Origin of Guan surname

It originated from Mi's family, and originated from the late Warring States period. The sage of Chu took his ancestor's name as his surname. Guan Guan, an ancient sage, is also called Guan Guan in many historical records. He was a great scholar of Chu from the late Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period, and was called a saint by the world. He was one of the representatives of the ecliptic from the end of the Warring States to the pre-Qin period. There is a record of Guo Guanzi in the history book Han Shu Literature and Art, but there is only one. Later, there were three volumes of Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi. In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu wrote sixteen clouds of Reading Guanzi, and in the Song Dynasty, Lu Dian made a note and preface nineteen clouds. Today, there are three volumes 19 articles. Since the Qing Dynasty, many scholars believe that this version of Guanzi is a combination of a Taoist work Guanzi and two military works Pang Yi recorded in Hanshu. Therefore, this edition of Guo Guanzi is divided into three volumes 19, which may be a section in the original text, and later became a separate article. Lu Dian, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, once said that Guan Zi "refutes his way, writing a book at the beginning of yellow and old, and at the end of it, he was punished."

Guo Guanzi regarded morality, yin and yang, dharma, celestial officials, talismans, geisha, human feelings, weapons and soldiers as "nine ways", which showed that Guo Guanzi was based on Huang Lao's criminal name, yin and yang numerology and the study of military strategists, which was the characteristic of Taoist theory of Huang Lao school. It is of great reference value to study the study of Huang Lao from the late Warring States period to the pre-Qin period and even the early Western Han Dynasty. At the same time, Guo Guanzi is also a military book. It is recorded in Hanshu, Yiwenzhi, The Art of War that this book can be classified as military tactics. It is indeed recorded in Guo Guanzi's Soldiers that Zhao Haoqi fought Xiang for three years (242 BC), and Pang Xian led the army to defeat the Yan army and annihilate it. This was a famous battle at the end of the Warring States Period. Therefore, the book also has a certain position in military history.

Among the descendants of Guan Zi, there are those who take their ancestral names as their surnames, called Guan Shi, which has been passed down from generation to generation and belongs to one of the older surnames. Originated from place names, from the official towns of Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, it belongs to Juyi. According to the history book "Compilation of Surnames", "In the Spring and Autumn Period, doctors in the Jin Dynasty took the land as their surname." During the Spring and Autumn Period, the relevant towns in Jin State (now Liaocheng, Shandong Province) were located in Guanshi Town, belonging to Maozhou. Local residents take place names as their surnames, which are called Guan's.

Guan Yi was built as guanxian in Sui Dynasty, and Tang Gaozong moved its organizational system to guanxian in Tang Dynasty. But as the origin of surname, Guan has nothing to do with Guan County. Originated from the surname of Ji, it belongs to the ancestral title after Hou Huo Qubing, an ancient famous soldier and champion of the Western Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing was born in Pingyang, Hedong (now Linfen, Shanxi) from 145 BC to 165438 BC. A famous general and strategist in the Western Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing was the nephew of Wei Qing, the general of the Han Dynasty. His mother, Wei Xiaoer, was the maid of Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Gaozu Liu Che. After having an affair with Huo Zhongru, the princess of Pingyang, Huo Qubing was born. Huo Qubing died of illness in the sixth year of the Western Han Dynasty (1 17 BC) at the age of 24. People are very sad and sorry about the young star's premature death. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially ordered people to build a tomb resembling Qilian Mountain for Huo Qubing next to his tomb, and mobilized Huns in five counties, including Longxi and Beidi, to escort Huo Qubing's coffin from Chang 'an to the cemetery for burial. At his funeral, the people of Manchu writer Wu Heping saw him off from Chang 'an to the cemetery. The grand scene and rare history show how high Huo Qubing's reputation was at that time. Huo Qubing's tomb still stands beside the Mausoleum, and the stone statue of "Horse Treading Xiongnu" in front of the tomb symbolizes his immortal contribution to the country.

Among Huo Qubing's descendants and subordinates, there are many people who take the first word of his title "Champion Hou" as their surname, because they respectfully call Huo Qubing Guan, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
