The Origin of China's Surname

Starting from the surname of Zi, from the Spring and Autumn Period, the descendants of Song Dynasty were named Hua Yi, named after the feudal city. A Fahrenheit originated from his son's surname, and there are more specific materials that can be verified. It is recorded in the history book "Records of Words and Actions of Famous Nationalities": "Dai Song Gongsun Du, whose name is Huafu, Xiangsonggong, because of self-reliance, Fahrenheit, Hua Du, Huayuan, Hua Ding, Huahai and Song Qing."

This Fahrenheit is named after a Chinese character. They are prominent families of the Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their descendants are all ministers of the Song State. Song was presented by Zhou Wuwang to Wei, Shang Zhouwang's younger brother, as a sacrifice to Tang. Shang Tang is his son's surname, and both his father and Du Hua are descendants of Shang Dynasty, so Fahrenheit naturally comes from his son's surname.

The second origin

Originated from the Yi surname, from Zhongkang in Xia Dynasty, and Huashan in Xiyue, belonging to Juyi surname. The ancestors of Si surname and Zi surname are of the same ancestry, that is, Zhuan Xu Di Levin's family more than 4,400 years ago. The child surname was established by Qi, the son of Zhuan Xu, and the surname was established by the descendants of Zhuan Xu's grandson.

According to research, Fahrenheit's ancestors can be traced back to Xuanyuan of Huangdi, because Zhuan Xu is the grandson of Huangdi. Fahrenheit, which originated from the surname of Si, appeared as early as 4 100 years ago, the fourth emperor of Xia Dynasty, Zhong Kang. This is recorded in Historical Records: "Xia Feng was named Fahrenheit in Xiyue".

Xiyue refers to Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, so the descendants of Zhong Kang took "Hua" as their surname from now on. However, some scholars are obviously skeptical, because they are not sure whether Huashan had the title of "Xiyue" at that time, so they think that there is the name of Fahrenheit first, and then the name of Huashan.

The third origin

Originated from the surname Ji, the monarch of the State of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period was named after his ancestors. According to the history book "Biography of the Spring and Autumn Ram", "In the summer of the seventh year, Zheng killed his doctor Shen Hou. What's the name of killing a country? He also said that Confucius killed people and you killed doctors. In autumn and July, Qi Hou, Song Gong, Chen Shizi, Zheng Shizi Hua and other guilds formed an alliance in Ningwu. "

Zheng's second son, Jie, was in the 25th year of King Hui of Zhou (652 BC) on the lunar calendar of 65438+ 10 month. On behalf of Zheng, he joined Zhou Wang, Song Huan, Wei Wen, Baron Xu, Cao Ban, Chen Shizi Kuan and other vassal envoys in Tao Tao. This alliance consolidated Qi Huangong's hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.
