"Mandarin · Juan Qi Jin Yu Yi" Chinese records, "In the Yin Xin Dynasty, there was Su, and the Su clan used Da and his daughter Yan, and Da had a favor, so Hu was compared with Jiao Li and died in Yin"; "Historical Records·Volume 3·Yin "The third book of the book" "good wine and lewd pleasure, good for women. Love Daji, Daji's words follow."
Daji, from then on, together with the Xixi of Xia Dynasty and the praise of Zhou Dynasty, have become the "favorable beauty and water" that harms the country and the people. Judging from these two paragraphs of historical records, Daji is not a kind person. Because Daji came from the Su clan, he was also called Su Daji.
But come on, Daji is not named Su at all. Ancient surnames and names are not the same thing. "The surnames are derived from the place where their ancestors are tested; the clan is divided by the descendants." After the surname is created, it is passed on from generation to generation and is generally not changed and is relatively stable. And change, so there will be a person's offspring may have several clan or father and son two generations of different clan.
In ancient times, men were called by their surnames and first names instead of surnames. For example, Kongqiu, whose surname was Kong; Jing Ke was not surnamed Jing, he was Jiang Qing. He was originally called Qing Ke because of "Qing "" is very similar to "Jing" in ancient times, and Qingke became Jingke.
In ancient times, when addressing women, the surname was generally used instead of the family name. Naturally, ordinary women can't leave their names in history books. Most of those who left their names were the wives of kings. Their names are often the posthumous name of the husband plus her maiden name; or her own title plus her maiden name.
Xuan Jiang is the princess of Qi State and the wife of Wei Xuangong. Her name is the posthumous name of her husband Wei Xuangong, plus her family's "Jiang" surname; Zhuang Jiang is also the Princess of Qi, the wife of Wei Zhuanggong. Her name is "Zhuang" plus "Jiang" surname. Wen Jiang is her own title "Wen" plus her maiden name. Judging from this name, it also proves that Wen Jiang is very literary despite his poor character.
Therefore, Daji is not actually Su at all. "Da" means the beauty of this woman; "ji" is Daji's surname. The last name
"Ji" is rarely seen today. So, what is the origin of this surname? Who are the ancestors of Daji?
"The Dialectics of Ancient and Modern Surnames·Liu Zhi": "The Yellow Emperor's surname was 14 people, and Qingyang and Yigu were both his own surnames. Qingyang, Shaohao also had the Su clan; Xia princes had Su clan, Zhou princes Tanzi, All afterwards. There is a daughter of the Su family, Yu Yun, who is Daji."
In other words, the ancestor of the family of Daji is Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor. Huangdi has a total of 25 sons, each of whom was given 12 surnames. Among them, Qingyang and Yigu are his own surnames. Qingyang is the ancestor of Daji.
Therefore, Daji is not actually surnamed Su, but surnamed Ji. Her ancestors have a lot of origin, but Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor.
