I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

According to Yang Ming's identity and status, he should go to the Yang Family Ancestral Hall in Longchuan County to hold an ancestor recognition ceremony.

Yang Ming did not plan to go, and the ceremony would be held directly at the Yang Family Ancestral Hall in Sanjiaotang.

Yang Ming was brought to the Yang Family Ancestral Hall by Yang Shuhai.

The Yang family ancestral hall in Sanjiangtang is now located in Weilong House.

When he came, almost everyone in the village of Sanjiantang came.

However, according to custom, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and those women can only wait outside.

In addition, the Yang clan of Longchuan County, as well as representatives of the Yang clan from Laolong, Tuocheng, etc., suddenly received a notice last night that Mr. Yang would officially recognize his ancestor and return to the clan today. They came in a hurry early in the morning.

When Yang Ming arrived, even though Yang Ming was in a wheelchair, they still felt that Mr. Yang was really good.

The auspicious time to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan is 8:48 am.

This is the auspicious time calculated by Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang at the same time.

At this time, there are about ten minutes left before the auspicious time.

Now inside and outside the ancestral hall, all the people are male, including old people, middle-aged people, and children, all from the Yang family of Longchuan.

The man responsible for presiding over the ceremony for Yang Ming's recognition of his ancestors and his return to the clan is an old man in his seventies who is knowledgeable, respected and deeply trusted by the Yang family in Longchuan.

The old man used to be a middle school teacher. Later, after he retired, he was responsible for some matters related to the Yang family. He also participated in and presided over the rewriting of the Yang family's genealogy.

This time Mr. Yang came back from Xiangjiang to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Since Mr. Yang's status was not simple, the Yang clan invited him to come forward to preside over the ceremony of recognizing his ancestors and returning to the clan.

This is a very complicated ritual process.

Yang Ming came outside the ancestral hall but had not yet entered the ancestral hall.

Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Xiuzhi, and Li Yufang are all outside.

None of them can go in.

However, it can be done outside the ancestral hall.

Looking at this ancestral hall, although it is also part of the Weilong House, it does seem to be very old. Almost when the Weilong House existed, the Yang's Ancestral Hall in Sanjiangtang existed.

"Peter, how do you feel?" Li Yufang asked looking at her son dressed like that.

Li Yufang's place also has a ceremony to recognize ancestors and return to the clan, but it is still somewhat different from the Hakka ceremony here, so she can't make the decision on many things.

"Mommy, I feel okay."

If it was before liberation, this would actually be a very serious matter.

However, since the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, families, clans, etc. have been greatly suppressed and suppressed, and they are no longer as strong as before.

For example, in a family or a village, if many things cannot be resolved, they can still be resolved by holding a clan meeting.

In Yang Ming's view, this is not beneficial to the development of the domestic rule of law.

Locally, in this day and age, things are almost the same.

Other relatives and representatives who came to participate and witness Mr. Yang's recognition of his ancestors all greeted Mr. Yang one after another.

8:45am.

There were more and more firecrackers outside, and the ceremony for Yang Ming to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan was getting closer and closer.

8:48am.

Yang Shuhai took Yang Ming into the ancestral hall.

The old man from the Yang family is there.

After cleaning his hands, he respectfully took out the Yang family tree.

According to the custom of the Hakka people here, they first worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then worshiped the ancestors here.

Inside are many spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Yang family in Sanjiangtang.

As for what Yang Ming wanted to do and how to do it, he started to act like a puppet, with the old man Yang and Yang Shuhai guiding Yang Ming to do it.

Others were watching this sacred scene.

Including Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang who were allowed to come in for a visit. As the Xiangjiang Feng Shui masters invited back by Mr. Yang, they are now highly respected.

From the perspective of Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang, these customs that seemed to have existed for many years did not occur to them that they still existed in China.

It’s just that they may have been destroyed before, and many of them have disappeared.

This time, because of Yang Ming, he took it out according to the very traditional etiquette.

This is actually a testimony and preservation of traditional culture.

At this time, the old man of the Yang family read: "This time Yang Ming, a member of the Yang family, recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. The Yang family members expressed their welcome to return to the Yang family. It was confirmed that his grandfather was Yang Shuquan, the 26th generation of the Yang family. My father is Yang Jirong, the 27th generation of the Yang family. In the early 28s, his father Yang Jirong went to Xiangjiang to develop his career. Later, he married Li in Xiangjiang and gave birth to a son, Yang Ming, who is the th generation descendant of the Yang family."

. . .

"Yang Ming is of the same lineage as Yang Jirong, the same generation, and now represents the Yang family's agreement that he recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan."

Yang Ming's grandfather, Yang Shu, all belongs to the "tree" generation.

Yang Ming's father, Yang Jirong, belongs to the "step" generation.

By Yang Ming's generation, he already belongs to the 'one' generation.

However, when Yang Jirong and his wife named Yang Ming, they did not use the "一" character from their hometown. If it were recorded according to the genealogy, Yang Ming's real name in Sanjiangtang was Yang Yiming.

Yang Ming always uses his English name in Xiangjiang, and usually calls him by other names. It doesn't really matter whether he is called "一" or not.

The old man from the Yang family spoke and read in Hakka, which Yang Ming basically couldn't understand.

However, he was sitting in a wheelchair, facing the ancestors' spiritual tablets here, and he was thinking silently, "No need to blame, I am already a real member of the Yang clan, and I hope the ancestors of the Yang clan can continue to bless him."

Yang Ming knew very well that he inherited the body of the original Yang Ming, but his real soul came from the future.

This ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan was very complicated. During the ceremony, when the old man Yang was reciting blessings, Yang Ming felt as if he was singing.

It really is like singing.

It took nearly two hours for the old man to finish this step.

This has already reduced a lot of rituals.

Next, the old man Yang picked up the thick family tree and opened it to the page of Yang Jirong.

Pick up the brush and write Yang Jirong's wife - Mrs. Li next to Yang Jirong's name.

Write Yang Yiming's name below the couple.

Originally, Yang Ming's identity was not simple. A lot of things had to be added, including Yang Ming's experience in Xiangjiang, his achievements, etc. These are all for the descendants of the Yang family to watch.

Not much can be written on it now.

The old man of the Yang family just wrote with a brush that Yang Ming was born in Xiangjiang on a certain day of a certain year, and became the richest man in Xiangjiang on a certain year and a certain month. He returned to his hometown from Xiangjiang on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month. Recognize the ancestors and return to the clan every day of the month, etc.

When we rewrite the genealogy of the Yang family in the future, Yang Ming will be the focus of the close-up. Now it is only officially confirmed that Yang Ming recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, and his identity is added to the Yang family tree, becoming the Longchuan Yang family. The 28th generation descendant.

Next, it was Yang Ming's turn to speak.

Originally, these had to be written in advance and read accordingly.

When Yang Ming faced these Yang clan members, he did not read any manuscripts and said directly: "Today I can come back to recognize my ancestors and become a member of the Yang clan. I hope that I can continue to pioneer and make progress in front of my ancestors." , I hope to be blessed by Yang’s ancestors.”

. . .

In Yang Ming's view, Hakka people are all over the world, but things are a little different here in his hometown. In addition to geographical location and other factors, there is also a big reason, that is, they are not open enough and even a little xenophobic.

If a place is too exclusive, intolerant, or inclusive of various cultures, it will be difficult for it to develop.

This is also Yang Ming's own hope. He knows that if he wants to change his hometown so that everyone in his hometown can live a life of food, clothing, and even prosperity, then the original conservative and xenophobic ideology and culture must be gradually changed, so in In the next thirty years, amidst the great changes in the country, only the Hakkas in their hometown, and even the Hakkas in other surrounding places, will be able to have a place.
