Whenever a newborn arrives in each household, the first priority is to take the name. Some are arranged according to the family tree, some even invite fortune tellers to count a name, since the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Hundred Family Names" contains 411 surnames, and then added to 568, some of which make parents afraid, embarrassing women, and even say that word You may be beaten, what is the surname?
The first is the "dead" surname that scares all parents. What parent would like their child to be born "dead"? The surname "death" originates from the Xianbei tribe, from the Xianbei Tuoba tribe during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and belongs to the clan name Sinicized. However, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were rejected by the tribesmen as indecent, and as the tribesmen integrated into the Han nationality and changed their surnames, the population began to decrease, and it was only distributed in northwest China, and now the population is very sparse.
The second, the embarrassing "testicle" surname of the woman. Even today, when we are relatively open-minded, I believe that girls will not say this surname casually. The surname "Testicle", a rare Chinese surname, originated from Gao Tao, a figure in ancient Chinese legends. In the "Biography of the Daughters of Lie", it is said: "The testicle is five years old and praises Yu Yan", because the ancient "Gao" character is the same as the "testicle", so the surname after Gao Tao is testicle.
It is conceivable that the women in his descendants felt particularly embarrassed about this, and later, the man was unwilling to use this surname, and silently changed his surname. Nowadays, Rong County, Guangxi, Xi'an, Shaanxi and other places have this surname.
The third one, now say it out of the surname that may be beaten. Consulting the Twenty-Four Histories, the earliest historical figure with the surname Cao in the history books is called Cao Shi Qi, who was the leader of the peasant revolt at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Now the most common claim is from the Cao Cao family, when Sima Yan ascended the throne as emperor, he was worried about being retaliated against by the living Cao family, and they were killed, and some lucky descendants of the Cao family hid and changed their surname to "Cao".
According to statistics, there are about 120,000 residents with the surname Cao in the country, and Wuhu and Anqing in Anhui Province are areas with a relatively concentrated distribution of the Surname Cao. Compared with several other surnames, the number of people with the surname is relatively large.
Nowadays, many post-90s parents, in the new era, they take names, no longer stick to 2 or 3 words, have pursued 4 words, and they are unique and elegant. Martial arts fans take names according to Jin Yong and Gu Long novels, such as Wang Yuyan and Gu Su Murong; those who love poetry and song are taken according to ancient poems, such as Mei Linghan.
But no matter what, the name contains the love of parents and family members for you, and I hope that every child can grow up healthily. Have you ever encountered these unique last names and first names? Let's share it with you!
