The ancestral hall of the Lin clan in the pagoda village was built at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. It had a history of nearly 700 years and was the bond that condensed the blood relationship and feelings of the Lin clan.
The ancestral hall of the pagoda village was the main temple of the Lin family. There were also many branches built in other cities in the country.
From the end of the Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, in the past seven hundred years, many members of the Lin family had left the pagoda village for various reasons and lived in various parts of the country. There were even many who had lived overseas.
Because of the clan culture of the Pagoda Stronghold people, the Lin clan members who had done well in other places would organize the local Lin clan members to build ancestral halls. Therefore, in the past seven hundred years, many branches of the Lin clan's ancestral hall were built all over the country, especially in the south.
Of course, there were also branches of the Lin family's ancestral hall outside the country.
How can you prove that you are a member of the Lin Clan whose roots originate from the pagoda village?
It was actually very simple.
Because there was a family tree, it was not difficult to recognize one's ancestors.
The Lin Clan's genealogy was also known as a genealogy. It was a book that recorded the lineage and the deeds of important people in the Lin Clan.
The Lin Clan's genealogy was a special kind of document. In terms of content, it was a document with the characteristics of commoners in the history of Chinese civilization. It recorded the history of the same clan, common ancestor, bloodline group, lineage figures, and deeds.
As the saying goes, the husband's family has a genealogy, the state has ambition, and the country has a history. This is the same meaning.
In the heyday, the ambition was cultivated, and the family was prosperous and continued.
The Lin family genealogy was a minor repair every ten years and a major repair every thirty years.
In this way, firstly, it was to consolidate family ties, and secondly, it was to let the descendants of the Lin family who had wandered all over the world have a root to find. When they wanted to acknowledge their ancestors, they would have a branch genealogy as evidence.
The clan emblem of the pagoda village was a totem with the hieroglyph surname Lin. It was a special symbol of the Lin family.
After Lin Yaodong revitalized the pagoda village, the Lin family members from all over the country would return to the pagoda village one after another to acknowledge their ancestors.
Even after the Pagoda Group became a super financial group that was as rich as a country, the descendants of the Lin family all over the world would be proud of the Pagoda Group and try their best to return to their country to acknowledge their ancestors.
All the important decisions of the clan in the pagoda village had to be carried out in the Lin clan's ancestral hall.
Today was the grand opening of the Lao Gan Ma Chili Sauce Factory. Lin Yaodong, the head of the family, brought the younger generation to the Lin family's ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and pray for their blessings.
In the Lin family's ancestral hall.
The eldest branch, Lin Yaodong, stood in the middle. The second branch, Lin Yaohua, and the third branch, Lin Zonghui, stood on both sides of the eldest brother, Lin Yaodong.
The rest of the descendants of the Lin family all stood behind the three house heads respectfully.
The head of the house was the clan representative of the villagers of the pagoda village, and also the incense bearer during the sacrifice.
Lin Yaodong was the leader of the three housekeepers. All of them held incense sticks in their hands and prepared to worship the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall.
The descendants of the Lin family had to kneel down and worship the Lin family ancestors.
Lin Yaodong held the incense and looked at the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall. He said respectfully,"Ancestors bless us, Tazhai Chili Sauce Factory is opening!”
"The descendants of my Lin family will gather together and work together to fight against the heavens.”
"I hope that the Lin family members can use the opportunity of the completion of the new factory to carry forward the legacy of our ancestors and work harder for the prosperity of the Lin family!”
"Today, the purpose of worshipping the ancestors is to praise the merits of the ancestors, to thank the grace of the ancestors, to show the talents of the future generations, to establish the prestige of our Lin family, and to add to the glory of the family!”
" Spring and Autumn change, time reincarnates."
"The fact that my Lin Clan can have such a grand and magnificent presence today is a great feat for the wise people of my Lin Clan to thank our ancestors for passing down the incense and prosperity of the clan.”
"The merits of my Lin Clan Ancestral Hall will definitely protect future generations and leave a legacy for hundreds of generations!”
"Ancestors, bless us. Our Lin Clan's descendants will prosper and be blessed with great fortune!”
Lin Yaodong, the head of the family, bowed three times with incense in his hand.
Lin Yaohua and Lin Zonghui bowed at the same time as Lin Yaodong, but they did not have the right to speak.
Because only the head of the household had the right to speak when worshipping the ancestors.
The younger generation of the Lin Clan all knelt down and kowtowed to show their respect to their ancestors.
It had to be said that the inheritance of the pagoda village's clan culture was rare in the entire Xia country. All the villagers with the surname Lin had the traditional clan culture engraved in their bones and acted according to the clan rules.
Many times, the rules of the clan were more effective than the law.
Even the clan rules of the pagoda stockade were above the law at that time. Most of the villagers who made mistakes were punished in the ancestral hall.
After the ancestral worship, everyone went to the Lao Gan Ma Chili Sauce Factory.
Lin Yaodong motioned for Lin Shengwu to light the firecrackers. It was very lively. After the firecrackers burned out, the Lao Gan Ma Chili Sauce Factory officially opened.
Lin Shengwu was a descendant of the Third household and also Lin Zonghui's nephew.
The other nephew of the third branch's Lin Zonghui was called Lin Shengwen.
Lin Zonghui clapped his hands and said loudly,"Everyone, clap your hands and invite our First Branch to say a few words.”
Applause rang out.
Under the expectant eyes of the villagers, Lin Yaodong pushed his glasses and said without anger,"When the braised egg factory opened, I said that every family has its own rules and the factory has its own rules.”
"Today, our Tazhai Chili Sauce Factory is opening.”
"Remember, I, Lin Yaodong, can shelter you from the wind and rain, but I can also make sure you don't see the sun!”
"If anyone does something that is unfair to the factory and the Lin family, don't blame me for being rude.”
"Since you've joined the Lao Gan Ma Chili Sauce Factory, you have to abide by your posts and do your part to ensure safe production.”
"As long as I, Lin Yaodong, am still the head of the Lin family, the factory will not mistreat you!”
After Lin Yaodong finished speaking, the applause was thunderous.
This was the good thing about the clan village. With Fang Tou as the leader, they were absolutely loyal and united.
"Everyone, return to your posts and officially start work!" Lin Yaohua said loudly.”
Amidst the cheers of the villagers in the pagoda village, the Lao Gan Ma Chili Sauce Factory began to officially operate.
The employees of the braised egg factory diagonally opposite stood at the gate to watch the commotion. They were all happy that a new factory had opened in the pagoda village.
Widow Wang was wearing the uniform of a female worker in the braised egg factory and looked at Lin Yaodong from afar.
Lin Yaodong saw Wang Meina in the crowd.
For some reason, Lin Yaodong still missed Widow Wang a little after not seeing her for a few days.
The braised egg factory and the chili sauce factory were diagonally opposite each other, separated by a large road.
Although Lin Yaodong and Wang Meina only met from afar and looked at each other wordlessly, it seemed like they had talked a lot with Wang Meina.
This kind of ambiguous feeling was very subtle.
This book is the only one written by Feilu about the clan. Please look forward to it, brothers. Uncle Dong will be awesome in the end.
