Those whose surnames are subordinate to their ancestors; those whose clans are divided by their descendants; "those whose surnames are also marked by the symbols of family blood."
Many surnames in China have a long history, such as the Lin surname, which is derived from the Bigan during the Shang Dynasty. Bigan was a famous minister of the generation and was also the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, but unfortunately met the faint-hearted King of Shang and was eventually dug to death.
However, Bikan also had descendants, and after Bikan's death, his wife fled to the Changlin Stone Room, where his wife gave birth to a child named Jian.
King Wu of Zhou gave Jian the surname of "Lin", and this child was also called Lin Jian, and Lin Jian became the ancestor of the Lin surname. The surname Lin is a large chinese surname, and in places like Fujian, Guangdong, chen and lin account for the majority of the population. The Surname Lin has the meaning of luxuriant, and the talents of ancient times were also called Dong liang, and The Dong Liang came from the jungle.
Therefore, the meaning of the Lin surname is still relatively good, and some surnames in history sound more awkward, and these awkward surnames have always been relatively rare. One of the rarest surnames is the surname "Maple", which is the "Maple" of the Maple tree.
But in China, the word "crazy" for mental disorder "madness" is also homophonous with this word. And the use of "crazy" is also relatively common, so few people will use such a surname. In fact, this surname is not included in the hundred family names, which means that this surname has not appeared for a long time, and the number of people will not be very large.
This is exactly the case, and there are only 17 people with the surname "Feng" in the country today. Because of the large population in our country, there are tens of thousands or even millions of people with any small surname. One of the 17 people's surname is definitely a panda surname.
Panda surnames like the "Maple" surname mostly have the same characteristics as it. For example, the "poisonous" surname, this surname is also not found in the hundred family names, because "too poisonous", and "Feng", in Taiwan's Xinhua Town, Nanhua Township two places each have a family with this surname, the total number is even less than the "Feng" surname.
The surname "Feng" is not recorded in ancient books, so how did this surname appear? In ancient times, a new surname appeared, either according to an official position such as "Sima "Sima ". Either according to the natural landscape "mountains, rivers, rivers, rivers" can become surnames.
Some are changed from the compound surname, such as Ma Ya because it is pronounced with, so it finally becomes the surname of Ma. So how did the "Maple" surname come about? There is actually no special reason for this surname, and it is very similar to the appearance of the surname "Pu".
The pu surname appeared because of the lush grass growing in the home of Shi Puhong in Jizhou, and the place where the grass grew was regarded as an auspicious place. Therefore, the family used the Pu surname, because this surname is more auspicious, and the use of people is not very small.
The surname "Feng" is said to be found only in one village in Guanqiao, Anxi County, Fujian Province. Before this, there was no such surname, but later the family grew a maple tree in the yard for hundreds of years. A hundred-year-old tree is relatively rare, and a hundred-year-old tree is even rarer.
Because it was rare, it was considered to be a sign of good fortune, so the family later changed their surname to "Feng". However, this matter, only the people in the village know, has no impact in history, so there is no record in the ancient books. However, the maple leaves are red in the autumn, which also symbolizes the meaning of good fortune, which is presumably the reason why the family changed their surnames in the first place.
