The original meaning of a hundred surnames (3)

Feng is customarily called "Feng". "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "Feng, Ma is also sick. From the horse, snoring. " Oh, it's the word "ice". The original meaning should be the sound of horses stepping on hard ice. Then it turned into a gallop. Feng Fengran, a sick horse, refers to the rapid hoofbeat of running horses, which is a bit like the sound of stepping on ice. These two meanings are no longer used in modern Chinese.

Feng Feng, who used Yi Feng in ancient books, was later written according to (Jing). There is a word "Fenghe", which Xu Shen thinks should be the word "Suihe" under the guise, and it is generally written by Yi.

In this way, Feng is almost still a surname, its original meaning has basically disappeared, and only clues can be found in ancient books.

Chen is the traditional "Chen". "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "Wan Qiu also." It means that this place in Chen is Wanqiu. Later, Wan Qiu was actually pointed out. In fact, all the places with high sides and low centers are called bowls.

Chen's word "from the hill, from the wood," means that there are hills and many trees in the autumn. Shuowen also mentioned Chen's old saying "Shen Yisheng". Perhaps this is the original meaning of Dignā ga's sentence: the sacred mountain.

The word "Chen" often mentioned now should be written as "Yu" and "". Judging from the word "Cynthia", these two words are homonyms and are often borrowed. Later, the word ""was abandoned and the word "Chen" was always used.

Chen's ancestor is Gui Man, but he is a descendant of Gui Man. Because of his father's assistance, he was sealed in this place of Chen, with the capital in Wanqiu. After the civil strife in the state of Chen, the 10th Sun Gui fled the State of Qi and changed his surname to Chen.

Chu's words come from clothes and voices, which is easy to explain, that is, people in military uniforms. The original meaning of Chu should refer to clothes (uniforms) with special signs or people wearing these uniforms, and clothes are likely to be ochre. The latter means the word "pawn" of the team. "Shuowen pawn": "Li people take clothes servants as pawns. A pawn has a title. " Here is the meaning of borrowing, which is just right for the word "Chu" The original meaning of pawn is termination and death. Homophonic with the word Chu, it was abandoned by Chu after being used as a pawn.

The meaning of the word Chu also changed, and later it became "clothes with silk floss", which is different from the word "storage". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Shi was established in Song, Zheng and Wei countries, whose responsibility should be to manage the sale and storage of military uniforms. Later, some people took Chu Shi as the compound surname, and then omitted the teacher with only one Chu word, which is also one of the sources of Chu surname.

But in modern Chinese, the word Chu is rarely used except for surnames.

Wei is a common word, which is traditionally "Wei". Said: "Wei, Su Wei also. From Wei, from Lu, from the line. Ok, Li Wei also. " Wei is the original word of Wei and Xun is the original word of Zhuan. It means yes, it is a row of guards; Wei is a leader in a circle. There are many meanings derived from this aspect, among which the doorman's doorman and the doorman's doorman have been used until now.

Zhou Wei died in Qin, and later generations took the country as their surname. According to legend, Xia You and Shun's descendants perished in Shang Dynasty, and later generations also took the country as their surname. However, Wei generally respects Secretary Wei Kang as the ancestor of surname.
