In previous articles, "Shiqu" has mentioned that in several villages in Wobei Town, Luyi, Henan, most of the villagers have the surname Wanyan . Wanyan was originally the surname of the nobles of the Jin Dynasty. These people are undoubtedly the survivors of the Jurchen tribe of and are descendants of Wanyan Zongbi . Of course, this is not the most important thing. In history, villagers with the Wanyan surname can intermarry with the Han surname, but they are not intermarry with the Yue surname.
Everyone knows that in ancient times, people often believed in "the same surname but not marriage". Why did the villagers with the Wanyan surname be resentful of the Yue surname?
In fact, the reason is very simple. These are all old hatreds and feuds from more than a thousand years ago. During the confrontation between Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was the biggest obstacle for the Jin army to move south. Later, under the north and south attacks of Mongolia and Southern Song , the Jin Dynasty was destroyed. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty , the Wanyan tribe also hid his identity under the order of the Yuan Dynasty's killing without mercy and lived in the Central Plains and Jianghuai places. With such a great hatred, it is reasonable for the Wanyan clan members to abide by the rules of their ancestors and not marrying someone surnamed Yue.
Wanyan tribe members do not intermarry with the Yue surname, but are just a microcosm of the fact that the different surnames do not intermarry in the long history. It was also a feud more than a thousand years ago, Yue Fei's descendants set rules: the Yue family and the Qin family will not intermarry for the next generation. As we all know, Yue Fei was a famous anti-Jin general from the late Northern Song Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty. Later, he was framed by treacherous ministers such as Qin Hui and for "false" crimes and was killed by Zhao Gou. After Yue Fei's death, there were few records of intermarriage between the surname Yue and Qin, and even the people of the surname Yue were secretive about the word "Hui".
Father-in-law is a national hero and a representative of loyalty and righteousness. The Yang family general , which is also known for its loyalty and righteousness, also has a similar situation. As we all know, General Yang is a famous military family in the Northern Song Dynasty and has made great contributions to Song Dynasty . Later, the Yang family was framed by Pan Renmei, and Yang Lao Linggong was forced to commit suicide and died. Since then, the Yang family has been destroyed, and the Yang family and the Pan family have become "familiar enemies". Of course, these are all plots of novel legends. There is no character like Pan Renmei in real history, and the one who killed Yang Ye (the prototype of Yang Linggong ) should be Wanglai . Despite history, the story of the Yang family is widely circulated, and people have also solidified the Yang family's perception that Pan Renmei is framed. Later, the Yang surname in Shanxi simply took "Pan Yang's no intermarriage" as a family motto and wrote it into the family genealogy to follow it for generations.
The surnames of Wu and Pan are also influenced by Romance novels. In the story of " Water Margin ", Pan Jinlian Red Apricot kills Wu Dalang , and then Wu Song plays the plot of killing his sister-in-law. Although the characters of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian are far from historical facts, the Wu and Pan families are as powerful as fire and do not interact with each other. If you want to get married, you will never even think about it.
It has to be said that whether it is the Yang family and the Pan family, or the Wu family and the Pan family, they have been hurt by Romance novels. In fact, not only the above surnames, but also in ancient times, influenced by political, war and artistic fiction, Ji and Ying, Zheng and Shi, Liang and Zhu were not very intermarried.
It is worth mentioning that these taboos of intermarriage in different surnames have become ancestral teachings because of history and have become the past because of history. These taboos of intermarriage in modern times have basically been abolished, after all, marriage is an extremely free matter.
