Liang dynasties. Xian Ting is the largest tribal chief in the Ming Dynasty. She was appointed as the first sergeant of Nantan Prefecture by the Liang Dynasty. Mrs. Xian is Xian Ting's sister and her husband is Feng Bao, Gaoliang's prefect. The original appearance of the Feng family is the Miao nationality of Beiyan. Due to the death of the country, they moved to Xinhui in the south. This clan has been hunting for generations and has not been disciplined. Mrs. Xian helped Feng Bao in his administration. No matter how new he was, he would be severely punished if he broke the law. From then on, the government order was orderly.

During Hou Jing's rebellion, Mrs. Xian personally led the troops to pacify them from time to time. After Feng Bao's death, she led the rebellion many times and was famous for her faithfulness. After the death of Chen Dynasty, all counties in Lingnan supported Mrs. Xian, known as "Virgin Mary". The Li and Miao Nationalities in Hainan Island were under the jurisdiction of Xian. Chen Gaozu once canonized him as the wife of the state of Qiao, granted seal at the beginning of the government, and dispatched soldiers and horses from six states. Her descendants were the local leaders. He is also the official of the imperial court. Her grandson Feng ang, in particular, made great contributions to the expedition of Liao with emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and became a general of the three grades. Mrs. Xian was 90 years old. After her death, she was given the posthumous title of "Mrs. Cheng Jing". In the Tang Dynasty, Feng ang was the largest leader in the south of the five ridges. After he came down to the Tang Dynasty, he was rewarded with more than ten thousand slaves and maids, covering two thousand li. He was appointed as a general and a governor of Jingzhou.

Feng Ang's grandchildren began to decline. His great grandson was Gao Lishi, a famous eunuch. Gao Lishi's father, Feng Daoheng, died of poverty, his children were separated, and his youngest son was adopted by Gao Yanfu, an official in charge, so he changed his name to Gao. After Gao Lishi became a dignitary, he took his mother and brother and sister to Chang'an. His mother was named "the wife of Yue" and his father was named "governor of Guangzhou". In the seventh year of Tang Tianbao, monk Jianzhen traveled to Japan for the fifth time. He was blown to Sanya by strong wind near Zhoushan. Feng chongqian, a descendant of Mrs. Xian, sent more than 400 soldiers to welcome them home for a year, and then personally led 800 soldiers to Yazhou. Jianzhen wanted to build a temple in Yazhou. Feng chongqian immediately ordered the serfs to send me a log every three days, and soon built a temple, a lecture hall, a brick tower and a six foot statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. It can be seen how powerful and financial he was. Since Kaiyuan, the Feng family in the south of the five ridges and the north of the sea has declined. Since then, there has been no record in history. It is not known whether the surnames of Xian and Feng in Hainan Province have descendants of Mrs. Xian.

According to Zhang Yangong's collection of inscriptions to Feng Gong, the great governor of Guangzhou, after Feng gongqunheng's death, "it's difficult for his son and his young family, and the funeral ceremony is built.". Feng qunheng's only son was no other than Gao Lishi, a famous Eunuch in the period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. In the process of Wu Zetian's suppression of the Feng family, Feng qunheng was killed, and Gao Lishi was taken as a prisoner. After being castrated, he was sent to the imperial palace to serve as a eunuch, and even his surname was changed. His elder sister Feng Huan was also taken captive to the capital and became a palace maid. Later, she became a nun.
