The origin of cheng surname

1, from the Feng family, takes the country as its surname, and is a descendant of Li Zhonghe.

Zhong and Li are figures in the period of "Five Emperors" in ancient legends. His descendant Bofu became emperor in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and established Guo Cheng. The ancient kingdom of Cheng gathered in Luoyang during the Han and Jin Dynasties, which is now the junction of Luoyang and Yanshi in Henan Province. Adult residents take the country name as their surname, so they have the Cheng family.

2. Take the place name as the surname

According to legend, Li's descendants left their father and became a fu. Later, Xu Fang (now the ancient city of Xue in the southeast of Tengzhou City, Shandong Province) was captured, and he was sealed into a city (now the east of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, and some people say it is now the east of Luoyang City). Some of his descendants took the land as their surname and called it Cheng.

3. Fu Bo after Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

According to records, it is the ancestor of Cheng. Because of the "three heresies" offering "the car of Mount Tai, the jade in the well, and the food for both ears", they were sealed in Guangping, and later generations took the country as their surname and called it. In fact, Fu Bo is descended from Li Zhonghe.

Success is named after, not the first one. Guo Cheng residents later called it Shicheng. As for when and where Cheng got his surname, there are different opinions. There are three versions about the year of Cheng's death: the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the year of Cheng Kang and the year of. As far as the location of the Cheng family is concerned, there are also three versions: Guangping (now North Ji Ze, Hebei Province), Shangchengju, Luoyang and Anling (now Xianyang East, Shaanxi Province).

4. The surname of Ji is Xun.

According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xun family (the eldest son of a non-concubine) of the Jin State was collected in Chengyi (now the northeast of Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province), and later generations took the city as their surname and called it Chengxing.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, some powerful surnames appeared in the State of Jin. Xunshi is one of them. Xun lived in the south of Linyi County, Shanxi Province during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then moved to the west of Xinjiang County. Xun, Xun Bin, Xun Hui, etc. They are all famous Qing doctors in the state of Jin, which have a certain influence on the political situation in the state of Jin.

Cheng Yi was the fief of Xunluo, a doctor of the State of Jin. Some people say that this Cheng Yi is Cheng Yi in the northeast of Xianyang in Guanzhong. However, the vicinity of Xianyang at that time should belong to the territory of Qin State. Although the State of Jin once owned "Eight Cities in Hexi", it was difficult to reach the vicinity of Xianyang.

Therefore, we believe that Cheng Yi, as a fief of Gougou, should be in Shaanxi today. Because the name of Gou Jian's fief was Cheng Yi, his descendants took Cheng Yi as their surname.

5. Other nationalities and surnames were changed to Cheng surnames.

Zhuan Xu has a son named Wei and another son named Lao Tong. Old boys has two sons, namely Li Zhonghe; Another way of saying this is that Li is the son of Zhuan Xu's great-grandson.
