Legend has it that many years ago, Xiaoyi had a family of Tian Jia. The old couple are hardworking, thrifty, well-educated and live in harmony. She has three sons: the eldest son Tian Zhen, the second son Ching Tien and the third son Tian Guang. Parents married their daughter-in-law and gave birth to children. Tian Laohan and his wife led their son to work hard for many years and saved a good fortune.
Finally, one day, the old couple were both sick. The parents called their three sons' daughter-in-law grandchildren to the bedside, asked the eldest daughter-in-law to bring a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen and tie them together, and gave them to the eldest son for him to break once. The eldest son broke off hard.
I haven't broken it several times. Let the second son, the third son, the third daughter-in-law and the grandson fold, but they failed to fold. The old man also asked everyone to give a chopstick and break it at the same time As a result, except for the youngest grandson, who is only three years old, there is no discount.
Outside, everyone else is broken! The old man asked, "What is the reason?" The eldest daughter-in-law replied, "Chopsticks are thick and not easy to break together, but a small chopstick is easy to break." The old man said earnestly, "It's just that.
As long as you unite as one, live in harmony, manage your family diligently, and be filial, the days will be more and more prosperous. . . . . "Son daughter-in-law nodded, the old man safely closed his eyes.
After Tian's parents died, the family became a headless goose, and there were no differences between the brothers, but the three daughters-in-law, especially the third daughter-in-law, were usually tricky, so they were assigned separately. Tian Jia San Xiong Yan Di
I haven't seen any of them, so I want to discuss the division of my family.
* * * agreed that the family property, such as land, farm tools, livestock, houses, etc., would be divided into three parts, one for each of the three brothers. In the end, only the tall bauhinia tree in the yard was left. How to divide it? Three people all want it and win it.
Red-faced, uncompromising, arguing from morning till night Finally, it was decided to cut the bauhinia tree into three sections, one for each of the three families. The next morning, when the three brothers cut down trees with big saws and axes, they only saw purple flowers full of red flowers.
The Jing tree withered overnight. Flowers wither, leaves fall and trees die. All three brothers were surprised.
! Unconsciously throwing saws and axes on the ground. Suddenly, Mr. Tian said sadly, "Someone must have seen this big tree. My brothers can't get through, and my parents died of humiliation! " We three grown men,
Still brothers, not as good as this tall bauhinia tree! "Said, and cried. The second child went on to say, "Before their parents died, they told us to' stick together and live in harmony'." "However, my parents have just died, and I
The children are separating. Are we worthy of my parents' spirit in heaven? "Say, also burst into tears. The third son couldn't help crying after listening to the words of his two brothers. The more they cry, the more painful they are. Tears are pouring down around the bauhinia tree.
Wai. The crying alarmed three daughters-in-law and their children. They came to see it and were surprised! They all began to cry in shame. He (she) cried for three days and nights, and the tears spilled under the tree like showers.
It is raining. On the fourth day, the Bauhinia tree sighed and said, "Without filial piety, heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. Filial piety and righteousness, dead trees are reborn. " As soon as the voice fell, I saw the trees full of flowers open again, and the green leaves were more complicated.
Mao! The bauhinia tree came back from the dead, and the three brothers and their daughter-in-law were as harmonious as ever. Love each other, Qi Xin work together, the days are getting more and more prosperous, and they often help villagers solve their difficulties. Former scholars made up a play called Home.
Music. Later generations named this place Xiaoyi in recognition of the filial piety of Tian's three brothers in abiding by their parents' last words and caring for the villagers. It used to be Xiaoyi Town, and now it has become gongyi city City. A big one downtown.
This road is also named Amethyst Road.

Xiaoyi, also known as "hometown", was first recorded in the Han Dynasty, when a Tian family lived, and there was a bauhinia tree in the courtyard. Tian has three sons, the eldest is true, the second is wide, and the third is Qing, all of whom are married.
Wife gets married, lives and eats together, and is thrifty and well-off. Over time, Tian's parents suddenly fell ill, that is, they called their three sons to bed and told them: "People should attach importance to thrift, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, work together, live in harmony and prosper their family business." Passed away.
Soon, the third daughter-in-law and her husband separated. The three brothers couldn't twist it, so they divided the property into three parts. Only the bauhinia in the yard does not belong. The three brothers discussed it until midnight and agreed to cut down trees and distribute firewood the next morning. The next morning, the bauhinia tree was suddenly found dead, and the whole family
Shocked, the boss cried at the tree; "Vegetation is flourishing and people are thriving. We separated, and the tree didn't want to die. We are not as good as trees? " The two brothers said in unison, "My parents' will is still there. Who can break it? "three
My brother cried around the tree and touched his wife. The whole family cried for three days in a row. At this moment, the tree suddenly said, "Without filial piety, heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. Xiaoyi is reborn. " After all, the trees are full of flowers. From then on, the three brothers no longer separated and obeyed each other.
Abide by parents' training, diligently promote the family, often help those in need and benefit the village. Touched the villagers. "Following the father's last words is filial piety and harmony is righteousness", and everything goes well at home. In recognition of the achievements of the Tian San brothers, this village was named "Xiao Village"
So far. Sui dynasty called it "filial piety post"; The Tang Dynasty was called "Xiaoyi Township"; In the Song Dynasty, it was called "Xiaoyi Fort"; It has been called "Xiaoyi Town" since Ming and Qing Dynasties.
