Everyone in China knows that there are five thousand years of up and down, and the culture of surnames is also very profound, although it is not as expressed as those poems and articles, but it has played a very important role in inheritance. However, if you look at the hundreds of family names, you will find that there is a surname with only three strokes, but few people can read it. Don't believe you see.
Everyone should know that the hundred family names have been passed down to the previous year, the first began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Northern Song Dynasty developed, of which there were 444 single surnames, 60 compound surnames, of which Zhao Qiansun Li was the first of the hundred family names, mainly at that time the hundred family names developed in the Wuyue region of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty was called Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Wu Kingdom was called Wang Qianli, the concubine was called Sun Shi, and the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, became the top four of the hundred family names.
According to historical records, the origin of the surname is not a place, but the origin of many places, in ancient times there was no surname at the beginning, but at that time, in order to hunt, they took some code names to each other, which was convenient for coordination. After a later period of precipitation, the surname slowly appeared.
In ancient times, the earliest surnames were Ji, Jiang, 姒, 嬴, 妘, 妫, 姚, 姞. Because it was a matriarchal society at that time, but then the male line dominated, and it evolved into various surnames. For example, the Xiang surname that we are familiar with, in the Spring and Autumn Period, because the prince of the State of Chu was enfeoffed with Xiangcheng, and later established the Xiang State, and later the Xiang State was destroyed by the State of Qi, and the people of the Xiang State changed their surname to Xiang in order to commemorate it. After the fall of the Cao Wei regime, in order to avoid Sima Sima's killing, the descendants changed their surname to Cao.
And in Chinese history there is a surname with only three strokes, but few people will read it, this surname is the surname Of, this surname is now almost non-existent, if you meet, then he must not be an ordinary person, because this surname is a code name of a tribe surnamed Jiang in the Western Han Dynasty. Although there are still relatively few Yan, but the historical record, the descendants of the Yan surname is actually the current Jiang surname, most of them live in Shaanxi, and Yan is getting less and less, because many surnames are relatively few, plus it is not easy to read, so many people also choose to change their surnames. But what does Xiaobian think your surname is, this is or don't change it, after all, this is a kind of inheritance, you see?
