In the Song Dynasty, the Jin Bing invaded south, and the 48th grandson of Confucius and the grandchildren of Yan Shenggong Kong Duanyou were unwilling to be a slave. The descendants of Kong Duanyou inherited the nose of Yan Shenggong for six generations under the shelter of the Southern Song Dynasty. After the Mongolians unified China, the opposition and field agreed that the descendants of Kong Duanyou were authentic, and the Beizong Yangong of the Yuan Dynasty was not a biography. As a result, the Yuan Shizu Kublai Lie ordered the sixth -generation Yan Shengong Kong Yan (that is, Nanzong) to return to Lu to worship. However, after the return of Kong Xunfeng to Qufu, he resolutely gave the Duke Yan Sheng to Beizong. Confucius and Mrs. Kai Mu, who carved with Zigong, was finally repaid again.
