Continue to pay attention to the Spring Festival special program "The Year of the Tiger Says Tiger". We all have names and surnames Chinese, and surname culture is also a unique cultural phenomenon in Chinese civilization. Zhao Qiansun Li and Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, these surnames are familiar to us, but the surname we want to talk about today may be the first time you have heard of it, it is related to the tiger, the king of the hundred beasts.
The Year of the Tiger says the tiger: A village in Suzhou, the whole village is surnamed Tiger
In Hujia Village, Dadian Town, Wanqiao District, Suzhou City, villager Hu Dejiu said that they did not have a foreign surname in Zhuangzhuang, and the five or six hundred people in Zhuang were surnamed Hu, and none of them had a foreign surname.
There is no evidence for the mouth, and the ID card is taken to see. Good fellow, that's true.
The villagers have a name called Hu Chunbo, Hu Fa Min, Hu Jincheng, Hu Yinuo, and a small baby named Tiger Girl.
The reporter said that it felt dangerous to stand among their villagers, because it was as if they were surrounded by a group of tigers.
Villagers said that being surrounded by so many tigers shows that the tiger is mighty and the tiger is prosperous.
Coincidentally, these three villagers are not only surnamed Tiger, but also belong to Tiger, which happens to be three generations of people.
Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, these surnames we often see, the tiger surname is really the first time to encounter, even the hundred family names do not have. Villagers say that when others hear their surnames, their first reactions are surprised and often cause misunderstandings.
Most of the villagers were surprised and had never heard of the surname.
Villagers said that this tiger was also the first time he had heard of it, and everyone called him Brother Tiger.
The villagers all think that it is Gu Yuehu, but it is actually the tiger's tiger.
In Hujia Village, whether it is a new daughter-in-law or an old sister-in-law who marries from another village, there is no one with the surname Yang.
The villagers said that people did not dare to come, for fear of tigers eating,
Villagers say that sheep are in the mouth of the tiger, and they dare not marry here hahaha.
The eldest sister is different, she said that her surname is more compatible with the tiger surname, maybe it can also have the role of Wangfu. Say, his surname is Wang, the tiger head plus a king, auspicious!
What is the origin of the tiger surname that is not in the hundred family names? But even the oldest man in the village couldn't say why.
This grandfather's name is Hu Dejiu, 86 years old, the oldest, Hu Dejiu said, this tiger surname is from outside, more than ten lifetimes.
In 2010, in order to find the source of the surname, Hujia Village specially sent people to Neixiang County, Henan, where there was a village with the surname of Hu, but in the end there was no result, but it was heard a legend, saying that in ancient times, there were two brothers named Hu Qigao and Hu Qirui, who jointly guarded the Tiger Prison Pass, and before the outbreak of a war, the two brothers made a total.
Villager Hu Famin said that the brothers had negotiated there, saying that the two men wanted to go one, and they could not all be here, and once the fight began, both brothers were killed in battle, and there would be no successor.
Later, the two decided to let their brother leave tiger prison.
Hu Famin said that the books in the ancestral hall were very wide, and the paper was yellow, so it was written that "the second tiger Qirui moved to Shandong or Anhui."
In other words, the villagers of Hujia Village in Suzhou are likely to be the descendants of Hu Qirui. Although there is no clear genealogical record, this legend also makes the villagers feel some comfort, the ancestors are the tiger generals, but they are also the door queen.
The Year of the Tiger says the tiger: the tiger surname is very old, reading the tiger also reads "cat"
The tiger surname is indeed very peculiar, even the oldest man in the village can't say why, so what is the origin of the tiger surname? From which dynasty and which generation did it originate?
Query data found that the tiger surname is a rare and ancient surname, its origin is mainly two theories, experts say that the earliest can be traced back to ancient times.
Weng Fei, director of the Anhui Historical and Cultural Research Center, said that the first theory was that in front of Emperor Tang Yao, an emperor was called Emperor Zhao, and when Emperor Zhao was called Emperor Zhao, there were eight tribal leaders called "Eight Yuan" Among the eight elders, there was one named Bo Hu, and this Bo Hu helped Emperor Zhao Tianzi fight the world, which was very meritorious and did a lot of things, and then he was enthroned, and his descendant Bo Hu Bo Hu took Hu as his surname.
The second theory is that the tiger surname originates from the descendant of King Wu of Zhou during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Weng Fei said that it was Zhou Zhaohu, and King Li of Zhou was very tyrannical, so he gave him advice to King Li of Zhou and suggested that he say, "The mouth of the people is better than the defense of Sichuan" The idiom was left by the Duke of Zhao, so the branch of the Duke of Zhao was also sealed, and their descendants were divided into two branches: one was the surname of Ji, and the other was the surname of Tiger. So the tiger surname is a very old surname.
Weng Fei introduced that after thousands of years of sub-feudal migration, the Hu clan people are currently distributed in Anhui, Henan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places. Interestingly, the tiger surname in Sichuan is not pronounced tiger, but "cat".
Weng Fei said that some of them are surnamed tigers, and some of them are surnamed "cats", because tigers belong to the cat family, so the tiger surnames in Chengdu are called "cats", so the tiger surname has two zhuyin, one is called tiger and the other is called "cat", which is particularly good and interesting.
Obviously it is a tiger word, why is it pronounced as cat?
Weng Fei said that there is such a story, cats teach tigers, tigers are cats, used to be called big cats, cats taught tigers to the end, tigers will not go up the tree, when the tiger wants to eat the cat, it runs to the tree, the tiger has no way to take it, because this tiger is very fierce, this army, ethnic minorities have made battle achievements to seal this side, they themselves call themselves big cats.
