Tongkeng Township is located in Baita Town, Jiedong County, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. It is one of the earlier towns in Baita town, and Tongkeng kway teow is a famous snack nearby. There are two groups under Tongkeng, namely, Tonghe Village and Tonglian Village. There are more than a dozen small villages under Tonghe Village. The total population is about 2,. Basically, all of them are surnamed Lin. In Tongkeng Middle School, Tonghe Primary School and Tonglian Primary School, 99% of the students are surnamed Lin. When people call each other by their first names, they only call each other by their first names. Tongkeng is an outstanding place, in Jiedong Jiexi Puning. This is a business center. After the reform and opening up, many people went to Dongguan, Shenzhen to do business, but not many of them stayed in the local development. There are a lot of millionaires and billionaires in Tongkeng, and they are basically made in Shenzhen and Dongguan.

In Chaoshan, people like to say, "Chen Lincai is half the world." Scholars who study surnames in Taiwan say, "Chen Lin spent half a day." In several southern provinces, Chen occupies the first place, while Lin is firmly in the runner-up.

there is a passage in the Millennium genealogy of the Kaizu people in Minlin, compiled by the board of directors of the restoration of the ancestral cultural relics and monuments in Minlin, Fujian: "The grandson of Lin Guixiang algae lives in Putian, Shanyou, Zhangzhou ... the land of Chaozhou, Guangdong." "Yun Gongzi's grandson lives in Putian, Fujian, Ji 'an, Jiangxi, and Chaozhou, Guangdong." Compared with each other, it is very consistent.

Another member of the Lin family who moved from Putian to Chaozhou, although they are not the grandchildren of Lin Pi, are qualified to be called "Jiumu Family". Because there is another "Jiumu Family" in Putian, Fujian. They were Lin Mao, the founder of Putian of Lin's family in Jin 'an, and passed on to Lin Zan in the eighth generation, and Lin Zan passed on to Lin Qi. Lin Qisheng has nine sons, all of whom are scholars, and they also serve as the secretariat of the prefecture. At this time, it was already in the Song Dynasty, so it was called "Song Jiumu" to distinguish it from "Tang Jiumu". Lin, who now lives in Xianting in Chaoan and Donglin, Shanxia, Qincuotou, Jiaolong, Tongkeng, Dongpu, Beikeng, Sanzhou and Lintian in Jieyang, is the great shepherd of "Song Jiumu" and was the descendant of Lin Jingyuan, the secretariat of Huizhou. The other son of "Song Jiumu" is a settled man, "official to Qing Guanglu, a doctor, moved to Pengzhou, Chenghai on a whim" (Tsung i Jao's manuscript of Clan Records).

in a word, there is no doubt that the Lin family in Chaozhou is either the descendant of "Tang Jiumu" or "Song Jiumu". Because most of the ancestors of Lin, who lives in Chaoshan today, "moved from Putian", of course, they are qualified to put "Jiumu Family" above the threshold. Jiumu Tomb is still here today, located on the hillside of Zixiaoyan in Putian. It is a famous cultural relic in Putian. Every year, people from home and abroad come to visit and visit it in an endless stream, especially on the day of sweeping Jiumu Tomb, tens of thousands of Lin descendants gather here.
