At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, according to historical records, in the twenty-fourth year of Lu (5 18 BC), Confucius visited Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and asked the mysterious Laozi about the ceremony. Later, the power of Lu fell into the hands of Shi He's uncle, and the monarch of Lu became their puppet. Confucius set up private schools around. Confucius was 30 years old: in 522 BC (the twentieth year of Emperor Lu Zhaodi), he was interested in learning since he was 15 years old, and now he has been 15 years old. Confucius gained a firm foothold in society through hard work, so the cloud "stands at thirty." ("The Analects? For politics ")
First, the male surname is said to come from Lu's two sons, who were once made dukes.
There are two theories about the origin of public surnames. When it comes to Lu, he passed the throne to his younger brother, namely Lu, and named Lu's two sons as dukes, known as Gong Yan and Gong Wei in the world. Later generations took "Gong" as their surname.
Peter said that because of internal strife, he wanted to destroy his family, so he and Gong Wei and other sons cut it down together. Don't want to but let Shi and uncle to support Jishi, three people together to defeat Lu. Lu had to flee to Qi with He Gong. The descendants of Gong Yan and Gong Wei are called Gong Shi.
According to Zuo Zhuan and Historical Records, Lu moved from Lu to Qi in twenty-five years and died in Ganhou in thirty-two years. In the past seven years, there was actually no monarch in Lu, and the political power was no longer in the hands, but in the hands of Ji. However, Ji did not seize the throne and become independent. He also wants to welcome Lu back to Lu. After Lu's death, Zhao Gonggong's younger brother was made king. At that time, no country had replaced the throne with a minister, and Ji did not have the courage to set this precedent. Besides, Lu is a weak country, and Ji may worry that powerful countries such as Chyi Chin and Jin Chu will use this as an excuse to attack Ji. Besides, Lu is the hometown of descendants. "The ceremony of the ceremony is in Lu" and "the ceremony of the ceremony is still adhered to". Zhou Li was a law that formulated etiquette and laws in the slave society of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The duke of Zhou made it, which is very binding to consolidate the rule of the country. Ji dare not change this etiquette easily.
Zuozhuan? Twenty-nine years of Zhao Gong (5 13 BC): "The public gave the public a lamb fur, so that the dragon offered it to assist the Duke of Qi, and then the lamb fur was given. Qihouxi, with its sunshine valley. Gong Yan and Volkswagen were born, and their mother came out together. "Mother of the masses", said Mr. Gong Yan, "Please tell me about that stage. "On the third day, Xiong made a living, and his mother sued him first. Xiong was his brother. Both public and private are happy in Yanggu, and Silu said, "It is also a disaster for servants. And later became brothers, falsely accused for a long time. Awkward, and the eldest son. "It seems that when Lu Dinggong was sealed, Lu Zhaogong's two sons should be in Qi rather than Lu, and the descendants of Yan Gong and Gong in later generations all took the ancestral title" Gong "as their surname.
In addition, there were many compound surnames in ancient times, which were mostly simplified to public surnames in the historical evolution. Such as: CCBA, Gong Wei, Gonghua, Shen Gong, Meng Gong, Known, Gongfu, Openness, Gonggu, Official Document, Morality, Gongliang, Gongsun, Bus, Gong Jin, Gongdu, Gong Jian, Gongshan, Gong Zu, Gongbin, Justice, Gongbo, Gonglian, Company and Gongdu.
