China is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, in this long history has given birth to countless ancient cultures, the most popular of which is the surname culture, because the surname is not only one of the most ancient cultures, but also closely related to all of us, the original origin of the surname is based on the "Heavenly Dao" surname to totem and ancestor worship after gradually evolving into a symbol of family blood inheritance.
According to census data, there are still more than 5,000 surnames in China, and there are as many as tens of thousands of surnames that have existed in history, and most of these surnames originate from the "Eight Ancient Surnames", which are Ji, Jiang, Jiao, 嬴, 妘, 妫, 姚, 姞.
In particular, it is necessary to mention the two surnames of Ji and Jiang, the surname of Ji is the surname of the Yellow Emperor, and the surname of Jiang is the surname of Emperor Yan. As many as 411 surnames have evolved directly from the Ji surname, and nearly 200 surnames have evolved from the Jiang surname, and the surnames that have evolved from these surnames are innumerable, so we often call ourselves "Yanhuang Descendants".
Among the many surnames that have evolved from the Ji surname, there is one surname that is most worth mentioning, because this surname is the largest surname in the population today, that is, "Wang surname".
According to historical records, The eldest son of King Ling of Zhou, Crown Prince Jin, was deposed as a commoner because of his direct advice, and the shi people were also called "Wang Family" because they were descendants of the royal family.
In the pre-Qin period, this Wang surname has been active in the Luoyang generation in Henan, and by the end of the Qin And early Han Dynasty, wang Yuan and Wang Wei and other famous descendants of the wang surname migrated to Langya in Shandong and Taiyuan in Shanxi in order to avoid war, and eventually formed the Langya Wang clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the surname Wang has become the largest surname in the country, and the only surname that can be compared with the surname Wang is the surname of Li. But we know that the reason why the population of Li is so large is because more than a dozen regimes have been established in history, and there are as many as 60 emperors alone. After the development of the sub-feudal system, the population naturally spread.
However, the surname Wang has never appeared in dryland in history, and the only one closest to the position of emperor is Wang Mang, but after Wang Mang came to power, he implemented some advanced policies, resulting in being overthrown before he finally stood firm, so he could not be regarded as an emperor.
So why can the population of the Wang surname reach such a level? In fact, a very important reason is the development of the family clan, in history, although there is no one who claims the title of emperor, there are many clans, and the people of these clans are not inferior to the princes of all sides. There is a poem that is exactly: "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people" said that the Wang surname as a family family, their status is very high, so they can better develop and prosper.
According to the 2018 census data, the population of Wang surnamed Wang in the mainland has reached 101.5 million people, which is deservedly the largest university in the country and is distributed throughout the country.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the composition of the Wang surname, the three horizontal represent heaven, earth, and man, and the vertical runs through heaven, earth, and people. That is to say, the philosophy that heaven, earth, and man are all under the control of the "king" can be described as quite domineering. I believe that many people will have friends surnamed Wang around them, right?
