About the origin of the Qi surname and the migration of the family (the Jinan lineage is the best)

Origin of the surname Qí (Qí) has a simple origin. It comes from one source:

It comes from the compound surname Jiguan, and was changed from the surname Jiguan. According to "Looking for the Origin of Surnames": "Qi is the same as the hairpin, and he comes after the official hairpin." Qi, the ancient word for "Qi", is also pronounced as "专 (the ancient pronunciation is Qí Qi, the modern pronunciation is Jī Ji)". Jiguan, that is, Qiguan, was originally an official name. He was an official in charge of the hairpin ceremony in ancient times (at that time, hairpin was the same as Qi). The hairpin ceremony was a ceremony in which hairpins were inserted into the hair of a boy when he reached fifteen years old, as a symbol of the official transition from boyhood to adulthood. Therefore, the ancients attached great importance to this ceremony and official position. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every vassal state had this official position. The surname Ji was created by the descendants of such officials to commemorate their ancestors, and was called the Jiguan surname. Later, during the surname change movement after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in the early Ming Dynasty, the compound surname "Jiguan" was changed to the single surname "Qi". The wife Confucius married when he was nineteen years old was a descendant of the Jiguan family. Therefore, the Qi family and the Jiguan family have the same origin and the same surname.

The ancestor who got the surname: official Ji (丿, Qi). During the Spring and Autumn Period, every vassal state had the official position of hairpin official, so there was more than one ancestor of the Qiguan family. Jiguan's compound surname later evolved into the single surname Qi in the early Ming Dynasty.

A book called "The Origin of Surnames" said: "Qi and (丬) hairpin are the same, after the official hairpin." At that time, young people who turned fifteen years old had to undergo a coming-of-age ceremony, and put hair on their hair. Insert hairpin. The surname Jiguan was formed by the descendants of Jiguan who took official positions as their surname. Later, the official surname Ji evolved into the single surname Qi during the surname change movement after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in the early Ming Dynasty. Regarding the history of the Qi surname, there was a stele in the ancestral grave of the Qi family in Beiligou, Laiwu City, Shandong Province. It records: In the second year of Hongwu, he moved from Linyi to Laiyi, established his own surname, and established his own family. This may be the origin of the single surname Qi. At present, most people with the surname Qi in the country are from Laiwu, Shandong. There is also an epitaph of the Qi family in Yangzhuang, Laiwu, Shandong, which reads: The founder of the family, Shibo, fled the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He and his son Shineng moved from the Jianghuai River to Yangzhuang, Laiwu, Shandong and settled there.
