Friends who often watch Korean dramas should know that there are many people with the surname Kim in the Korean region of South Korea and the northeast region of our country. This Jin surname is not ordinary, it is said that at first it was a "Wang surname", and later changed to the Jin surname. Want to know what the reason for this is? Let's take a look at it with the editor! Korean Kim surname:
Koreans derive the surname "Wang". In 1392, the Goryeo dynasty general Lee Sung-gyu deposed the king of Goryeo and established himself as king, changing the name of the country to "Joseon". The King of Joseon wanted to exterminate the royal family (Wang surname) of the former Goryeo Dynasty, which had a strong Mongolian bloodline, so people with the Korean king's surname changed their surnames to Kim, Jeon, and Yu.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Relics of the Three Kingdoms, in 65 AD, the priest heard the chirping of roosters coming from the woods west of Gyeongju. So he sent the prime minister Gong Gong to go and see what was going on. In the forest, he found a gold box hanging from a tree. There was also a rooster chirping incessantly under the golden box. The Escapist Master now asks the golden box to be removed. When I opened the box, I found that there was a child in the box. The nuns now adopted the child. Since the child came from the Golden Box, he was given the surname of Jin by the Renunciation Nun. The forest where the golden box was found was therefore also renamed the Chicken Forest (the grove where the roosters chirp). The "History of the Three Kingdoms" records: "Changed the name of the forest to Chicken Forest, because it was the name of the country"
Origin of the surname Huaxia Jin:
There are many surnames of jin, the earliest one is derived from the Shaohao Emperor in ancient times, and the other jin is from the Western Han Dynasty Jin Riqi ("Riju" is pronounced "Midi"). In addition to the above two Jin clans, during the Former Qin Dynasty of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the qiang leaders had the Jin clan. The Silla king in Korean history was surnamed Kim. The founding king of Wuyue, one of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, was called Qian Wei, and because the name of The Emperor was homophonous with Liu, in order to avoid his name, the people of the country with the surname of Liu went to Liu Zi's knife and changed it to the Jin clan. There is also a jin clan that was changed from the surname of Temujin, a descendant of Genghis Khan (Temujin), the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, from the family of the Tiemu clan prime minister. The county names of Jin are Pengcheng and Jingzhao.
