Surname culture is a unique culture in china, and everyone has their own surname. Most of the surnames originate from the eight surnames of the ancients, that is, Ji, Jiang, 姒, 嬴, 妘, 妫, 姞, 姚, and another of the ancient eight surnames is Ji, Jiang, 姒, 姚, 嬴, 妫, 妫. Either way, most of the surnames originate from the eight surnames of the ancients.
Historically, people have attached great importance to surnames, and even today, people attach great importance to surnames, which is beyond doubt. It is worth mentioning that the eight surnames of the ancients represent the eight tribes of the ancient period. People know very little about antiquity, and to this day, many things in antiquity have become puzzles.
Surnames are a must-have, and children have a name from birth. Today's names have a lot to do with ancient surnames. In ancient times, "surname" was the title of a man, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, "surname" and "surname" began to merge into one. Then today's names are also ancient surnames.
Whether it is today or in ancient times, people attach great importance to surnames. As the saying goes, "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname." In the earliest days, surnames were signs and symbols used to distinguish a person's family kinship. After the surname appeared, it began to change continuously, with the emergence of single surnames and compound surnames. Today, there are not many compound surnames that people can see.
In the long river of history, many surnames have finally disappeared in the long river of history for various reasons. Nowadays, it seems that most of the surnames originated from the surname Ji, and the history books record that "the Yellow Emperor had twenty-five sons, and fourteen of his surnames." Secondly, there are "twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, fourteen of whom have the surname of Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Zhen, Ren, Xun, 僖, 姞, 儇, Yi is also." However, Qingyang and Yigu share their surnames. ”
Surname culture is undoubtedly very important, but for a long time, surnames have not had a complete historical record. Until the Northern Song Dynasty, there was the first book on surnames in history, which is the familiar "Hundred Family Names", in the "Hundred Family Names", the first person in the list is the Zhao surname, and the emperor at that time was surnamed Zhao.
So the surname Zhao ranks first. In "Hundred Family Names", almost all the surnames that have appeared in history are included, so are there any surnames that are not included in "Hundred Family Names"? There must be, and that's God's name. People are certainly unfamiliar with this surname, and we have never seen it in our daily lives.
After the shennong surname was Shennong, the Shennong clan lost the throne, and the descendants took the god as their clan. The Chronicle of Dantu County says: "The Shennong clan yu lost the throne, and the descendants took the god as their clan." Nowadays, people have hardly seen the descendants of God's surname, and it is undeniable that there are almost very few descendants of God's surname. It's almost gone.
In the long course of history, there has not been a single celebrity in the name of God. During the Han Dynasty, Shen Yao was a knight lieutenant, and during the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the surname of Shen appeared more widely. But the problem is that these people are just people, and they have not been able to become famous in the world. In the history books, there are very few records of God's surnames, and even the names of gods appear very few.
During the Qing Dynasty, the surname of god had disappeared from the official field. Nowadays, it seems that most of the god surnames are in Donggou Village in Jiangsu Province, and in the literature of Donggou Village, the god surname here does not belong to the Shennong clan, but to the Mongol clan, when Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty, and their ancestors fled to Dantu Nanxiang. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed: "All Mongolians and Semu people in the interior will use Han surnames."
It was also at this time that the surname of the Mongol god appeared. They changed their surname to "Shen Taiyi" and claimed to be descendants of the Shennong clan, and now Donggou Village has been breeding for more than 600 years. Then, in many places today, there are still god surnames, but there are very few descendants of this surname. In today's Taiwan, there are only three people with the surname of God.
The descendants of the three gods lived in the Qujiang Mountains, and they did not have a family tree, but they were not ethnic minorities or natives. From this point of view, they also belong to the descendants of Yan Huang, but in their generation, the descendants are already very few. Initially, they migrated from the interior, but in this generation, the number of families was very small.
