According to relevant data, Luo's surname ranks 22nd in China today, accounting for about .86% of the Han population in China, and the estimated population is about 1 million. Luo's surname is also spread all over Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries.
? The descendants of Roche have flourished from generation to generation, although they have traveled all over the Great Wall, even though they have migrated to foreign countries all over the world. No matter how the stars change, no matter how time flies, the descendants of Roche scattered all over the world firmly believe that Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) is the birthplace of Roche in the world, and Luo Zhugong is the ancestor of Roche in the world.
? Luo Zhugong, the word Huai Han. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was first "governing the internal history of millet" and then changed to "the order of big farmers", so it was called "the big farmers" in the past, and Luo Zhu and Guan Ying settled Jiujiang County. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, the county of Yuzhang was set up in Nanchang, and castles were built, and Yuzhang trees (camphor trees) were widely planted around the city. Its descendants were called "Yuzhang Roche".
? "Jiangxi Tongzhi" contains: Luo Zhu "followed Guan Ying during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, pacified Yuzhang, and made meritorious deeds for the people".
? According to Luo Longsheng, the 22nd Sun Luoxin Society of Roche, who prefaced the Genealogy of Roche, he said: "The person who made a note of Roche started from the Yellow Emperor with the surname of Xiongshi, Gongsun. Then pass on Zhuan Xu's higher vocational surname, Ji surname, all of which have the virtue of the emperor. Li Hui, a descendant of Zhuan Xu, replaced Zhu Rong. After returning to Jilian, his surname is Mi. Even Hou Xiong, Zuo Zhouyou, took Xiong as his surname, Sun Xiong Yi was sealed in Jingchu, ┅┅ hence the country in Romania, taking the country as his surname. Children and grandchildren are scattered between Jianghan. Han Luohuai, as the king of Liang, ate in Yuzhang. Father used it as Wuling order. Using Zizhu as a big sinong, he was ordered to guard Jiujiang from Changsha, so he was born in Yuzhang. The descendants of Yuzhang are big farmers, and their descendants are especially prosperous! "
? Sima Guang, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising Luo Zhu's noble moral character and outstanding feats: "Starting from a civil history, he worked as a farmer, and Liu Hou pushed the hub, filled with * * * merits, compared with Yu Zhang, and respected him, making him a great man. Xun was in the Han Dynasty, and he was as good as Hou Ji. Now he is fierce, and he will make great achievements in peace, build a prosperous future, live a long life and be healthy, and then he will be prosperous. "
? For thousands of years, the famous saying that "there are no two schools in the world" has been circulated from generation to generation. Since the beginning of Luo Zhu, families have multiplied, branches have developed clearly, and genealogy records are rigorous and orderly, which has been more than 7 generations.
? At the beginning of Roche's origin, each branch named itself, and there was no unified ranking word generation. In the Song Dynasty, Luo Sheng, a descendant of the 4th generation, was appointed as the assistant minister of the official department, and began to unify the word generation of Roche in the world. He wrote a five-character ancient poem with 4 words about his ardent expectations for Roche's descendants. "Sheng should be practical, Cheng Yanbo uncle. To honor the country with virtue, to uphold prosperity and allow happiness. When the Hengyun Games came, the order of the sages was Zhao Mu. Rich today is new, and the industry is always Lu. " Roche's prosperity depends on you, imitating its predecessors and becoming Toshihiko. Glory the family by virtue, and pursue happiness by struggle. Prosperous luck often comes, and the descendants of the sages follow the ancestral clan. The foundation is solid, progress is made every day, and entrepreneurship is developed forever. ）
? Because of Luo Shengde's prominent position and social influence, this five-character ancient poem became the unified generation of Roche. Since then, the descendants of the Roche family scattered around the country have basically been named according to the unified word generation and recorded in the Roche Genealogy. Up to now, the descendants of Roche all over the country are mainly: luck, society, time, future, sage, heir, order and so on.
? In the Ming Dynasty, Luo Wenpu, a Confucian preceptor, imitated Luo Shengde, and also wrote a five-character ancient poem with 4 words, which set the word generation for the continuation of the Roche family. The two were merged into 8 generations. "Loyalty and filial piety are all in Lie Hong, and the name of Fang Zhen Yu Zhang, Li Chao Rong Jia Di, Yi Shi Cui Guan Shang, Neo-Confucianism is far-reaching, the talents of the country are long-lasting, and the spirits are the same as those of Shao Shu, and Qing Yan Fa Lin Xiang." (general idea: loyalty and filial piety are both full of loyalty and heroism, and the name of Yu Zhang is spread far and wide. Senior officials are full of glory, and dignitaries come from generation to generation. The family of Neo-Confucianism is famous far and wide, and the outstanding talents have a long history in the country. Sensitive and intelligent descendants are bright and prosperous, and the family is auspicious. ）
? Luo Wenpu formulated the word generation, which specifically pointed out that the Roche family originated in Yuzhang, and "the name of the family vibrates Yuzhang".
? Since Luo Zhugong, the first ancestor of Roche in Yuzhang, due to the reasons of being an official, doing business, making a living, avoiding disasters and so on, the descendants of Roche gradually migrated to all corners of the country and scattered around Kyushu. Gradually formed five counties, namely Yuzhang, Xiangyang, Hedong (Taiyuan), Qijun (Jinan) and Changsha. Today, Roche, which is inhabited by Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and Guizhou provinces, accounts for about 75% of the total population of Roche in China.
? According to ancient history books and records of Roche's genealogy in various places, we can generally see the general situation of Roche's migration in Yuzhang. Taking Yuzhang (Nanchang, Jiangxi) as the birthplace, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the descendants of Roche mainly gathered in Xiangyang, Changsha and Yuzhang, and began to enter Sichuan, and then entered Guizhou.
? By the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Roche's descendants had spread all over Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei, and began to enter Fujian. At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, Fujian entered Guangdong again.
the surname Luo moved to Taiwan Province, and the literature recorded at present dates back to the early years of Yongzheng in Qing dynasty. Roche from Zhangzhou, Fujian, together with Guo and He, went to Keelung, Taiwan Province for reclamation. In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Luo Chaozhang, a Cantonese, reclaimed land in Hongmao Township, Hsinchu, Taiwan Province. In the eleventh year of Yongzheng, Luo Hequan, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, reclaimed land in Xinzhuangzi Village, Dongluo Xibao, Changhua County, Taiwan. Since then, a large number of descendants of the Luo family have moved to Taiwan Province to build Taiwan Province with the local people. Today, Luo's population ranks 18th in Taiwan Province.
? Since the Qing Dynasty, Roche, who lives in Meixian, Tai Po, Guangdong and Ninghua, Fujian, has migrated overseas many times. Mainly moved to countries such as Wendao (Indonesia) in Nanyang. Luo Fangbo, whose ancestral home is Shishanbao, Meixian County, Jiaying Prefecture, Guangdong Province, established an Lanfang Kingdom in West Borneo (now Kaliman Island), and implemented the "Lanfang Grand Chief System", which lasted for 18 years (AD 1777-1885). At present, there are still hundreds of thousands of Roche descendants living in Southeast Asia such as Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines.
? South Korea is the main country where overseas descendants of Roche in Yuzhang live. According to statistics, there are 6, descendants of Roche living in Jeollanam-do and Jeollabuk-do. South Korea's Roche is divided into "Jincheng Roche" and "Luozhou Roche", both of whom consider themselves descendants of Yu Zhang Luo Zhugong, and Nanchang, Jiangxi Province is a place to seek roots and ancestors.
? Excerpted from Book of Datong of Roche in Jincheng, Volume I, Original Examination of Surname: "Zhugong made meritorious service to Gaozu in the early Han Dynasty and was sealed in Yuzhang County for Yuzhang Roche. ..... Huang Chao chaos, moved everywhere, China's Luo is a book. "
? According to the Records of Book of Chengdu Roche Datong, Volume I, A Preliminary Examination, Luo Xeon was the "Chengdu Roche" I. Luo Xeon, a native of Tang Dynasty. He used to be a servant of Shangshu, an assistant minister in the middle, a doctor in the imperial history, an assistant envoy of Huangzhou Yong ying, and asked for Sima affairs according to the whole state. There are two theories that Luo Xeon cannot escape to South Korea. First, it opposed the imperial deliberation of Emperor Taizong's conquest of Koguryo, and second, it was due to the war. Due to the lack of historical materials, it is difficult to determine.
? Luo Xeon sailed to South Korea, settled in Faluo County (now Luozhou), and later served as the left prime minister in Silla court. Luo Xeon's official position is high, and he is famous all his life. As a result, the family is prosperous, with deep roots and prosperous people, forming a mighty "Jincheng Roche".
? Luo Fu is the ancestor of Luozhou Roche, as recorded in Luozhou Roche Datong Spectrum. "According to the old article, the ancestor was jealous of wealth and was ordered to make an expedition to the east, but he did not return to his life. Song died and still lived in Luozhou." According to historical documents, Luo Fu, the ancestor, was sent to Korea by order of the imperial court. Before I could return to my life, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, so I still lived in Hukou and finally settled in Luozhou. ）
? Luo Fu, the ancestor of Luozhou Roche Datong, was specially noted: "This is an official from China, who came to the East to settle in Luozhou, and Li Chao was an official. The official was discussing the matter of the doctor supervising the guards and the generals and Dr. Jin Ziguanglu. The tomb is located in the original place where Yongzhen Dongzi sits on the face of Luozhou. "
? South Korea's "The Original Miscellaneous Notes of Li Chao's Surname" clearly points out that Luo Fu is from Nanchang, Jiangxi. "Roche came from Yuzhang, China, and those who are afraid of wealth are the general of the guard of the doctor in Koryo, and he is the ancestor of Luozhou."
? Luo Fuben was a military attache and an emissary of the Song Dynasty. After staying in Korea, he was highly valued by the Korean court, and he was prosperous. Although far away from the motherland, he was proud of his ancestors and made Yuzhang Roche carry forward in a foreign country.
? The domestic "Roche Genealogy" records categorically that Luo Fu is a native of Donggang Luo Village, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province (now Luojiaji Luojia Village). His father: "Luo Tingzhong, in the first year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty, Ying Maocai's different test book will be the final verdict in Yanzhou." His mother: "Fan Shi, from Jinxian County."
? Luo Fu is Luo Ting's second son, "Shi Pingxiang made. In the second year of Daguan, Mingtang entered Wu Qiwei, and Jiayun rode Wei to serve as a negotiator. "
? The domestic Luo Family Tree and Luo Zhou Luo Da Tong Tree are consistent with each other, and the historical chronology, related historical materials and legends prove each other. South Korea's "Luo Zhou Luo Shi" is a descendant and branch of Luo Shi in Luojia Village, Nanchang, Jiangxi.
From 26 to 27, Xiaolan Village, liantang town, Nanchang County (Berlin Roche) once welcomed several Korean Roche delegations seeking their roots and ancestors. According to "The Genealogy of Roche", "The lineage of the first ancestor Zhu Gong was passed down to the sixteenth ancestor Sui Gong, and all of them gave birth to two sons: Qi Sheng, Zunsheng, Loyalty and Filial Piety, which were divided into two tribes of Nanchang Berlin Roche". Thus, liantang town Xiaolan Village is not the earliest birthplace of Yuzhang Roche.
? According to local chronicles, the Nanchang city we are talking about today was moved from Guanxi to Taiyi Guanxi in East Lake in 637 AD (the 11th year of Zhenguan). Since Nanchang City moved westward, the "irrigation city" built by Luo Zhugong and Guan Ying should be in the area of Hufang Township today. Therefore, the earliest birthplace of Yuzhang Roche should be Luojiaji area, namely Donggang Roche. Up to now, South Korea's Roche also circulated that their ancestors were "2 miles east of Yuzhang".

"There are no two schools in the Luo family in the world", and the descendants of Roche have left their homes and wandered in foreign countries no matter what, and they will always remember that their ancestors carried on the Roche family tree. They will always miss the "root" in their hearts and always respect the "birthplace" and "birthplace". As a result, the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" has become a sacred place for Roche to worship in the world. Ancestral temple is a symbol of clan. The ancients said, "Tracing back to the source is more important than ancestral temple", "Without ancestral temple, there is no clan, and without clan, there is no ancestor". In ancient times, people thought that ancestral halls were the habitat of ancestors' souls.
"Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" was founded in the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, about 15 BC. According to "Preface to Rebuilding the Ancestral Hall of Luoshi in Yuzhang", it is recorded that: "My surname is the ancestor of Yuzhang, and I am afraid of pearls, and my words are pregnant with Han Gong. All these academic articles have made me a famous career. Zuo Hangao founded the country, and treated the millet from the inside, but was too defensive from the outside. After the irrigation, he built a city. Looking at the great honor, the sage is called the great hidden, so as to stay at Yuzhang. Since then, children and grandchildren have benefited from beauty, loyalty and filial piety, so they have the reputation of' Yuzhang Family'.
? Zhou Yafu, the commander of Tai Wei, played the role of building Yuzhang City by the public, and offered it as Chongming De. "
Zhou Yafu (the son of zhou bo), the commander of "one man is above ten thousand people", suggested that the emperor must give a decree, which shows the high status of "Roche Ancestral Hall in Yuzhang". In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Jite, Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem for the "Roche Ancestral Hall in Yuzhang": "The Roche Ancestral Hall, the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and the cypresses, did not move their ancestors in the first generation, so it will last forever."
? In the seventh year of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 974), the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" was rebuilt due to years of decadence.
? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" was destroyed by the war.
? From the 19th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty to the 2nd year of Daoguang (AD 1822), the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" was relocated and rebuilt on a grand scale.
? In the sixth year of Tongzhi (AD 1868), the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" was rebuilt.
In 1931, the descendants of Roche collected shares to raise money, and the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" was rebuilt again.
? A copy of the title certificate issued by the government during the Republic of China still exists in Roche Genealogy. Due to historical reasons, the "Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall" has long since vanished. According to the Property Right Certificate of Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall, its original location is: Zigu Road in the east (Minde Road to "Fuhui Building"); South of Minde Road ("Nanchang Second Massage Hospital" and "Home-cooked Restaurant"; West to "Phoenix Slope Primary School"; North is the "Fuhui Building" wall), covering an area of about 1 acres.
? Yuzhang Roche Ancestral Hall is the root of Roche in the world, and there are two other important Roche Ancestral Halls which are important witnesses of Roche's diversion: Chengkan Roche Ancestral Hall and Shibi Roche Ancestral Hall.
? 1. Chengkan Roche Ancestral Hall
? Chengkan Roche Ancestral Hall in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, with a large scale and exquisite decoration, is modeled after Qufu Confucius Temple and other regulations on the whole, with four entrances and four courtyards and symmetrical axes. It is the most outstanding representative of China ancestral hall architecture and was listed as a "national cultural relics protection unit" in the 196s.
? At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wenchang Gong and Qiu Yingong, the ancestors of Chengkan Roche, fled their families from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province to avoid the chaos in Huang Chao. Seeing that everything here is in harmony and the feng shui is wonderful, I settled down. The Roche brothers are familiar with the theory of geomantic omen and changed their original name from "Longxi" to "Chengkan". The whole village is located and laid out according to the eight diagrams geomantic theory of Yijing: "Yin (Kan), Yang (Presentation), the unity of two qi, and the unity of man and nature", and it is surrounded by mountains and waters, forming three streets and ninety-nine lanes, just like a maze. Chengkan Roche family flourished in the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, with high officials, hermits, wealthy businessmen, poets, painters, eminent monks, etc., and their talents came forth in large numbers. According to the Roche Genealogy, there were more than 11 officials in the DPRK in the Ming Dynasty alone. In the preface to Roche Genealogy, Zhu Xi praised that "the scholars who made a family of descendants are the first in the literature".
? Second, the Roche Ancestral Hall in Shibi
? Luo Lingji (688-777), the ancestor of Hakka Roche, is the 25th descendant of Luo Zhugong in Yuzhang. Luo Wanfa, his great grandfather, moved from Shaxian to Huangliandong during the reign of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (58-6). Luo Lingji, together with witch Luo Jun, led many people to reclaim land and cut down mountains, and devoted himself to the development of Huanglian, so that Huanglian was built as a town in the second year of Ganfeng in Tang Dynasty (667), promoted to a county in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan (725), and changed Huanglian County to Ninghua County in the first year of Tianbao (742).
? Ninghua is still in its infancy, with a vast territory, sparsely populated and beautiful scenery, and Roche from all over the world has gathered in Ninghua one after another. For example, in the fifth year of Tang Ganfu (878), Luo Yizhen, the 32nd Duke of Yuzhang and Zhugong, moved his son Luo Jingxin from Xishan in Nanchang to Qianhua County in Qianzhou (now Ningdu County in Ganzhou), and moved to Ninghua Shibi Village in Tingzhou, Fujian for several decades. During the war in Yuan Dynasty, Luo Shangli, the 45th Duke of Yuzhang and Zhugong, moved from Qianzhou to Ninghua Shibi Village, Tingzhou, Fujian to make a living.
? Luo Lingji is the hero of opening county in Ninghua, Fujian, which is the center of Roche's spread and relocation in the south. Later, Roche in Guangdong and Taiwan Province all came from there, such as Shunde, Nanhai, Panyu, Heyuan, Chengxiang (Meixian), Xingning, Changle (Wuhua), Guishan (Boluo), Longchuan and so on. "Records of Jiaying Prefecture" says: "Meizhou people's heroic resistance to Yuan Dynasty, the land is the market. Those who are close to Guangdong in Fujian have migrated to Mei, with Ninghua as the most. All relatives and friends asked about their ancestors, all from Shibi people in Ninghua. " As early as 1912, the British missionary Ken Bell published the article "The Origin and Migration of Hakka", which also said: "Nine times out of ten, the Hakkas in Lingdong claimed that their ancestors came from Shishi, Ninghua County, Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province.
