In the history of our country, the Hu surname and the Chen surname are indeed of the same origin, these two surnames are derived from Chen Hugong, also known as Chen Man, Chen Hu Gongman, Hu Gongman, Yu Man, etc., is one of the five emperors Yu Shun's thirty-third generation grandson, the founding monarch of the Chen State.
Chen Hugong, also known as Hu Gongman
Many people are very confused, why does Chen Hugong have so many titles? To understand this problem, we must find out that the surname of our country is exquisite. First of all, we know that Chen Hugong, concubine surname, name Manchu, here Chen, is the fiefdom of the country, Hu, representing the place of birth in Huxiang, Hu Gong is the name of the person (refers to the person after death, the descendants according to their life deeds after the evaluation of the words of praise or derogatory evaluation). But what does this Yu mean? Yu was the surname of Shang Jun, the son of Emperor Shun (姚重華), and the Surname Yu was separated from the surname of Yao (妫).
Emperor Shun
Emperor Shun (姚重華) was initially recognized by Tang Yao and established the Yu Dynasty; Emperor Shun gave the throne to Dayu in his old age, and Dayu in turn sealed Emperor Shun's son Shang in Shang and established the State of Yu, and Yu's son Qi, after establishing the Xia Dynasty, became a fief of the Xia Dynasty, and his descendants also had the surname of Yu; when the State of Yu was established, he lost the fiefdom and sometimes continued to be enfeoffed, and the kings of the State of Yu had Yu Si and Yu Sui, all of whom were the ancestors of Yu Man. In the last year of the Shang Dynasty, Yu Man's father, Yu Fu's father Yu Fu (虞阏父), defected to the Zhou tribe and took the position of Tao Zheng. Because of his exquisite pottery-making skills, Yu Fu's father was valued by the monarchs of king Wen of Zhou and king Wu of Zhou. Yu Man can be said to be the second generation of officials, and with this relationship, Yu Man was sealed to Chen Di and took Chen as the national name, and chen Manyi was said to be there. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Chen Hu (national surname + place of birth + knighthood).
King Wu of Zhou destroyed the shang
In 1046 BC, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, in order to show the inheritance of Chinese orthodoxy, he found the descendants of the previous emperors, that is, Yu Man of the Shun Emperor of the Yu Dynasty, and also married his eldest daughter Tai Ji to him, becoming the son-in-law of King Wu of Zhou, and was named The Marquis of Chen in Chen Zhi Zhuye, and later moved the capital to Chen Zhiwanqiu, the state name Chen, Chen Guo, after Yu Man's death, the courtesy name was Chen Hu Gong, so it was also known as Hu Gongman. His descendants have the surname of Guo, that is, the Chen clan, and there are also those who take their nickname as their surname, called Hu. Both Chen Hugong and Hu Gongman were revered by the Chen and Hu descendants as their respective ancestors.
