Kong Zongyuan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Song dynasty nobleman; first Duke Yansheng
Kong Zongyuan (simplified Chinese :孔宗愿; traditional Chinese :孔宗願, courtesy name 子莊) was a 46th generation descendant of Confucius and the first Duke Yansheng.
When Kong Shengyou (孔聖佑) died without a son, Kong Zongyuan succeeded him as Duke Wenxuan (文宣公) in 1039.[1] In 1055, Emperor Renzong of Song renamed the title to Duke Yansheng (衍聖公).[2] Descendants of Kong Zongyuan continued to hold the title of Duke Yansheng until 1935.[3] [4]
Kong Zongyuan is buried in the Cemetery of Confucius in Qufu.
