Jiangsu, referred to as "Su", is located in the coastal province of Jiangsu Delta . There are many jokes about Jiangsu on the Internet, which are often inseparable from the jokes of "bulk", "federal", and "north and southern Jiangsu". It means that all cities and even counties and municipalities in Jiangsu Province are "doing their own affairs" and "not looking down on each other."
Putting aside the physical fitness and comprehensive development strength of jokes, Jiangsu is also outstanding in terms of cultural heritage. As one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization, Jiangsu has four major cultural and regional characteristics: "Wu", " Jinling ", " Huaiyang " and "Central Plains". Nanjing is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and one of the four ancient capitals in China.
Today, let’s take a look at Jiangsu from the perspective of region and surname culture .
Changes in administrative divisions in Jiangsu
Talking about regional culture and surname culture, naturally, it is inseparable from the evolution of administrative divisions.
If we start from the pre-Qin period, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, northern Jiangsu belonged to Dongyi and Huaiyi , and southern Jiangsu belonged to Gouwu . In the summer, Jiangsu's subordinate Xuzhou and Yangzhou ...
By the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong's "Qingyi Tongzhi" separated Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and the catalogue was already "a certain province above". At that time, Jiangsu Province was under the jurisdiction of Jiangning Prefecture (now Nanjing City), Songjiang Prefecture (now Shanghai City), and Liangjiang Governor's Office stationed in Jiangning , which became the beginning of the establishment of the province in Jiangsu today.
The name "Jiangsu" is named after the first characters of Jiangning and Suzhou , meaning "the peace of the south of the Yangtze River". has evolved several times in history. The famous "Ninghan Confluence" is the term Ning from the old name of Nanjing, but the earliest name of Jiangning comes from Western Jin .
Jiangsu's five major surnames
After thousands of years of development, Jiangsu's surname culture is also profound. According to population size, the top four surnames are basically consistent with the top four surnames with high population rankings in the country. Only the fifth one is different.
We will not talk about the Wang family who has been introduced many times. It mainly comes from the Ji surname, and a small part comes from the Zi surname, Gui surname and ethnic minority change surnames. Ji Jin is generally the ancestor of the surname. The Wang family, which has a large population, includes many county or hall names such as Taiyuan, Langya , and Lanling.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wang family mainly moved in North China. During the Sui Dynasty, the Wang family began to migrate to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. developed to Ming Dynasty , and the population of Wang family in Jiangsu has accounted for 13.1% of the Wang family in the country.
During the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the population migrated to the southeast on a large scale, and the proportion of the population of the north and south Wang clans changed. The king of Sichuan moved to Huguang , and finally distribution pattern changed into two major areas: Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Hebei and Shaanxi.
Today, among the thirteen cities in Jiangsu, there are twelve cities with the largest surname, all of which are kings.
Zhang family descendants took Zhang Hui as their ancestor, mainly from the Ji surname and changing surnames. There are sources such as official titles as surnames and place names as surnames.
The old saying goes: The Zhang family in the world comes out of the Qing River.
Zhang clan first moved in "Yincheng Qingyang", and the ancient land was in the area of Puyang, Henan and Qinghe, Hebei. It spread to the surrounding areas during the Qin and Han Dynasties, especially in the early Qin Dynasty, the Zhang family began to enter Sichuan, and most of them were descendants of nobles.
After the anti-Qin war and Chu-Han dispute .The Zhang family became the largest surname in the north. Western Han Dynasty The descendants of Zhang Liang moved from Shaanxi to Hebei to Jiangsu. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, their footprints involved Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi.
During the Ming Dynasty, the surname Zhang was the second largest surname, concentrated in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Province. Yangtze River is the boundary, with more in the north and less in the south.
When it comes to the surname Chen, which province is the first province that comes to mind?
In the pre-Qin period, the surname Chen mainly moved in Henan, Anhui and Hubei regions. By the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, the footprints of the surname Chen had set foot on Hunan, Jiangsu, Shanxi and Shandong.
Chen Shi (安) Park
Chen's famous counties are Yingchuan County , Xin'an County , etc.
"New Book of Tang " says Chen Zhen, the ancestor of Chen in Yingchuan. Later, his descendant Chen Bozhen crossed the river to Qu'a (now Danyang, Jiangsu) in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Bozhen's grandson moved to Xiaruoli in the Great Wall (now Changxing, Zhejiang). Chen Baxian is his outstanding representative of his branch. He established the Chen Kingdom and established the capital Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), and conferred many kings of Chen's surname, so that the descendants of Chen's surname were spread across the Yangtze River and the Guangdong River.
But some researchers have also verified that this Chen Zhen is not Warring States King Jianjizi of Qi, but Warring States Period traitor Chen Zhen, and Chen Shi (子) is Yingchuan Chen Shizu. There is currently Chenna Park, built in Taiqiu Town, Yongcheng City, Henan Province, on the alluvial plain of the Huanghuai River at the junction of the four provinces of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui.
Li's blood ancestor was Gao Yao , and the ancestor of the surname was Li Lizhen. There are many sources such as Ying surname, Ji surname, totem, and evolution of official positions.
In the pre-Qin period, the activities of the surname Li began in Henan, and during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the surname Li migrated to the whole country. With the Qin conquest, the Li surname first entered Guangdong and Guangxi.
to the 11th generation Laozi Li Er, his descendants entered Long and became prominent families. They lived in Hebei's Li family , and went southeast to many places in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.
According to the genealogy data provided by the Henan Genealogy Research Association, the Li family generation in some areas is extracted here as follows:

Xu Guo During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, they have been active between the Jianghuai River and Huai River.
But according to the information from Oriental Network in 2013, if you chase it, the Xu people's activities were first in Xu Wushan, north of Yutian, Hebei.
From the time of the Xia Dynasty, Xu's surname was granted a title to the Warring States Period and was destroyed. The surname Xu said that the surname Xu has a history of 2,500 years.
