Yue Fei's descendants banned Qin marriage, South KoreaTen thousand descendants
Hello everyone, I'm Lantai. Today I want to talk to you about the descendants of Yue Fei, a historical figure in director Zhang Yimou's latest masterpiece "Man Jianghong". According to the official history, Yue Fei had five sons and one daughter, of which the eldest son Yue Yun and Yue Fei were killed together, and the second son Yue Lei was sent to Huizhou, Guangdong Province to be detained, and later died there.
However, Yue Fei's other three sons were rehabilitated after Song Xiaozong came to power, and were even granted official positions. Among them, the third son Yue Lin has achieved the preparation of the Fuwen Pavilion from the fourth grade.
And the fourth son, Yue Zhen, is the largest official position among Yue Fei's sons, and once served as the official minister of lifting Changping tea and salt on Jiangnan East Road, which is a very oily position in the Southern Song Dynasty and enjoys a variety of political treatment.
As for the folklore Yue silver bottle, it is not recorded in the official history.
Among Yue Fei's descendants, the fifth son, Yue Ting, was the only military officer who served as a military officer, a position that only the children of military generals trusted by the emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty could hold.
The most outstanding of Yue Fei's grandchildren is Yue Fu, the son of the eldest son Yue Yun, who is Yue Fei's eldest grandson.
Yue Yun's second son, Yue Shen, had been serving his mother Gong at home as Bao Yilang, and Yue Shen's position was granted by the Southern Song Dynasty when Yue Yun was rehabilitated. In addition, the most influential among Yue Fei's grandchildren is Yue Ke, the son of Yue Lin, who compiled the "Jin Tuo Cui Compilation" and "The History of Huan", which are the most authoritative historical materials for the study of Yue Fei at present.
Although Yue Fu, Yue Ke and Yue Shen did not achieve much in their careers, they all left a deep impact in their fields. By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's great-grandchildren were more ordinary.
Wen Tianxiang, the last champion of the Southern Song Dynasty, once praised Yue Fei's merits and loyalty in the article "Huiyue County Lieutenant", believing that Yue Fei's meritorious deeds will be passed down from generation to generation.
Although information about Yue Fei's descendants began to become scarce in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, some people still claimed to be Yue Fei's descendants. Although historians have not been able to determine their identity, this phenomenon suggests that Yue Fei's influence was still far-reaching.
Although some people claim to be the descendants of the Yue clan of the Yixing Tang Sect, in fact they are not the real descendants of Yue Fei. This is because the Yixing Tangmen Yue clan funded the Yue family to repair the tomb of King Yue, and even the great calligrapher Zheng Yuanyou of the Yuan Dynasty wrote it into his "Suichang Shanren Miscellaneous Records".
Ancestral memories that Yue Fei's descendants have adhered to for generations Yue Fei's descendants have always insisted on not intermarrying with the surname Qin, a tradition that has continued for more than 900 years. Although this tradition was broken in the 50s of the 20th century, Yue Fei's descendants still rarely intermarried with the surname Qin.
They are willing to recognize Yue Fei as their ancestor, admit that they are Yue Fei, and be proud of it. For them, this tradition is not just a custom, but an obsessive pursuit of family faith and glory.
Although this may seem a bit old-fashioned and pedantic to modern people, it is exactly their adherence to and inheritance of ancestral memories.
Yue Fei's descendants are spread all over the world, and 50,000 of them in South Korea claim to be Yue Fei's descendants. Their ancestor was Li Zhilan, who was the founder of the Joseon dynasty of the Li family, and was named the subordinate servant of the three armies, sentenced to criminal Cao, and Yixing to the military control envoy.
Li Zhilan was originally a Jurchen named Tong Doulan Timur, and his family was named a hereditary thousand households in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he defected to the Goryeo Dynasty and was given the surname Li and changed his name to Yi Doulan.
He served as a subordinate of Yi Sung-gye, the marshal of the northeast in Korea, and was named the king of Qinghai, so his descendants also called themselves Qinghai Lee. According to the "Qinghai Li Family Genealogy", Li Zhilan is the sixth grandson of Yue Fei's fifth son, Yue Ting.
After Yue Fei was killed, the Yue family was exiled by the whole family, and one of Yue Ting's sons defected to the Jin Kingdom, where he gradually became Jurchenized and became a Jurchenized Han Chinese. Although the credibility of "Qinghai Li Family Genealogy" is not high, Li Zhilan, as a descendant of Yue Fei, has been considered by the majority of Yue Fei's descendants in China to be of the same family, which is enough.
There are many more cases of Yue Fei's descendants, and everyone is welcome to discuss them in the comment area. "
