In the long river of thousands of years of history, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has always been the politics of the Gate Valve Clan, and these famous Door Valves include the Jiangzuo Shi Clan, the Guan Long Shi Clan, and the Shandong Clan. The most famous is the Shandong Shi clan, which is what we hear of as the "five surnames and seven families", also known as the "five surnames and seven wangs", that is, the Li clan of Longxi, the Li clan of Zhao County, the Cui clan of Boling, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Lu clan of Fanyang, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan. Among them, the Li clan and the Cui clan each have two counties, so they are called five surnames and seven wangs. They have a long history and a lifetime of talents, and have controlled China's economy, culture, economy, and politics for many years, that is, in history, there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family.
How influential are they? Let's take a few examples to illustrate, and we'll see.
The five surnames and seven families were all superior in the Shilin and the eyes of the people from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and after experiencing the Five Hu Chaohua, they felt that the blood of other surnames was not pure, so they were ashamed of intermarriage with other surnames, and only intermarried within the five surnames. In order to make his surname more prominent, the Li Tang imperial family traced its ancestor from Li Wei to Li Guang of the Han Dynasty, and then to Li Er, the ancestor of the pre-Qin Taoist family, claiming that Tang Gaozu was the fifty-sixth generation grandson of Li Er, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin was the fifty-seventh generation grandson of Li Er. The monk Farin said: "The Li family of the Tang royal family is not from Laozi or the Li family of Longxi, but is the product of Tuoba Dajian's change of Han surname in that year, and the Li family is a descendant of Xianbei Tuoba Dajian. "How arrogant, how much he feels noble, the emperor can't climb the relationship if he wants to, which shows how high the status of the five surnames and seven families is."
During the Zhenguan years, due to Li Shimin's strength in attacking the family and the locust plague, they dared to directly say that Li Shimin's imperial throne was not right, and the heavens sent down punishments, so that Li Shimin would give himself a commandment. Li Shimin once said: "The Shandong shi clan, every time they marry a woman of other clans, they will ask for wealth, take more as precious, discuss the number and make a contract, the same as the city, even damage customs, and still be proud of themselves, and have no one in sight." If it is too serious to be appropriate, it is necessary to reform. In fact, Li Shimin once wanted to take a woman with five surnames as a concubine but was rejected, and I have to say that it is a bit impossible to eat grapes and say that grapes taste sour.
At that time, if you could marry a woman with five surnames, you could get the approval of the Shilin, and the support of the Shi clan was not yet the imperial examination of the later generations, sealed and transcribed, and had to be given to the investment banking volume of the official, and then recommended to have the right to conduct scientific examinations, and then according to the influence of the examination. Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, said when he died: I regret my life that I failed to marry a woman with five surnames. But in fact, the status of the Xue family is not low, it is also a famous door, but compared to the five surnames and seven families, it is still far inferior. Later, because the Taiyuan Wang clan married their daughter to Li Zhi as a crown princess, the other four surnames did not intermarry with him, which shows the importance of the surname in their eyes.
Writing "Ruyi Princess at the End of Sui" and checking historical materials, I learned that Li Yuan's mother and Yang Guang's mother were sisters, Yang Guang's daughter married Li Shimin, Yang Guang's daughter Princess Ruyi married Yu Wenshi, Yang Guang's sister married Yuwen Shu, Yang Guang's crown prince Yang Zhao married the daughter of Jingzhao Weikuan, Wei Kuan's wife was Xingyang Zheng's, the deposed princess was also the concubine of the Boling Cui family, and Cheng Yaojin married the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered Gao Shilian and others to revise the "Clan Chronicle", and as a result, after the "Clan Chronicle" was completed, cui Mingan of the Shandong Shi clan was still listed as the first class. After Tang Taizong saw it, he was very dissatisfied, saying that the Shandong Shi clan had long been decayed and had gained wealth by marriage. Later, the officials of the monk clan zhi understood that when the Li Tang imperial family was the leader, followed by foreign relatives, the Shandong clan Cui Mingan was demoted to the third class. It can be seen that shilin still regards the five surnames and seven families as precious, and Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin and other important courtiers all intermarry with the five surnames and seven families.
Until the autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The incense of the sky penetrated Chang'an, and the city was full of golden armor. --Huang Chao, until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huang Chao rebellion, killed into Chang'an, Huang Chao vigorously attacked the Shi clan, resulting in a large number of Shi clan people being killed, the family was destroyed, and the Mengmen Shi Clan, which had been brilliant for nearly 600 years, was declared extinct. The status of the gentry was replaced by the landlord gentry class and reduced to commoners. The imperial examination system, without the interference of the Gate Valve Clan, laid the foundation for the Song Dynasty to create a brilliant civilization.
