Volume 10 of "Zhao Gong" recorded in detail the situation of Chu's destruction of Lai: "Therefore, the princes were destroyed, Lai Zi was bound to the wall, and the scholar was exposed. Subsequently, it was built in the Han army. Wang asked about peppers. Yes: yes, Gong's. The king himself released him, and he was bound by his wall and burned him. "Wang Congzhi, moved to Yan."

In the Song Dynasty, he wrote "History of the Road": "Lai, Viscount and Cai Zanyi Pavilion were destroyed by Chu."
Ma Duanlin, a historian of Yuan Dynasty, wrote in A General Examination of Literature: "Lai Xing, viscount, his country ... now Baoxin County, Cai Zhou".
In Qing Dynasty, Gu compiled Chronicle of Events in the Spring and Autumn Period, which lasted for four years. Today, the northeast of Xixian County, Gwangju, Henan Province is the sixth year of Lai's reign: "There is a scenic city in the southwest of Xixian County, which is located in the northeast of Xixian County." "Thirteen Years of Textual Research on Geographical Names in the Spring and Autumn Period" in the early Qing Dynasty wrote: "In the fourth year of Zhao ... (Chu) was banned by Qi Qing, and then it was destroyed ...".
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty depends on the pavilion, so it depends on the country. "
The General Examination of Literature said: "Lai Guo is in Baoxin County. Hanbao New County changed to Baoxin, and Yuan changed to Baoxin Town. Now it is in the northeast of Xixian County, and its pavilion is here. "
Zhang Shu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, edited The Origin of Surnames, which recorded: "Lai Tongtong said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was attached to the country and later took the country as his surname. Shu Publishing House: Sima Biao said: "The Baoxin County in Runan depends on the pavilion, so it depends on the country. Chu destroyed it, and future generations took the country as their surname ... Lai Gu made great efforts, which the world considered a success, not a failure. (Cloud) Li and Lai. "
Shen Qinhan, a historian in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in the Origin of Surnames: "Lai Customs Tong said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the country was attached to it, and then it was named after it. Shu Publishing House: Sima Biao said: Yi Ting in Baoxin County, Ru 'nan, therefore depends on the country.

It has been thirteen years since the founding of the People's Republic of China and seven years since King Jing, and he attacked Wu with his ministers and destroyed Lai. Laizi's face was tied to the wall, and the scholar was exposed, and then he was built in China's army. The king asked all the peppers to hold up their hands and said to them, "If you become kings, you must make a promise. If you make a promise, the king will remove his shackles, accept his walls and burn his coffin." Zi Chu followed it and moved to Yan. And die. Inheriting the national calendar for 585 years.
The Map of the Spring and Autumn Period compiled and drawn by Gui Wencan during Xianfeng period in Qing Dynasty marked the existence of Lai in the northeast of Xixian County.
Shuye Tong, a modern scholar, wrote in the Spring and Autumn Annals: "King Chu Ling ... attacked Lai with vassal soldiers (about in the eastern part of Henan Province today, bordering Anhui Province) and moved Lai people to Yan State."
The Atlas of Chinese History compiled by Gu Jiegang, a famous historian in modern times, also indicates that Lai is in the northeast of Xixian County.
Therefore, many historical books and documents clearly record that Lai's rise originated from Baoxin Town, Xixian County.
Second, the cultural relics and sites unearthed in Baoxin Town are consistent with historical records.
Baoxin Town has gone through many vicissitudes, and the ancient buildings no longer exist, but the cultural sites on the ground still exist, and many cultural relics have been unearthed underground.
To the south of Luhe Bridge 1 km, the ancient city of Fuzhuang Village is the ruins of the capital city of Gulai Ziguo. In 65438 BC+065438 BC+022 BC, Shu Ying, his nineteenth son, was made a viscount, the founding king of Lai, and established his capital here. The site is square, with length 1 12m and width 1 13m. There are three gates in the east, west and south, surrounded by a 40-meter-wide river outside the city wall. Now the southwest corner of the city has been artificially filled in, and the rest have maintained the original topography. On the ground of the site, there are many pieces of pottery scattered. The shapes of the collection are: Ding, Wei, Can, etc. Decorative patterns are divided into rope patterns, carved patterns, finger pits and additional pile patterns. The texture is mostly gray pottery with sand, but also khaki and black pottery pieces. On the periphery of the city wall, there is a braised soil belt around it. According to Zuo Zhuan, King Chu Ling moved to Yan State after his death. He also intends to move Xu to Lai's territory. He sent minister Dou Weigui and childe to abandon their illness and return to Chu after Lai built the city. However, "the water of East China cannot be a city. It's Lai's teacher. " This winter, the rainy cities in eastern Chu were devastated and could not be built. Peng Sheng, the doctor of Chu, had no choice but to recall the troops in Laizao City. These stewed clods should be soaked in water and washed by rain and snow to burn firewood. 1in the autumn of 995, relevant experts and scholars once again inspected the site of Laiguo Capital. Many pottery fragments were found on the ground of the site, which were identified as cans, cans and other types. The texture is red pottery with sand and gray pottery with sand.
The surrounding braised soil layer was found in the foundation trench of the city wall. There are 6-7 layers of rammed earth in the braised soil layer, each layer is 15-20cm thick. There are rammed pits on each rammed soil layer, which are slightly hemispherical pits. Pottery fragments were found in the soil layer of the foundation of the city wall, and experts determined that the site belonged to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
On the banks of the Lu River, 800 meters northeast of the ancient city, there is the site of Bangshan Mountain. According to folklore, Shuying dug Yue Bai Pool for his wife Yue Bai. In Yue Bai, clams are scattered in ponds. In Yue Bai, clam shells pile up into mountains, hence the name Clam Mountain. The site is hilly, with a length and width of 50 meters and a height of 1.5 meters, and contains a large number of mussels. The unearthed pottery includes tripod, pottery cake, antlers and mussels.
800 meters west of the ruins of the ancient city is the tomb of Lai Guojiu's Nine Martyrs. In 538 BC, King Chu Ling led the vassals to attack Lai, burning, killing and committing adultery. Unwilling to be humiliated, nine foreign women threw themselves into Wanghu Lake. In order to avoid Chu's injury, the subjects of Laiguo, who changed their names and surnames and were not taken away, were moved by the heroic acts of nine women and fished out the bodies of nine women and buried them together. Therefore, it is called "Laiguo Nine Martyrs Tomb". The tomb is 18m long from east to west, 14m wide from north to south and 2m high.
200 meters in front of Louzhuang, the west mansion of Baoxin Town, is the tomb of Wang Shuying, the ancestor of Lai Xing, who opened the country. The present tomb is 2.5 meters high, 66 meters long from north to south and 30 meters wide from east to west. Shuying Cemetery was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in Xixian County on 1982 and a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in Henan Province in 2006.
Shu Ying's noble qualities of kindness and diligence in governing the country have always been praised by local people.
There are eight ancient tombs in the south of Shuying Mausoleum, which locals say are "Eight Kings Mausoleums".
Shuying was sealed in 584 and passed down to fourteen generations: Mrs. Shuying's son gave birth to King Hui;
Mrs. Liu Wangxuan;
The lady gave birth;
His wife Yin's life is king;
Mrs. Xiong Shengheng Wang;
Mrs. Heng was born;
Wang Minfu gave birth to Wang Xiang;
King Xiang's wife Jin became king Xiang;
The king's wife Yang Shengsheng rushed to the king;
Mrs. Peng was born;
Mrs. Wu gave birth;
Mrs. Zhang Shengwen Wang;
King Wen's wife Zhao gave birth to a king.
King Tim and his wife Xie were moved to Yan by Chu.
These ancient tombs should be the tombs of Wang Xianxian and the founding sages. Due to the limited funeral conditions and age at that time, other tombs could not be found.
Longwang Temple and Shui Ying Temple are located on the north bank of the Luhe River at the intersection of Guangfeng Ridge and Luhe River. Longwang Temple is very high, and Shui Ying Temple is by the river. According to legend, Shuying was built to pray for the Dragon King of the East China Sea to protect the favorable weather. There used to be two stone buffaloes lying in the river. On the west side of Heping Avenue in the township, there are Xiangyun Temple and Niangniang Temple. It is said that it was built by Queen Shu to pray for the queen to bless Lai Chen Guo and his people. There is a 70-year-old monk abbot. In addition to the above-mentioned historical sites, there are sites such as Wang Hu Site, Ascending Ladder, Ancient Pagoda, Fire Pigeon, Sanguantai and School Field. Among them, the site of Wang Hu is located on the other side of Longwang Temple, which is now a hillock, 3 meters away from the ground, with an area of 65,438 0.8 square meters, containing pottery fragments of the Zhou Dynasty. In the study, many cultural relics related to Lai's history were also found.
The inscription on the back floor of Dongyue Temple Hall in the 27th year of Qing Daoguang, existing on the Western Zhou Bridge, begins with the words "Laibaoxin Town in the Ancient Spring and Autumn Period". Baoxin County, Bill Han, has been in Jianwu for five years. Liu Song changed it to Baoxin, which was revived in the Sui Dynasty ... and abandoned in Xixian County in the Yuan Dynasty. "Zhang Baohua, a villager in Jiecun, Baoxin Town, collected 16 bronze arrows with different shapes in the farmland about 800 meters west of Laiguo Capital. Some are heavy, some are light; From the body shape, there are some with blood grooves, some with needles, and some who can feed poison. One tip has a curved dent, which is obviously caused by shooting into the bone seam. What is rare is the big arrow that the commander-in-chief can use to signal at night. It's smooth and has holes on both sides. It can ignite cotton and cloth and pour oil into the sky to command and mobilize troops. In addition, more than 50 grimace coins and Chu gold coins were collected, as well as a bronze casting block used as coins before the advent of coins. In addition, there are artificial polished jade rings and bronze hooks. Local villagers also dug up more than 20 early bronze mirrors and Zhou Dynasty pottery in Wang Hu, where nine women from Lai Guo were thrown into the water. The ages of these cultural relics and sites are consistent with historical records and documents.
Three, Baoxin Fu surname-evidence of Lelov United Sect
In Baoxin Town, Xixian County, there is a strange phenomenon that there are many Fu villages around Laizhou Old Town and Laiwang Tomb: Fu Yaozhuang, Qianfu Building and Houfu Building in the west, and Dafu Weizi, Fu Xiaowei and Fu Xiaozhuang in the north. Fu's surname accounts for about a quarter of the total population of Baoxin Town.
At the same time, the names of some villages seem to have nothing to do with Fu's surname, but in fact, the population of Fu's surname accounts for more than half, such as Niulou, Chenlou, Jiangzhuang, Guo Zhuang, Sunzhuang and Chendazhuang.
In fennel, xia zhuang and other towns not far from Baoxin, there are many surnames such as Luo and Fu. Why are there so many Luo Fu in Baoxin Town? By consulting a large number of historical materials, investigating and collecting local unearthed cultural relics and customs and habits circulating among local Luo and Fu surnames, and conducting serious investigation and research, the mystery in people's minds was finally solved:
The article "The Origin of lai xing" edited by Xie, an expert on surname research, says: "According to contemporary scholars' research, Lai's former site is in Baoxin Town, Xixian County, Henan Province, and Lai is a national surname, so lai xing originated in Henan." At the same time, the genealogies of Lai in Taiwan Province, Jiaoling in Guangdong and Henan are also circulating. It is recorded that after Lai was destroyed by Chu, in order to avoid the harm of King Chu Ling, some Lai people changed their surnames to Luo or Fu, so there was the saying of "Fu Hezu".
At the same time, there is a monument to rebuild the back building of Dongyue Temple Hall in the 27th year of Qing Daoguang, which records Baoxin as the seat of Laizhou State in the Spring and Autumn Period, its historical evolution of more than 2,000 years and the local customs at that time. In the discussion with Luo and Fu, Bao Xin found that there was no intermarriage between Luo and Fu in the town, and there was a custom of offering sacrifices in the same place as the ancestors.
According to the above facts and materials, combined with the geographical location of Baoxin Town, unearthed cultural relics and the customs of Luo and Fu, it is proved that Baoxin Town in Xixian County was the location of Laiguo in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are rogue surnames living in the local area now, but Luo and Fu are two surnames. This is historical and logical. Otherwise, many families who come to the star will become in-laws. If Lai Xing people don't want to leave their native land, they have to change their names, otherwise they will be persecuted by the King of Chu and will never recover. Therefore, there are many families with Luo and Fu surnames in Baoxin Town, which is a strong proof of the theory of "Luo Lai Fu Lian Zong" and also a strong proof of the ancient kingdom in Baoxin Town.
