The founding king of Shang Dynasty was called "Tang", so when the Shang Dynasty was mentioned in the later history, it was also called Shang Tang.
The six generations of Tang's grandchildren began to have Zuyi, Zuxin, Zu Ding, Zu Geng, Zujia and Zuji ... all temple names of Shang kings, among which Zu Ti's name was Ziteng, and he was the most successful emperor among these Shang kings. He made great efforts to revive the declining Shang Dynasty.
About ancestry, it is generally considered as:
Shaodian → Xuanyuan → Xiao Xuan → Biji → Qi [Kui] → Qi [Qi] → Zhaoming [Wang Wu] → Xiangtu [Earth] → Chang Ruo [Sheep] → Yu Cao [Root] → Ghost [Season] → Nuclear [→ Teng [Zuyi] → Dan [Zuxin] → Letter [Zu Ding] →
The name of Shang King comes from the records in the historical book Annals of Bamboo Books, and the name in "]" is the name of the King Temple recorded in ancient times.
During the reign of Shang Tang, the founding monarch of Shang Dynasty, there was a famous left-handed clock. Among the descendants of Zhong, there is a person named Zuyi, who is the prime minister of Shang Dynasty after Zhong.
According to the historical records such as Yuan He Shi Bian and Surname Spectrum, "the surname of a son, after Yin, was the ancestor of Jia, B, C and Han, because of his surname, and his ancestors were in Yin, so he set out and looked forward to it."
Generally speaking, surnames scholars believe that the ancestors of ancestral surnames should be counted from their ancestors themselves. In the Wuding era of Shang Dynasty, the earliest ancestral historical records were recorded in ancient books, that is, the ancestral home of the sage who admonished the king with Taoism at that time, which was clearly recorded in the ancient book "The Emperor Gaozong Tongri": "The Emperor Gaozong sacrificed soup, and some pheasants rose to Dinger; The ancestors have trained the kings, and Gao Made Zongtong trained them every day. "
The Emperor Gaozong of Shang Dynasty was Zhao Zi of Wuding (reigned from BC 1250 to BC 1 192). His ancestral home is the prime minister of Shang Dynasty. He used the phenomenon that Shang sacrificial products flew to the top of the national tripod at the important ceremony of sacrificial soup to instruct Shang and its governors to "govern the country with benevolence"
According to this record, the ancestral surname has a history of at least 3300 years.
Among the descendants of ancestral home (ancestral righteousness), there are those who take their ancestral names as surnames, which are called ancestors and passed down from generation to generation. His ancestral home is Zhuo Jun, which is one of the earliest surnames in China.
The second origin: it originated from Mongols, and it belongs to the sinicization and surname change.
The Mongolian people are called Rishi, which is a very special surname group, that is, the "grave keeper" for generations.
In Mongolian, "Gege Zhao" means "ancestral grave", and the extended "Gegen Zhaori" indicates that it is a more lofty "ancestral grave", which is often used to refer to the tombs of ancestors, Wang Ye, Khan and Khan. People who have made outstanding achievements in Mongolian national history and commerce, and later full-time hereditary grave keepers took them as family surnames, that is, Gegen Yizhaori.
In the Ming Dynasty, various members of the Mongolian root Huri nationality changed their surname from Han to Zu, which was passed down from generation to generation.
The third origin: from Manchu language, belonging to the sinicization of changing surname into surname.
According to the Qing dynasty annals, imperial clan policy, Manchu Eight Banners surname records:
(1). Saskatchewan, the Manchu language, was originally named Bayara, later renamed Shi, and the Manchu language is Sakhala. Manchu, as the "ancestor", is a huge Manchu clan tribe with many branches. He lives in Ningguta (now Ning 'an City, Heilongjiang Province), Ahu River (now 60km south of Ning 'an City, Heilongjiang Province), Yehe River (now Yehe River, Yitong River, Yidan River and Dongliao River Basin in Jilin Province), Sakda (now Fushun Gorge River Basin in Liaoning Province), Hetuala (now Yongling Town, Xinbin County, Liaoning Province), Namudulu (now Russian coastal area) and Deling.
(2) Jiashi, a Manchu group whose Manchu language is Jugiya Hala, originally belonged to Han nationality. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was carried by the Wuhuan Department of Xianbei in Liaodong and merged into Xianbei. Later, it gradually evolved into a Liaodong jurchen living in Tieling (now Tieling, Liaoning Province), with the Han surname as her ancestor.
The fourth origin: from other ethnic minorities, belonging to sinicization, changing their surnames to surnames.
Today, among the Yi, Dongxiang, Dai, Miao and other ethnic minorities, there are members of ancestral clans, and most of their sources come from the policies of the central government in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the movement of changing the land to the stream, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
