Ke Cai’s same clan origin
Ke Cai’s same clan because the ancestors of the two surnames were from the Ji surname, both of them were after the Zhou Taiwang . Historical records: In his later years, King Tai of Zhou wanted to be passed down to the third son, Jili (also known as Wang Ji ), the eldest son, Taibo and the second son, Zhongyong , discussed and voluntarily abdicated to make the King of Tai located in the Jili lect. The two of them went to the south, cut off their hair and tattooed them, opened up the land of Jingman , and established gu Wu Kingdom . In the early years of the 5th year of the 5th year of the dynasty of the dynasty, after the Jili grandson of King Wu and Ji Fa destroyed Shang, he appointed Taibo's third generation grandson as a marquis, and then changed the country's name to Wu. Mr. Wu (after Zhongyong) Lu, who was fed by Ke, was called Ke Lu , and his descendants took Ke as their surname.
Cai’s family mainly comes from descendants of King Wen of Zhou, the grandson of King Tai of Zhou, , Ji Chang , and regards the country as its clan. After the defeat of Shang, King Wu , he appointed his fifth brother Shudu to Cai, which is known in history as Cai Shudu . During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou, he was re-elected as the son of Cai Shudu, Cai Zhong in Cai, and the new Cai State was in Shangcai County, Henan. After Chu destroyed Cai, the people of the country took the country as their surname and lived in various places.
is a coincidence. The descendants of the Ke surname of developed into a prominent family in Jiyang during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was the same as the Cai surname. Therefore, the Ke and Cai surnames have another basis for connecting the clan. In addition, in history, Ko Tsai has repeatedly experienced blood ties between the same clans, mutual assistance and unity.
According to the information from the Jianyang Cai family genealogy, Cai Lu (856-943), the first ancestor of the Jianyang Cai family, was passed down to Cai He in the fifth generation, and then the sixth generation was named Cai Maolong. Mao Feng gave birth to two sons, the eldest was Jiulang, and the second was named Shilang. Juro married into Ke's only daughter, Gu Ying, in Changle Caijiayuan, and gave birth to five sons. The eldest son, the third son and the fifth son inherit the Cai family; the second son and the fourth son inherit the Ke family's sacrifice.
"Quanzhou Ancestral Hall Genealogy" records: Minnan The relatives of the three surnames Xin, Ke and Cai are the ones who are in line with each other. The ancestors came to Fujian from 5 pm in the Song Dynasty. At first, he lived in Zhangyin Township, Fengchen, Xiada Road, Fuzhou, and later he divided his surnames and places, and built a ancestral temple. The elder brother joined the surname Xin and lived in front of the Longwang Temple in Hui'an County, and then branched into the counties of Zhangzhou. In order to commemorate the famous minister of the Song Dynasty, descendants died in Qingyang and took Qingyang as the lantern of Xin's family. The second brother joined the surname Ke and lived in the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County outside the south gate of Quanzhou. Later, he went to the Yongchun Shishan area. In order to commemorate the famous official Ke in the Song Dynasty, the story of the benevolent people and the love of things, and the strange magpies knowing feelings, Ruique Hall is the lit of the Ke family. The third brother, whose surname is Cai, went to the east gate of Quanzhou, and south of Luoyang Bridge, gathered people to build a ancestral temple. Every year on the 15th day of the second lunar month and 15th day of the eighth day of the lunar month, the three tribes of Xin, Ke and Cai worship their ancestors and attend banquets to ensure the friendship between the clan. The tomb of the ancestors of the Cai family is located at the windy place on the Xiada Road in Fuzhou. Every year, the second festival of spring and autumn , the lantern name of the Cai surname Jiyang Hall , but the three surnames of Jiyang Hall can be used.
From the historical origin, it can be seen that from Cai and Ke Cai, from Cai and Xin Ke Cai, this is the result of blood reproduction and a portrayal of blood connection and mutual assistance and unity.
