【Origin】:
(1) The origin of the qian surname is indeed related to the money. According to legend, the qian surname is a surname derived from the official name "Sergeant Qianfu" who is in charge of money. The Song Dynasty Zheng Qiao's "Tongzhi Clan Sketch" included the Qian clan in the category of "taking officials as clans", saying: "Emperor Huan's great-grandson Lu Pengzu was born pengzu, who was descended from Sun Fu and was a sergeant of the Zhou Qianfu Clan. Therefore, this official position originated in the Zhou Dynasty and was responsible for the management and dispatch of money. Peng Zu's grandson Fu took the official name as his surname when he took office, and since then he has had the surname of Qian. After that, his descendants continued this title, and the family name was Qian.
Judging from the origin of the Qian surname, the Qian surname is differentiated from the Peng surname and has a common ancestor with the Peng surname. The surnames Qian and Peng often consider themselves to be a family, and they have a common agreement such as helping each other in distress and not marrying each other.
In fact, the ancestral home of the Qian surname was Xia Pi (present-day Jiangsu), which was not the same as the birthplace of the Peng surname, Pengcheng (present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu). However, people surnamed Qian have always regarded Pengcheng as a county, and the reason for this is precisely because it is homologous with the Surname Of Peng.
People with the surname Qian were first concentrated in the Xia Pi area. Xia Pi is located near present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Xuzhou was called Pengcheng in ancient times. Xia Pi and Peng Cheng are very close, which also proves the close relationship between the surnames of Qian and Peng to a certain extent.
Later, the Qian surname gradually moved south, distributed to various areas south of the Yangtze River, and there are still many Qian surnames in the Wuxing and Wujin areas of Jiangnan. In Guangdong, Fujian, and even in many overseas Chinese gathering places, there is a certain degree of distribution.
(2) According to the "History of the Chu Family", Lu Was the great-grandson of Chu Shijia, and his wife was three years pregnant, had a caesarean section, and gave birth to six sons, "Three Pengzu". Peng Zu was a famous big birthday star, and the Shiben said that he was "surnamed Zhi, named Hao, in the Shang Dynasty to keep the history of Tibet, in the Zhou Dynasty under the pillar history, at the age of eight hundred." "His descendant Peng Fu served as a sergeant in Qianfu (Qianfu, the official office in charge of money; sergeant, official name, Zhou Dynasty had sergeant, sergeant, corporal), and Peng Fu took the official position as his surname, that is, Qian. Because the capital of Western Zhou was built in Hojing (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi), Peng Fu must have been an official in Beijing, so the Qian surname was formed in Shaanxi.
