As we all know, the eight surnames of the Manchus in the past history come from the grassy land, that is, the shepherd people in the eyes of our Han people. But when the Manchu emperors of the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the value of these people rose, and their surnames became a status symbol.
Although this nobility is limited to the families that entered the qing government court as officials, and to this day, these once noble families have long been changed to Han surnames, but it does not affect us to explore the ins and outs of these eight surnames.
Tong - Tong Jiashi
The Tong Jia clan is a nation with a place name, and its ancestors should be the Jurchen Jiawen surname, which is recorded in the "Dragon Fly Royal Heavenly Song": there is a surname of Jiawen in the Jurchen. The Jiawen surname is also translated as Jiagu, that is to say, the Jiawen surname and the Jiagu surname are the same sect. Why is Tong Jia translated as Tong surname?
In the "History of Jin", it is noted like this: Sandwich Valley Yue Tong. In Chinese characters, Tong is homophonous with Tong and Tong, so it is natural to change the surname of Tong. According to records, the Tong surname has been used many times by Nurhaci, such as Ylang Bean Man Sandwich Wen Meng Brother Timur, Tong Shouting Field, Tong Nur Hachi and so on. Today, there are many Tong celebrities, and the actor Tong Dawei is a descendant of the Manchu Tong Jia clan.
Guan - Guarjia
Translated into Chinese, Guarjia actually means residence, and this surname has been used from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. However, by the middle of the Qing Dynasty, some of the Guarjia clan members changed their surname to Guan. The Guarjia clan of the Qing Dynasty was a huge family with a very large population and a special number of officials.
For example, the famous auxiliary chancellor Fei Yingdong was a member of the Guarjia clan, and he first led five hundred members of the Guarjia clan to submit to Nurhaci and became a powerful minister in the early Qing Dynasty. Together with Ao bai in the Kangxi period, he was also a member of the Guarjia clan. And today's star Guan Zhilin is from the Guarjia clan.
Ma - Ma Jiashi
The Ma Jia clan is also a family with a place name, mainly distributed in the area of today's Heilongjiang and Mudanjiang, because this is the birthplace of the Ma Jia clan. In the "Genealogy of Ma Jia", it is recorded that my Ma Jia clan originated from the Manchu Ma Jia area, shiju Jia Liku City; and Ma Jia was in the Heilongjiang area.
However, the MaJia clan was surnamed Pei Man during the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, and was surnamed Fei Mo at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and was surnamed Ma Jia until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and only after the middle of the Qing Dynasty did it begin to change to the Ma surname. At that time, the Qing Dynasty's university scholar Tu Hai was Ma Jia's family, and today's star figure, Ma Jingtao, is said to be from The Ma Jia clan.
Suo (曹) – Suo Qiluoshi
The Suo Qiluo clan is undoubtedly also from the place name, and it is said in the "General Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners": The Suo Qiluo clan, the original place name, because it is considered a clan, its clan is scattered in Huifa and various places. And in the "Imperial Dynasty Tongzhi Clan Luo Manchuria Eight Banners Surname", it is also said that its clan takes the land as its clan, and the shiju Huifa, Yehe, Neyin, Wula and other places.
The reason why the Sokvil was changed to the Suo surname was because so used characters for polysyllabics. However, not all of the Suo qiluo clans are surnamed Suo, and there are those with the surname Cao, which mainly depends on the decision of the family to take the pronunciation at that time, and has no special significance. As for celebrities, Jing Xing during the Guangxu period was a member of the Suo clan, but it seems that there are few modern star figures with the surname Suo.
Hers (Kang, Zhang) – Herschel
Herschel is a surname with the name of the river. This is not surprising, since the Hersheli clan lived at the confluence of the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River, and their feelings for the river were equivalent to their feelings for the land. The significance of this surname for the Qing Dynasty was profound, and the famous auxiliary chancellor Sonny was none other than The Hesheli, and his granddaughter, the empress of the Kangxi Emperor, was the Herschel clan.
The original surname records of the Hersheli clan can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, when they were surnamed Gao. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Hesheli surname began to be used, and until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it was very much valued by the Manchus. In the late Qing Dynasty, its people began to change to the surname of He, and some changed to the surname of Kang and zhang. The representative of the star world is the director Yingda.
Fu - Fucha clan
The Fucha clan is a very old surname of the Jurchen clan, and its branches are too numerous to say. In fact, even today, the rich surname is still a big surname, which shows how strong the Fucha clan was in those days.
The Fucha clan is also a clan that calls itself a surname by place name, and its people lived in Shaji, Yehe... Changbai Mountain and other places. However, the earliest Fucha clan was called "Pucha", which was gradually changed to Fucha in the later use of the common character. Fu Cha Fu Heng in the TV series is the representative of Fu Cha Clan, and the modern film and television actor Fu Dalong is the descendant of Fu Cha Clan.
That--Narasimha
The Nara clan is also a surname named after the river, but the population of this surname is relatively scattered, such as Yehe, Ula, Hada, Huifa and other places have members of the Nala clan. That is to say, although they are all surnamed Nala, they do not belong to the same family: "Although they are one surname, they are each a clan."
In the "Nala Clan Genealogy Book", there is such a record: The ancestors of the Huifa Department were originally nimachadi people of the Woji Department on the east coast of Heilongjiang... Seven cattle were slaughtered to sacrifice to heaven, and the surname was changed to Nara. That is to say, their original ancestors were not surnamed Nala, and they were self-reformed for the day after tomorrow. The famous Naranjande in the literary world is a member of the Nara clan, and the modern star figure Na Ying is also a Member of the Nara Clan.
Lang (Button) - Niu Hulu clan
The Niuhulu clan, an ancient Manchu surname, has its origins mainly in the Songhua River, Mudanjiang, and Changbai Mountain. But this surname translated as Lang has always been like this, as early as the Jin Dynasty, there are not many changes in the middle. As for the button surname, there are not many, but it is the same branch.
During the Qianlong period, the chancellor he Yan was a member of the Niuhulu clan, and during the Qing Dynasty, especially in the early and middle periods, this surname was extremely honorable, and it can be seen from the records that Qianlong's birth mother was the Niuhulu clan. As for modern celebrities, Lang Lang, the prince of the piano in the music world, is also a descendant of the Niu Hulu clan.
