Carry forward the family culture and build a beautiful home
On the morning of May 22, 2021, in the conference room of "Junantai Company" on the 7th floor of Runxiang Building, Jingqi Road, Shizhong District, Jinan City, the cultural exchange symposium of the Bao family culture and the Teng family was held in a warm atmosphere.
The forum was held under the arrangement of Teng Yongping, chairman of the Shandong Teng Clan Council, and Bao Leisheng, secretary general of the Bao Clan Council. Zou Pingteng's family of four people went to participate by appointment.
Mr. Bao Leisheng is a corporate CEO with strong economic strength in the financial industry. He is erudite and enthusiastic about public welfare. He has paid special attention to and attached great importance to family culture, and has made great contributions to the preservation, inheritance and promotion of Bao's culture. He is the backbone and leader of the study of Bao's culture.
At the meeting, he gave an orderly introduction to his family's culture.
Bao Shuya is the ancestor of the Bao family. When he was in the Qi Kingdom, in the struggle between Gongzi and Gongzi Xiaobai for the throne, Guan Zhong shot Xiaobai with a hook. Later, Xiaobai became the monarch of the country, that is, the Duke of Qi Huan. Uncle Bao had a good relationship with Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong was talented, able to govern the country well, and benefit the people, so he decided to give way to him. risking his life to raise the custody of Duke Qi Huan as the prime minister, he persuaded Duke Qi Huan not to remember past grudges and put the interests of the country first. Guan Zhong attached himself to the Duke of Qi Huan and became the prime minister, and Guan Zhong assisted the Duke of Qi Huan to ascend to the position of the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons with his own talents.
Bao Shuya's spiritual culture of "virtue" and "let" (referred to as Shuya culture, the core culture of Bao family culture) has been well inherited and promoted by Bao Shuya's descendants and the public around the world. In order to further inherit and carry forward the culture of the Bao family, make it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and turn it into action, the "Bao Family History Research Association" was specially established to conduct in-depth research on the family history. The research association also set up the "Bao's Wenyuan Editorial Department", which regularly publishes the magazine "Bao's Wenyuan", so that the family culture has been better publicized and promoted. The Bao family's protection, inheritance and promotion of spiritual culture and material culture are all worth learning and Xi.
In the afternoon, Mr. Bao and several of his relatives led us to a plot of land belonging to the former Jinan Iron and Steel General Plant to visit the tomb of its ancestor Bao Shuya. The cemetery is higher and the gate faces north. Walk up the stairs and walk into the cemetery gate. The cemetery is surrounded by a brick wall more than one person high, the tomb is in the middle of the south, the lower part of the tomb is about one meter high and cylindrical, the upper part is conical, and the tomb (north) is the tombstone and the offering platform. Mr. Bao said that they go to incense, worship, weeding and adding soil every year.
At this time, I had a feeling of admiration for this "virtuous saint" who was buried underground more than 2,000 years ago. It was he who founded the Shuya culture, which is pure and noble and has a positive and far-reaching educational significance for people, and should be well inherited and promoted. Let it shine brightly and illuminate the way for people to move forward.
Mr. Bao also planned a new grand blueprint for the development and inheritance of family culture, and is ready to generously invest heavily to make the blueprint a reality, which is exciting.
The culture of our Teng family is also excellent. At the meeting, President Teng Yongping, Secretary-General Teng Zhaoguo, Director Teng Yuguo, and Teng Xiushen Consultant also spoke one after another, introducing the basic situation and related matters of Teng's family culture.
In 1044 B.C., Ji Shuxiu (later known as Teng Shuxiu, the ancestor of Teng's surname) was enshrined by their brother Zhou Wu Wang Ji Fa to Tengdi (now Tengzhou), established the Teng State, and became the monarch. By the time of the 29th Tenghong Teng Wen Gong, he asked the government and Mencius. Mencius put forward the doctrine of "benevolent government", and he said that only by practicing "benevolent government" can the common people support the world. He advocated the theory of goodness, maintain and carry forward this "good" nature, the society will naturally be stable, our great ancestor Teng Wengong, implemented the doctrine of Mencius, "benevolent government" and "good teaching", the country is strong, the people are happy. Duke Wen was known as the "Virtuous Monarch", and Teng was known as a good country, leaving a reputation that will be praised for all generations.
From 286 A.D., the ancestors of the Teng clan embarked on the road of migration and developed elsewhere. In order to cherish his homeland forever, he took the country as his surname and changed his surname to Teng.
For the good Xing Teng, good culture is the core of our Teng family culture. "Goodness" is the core connotation of Tengguo cultural research. The Teng clan inherits the culture of goodness, carries forward the culture of goodness, has a good heart, has good thoughts, does good deeds, and helps others has become the conscious action of the clansmen.
The spiritual essence of Teng's culture, the ideological essence and cultural essence contained in it, are consistent with the core values of the times put forward by the general secretary. We have also established the "Tengguo Culture Research Association", which will further excavate and sort out the spiritual essence of Teng's culture, so that it will radiate great arrogance.
Genealogy is a family culture and an important part of national culture. The genealogy of Xiujian is the inheritance of history and culture. From the beginning of the ancestor of Shuxiu, for more than 3,000 years, Teng Wanpeng clan of Nanning, Guangxi Province was the first to propose the repair of the national general spectrum, and he did a lot of hard and fruitful work. Overworked and unfortunately passed away. Zhejiang Jinhua Teng Rongkang clan relatives rose to the challenge, took over this heavy burden, he overcame all difficulties, worked hard, worked hard, led the editorial board members, and completed the unprecedented national general spectrum cultivation cause. The contribution of Wan Peng and Rong Kang to the culture of the Teng family is huge, and their names will forever mark the history of the Teng family. It has been praised and remembered by generations of people surnamed Teng.
Family culture is ancestral culture. As long as we have a sense of gratitude and respect for our ancestors, carefully study and Xi what our ancestors did, put them into action, and act and do things according to the teachings of our ancestors, the family culture will be well inherited and carried forward. Our family will prosper and prosper, will have a brilliant future, will make due contributions to the country's cultural construction, and will have a harmonious and beautiful society.
The symposium was very good and fruitful.
Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the warm reception of the Bao clan!
