Everyone has a surname, whether it is a single surname or a compound surname, an important part of Chinese culture is the surname, which carries the culture of our country for five thousand years. I believe many people know the book "Hundred Family Surnames" because it is not only a simple book, but also a cultural treasure left by the ancestors.
The surname is the code name of a person, it is also the code name of a family. Sometimes when two people with the same surname meet, they will say: "We were a family five hundred years ago." From this sentence, We can see how much a surname means to a person.
Many people may just know their surnames, but they don’t know the origin of their surnames. The origin and development history of each surname is not the same. The initial appearance of the surname was to distinguish the relationship between tribes, but don’t underestimate these two words, but there is a lot of future, just a surname representative It is the blood relationship between tribes or within tribes, which cannot be changed at will.
And the clan represents various branches within each tribe, which can be changed. Surnames and surnames cannot be confused, because in ancient times, the origin of surnames was mostly from various tribal totems. Some surnames were derived from place names, and some surnames were named after the achievements of their ancestors. It was called the Xuanyuan clan, because Huang Di invented the car, and Xuanyuan was the meaning of the wheel on the car, so the Xuanyuan clan called by the Yellow Emperor came from this.
There are eight more famous surnames in ancient times. These eight surnames are derived from eight larger tribes in ancient times. What is more interesting is that the eight oldest surnames are all Next to the female character, this is because it was a matrilineal society at that time. Later, with the development of patrilineal society, surnames and surnames slowly began to merge, and other surnames were slowly developed. Ji surname is one of them, and Huangdi is also surnamed Ji of. There are many surnames in China that actually evolved from the surname Ji, which is why the Yellow Emperor is called the ancestor of humanities. According to relevant data, more than 400 surnames in our country have evolved from Ji surnames, and many of today’s "Bai Jia Xing" came from this.
my country’s surnames have developed to this day, and there have been nearly 10,000, but not all surnames have been included in "Bai Jia Xing". For example, Cao Cao's Cao is also a surname, but this surname is not in the book "Hundred Family Surnames". There is a legend that during the Three Kingdoms period, when the three families returned to the Jin Dynasty, the Cao Wei regime fell and fell into the chase of the Sima family. In order to avoid this kind of fearful life, they later changed their surnames, not for others. Yes, just to recognize each other when we meet in the future.
There are many in "Hundred Family Names" that we all know, such as the king with the most surnames in the country today, followed by Zhang, and the "Hundred Family Names" ranked No. A Li is all familiar to us. After thousands of years of cultural accumulation in our country, there have been a variety of surnames, some of which we don’t know, even though some surnames have only simple three strokes, when they appear in front of you, you are not necessarily If you can read it correctly, this surname is quite special. It doesn't look like a complete Chinese character, but more like a radical, just a part of a Chinese character. This surname is the surname. You must be surprised if it shows up like this. Is this a surname? Yes, and there is no doubt that it is a surname.
I believe many people have never seen this word, because it is difficult to see this word in books nowadays, even if it can be written by hand, it may not be able to be typed with a mobile phone or computer . However, as a radical radical, it can be said that it is not strange, because many characters have this radical radical, such as the word must.
Even if you see it, you may not be able to read it correctly, because it has several pronunciations. When it is an independent Chinese character instead of a surname, it is pronounced as "shan". , But when it is used as a surname, it is pronounced "xian" three times or "shan" three times. If you see it in the future, you can no longer read it wrong.
