Big Hongyu: Traveling Through the Dusty Sun Family Compound

Xuanyuan daughter, a descendant of the Xuanyuan family who moved from the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor to Xueshui, married Sun Jingqiu, a family of farmers and students in the north of Lincheng City, as her concubine. With her exclusive use of the Confucian-style front west courtyard, she witnessed and created the history of the founding of Xicang Village and the history of the rise and fall of large households. Tuundao became friends with several generations of ladies. Her son Jie Zhong became the head of the family at the age of twelve and experienced the glory of the Sun family and the decline of Danfengtang. Their thirty-seven years as a coffin guard in the same courtyard is also a legend of the couple. Several generations of the Sun family came to serve as officials in the Confucius Mansion, and became in-laws with the big families in Confucius and Tengyi counties. There were talented people in succession, but there were also people who fell into disgrace. As the farmland was divided and grain harvesting in troubled times, the same clan gradually became separated and fell apart. "Honglu" originates from "Zhou Li", which governs court meetings, guests, good and bad etiquette. In the first year of Emperor Taichu of Han Dynasty, the name was changed to "Dahonglu". This book conveys the meaning of "Hong Sheng" by referring to the distinguished guests of the countryside and the wealthy gentry given by the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, they are also the seabass wearing armor on the shores of the government and the countryside. This book is based on the history of the ancient Xue River Basin, which lasted more than 80 years after Qianlong's southern tour. There were many characters in "Dream of Red Mansions" like Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu in wealthy families. It is attributed to a saying by the descendants of the Sun family: People without wealth want to build a shelf until they die, while people with wealth are willing to hang on the shelf.
