China is the world's earliest birth of surname culture of the country, the ancient sage Fuxi, in the ancient times of the marriage rules for people at the same time, but also for people to develop the rules of surname inheritance, "surname, unified its ancestral examination of the place of their own; the clan, do not distinguish from the descendants of their own", and later with the development of society, surname and surname gradually evolved into one, there is no difference.
By the Time of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were "Hundred Family Names" that taught people to understand surnames, and 411 surnames were recorded in the earliest "Hundred Family Names", and later added to 504, which was Chinese enlightenment reading for a long time. Most Chinese people are gradually aware of other surnames precisely because they have read "Hundred Family Names", but there are also some surnames that are not included in "Hundred Family Names".
In particular, these three ancient surnames, although they have been circulating in China for thousands of years, were born when they were born, and there were only some monkeys on the Japanese islands, but people with these three surnames are often mistaken for Japanese.
The first end of the wooden surname
The reason why the Duanmu surname is easy to be mistaken for Japanese is related to an anti-Japanese drama many years ago, in which the traitor nodded and said: "Duanmu Jun..." But in fact, the Duanmu surname is a very old surname in China, which was born as early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Confucius's famous disciple was also the son of a rich man, and his original life was Duanmu.
However, later, many clansmen changed their surnames to surnames such as broken surnames, wooden surnames and Mu surnames for the sake of simplicity, and the more famous ones were Mu Ying who guarded Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty, and the original surname was Duanmu, which also led to the fact that the Duanmu surname is now rare in China.
The second Higashino surname
However, due to the emergence of a famous mystery novel writer named "Keigo Higashino" among the Japanese, many people subconsciously think that the Higashino surname is the surname of the Japanese, in fact, the Japanese Higashino surname was born after the Meiji Restoration, when the Meiji Emperor at that time in order to facilitate the rule, so all the people in the country must have their own surname, so a group of people living in the east of the wilderness will take Higashino as the surname, the history is much shorter than the Chinese Higashino surname.
The third Shinigaki surname
The surname Xinyuan originated in the ancient period and gradually developed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and by the Western Han Dynasty, there were also famous people such as Xinyuanping, who were recorded by Sima Qian in the "Records of History". Because the Japanese actor Niigaki Yui is more famous, so there are many people who think that the New Gaku surname is a Japanese surname, but in fact, it is not the case, Japan's Niigaki surname is all from the Okinawa region, and there is ancient China's Ryukyu, can be regarded as the New Gaku surname from ancient China to Japan and preserved.
The Duanmu surname, The Higashino surname and the Niigaki surname are all ancient surnames that have been circulating in China for thousands of years, but nowadays they are easily mistaken for Japanese, and the biggest reason is obviously because there are some celebrities with the surnames Higashino and Niigaki among the Japanese, so that people have this misunderstanding. What do you think about that?
