A heavy "historical" book
735 pages, more than 800,000 words. When the reporter saw this book "Famous Family Scene - Record of the Origin and Flow of Li Family in Zhaojun", its heavy and detailed content was shocking. This book, which also exudes the aroma of ink, was just published by Hebei People's Publishing House at the end of April this year.
" The first ancestor of humanities The emperor Xuanyuan, the first ancestor of the Li surname Gao Yao Lizhen", "Li Zhen, listen to slander Li Mu was wronged and destroyed the Great Wall, Zhao State was destroyed", "The Li family in Zhao County has a long history, and the idioms and allusions have been passed down for generations"... From the first chapter of the book, looking back page by page, it seemed that there were historical scenes after scene in front of the reporter, which was amazing and sad, and more of a deeper understanding of the Li surname. This made our reporter, who is also surnamed Li, love this book and admire the author.
The author Jia Guosuo is an ordinary retired cadre in Zhao County, not an expert and scholar. The book written by Jia Guosuo has a total of 48 chapters, which detailed the origin, prosperity, migration and decline of the Li family in Zhao County.

A 70-year-old man wants to write the history of his hometown surname into a book
Recently, the reporter came to Zhao County and met the 77-year-old Jia Guosuo. At this time, he was looking at a yellowed "Twenty-Four Histories". This thick book was bought by Jia Guosuo in the 1980s. On weekdays, Jia Guosuo is accompanied by various literary and historical materials.
"The Li family of Zhao County and the Li family of Longxi are two prominent families in China, and the county seat of the Li family of Zhao County is located in today's Zhao County." Jia Guosuo told reporters that his hometown is Xifengsi Village, Gaocun Township, Zhao County, which is the place where the Li family of Zhao County is lived and revived. There are a large number of stories and legends about the Li family of Zhao County circulating on this land, and there are also places such as "The Old Tomb of the Da Li Family", "The Temple of the Da Li Family", and "The Garden of the Da Li Family" and other place names. After working for many years, Jia Guosuo found that he could not even find a book on the market that systematically introduced the Li family culture of Zhaojun.
"How can future generations learn about the history of their hometown without rescuing this precious culture?" With this idea, after the Spring Festival in 2014, Jia Guosuo began to review and collect relevant information from the Li family of Zhao County, and prepared to write a book that comprehensively tells the Li family of Zhao County.
The old man went to 13 libraries across the country in more than a year
Because the writing content spans more than 5,000 years, there are very few descendants of the Li family in Zhao County. Therefore, the elderly Jia Guosuo went to the library to search for family genealogy and historical information about the surname Li.
At that time, Jia Guosuo was already 73 years old, which was the time to live his life. But the most important experience in his life has just begun. Beijing, Shanghai, Hunan, Jiangsu, Hebei... As long as it is a large library, Jia Guosuo will go.
"The most impressive thing is that it is in Shanghai Library ." Jia Guosuo said that the Shanghai Library Genealogy Research Center has more than 100,000 sets of genealogy, which is currently the largest collection in the country. The research materials on Li's family in Zhaojun are also very large. For this reason, Jia Guosuo stayed in the genealogy reading room of the Shanghai Library for 17 days. As soon as the library opened in the morning, Jia Guosuo plunged in. He didn't leave until the library closed in the evening, not even having lunch.
When you collect useful information, you naturally have to remember it. However, the library did not allow photos of the information at that time, nor did you allow you to copy it with a notebook, so you could only spend money to copy it."It costs 50 cents to copy a page, and I have to copy thousands of pages. It's too expensive!" In desperation, Jia Guosuo chose a local method, that is, he recited it during the day and returned to the hotel at night and then copied it into the notebook. Therefore, late at night, Jia Guosuo always "writes at night" in his hotel room, and even often the outside of the house is lit after writing the information.
With this tenacity, Jia Guosuo went to 13 libraries across the country in more than a year, checked and collected tens of thousands of books (information), and excerpted 83 notes, making sufficient preparations for publishing the book.
Because you don’t know how to use a computer, Jia Guosuo can only use handwriting. "You have a bad stomach and dizzy ears and backs. Can your body bear it?" Jia Guosuo smiled slightly about his family's concerns, "I like what I do. Don't worry."
On a quiet night, Jia Guosuo lay alone on his desk, writing about the Li family of Zhaojun word by word with his pen. By 2017, Jia Guosuo had written more than 1 million words of manuscript and basically completed his creation. Subsequently, Jia Guosuo's son Jia Lizhi and nephew Jia Binhua helped proofread and organize the text, and finally reduced the content to 830,000 words. At the end of April this year, "The Story of Famous Family - The Origin of the Li Family of Zhaojun" created by Jia Guosuo was finally officially published.
The Li family of Zhaojun formed six major houses, and many celebrities emerged
Jia Guosuo learned by looking up information that the first ancestor of the Li family was Huangdi Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the judicial family Gao Yao was his blood relationship, and Li Lizhen was his ancestor of the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties was his ancestor of the surname. Lao Tzu Li Er was the first person with the surname Li in the official history, so he was called the "ancestor of the official history" of the surname Li. During the Warring States Period, Li Er's fourth-generation grandson Li Dui was the prime minister of Zhao and lived in Zhao. Based on this, the master of calligraphy and painting during the Song and Yuan dynasties and the eleventh-generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, took Li Dui as the ancestor of the Li family of Zhao County. " Northern History " and "New Book of Tang" both started with the brothers Li Chong and Li Ji, the fifth-generation grandson of Li Dui, who were divided into two houses, Longxi and Zhaojun. Li Chong was appointed as the governor of Longxi County. Later generations settled in Longxi, and Li Chong was the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi; Li Ji and his son Li Mu settled in Zhaojun, and were respected as the ancestor of the Li family in Zhaojun. Therefore, the Li family of Zhaojun and the Li family of Longxi became two prominent families of the Li family in China.
Since Li Mu settled in Zhao County, as the family grew, his clan members continued to move out and set up new doors. The Li family in Zhao County gradually formed six major houses, including the South, East, West, Liaodong, Hanzhong and Jiangxia. The descendants of the country have been self-improvement and compete to develop, which has led to the prosperity of the Li family in Zhaojun and the emergence of talents.

He is the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Li Yong is good at running script and is known as the "Six Hundreds of Hanlin", and is famous all over the world.

Both father and son were in the high positions of "Three Dukes". Li Baiyao compiled " Northern Qi Book ", and Li Anqi was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty.
Historical contributions are remembered by future generations
Jia Guosuo said that the Li family of Zhaojun has not only played an important role in history, but their contributions are also remembered by future generations.
The Zhaozhou Bridge built by Li Chun, a craftsman in the Sui Dynasty, is the earliest existing single-hole open-shoulder stone arch bridge in the world, and is known as the "No. 1 bridge in the world"; the Li Yangbing in the Tang Dynasty was not only a great calligrapher known as "the first person after Li Si ", but more importantly, he preserved, compiled, compiled, and compiled the manuscripts of Li Bai and published them to the world, which made Li Bai's poems pass on; the 8th year of Yuanhe (813) written by Li Jifu of the Tang Dynasty was the earliest existing general geography in my country. In the more than a thousand years since it was written, national or local local genres have basically inherited its compilation methods and formats.
is awe-inspiring world, a victory in every battle, a false public service, and a complaint... In Jia Guosuo's book, 824 idioms and allusions related to the Li family of Zhaojun are included, many of which are familiar and can be said to be a valuable cultural wealth passed down by ancient people.
Wei Lianke, a researcher at the Institute of History of the Hebei Academy of Social Sciences, said that the book compiled by Jia Guosuo takes the Li family culture of Zhaojun as the main line, and combines the essence of traditional culture to deeply explore and organize the positive energy spirit of the Li family, such as loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, enterprising spirit, honesty and honesty, and helping the poor, which is very consistent with the current spirit of inheritance of family traditions and family precepts. At the same time, this book provides a rare reference for studying Chinese surname culture. In response to this, Jia Guosuo only said one sentence: "This is a little bit of my efforts to popularize surname culture and promote Chinese traditional culture."
