As a Fujian person, many people should have heard of the saying that "Chen Lin is half the world, and Huang Zheng is full of streets". It means that Chen, Lin, Huang and Zheng are the four major surnames of Mindi. Today, Xiaobian will talk to you about the brilliant Lin clan of Minlin (Fujian Lin). I believe that many people are familiar with the two brands of "Jiumu" and "Jiumu Wang", and the word Jiumu is closely related to the Lin clan in Fujian. (Both companies are Fujian companies, and the owners are surnamed Lin.) ）
First, let's talk about the founding ancestor of the Fujian Lin clan. Lin Lu (274-357 AD), courtesy name Shiyin, was a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At the time of the Wuhu Chaos, Lin Lu was entrusted with the command of Guarding Jin'an County, moved to Jin'an, and was the ancestor of The Lin surname Kaimin. His Kuangfu Jin Room, after many wars, had outstanding military achievements, successively serving as a general of Zhaoyuan, a regular attendant of scattered horses, and a waiter of the Yellow Gate. Because he successively assisted the five emperors of Jin yuan, jinming, jincheng, jin kang, and jinmu, and was a loyal "five-dynasty elder", he was posthumously honored as the king of Jin'an County, and was buried in Jiulonggang in Wenling (now Jiulonggang, Qingmei Village, Tuling Town, Quangang District, Quanzhou). Lin Lu Tomb, the tomb of Wang Lin Lu of Jin'an County, is also the tomb of the ancestor of Minlin, located under the Kowloon Gang of Tuling in Quangang District. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and rebuilt in its original style. In front of the tomb, there is a square gate, the middle plaque is engraved "Ancestor of Minlin", the left pillar is engraved "Eastern Jin Dynasty Famous Domain", the right pillar is engraved "Kai Min Shi Guan", and the left and right columns are Divided into Hua Table II, Flagpole Pillar IV, Shi Yang II, and Shi General II. On the right side of the cemetery, there is a huge stone on the road leading to Shuiqu Village, engraved with the inscription "Changshan Shijin" by Song Zhuxi.

The descendants of Song Jiumu in Xiazhou, Quanzhou, have multiplied and migrated at home and abroad, and since the Song Dynasty, they have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes. At present, the data show that the outer regions of Paiyan mainly include Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and other places. In the area of Meishan Linban, a famous overseas Chinese township in Nan'an, Quanzhou, including Wharf Neike and other places, there are still a large number of descendants of Song Jiumu living together, and the Linban family genealogy records that there are ming Jiajing years to move to Guangdong Chaoshan Huilai and other places, and also specially indicate the historical facts of crossing the sea and moving to Taiwan. Take the Qiantai Zhuyuan sect, for example, which has developed into a large family in Taiwan, and sent people to Linsaka as early as the 1980s to search for roots and ancestors. In addition, there are also places in Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines and other places, and the Philippines has the largest number of people.
