Their surnames in our country are counted from the literature of about five thousand, some of which are unheard of by ordinary people, which is due to the long history of the Chinese nation, in the process of development will be integrated with other countries to a certain extent, most of them still follow the original surnames of China, of course, there will be some foreigners to create some new surnames, and today the so-called surname belongs to the former situation,
This surname is "An".
Although this surname existed as early as the Qin Dynasty period of more than 2,000 young people,
But now the descendants of the "An surname" may also be descendants of Iranians,
What's going on here?
Branch of the Ann surname
Speaking of the origin of the An surname, one of the lines is the original surname in China, and An Qisheng of the Qin Dynasty is a representative figure in it - An Qisheng.
This person was the founder of Fang Xian Dao, and he had a great influence in the hearts of various local scholars at that time, and even Qin Shi Huang, who pursued immortality, attached great importance to him.
There is also a lineage that is not the true yanhuang descendants, but their descendants in a country called the Sabbath In Western Asia.
During the period of Emperor Wu of Han, the Xiongnu tribes blocked the connection between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, so Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty sent the great general Huo Zhiyi to lead a large army to attack the Xiongnu, and won a great victory, the Silk Road was opened, and the countries in the Western Regions, which were originally controlled by the Xiongnu, had a total of about fifty large and small countries in the Western Regions.
After the smooth passage of the Silk Road, it brought mutual benefits to all countries and the Central Plains Han Dynasty, especially the trade between the two sides, and it was at this time that China and the slave countries in the Iranian region in West Asia had contacts and exchanges.
Later, there was a prince in the Sabbath Country who liked Buddhist culture and was determined to become a high monk of pudu sentient beings, so he gave the throne to his uncle and became a monk.
Later, the prince monk came to Luoyang, China, to teach and exchange, and settled down.
Not only him, but also the attendants and others who came to China with him also stayed, and since then they have integrated into the society of the Central Plains, and future generations have also lived in China for generations.
And their surnames uniformly use the word "An" in the sabbath country.
Now that we have found that there are some people who have the prince and the monk Anqing as their ancestors, then it is obvious that those people are the descendants of the Iranians.
In addition to the above two veins, there is also a special case that is to change the surname. Among them, An Lushan is the most famous.
Speaking of An Lushan, everyone should know that it was he who launched the An Shi Rebellion.
An Lushan was a Sogdian, so he did not have a surname, but he later recognized a stepfather and followed his stepfather's surname Kang.
Then the stepfather later changed his surname to An, and An Lushan also changed his surname to An.
The name Lushan means light in the Sogdian language, which shows that An Lushan's family situation is not good, otherwise his parents would not have given him such a symbolic name.
Later, An Lushan launched the "Anshi Rebellion", although it failed, but it was multiplied and passed down by future generations.
Up to now, no matter what the surname is, no matter what the historical roots of the surname are,
Everyone is a member of the Chinese nation
We should all unite to build a better and stronger country.
