According to legend, the descendants of Emperor Yan, * * * owned a son named Julong, who served as a thick soil in the Yellow Emperor (an official position in charge of land affairs and agricultural production in ancient times). After his death, he was named "Kitchen God" and began to offer sacrifices to people in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. His son and grandson take the official name as their surname, and they are called Hou Shi, which shows the custom. Last name: Zuiyun: Houtu. Taoist history and latent husband theory: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu and Chu shared a common surname. On the other hand, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the son of Lu was sealed in □ (now Dongping County, Shandong Province), and posthumous title was □ Huibo. Later generations took Shi and posthumous title as their surnames, which were called □', and later □' simplified and removed the radicals, becoming Hou Shi. See the source of surname. According to Confucius, a disciple is called the empress; In the Han dynasty, Hou Cang, Yong Ren and Dr. Xuandi heard about it, and the official was even less official. Although the modern word "Hou" is only a simple word, in the application of philology, "Hou" and "Hou" can be used in many places, but the origin and development of surnames "Hou" and "Hou" are different. The boundary between "Hou" and "Hou" seems to be getting smaller and smaller. There are some names of "Hou" today, but some of them are actually misinformed.
The geographical distribution of Hou Shi is said to be the descendant of Empress Zhao, the grandson of Emperor Tai Hao, the leader of Dongyi tribe in ancient times. Look at the surname. On the other hand, in ancient times, the daughter of a surname of Qi became a queen, and the queen's family was later given the surname "Hou" and became the surname. There is a simple cloud in Tongzhi clan: in the Five Dynasties, the admirer was a dragonfly envoy; Kaifeng county, Henan province has this surname. In addition, it also includes a brief introduction to the Tongzhi imperial clan: in the Ming Dynasty, there was a late-sensitive man who was a scholar in Yongle and served as the chief secretary of the Western Regions Capital Protection Office. Today there are Hou Shi families in Yilong County, Sichuan, Guyuan County, Gansu, Ningxiang County, Hunan and Xuancheng County, Anhui. In the application of writing, the word "Hou" and "Hou" can be interchanged in many places. So the boundary between "Hou" and "Hou" seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Today, there are some people with the surname "Hou", and some of them may be distorted. According to the press, the modern word "Hou" is simply the word "Hou", but the Hou Shi family and the Hou Shi family have different origins in the historical development of hundreds of surnames.
First, the origin of surnames
(after u) surnames come from three sources:
1, from the Tai Hao family, and all descendants of the latter Zhao are surnamed Hou. According to the research of surname, the grandson of Tai Hao, the leader of ancient Dongyi tribe, is a descendant of Houzhao. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this surname was born in Hebei, Kaifeng and other places.
2, from * * * Gong, with the official name as the surname. According to "Custom Yi Tong", it is said that Gong, a descendant of Emperor Yan, had a son named Julong, who served as Hou Di in the Yellow Emperor's era (the official position in charge of land affairs and agricultural production in ancient times) and was named "Kitchen God" after his death. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, they have been offering sacrifices to people. Later generations took the official name as their surname and called Hou Shi. "Family Name Compilation" said: "Houdi." Shang Shu Dao and On Qian Fu contain: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke of Lu and Chu had a surname."
3, from the surname Ji, taking the city name as the surname. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the son of Lu made the son a city and posthumous title a Huibo. His descendants take the name of the city as their surname, which is called Shi; Later, the right side of the city was omitted as Hou surname, which was called Hou surname.
Ancestor: Gongzi Gong. Hou and Hou were two different surnames in ancient times. Today, they are simply called Hou surnames, regardless of each other. In the past, the Hou family was a descendant of the legendary leader of the ancient Dongyi nationality. Tai Hao, also known as Tai Hao or Dahao, was another name of the ancient emperor Fu. According to the "Textual Research on Surnames", "I love Sun Houzhao so much that I have this surname in Kaifeng today, and I see the East China Sea." It can be seen that Hou Shi's surname is based on the word "Wang Fu". My hometown is Donghai, which is now Donghai County, Jiangsu Province. There are two origins of Hou Shi: one originated from the surname of Ji, which was surrounded by Gong, the son of Lu, in the fief of Langya (now Dongping, Shandong), and the other was that posthumous title was Langhuibo, whose descendants took Langya as their surname and later entered the city as their surname. Second, according to legend, the descendant of Yan Di * * * Gong's clause dragon was named Houdi (the official position in charge of land affairs), and after his death, he was named the social god. Later, his descendants took this as their surname and called Hou Shi. Hou Shi people respect the ancestor of Gong Wei and Hou Shi.
Second, migration distribution.
Among the 100 surnames in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province province, this (missing) surname did not enter the top 100. In ancient times, the famous leader of Dongyi tribe was also called Tai Hao. Tai Hao had a grandson named Hou Zhao, whose descendants formed the surname Hou Zhao. Now it is called Hou for short, but among hundreds of surnames, Hou and Hou are two surnames with different origins. Hou's surname originated from Gong, an ancient tribal leader. His son was called Julong, and his official position was to manage land cultivation. After the descendants of the dragon, the surname of the local official is surname. However, people who have surnames now are often abbreviated to surnames. In any case, these two surnames have a glorious and long history. In the early history of our country, the descendants of Hou Shi family were almost all from Shandong: in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius' disciples were Qi people; Later Cang was a native of Tancheng, Shandong Province, and had a far-reaching influence on the traditional culture of China. The latter surname, like many surnames, did not develop into a prosperous family, but after numerous generations of reproduction and reproduction, its descendants have already spread all over the world. For example, during the Xuande reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, he guarded Zhou Min for more than 20 years, and his command was strict. Hou Neng, a famous soldier, was Zhou Min at that time, which is now Min County, Gansu Province. Today there are Hou Shi families in Yilong County, Sichuan, Guyuan County, Gansu, Ningxiang County, Hunan and Xuancheng County, Anhui. In the application of writing, the word "Hou" and "Hou" can be interchanged in many places. So the boundary between "Hou" and "Hou" is getting smaller and smaller. Today, there are some people with the surname "Hou", and some of them may be distorted. The modern word "Hou" is simply the word "Hou", but the Hou Shi family and the Hou Shi family have different origins in the historical development of hundreds of surnames. But today it is abbreviated to last name, regardless of each other.
Third, historical celebrities.
Hou Ji: the ancestor of Zhou people in ancient China. Legend has it that Tai's daughter was born and abandoned at birth, hence the name. In the Yao-Shun era (before 2 1 century BC), he was an agricultural official and had a fief in Taifen, named Hou Ji and surnamed Ji. It is said that he is good at planting all kinds of food crops and teaching people to farm. Later, the Zhou family regarded him as an ancestor and thought that he was the first person to grow millet and wheat. In the legendary Yao and Shun era, agriculture was still primitive, and Hou Ji contributed to the development of agriculture (planting) at that time, so many ancient books such as The Book of Songs, Sheng Min, Shangshu Shundian, Historical Records and Zhou Benji praised and recorded his achievements. Therefore, in the Western Zhou Dynasty (BC 1 1 century-BC 77 1 year), the agricultural official was called Hou Ji.
Houyi: Also known as "Houyi", it is said that Dongyi people in Xia Dynasty were the leaders of a poor family and were good at archery. At that time, Taikang, the son of Qi State, the king of Xia, was addicted to amusement hunting, didn't care about political affairs, and was hunted by Hou Yi. After Taikang's death, Hou Yi made Zhong Kang, Taikang's younger brother, King Xia, and the real power was held by Hou Yi. But Hou Yi only cares about hunting in all directions. Later he was killed by his best friend Han Zhuo. According to the myth, Hou Yi is the husband of Chang 'e. When Hou Yi is here. There are ten suns in the sky, burning vegetation and scorching crops. In order to save the people, Hou Yi shot nine suns in a row. Since then, the climate has been suitable and everything has grown. He also shot wild animals and poisonous snakes to kill people. Therefore, people regard him as "the God of Arrows".
Houzhu: The original surname Houzhu, named Chu, was born in Qi (now Shandong) at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius and devoted himself to spreading Confucianism. In the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Ying Qiubo was named, and Hou Jiaodong was also named in the Song Dynasty.
Hou Min: A scholar in the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to a scholar in Yongle, and his official position is only the post of Shaanxi Foreign Minister. He is honest and kind, calm and comfortable, and diligent and responsible in political affairs.
And Hou Qi: The two painters in the Qing Dynasty were both local idle people. It is conceivable that the idle Hou family at that time advocated elegance and loved painting and calligraphy.
