Surname qí

According to the "Origin of Surnames", "Qi and Zhen are the same, after the official". 亓, the ancient word "its", is also known as "丌". 丌官, i.e. 亓官, was originally an official name, an ancient official who was in charge of ceremonies. The ceremony is an ancient ceremony in which a woman inserts a fence in her hair from the age of fifteen as a symbol of the official transition from adolescence to adulthood. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each princely state had this official position. The surname of 丌官 is the descendant of this kind of official who appeared in honor of his ancestors, called the 丌官氏. Later, in the change of surname movement after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in the early Ming Dynasty, the surname of "丌官" was changed to a single surname of "Qi". The lady Confucius married when he was nineteen years old was a descendant of the Qiguan clan. Therefore, the origin of the Qi clan and the Qiguan clan is the same, and the source of the surname is the same.
