Yuwen surname, the earliest source, is said to come from Emperor Yan of the Central Plains. Because he couldn't be the Yellow Emperor, some people fled to Inner Mongolia and lived a nomadic life. Then, when the Xia Dynasty perished, another guy named Chunyu came with a large number of people, claiming to be the son of Jie, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty. As soon as the two sides came into contact, it was estimated that they had a battle. Therefore, the descendants of Emperor Yan could not compete with Xia Jie's son. So Chunwei said, "Come with me!"
Chun Wei, so he established a tribal alliance on the grassland, called Xiongnu.
Then at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu was finally caught in the pot, the order under Khan no longer existed, and the tribes under Xiongnu fled everywhere. These people who claim to be descendants of Emperor Yan can no longer stay on the grassland and can only migrate to the east. I have been to Xianbei Mountain (ancient books only say that it is four thousand miles north of Datong, and now it is generally speculated that it is Daxinganling), so I have been called Xianbei since then.
Later, a tribal leader named Puhui hunted in the grassland and found three seals of the Han people. There are three words on it. Xianbei people can't read, so please ask the most literate wizard on the grassland to recognize it. The wizard looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know if he knew it, so he said it was the word "imperial seal".
(Yuwen Department claims to be a descendant of Emperor Yan, but it is actually a hybrid of yellow race and white race. )
I'm glad to be back here. Do I have a chance to be emperor? Anyway, it's a gift from heaven. Since then, Pu Hui has given his people a surname, which translates as "King of Heaven". In transliteration, Tian is pronounced "Yu" and "Wang" is pronounced "Wen" in Xianbei language, hence the Yuwen surname. The whole tribe is naturally called Yuwen Department.
However, the initial experience of Yuwen Department was not smooth. There are three Xianbei tribes in the northeast, one is Duan, the other is Yuwen, and the third is the later Murong Wang. Yuwen claimed to be a descendant of Emperor Yan, but in the end he failed Murong Department and was annexed by it.
Therefore, Yuwen Department has been lurking in Murong's Yan State for many years. It was not until Tuoba, who later claimed to be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, established a representative country that he was upgraded to the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Yan State, Yuwen Department successfully rebelled and stood on the side of Tuoba Department.
Then decades later, Yuwen Department finally got the chance, and the Northern Wei Dynasty of Tuoba Department also split. In the west, there happened to be a man who held the military power, and he was Yu Wentai.
During Yu Wentai's time, the Western Wei Dynasty was already a puppet regime, so when Yu Wenxuan got it, he simply abolished the Western Wei Emperor and became the emperor himself. This is the Northern Zhou Dynasty in history-in other words, the jade seal picked up by the tribal leader Puyi was finally verified here.
Then you can see in many TV dramas that the power struggle and intrigue became the main theme of this scene. Finally, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Sui Dynasty in the Sui Wendi, and the Yuwen family also fell apart. Although Yang Di, a dissolute emperor, died at the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, it was futile for the Yuwen family to return to the throne, and Yu Wencheng, the world's first military commander in Romance, was even more illusory.
In the next 1000 years, the surname Yuwen became rare. There were Yuwen Rong in the Tang Dynasty and Yuwen Xu Zhong in the Song Dynasty. Later, celebrities rarely appeared. Up to now, it is even more rare. Up to now, it is even more rare. Only distributed in Hebei, Shaanxi, Beijing, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Taiwan Province provinces. Yuwen's population ranks 55 1, far from the hundred surnames, with a population of about 2 1 10,000.
