【】Chapter 4 【Part 1】
In 1863, the 2nd year of Tongzhi of Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty:
[A farmer surnamed Dian in a coastal area of mainland China. The Dian family led a group of warriors to fight hard to kill pirates and rescue the rich Gu family of the same hometown]
In 1864, the 3rd year of Tongzhi of Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty:
[The Gu family took the initiative to thank him for saving his life and helped the Dian family build a decent house. It has a tile house with a large area and the main doors and windows face south. Whenever the Gu family wants to do, many people run for it. It has a kind attitude of 200 points, and only gives the best quality]
It’s easy to think about it by burning bricks on the wall:
[Burning bricks and burning tiles requires silver, and then using sand and soil to mix lime to build the wall. If the family is too poor, they can only fill the wood mold and put it in the sun. If it is not burned by a brick kiln, it is really called a mud house, and I hope it will not collapse]
Cut area against the east wall:
[1 wall separates the bedroom. It has a separate door. Only female family members here, and there is a loft]
Cut the area around the western wall, and divide the bedroom into one wall:
[Replace curtains, hang old quilts in winter to keep warm. Men in the Dian family must sleep here without special circumstances, and also have attics. This custom is rare and cannot be verified from the origin]
Remaining space, kitchen connected to hall:
[No more partition walls. The big stove for burning firewood and a huge iron pot can still be seen in the 21st century. The so-called hall, family chats together, eats places, cleans up crops, do some bamboo weaving, and slits. Go to bed early at night, and it is wasted lighting the lamp]
The furnishings are very simple, and they are handmade by the elderly:
[Wooden table, bench, bed, and some bamboo lounge chairs, small chairs, cool summer days]
The Dian family is very smart and often makes things by themselves:
[Gu Da shopkeeper Gu is inertial and is ready to find a craftsman in the house. The Dian family is grateful and can do it directly. The raw materials are abundant, and the Dian family takes the initiative to ask for labor and repair the ancestral home for the Gu family to save a lot of money for the craftsman. Gu Da shopkeeper Gu did not expect this and was very happy and moved]
In 1878, the 4th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty:
[Another generation of the Dian family was born, named "Dian Haofan"]
The Dian family usually works in farming, hunting, and fills their stomachs:
[The older generations most hope to have three full meals a day, and it is best to have meat every meal. They can say and can't write, and they can find out the words and words. Listen to their personal requests, write down 3 words and give annotations]
In 1880, the 6th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty:
[The second son was born and named "Dian Ci Jin". The neighboring village gave it to him, meaning: God's grace, and wealth. This name is really auspicious, and the whole family is very happy. The harvest was very good that year, so I held a small banquet for this]
In 1894, the 20th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty:
[Dian Cijin was 14 years old. Follow his tribe and fellow villagers to make a living in Southeast Asia. Dian Haoju stays in his hometown and continues to work farming and support his family]
In 1895, Dian Haofan got married at the age of 17 in mainland China:
【In 1896, the son was born and named 'Dianlaifu'】
In 1919, Dian Laifu was 23 years old and got married:
[1920, 9th year of the Republic of China. My son was born in mainland China]
To be honest, Dian Laifu couple is really worried:
[Thinking about all day long, naming is inseparable from grains, food, farm tools, solar terms, folk songs, and you can say that you can't write them, and you are not satisfied with it. Your wife gives advice and asks you to bring some agricultural products and prey, and asks for knowledgeable ones]
Ask a private school teacher:
[With the eager anticipation of the elders of the family, I wish I could produce a top scholar, ride a high horse, and become a high official. The gentleman thought about it and named it "Dian Congru". In fact, the family's financial situation was difficult. Since he was a child, he went to work in the fields and went hunting from time to time]
I can only say that because of my previous life, the private school teacher likes Confucianism very much:
