The clouds of the ancients, the towering wood, must have its roots to continue to grow, and the waters of the mountains must have its roots to flow endlessly.
For the Chinese nation with a history of 5,000 years, "surname" not only represents the inheritance of culture, but also the maintenance of family blood ties, and each surname has its own unique connotation and story.
The surnames of the mainland have appeared as early as the primitive society period, and from the development of the times at that time, all the tribes entrenched in the Central Plains have their own surnames as a distinction.
Not only the Yan and Huang Emperor tribes that developed agricultural civilization, but also the Chiyou tribe that lived by nomadic herding also had surnames.
With the outbreak of the Battle of the Deer, the Chiu tribe collapsed in an instant, but its surname was silently passed down as a culture and has been preserved to this day.
If you are one of these four surnames, then you may not be a descendant of Yanhuang, but a descendant of Chi You.
The surname is derived from the Battle of Makino
Nowadays, many people regard characters such as Yanhuang and Chi You a hundred years ago as legendary existences, believing that they were fictional characters invented by people at that time to meet their spiritual needs, but this statement is not without credibility.
The so-called Yanhuang may only be the name of the tribal leader at that time, but it is undeniable that the Yanhuang period was the source of Chinese civilization. The earliest surnames, as well as their related cultures, also began to emerge at this time.
At that time, various tribal clans were distributed in different corners of society because of their strength, occupying different resources, and with the development of social productive forces, the population gradually multiplied, and many branches of the same family were forced to multiply to other areas.
Although the residence is different, the inner blood ties still exist, and in order to be able to distinguish from the family and maintain these internal connections, surnames are born, and most of them are named after some natural phenomena and things worshiped by the family.
For example, the Xuanyuan clan of the Yan Emperor and the Fengren clan of the Yellow Emperor have evolved into multiple surnames after the tribal differentiation and have been passed down to this day.
Later, the battle between the two emperors of Yan and Huang and the Qianyou tribe was essentially a cultural clash represented by surnames.
Before the battle of the deer, the tribes of the Yan and Huang emperors had developed to a fairly prosperous extent, but the Qianyou tribes in the north, which lived on nomadism, were not.
In order to strengthen his own ethnic group, Chiyu had to expand his living space inland, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Makino.
According to the records in the "History", "and Chi You is the most violent and cannot be felled", that is, Chi You is the most killed among many tribes, and the most difficult to conquer, so that the two emperors of Yan and Huang later joined forces, leading troops to the wild deer where Chi You was stationed.
Legend has it that many princes on the side of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, the halberd is in charge, and the Qianyou side is a human beast language, copper head and iron brain, and the two armies launched a big battle here.
During this period, Chi You lavishly practiced witchcraft, which made it difficult to discern the direction of the heavenly vision, and the Yellow Emperor failed several attacks, until the appearance of a guide car broke the deadlock.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the two emperors of Yan and Huang won a complete victory in the war, and several important leaders, including Chi You, were captured and killed by the Yellow Emperor.
The rest of the subordinate or subordinate tribes became fallen and scattered, taking their people away from the place to avoid trouble, and in order not to cause trouble, they changed their surnames, but they could not change to be descendants of Chiu, the most typical of which are four.
The scattered surname of the Chiu tribe
People with the surname "Li" today are most likely descendants of Chi You. At that time, the tribe where Chiu You belonged was called "barbarians", and the "Jiuli tribe" was the closest blood relationship to Chiyou, and the so-called "Jiuli" included a total of nine major clans, that is, nine different surnames.
Legend has it that among these nine surnames, there are a total of eighty-one chiefs, and they are the most important fighting force in the deer chasing war.
The Jiuli tribe not only performed outstanding on the battlefield, but also the forging technology of divine weapons is exceptional, helping Chi You unify the barbarians and stabilize the tribe, and the word "Li" in the people of Li today refers to the "Jiuli tribe" of the year.
Many leaders died in the war, and some were captured and executed, but still a small number of people escaped, they led the family to find another place to live, and changed their names and surnames, in order to show loyalty to the family, they referred to the family name and surname, changed it to "Li", and developed and operated in various places.
To this day, the surname "Li" still exists, most likely the scattered clansmen of the Chiyou tribe in those years.
The saying of the land of "Zou Tu"
Among the many tribes of Chiyou, in addition to the surname "Li" and other people who fled, some people were recruited by the tribes of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and after the fierce battle between the two sides, although the tribes of Chiyou were defeated, the losses caused to the Yanhuang side were still not small, in order to supplement their combat effectiveness, they decided to recruit some of the tribes of Chiyou.
According to relevant historical records, "the daughter of the Zou Tu clan, the concubine of the emperor." This point reflects the way of "marriage" between the two emperors and the descendants of the Chiyou tribe.
This marriage was not forced by one party, but a voluntary policy under the equality of both parties, and over time, the two emperors of Yan and Huang became related to this ethnic group.
According to his surname, his tribe was arranged in the "Land of Zou Tu", which was about a generation in the lower reaches of the Yellow River ruled by the Yellow Emperor, and the descendants of Chi You here took "Zou, Tu" as their new surname, redeveloped their tribe, and passed it on to this day under the protection and reuse of the Yellow Emperor.
Descendants of Xuchang City
In the village of Guoji in today's Xuchang City, there were about 500 people who claimed to be descendants of Chi You, and their surname was not Guo, but "蚩".
After scholarly investigation, this group of people is most likely descended from the ancient Chiyou tribe, and this conclusion is based on the historical development process.
Relevant scholars believe that since the defeat of Chi You in ancient times, he has become a "rebel" in subsequent societies, whether it is his own surname or other surnames derived from it, he will be discriminated against and ostracized in later times.
According to the bloodline complex of the ancient surname, that is, there will be no people who do not have the surname "蚩" deliberately change to this surname.
Even today, no one will easily change their surname, and this kind of "Chi" surname, not only Xu Chang, but even some Miao people in the south also have this surname, which further shows that the person with the surname "Qian" may be the descendants of Chi You.
All in all, no matter what the surname, it is now an indispensable cultural source of the Chinese nation, and we should respect and study it.
