Why is Zhoukou at the forefront? Relevant experts answer questions and answer questions
So, as a traditional agricultural city, why is Zhoukou in the forefront? In this regard, the Big River Newspaper? Yu Video reporters also interviewed relevant experts.
As the only professional hospital in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in Zhoukou City, the number of newborn births in Zhoukou Maternity Hospital in 2021 has increased a lot compared with 2020. "The reason for the increase, and the number of newborn births in Zhoukou City ranking high in the country, I think there are two reasons." The relevant person in charge of Zhoukou Maternity Hospital said that first of all, Zhoukou City is a city with a large population and a large population base. According to the data of the seventh national census, the permanent population of Zhoukou City is 9.026 million, ranking third in the population of Henan Province. Secondly, it also has a lot to do with the liberalization of the two-child and three-child policies. "Among the women hospitalized in our hospital, many are pregnant mothers with second and third children, and there are post-80s and post-90s." The person in charge said.
During the interview, the reporter also contacted Mr. Guo, a citizen of Zhoukou City, who planned to have three children. According to reports, Mr. and Mrs. Guo are both middle school teachers and are post-85 couples. When their second child was not released a few years ago, they had two children in their first child, a pair of twin daughters. Just when Mr. and Mrs. Guo had some regrets because they were not "dragon and phoenix fetuses", they were encountering the opening of the second child. As a result, the couple actively prepared for pregnancy and had a second child, and the result was that the second child was still a daughter. "In fact, boys and girls are the same, and we didn't say that we particularly insisted on boys." Mr. Guo said that when he and his wife were planning to no longer have children, the state opened up the three-child policy.
"We were particularly happy that this was an opportunity and that the plan we had given up was picked up." Mr. Guo said that now, he and his wife have started another pregnancy preparation. "I hope to have a son this time, but if I am still a daughter, it is also very good, the family has 4 golden flowers, and I am blessed when I am old." Mr. Guo said happily.
In the interview, many couples after the 80s and 90s expressed their desire to have a second and third child. Everyone generally reflected that if the economic conditions permit and the objective conditions are ripe, having more children can bring a lot of happiness. "Although it is very hard to take care of children, it is also a very beautiful thing to be able to enjoy the joy of life when you are old." Many young couples said.
Zhoukou is the birthplace of surname culture and the root of all surnames
According to a report released by the Household Administration Research Center of the Ministry of Public Security, common forms are widely distributed in the mainland. But in fact, from the perspective of the roots of surname culture, Zhoukou in Henan is the birthplace of surname culture.

Liu Qitao is an associate professor at Zhoukou Normal University and an expert in zhoukou regional culture research. Liu Qitao said that about 7,000 years ago, the Fuxi tribe descended along the Yellow River and set the capital in Wanqiu (present-day Huaiyang, Zhoukou), and made a surname and marriage, opening a new chapter in Chinese civilization. As a result, people began to have clear surnames, and the earliest surnames in China were born here.
Liu Qitao said that throughout the long history and historical records, there are more than 100 surnames that directly originated in Zhoukou or historical counties in Zhoukou. Among them, the surname of Li, with a population of about 100 million people, was li er (Laozi), the ancestor of which was a Zhoukou Luyi person. The southern surname "Chen", which has a population of about 60 million, originated in Huaiyang, Zhoukou. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chen Guo's descendants changed their surname to "Tian" for refuge and established the Tian Qi regime. Later, the Tian Qi regime divided the surnames of Wang, Sun, Lu, Yao, and Xue. "Therefore, Zhoukou is the well-deserved birthplace of surname culture and the root of all surnames." Liu Qitao said.
"Our research found that in the past many surnames had genealogies, but now the concept seems to be somewhat diluted. There are very young generations, especially post-90s and post-00s, who do not know much about the origin of genealogy and surname culture. Moreover, we have also noticed a new phenomenon that the naming of newborns has broken the traditional thinking. Liu Qitao said that in the past, naming names not only pay attention to surnames but also pay attention to generations, such as Ma surname, if it is "shou" generation, the newborn name can only be "Ma Shou X". But now parents have long since not named their children according to this rule, for example, in previous reports, parents surnamed Liu named their children "Liu Xiaolingtong", and parents surnamed Cheng named their children "Cheng Men Lixue".
"In any case, the name is actually a symbol, and there is nothing wrong with how parents take the name." However, the long-standing surname culture and the root culture of our Chinese nation can never be lost. Liu Qitao appealed.
