It means: with a loyal and kind character, the family can last for a long time, just as poems and books can be circulated among people for so long.

In many local chronicles in Fujian, the story of "rain money to help bury" is recorded. According to legend, during the years (894-897), the second ancestor of Xiongshi in Jianyang supplemented it with the word "Lishan", and he was then the minister of war and an ancient prose writer. "Filial piety, when the chaos, no salary, but there are meritorious service.
"Zhou Xiong gave all the rewards of the imperial court to his subordinates without leaving a penny, which led to" the father's funeral can't be buried, and he cried day and night. It rained for three days and the funeral began. Later generations therefore called it "loyalty, filial piety, rain and wealth". "This matter is recorded in the Ming Dynasty, Jianning House in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Jianyang County in the past dynasties. The same is true of Zhou Xiong's life story in Tan Yang Xiong's Genealogy collected by Fujian Library.
Some people think that such a "beautiful legend" is not credible. There are two main doubts: first, how can a senior official who is a senior minister of the Ministry of War and an ancient scholar be so poor? In fact, the social unrest, the decline of national strength and the depression of people's livelihood did not happen in the late Tang Dynasty.
Second, the earth is moving, and rainfall is money. Is it credible? This is actually a beautiful misunderstanding that has been circulating for thousands of years. In fact, it may be that the villagers were moved by his filial piety and threw money into his yard on a rainy night; Tell him again that it rained last night and everyone paid for the floor. However, there is no other family available except the bear's family. In the eyes of people who don't know the details, it really feels like a special favor from heaven!
Nevertheless, as a descendant of a bear, I still firmly believe in this legend. In addition to many records in the genealogy, there are still plaques such as "Yuqian Family" and "Yuqiantang" in the ancestral hall of Xiong's descendants.
In He Xiong's works, such as reprinting the Collected Works of Mr. Xiong Wuxuan, it is also recorded that Zhou Xiong wrote ten volumes of Rain Money Collection; After his death, the court gave posthumous title "loyalty and filial piety".
In Jianyang Bookstore in the Ming Dynasty, there were successively book-engraving workshops named after "Yu Jia", "Yu Gan Tang" and "Yu Gan Guan", which published and engraved many ancient books. Today, in the China National Pavilion, there is still an ancient book "Yi Pu from Gu Xiu to Hui" published by Qian Zai in Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that loyalty and filial piety has become a belief passed down from generation to generation. Among these descendants, the main representatives are Xiong Ke, a historian in the Song Dynasty, Xiong Gangda, a scholar after Zhumen, a meta-agent, an educator and a novelist in the Ming Dynasty.
Xiong Ke (1 132—1204), a native of Jianyang, was a scholar in the 21st year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (11). He has served as a master book, a professor of Zhenjiang government studies, a magistrate of Zhuji County, and a direct bachelor's college.
Xiong Ke's major achievements are in historiography. His works include Zhongxing Xiaoli, A Brief Introduction to Nine Dynasties, and Essentials of Various Scholars. The chronicle of Zhongxing Calendar began in May of the first year of Jianyan (1 127) and ended in December of the twentieth year of Shaoxing (1 150).
The author expressed his patriotic thought of looking forward to the "revival" of the Southern Song Dynasty through the Song-Jin Peace War and the internal affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty during this period. In order to carry forward the Confucian filial piety, Xiong Ke carried forward the block printing technique in Jianyang, his hometown, and printed Zheng Kangcheng's Notes on Filial Piety in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), which was originally obtained from Shu Yuan, a historian of Jian 'an.
Chen's Zhi Zhai Jie describes: "There are few books in the world. In the avenue, Xiong Kezi got it from Yuan Zhongshu and carved it in Gong Xue, Jingkou. "
Xiong Jie, the word "Duancao", is from Jianyang. He just turned ten and likes reading Yi. In the fifth year of Qingyuan (1 199), he entered the court. At that time, it was the so-called "prohibition of pseudo-learning." Xiong Jie can still maintain his status as a master, and it is not good to cater to it. In the above words, he begged the monarch's trainable kindness and virtue. After the official calendar, Tong Zhilang learned about Minqing County, Fuzhou.
Xiong Jie's works are rich, including Xiong Gangda's 23 volumes of Explanations of Sexual Principles. It is a book that absorbs the legacy of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty and is compiled in different styles, such as exegesis, exegesis, exegesis, discipline, inscription, poetry, fu, preface, memorizing, speaking, recording and distinguishing. First, the portraits of Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, Shao Yong, Sima Guang and Zhu Qixian, as well as the missionary tribes, are listed, and at the end, the parallel reality of the seven sages is attached.
The books named after Sexuality in Ming and Qing Dynasties actually originated from this book, so the significance of this book in the spread history of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties was praised as "the reed of musicians and the wheel of making cars" by the officials of Qingsi Ku Library.
Xiong Gangda, a scholar in Jianyang (date of birth and death unknown), was a scholar in Jiading seven years (12 14), studied under Zhu's disciple Cai Yuan, and was once a professor of county studies in Jian 'an (now Jian 'ou). In the 14th year of Southern Song Dynasty (1 187), Zhu Zaiwuyi Jingshe compiled Primary School, which is the earliest existing primary school textbook in China.
Since its publication, this book has been widely spread and popularized in various places, and has played an important role in explaining ethics, promoting filial piety and promoting social education. In order to carry forward the traditional filial piety, Xiong Gang wrote a collection of primary school essays. As far as time series is concerned, this book is the first to interpret Zhu Xiaoxue's works.
Since then, the Interpretation of Primary School Sentences written by He Xiong, a native of Jianyang in the early Yuan Dynasty, appeared. The preface to Wu recorded in the Catalogue of the Four Books is self-balanced, and it is said that it was handed down from generation to generation with the title of the Four Books, the lecture notes of the Book of Changes, the selected poems of the True Classics and the sentence reading of primary schools.
(1247 ——1312), the word Guifei, the name is mysterious. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, he changed his name to retire and fast. He was the main representative of Zhuzi studies in Fujian in Yuan Dynasty, and spared no effort to expound and spread Zhuzi studies. Jianyang has the reputation of "the land of seven sages" in history, and He Xiong ranks among the seven sages.
In the first year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1276), He Xiong was 30 years old, only two years away from Jinshi. This year, He Xiong changed his name to "Retirement" to show that he intended to retire from the mountains and vowed not to be an official.
In the first year (1279- 1294), Yuan authorities repeatedly heard the name and ordered him to work in the state government. He Xiong refused to join the army because of his ill health. After living in the Yuan Dynasty for 35 years, He Xiong always praised the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, calling himself "the righteous man of the Song Dynasty, the stubborn people of the Yuan Dynasty", which reflected the lofty national integrity.
In the 22nd year of Zhiyuan (1285), Xie Fangde (1226- 1289) went into exile from Jiangxi to Fujian, took refuge in Jianyang, and heard about He Xiong for a long time, and made a special trip to visit Wuyi Hongyuan Bookstore in He Xiong. The two met each other after a brief encounter, "* * * v. the death of Song Dynasty". They live in harmony with morality and discuss Zhu's theory of human nature.
They have been together for several months and can't bear to say goodbye. Xie Fangde, 60, and He Xiong, 38, became close friends.
In the ninth year of Yuan Dade (1305), He Xiong returned to his hometown Jianyang from Wuyishan, rebuilt the Aofeng Academy left by his ancestors in the Tang Dynasty, and gave lectures here. In order to show respect for Zhu, the orientation of the gate was changed to face Yungu.
"Advocate sven, Gu Zhanzi, harmony and new. In addition, the hall of the sages' residence was added in front, and the original Taoist temple was added behind. On the left is the Temple of Teachers and Friends of Wengong, and on the right is the Temple of Xiong Zhongxiao. Facing Yungu, the situation was spread by the text, because it was renamed Yungu Academy. "
Xiong (about 1506- 1579), whose real names are Fuzhen, Linggu, Aofeng and Aofeng Houren. , is his words. Jianyang Chonghua Bookstore is the great-grandson of Xiong (1436- 1449), a famous calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, and the descendant of Yuan Shang.
Xiong inherited the book carving business of his ancestors, and also carved many books in the name of Xiong Zhongzhengtang. At the same time, he himself has written many popular novels, and he is the writer who compiled historical romance and heroic legendary novels earlier in China's novel history after The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin.
Biography of Northern Song Dynasty is Xiong's masterpiece, which was published at the same time as another historical novel Biography of Southern Song Dynasty, commonly known as Biography of Southern Song Dynasty, with a total of ten volumes and fifty chapters. Biography of the Northern Song Dynasty was compiled by the author on the basis of extensive collection of Yang Jiajiang stories, scripts of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and related dramas of the Yuan Dynasty.
In addition to this book, Xiong also compiled and published the Popular Romance of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, which was the earliest novel describing Yue Fei's anti-gold deeds.
The deeds of Xiong's "loyalty, filial piety and wealth" and his descendants are reminiscent of the popular couplets at that time: "Loyalty and filial piety spread far and wide, and poetry and books last forever." (Fang Yanshou)
