What is the relationship between Genji and Fujiwara?

Fujiwara and Genji, together with Shi Ping and Tangju, are called "Genping Tengju", which are the four major Japanese surnames. Fujiwara is the most prominent popular family, while Genji is the most prominent Wu family.

"Yuanping Fujiju" is the surname of big noble in Nara to Heian period. Because in the future, the descendants of these four surnames will survive to this day, because their descendants have developed a variety of surnames in various places, which are more than 90% of the ancestors of most Wu Jia families.

In addition, from the Nara era to the Edo era, most courtier families came from these "four big families".

First, Genji:

Genji is a famous Japanese clan. It is one of the surnames given by the Japanese royal family when it became a vassal. Generally, it is given to the daughter of the emperor who has been demoted as a vassal, and her surname is "detained". Genji was active from Nara to Heian.

Genji was born in Hong Ren for five years (8 14) on May 8th. Because, on this day, due to economic difficulties, Emei, the 52nd emperor, gave four emperors and four imperial daughters the surname Genji for the first time. After that, thirteen princes and eleven royal daughters were given their original surnames. This is the original origin of Genji in Japan.

Since then, twenty-one emperors in Japanese history have given it to Yuan. However, among the twenty first-class Genji, the most outstanding Genji Qinghe was given the Sun Yuan Classic by the 56th Qinghe Emperor. Generally speaking, when talking about Japanese military commanders, Ping Yuan is mentioned, especially Qing Yuan and Huan Wuping. Because they are all Korean heavyweights in Japanese history, they have had a far-reaching impact on the development of Japanese history.

Second, Fujiwara family:

Fujiwara family is one of the prominent families in Japanese history. After the Emperor moved the capital to Ping 'an (Kyoto) in the late 8th century, the Fujiwara family manipulated the Japanese royal family for more than 300 years.

However, the power and prestige of Fujiwara family does not depend on bravery and being good at fighting, but on countless political strategies.

The date of birth of Genji should be May 8th, 5th year of Hong Ren (8 14). Because, on this day, due to economic difficulties, Emei, the 52nd emperor, gave four emperors and four imperial daughters the surname Genji for the first time. After that, thirteen princes and eleven royal daughters were given their original surnames. This is the original origin of Genji in Japan.

Since then, twenty-one emperors in Japanese history have given it to Yuan. However, among the twenty first-class Genji, the most outstanding Genji Qinghe was given the Sun Yuan Classic by the 56th Qinghe Emperor. Generally speaking, when talking about Japanese military commanders, when it comes to Ping, Genji and Genji refer specifically to Genji Qing and Genji Huan Wuping. Because they are all Korean heavyweights in Japanese history, they have had a far-reaching impact on the development of Japanese history.

When Huan Wuping's family mastered the imperial power and owned the whole of kanto region, a series of Genji in Qingchuan, based on Kansai, formed a powerful samurai family and waited for an opportunity.
