In our country, the surname can be said to be one of the most important cultures, since the Xia Shang Zhou, the surname and the surname have been separated, for example, Qin Shi Huang, you can call him Yingzheng, you can also call him Zhao Zheng, because Qin Shi Huang is the surname Zhao. Another example is Shang Martingale, you can also call him Gongsun Martingale and Ji Martingale and Wei Martingale, he is the Ji surname Gongsun clan, Wei Guoren, the fief is in Shangdi.
It can be seen that the surname culture of the ancients is relatively complex, and today, the surname is much simpler, many people only know their surname, and for the surname, they do not know much. In this way, today's people take names is relatively simple, but there are some surnames, even in today's simplified, it is very difficult to get a good name, because their surnames are not only rare, but also the direct meaning expressed is not too good.
Today, I will take stock of the five most difficult surnames in China for friends.
First surname: Ghost surname
This surname is actually a very old surname, from the Yandi period, a branch of the Yandi ghost clan appeared, and there was also a medical scientist named Onizu District. Later, they took this clan as a surname and took it as a ghost, and the interpretation of this surname at that time was the interpretation of ghosts, believing that it was the human soul and had a sacred side.
In addition to this branch from Emperor Yan, in the Shang zhou period, there was a ghost fang clan of Xi Rong, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was also a state established by the Yan clan around the Jin state, and then the word 媿 was simplified, and it became a ghost character. When a ghost is used as a surname, it should actually be pronounced as kui or pseudo, rather than pronounced as the pronunciation of the ghost of the ghost. But this surname is more in contrast to the traditional Chinese culture, because the ancients were very taboo about ghosts and gods and the like, and the words can not be mentioned without mentioning.
However, when the ghost is used as a surname, it is inevitable to use it widely, so it is really difficult to use the ghost as a surname and take a good name for posterity.
Second surname: Fat Sex
This second surname fat, unlike the ghost surname, has a certain connection with ghosts, and the origin of this fatness is actually very tragic. Among the hundred family names, fat appeared very late, this is a surname that appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty, taken as fat, because at that time the Ming Dynasty was in danger, there were Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Manchu Qing and other three major rebel regimes besieged it, and finally the Ming Dynasty only had half of the country left, known as the Southern Ming Regime.
When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, for the children of the imperial zhu surname, it was a state-style offering, which also led to more and more zhu children, when there was still half of the Ming Dynasty, there was a Zhu clan disciple, very sad and indignant, looking at this half of the country, the Zhu surname was changed to a fat surname, the meaning is that Daming is only half left, and the descendants must restore Daming, so they take the fat nature to always remind future generations.
However, fat, as a word to describe posture, is used as a surname, and it seems that adding any name will seem a little weird.
The third surname: dead surname
In the eyes of the ancients, death is a word that is forbidden as much as possible, even if someone dies, it will be replaced by words such as death, death, leaving the human world, etc. The king will use death to avoid this dead word, for the alternative word of death, there are now more than a hundred, which is enough to prove that the ancients were more than afraid of the word death.
However, when this word is inevitably avoided and becomes a surname, it will inevitably become an almost strange situation in the eyes of others, and in fact, the dead surname does exist. The dead surname is a surname of the Xianbei tribe during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and later after the development of Sinicization, the dead surname has also changed, and many people think that the dead surname is not good after learning about the Han culture, so they changed it to the consonant surname such as si surname.
However, there are also some descendants of the dead surname, who think that the ancestral surname cannot be changed, and still insist on using the dead surname, but don't say that the name is taken, that is, the surname itself, which may make many people daunted.
The fourth surname: corpse surname
The word of this surname is also a taboo word in the eyes of the ancients that is almost equivalent to death, and many words are used instead of corpse words. However, the corpse surname is indeed a relatively old surname, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a branch of the Eastern Zhou royal family moved to a place called corpse township, and posterity also used the name of this township as their surname, and then this surname gradually developed and grew.
However, this surname, taking the name is indeed not easy to take, the key is that the word of this surname, in more than two thousand years of history and cultural accumulation, it may be difficult to have a good feeling for the corpse.
The fifth surname: Gou surname
Therefore, the current Gou surname still has hundreds of thousands of people, but this surname is somewhat embarrassing, although it is read enough when used as a surname, but many people still think that this word is harmonious with the dog, therefore, some descendants of the Gou surname feel very difficult to take when taking the name, and even began to dislike this surname, so there are Gou surname descendants who want to change their surname, afraid of causing embarrassment.
