The Wen family originated from the Duke of Jin in the Zhou Dynasty, and the seat of the State of Jin at that time was now Shanxi Province.
The Wen family originated from the Duke of Jin, and there was indeed conclusive evidence in the ancient books about surnames in the past. For example, Guang Yun pointed out: "After Tang Shuyu, it was sealed in Hanoi because of its name; However, food is collected in the warm season, which is also called the warm season. Because of home, I went out of Taiyuan "; In addition, the surname code also pointed out: "After that, Jin people were given warm seals in Hanoi because of their family names"; "Wan's General Spectrum" records in more detail: "But the grain was collected in Wen, also known as Moon Hee, and the hero of the Han Dynasty was Wen Mang, who was a marquis, once in Sunhe, and later moved to Jixian and Qinghe."
As can be seen from the above literature, there are two mainstream schools of Wen originated in Shanxi. One is from Tang Shuyu. One is a descendant of Quezhi. Tang Shuyu is Zhou Chengwang's younger brother. When the Duke of Fuzheng annexed the Tang State, he was sealed in the Tang State because of "Tung Ye Xi". Later, it developed into A Jin, which once ruled the vassals in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, he was also a famous person in the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a doctor with high power from generation to generation. It can be seen that the current Wen family, no matter which branch, has a very brilliant family origin.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a "Wenxin Monument" inscribed as "Zhuan Xu Origin" for Wenxin's life experience, which should be traced back to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor Ji. In this way, the text has a long history.
The organization of the text is actually very complicated. Besides the origin of Tang Shuyu and Que mentioned above, at least five different factions joined in after the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This situation is clearly recorded in Tang Shu and Wei Zhi. The former pointed out: "Tang lived in wang xing. Liu Yicong's son ㄒ, Liu Lingbiao, exempted from returning, changed his surname to Wen "; The latter pointed out: "Chi Wen, Wen pen, all changed the text."
It can be seen that the origin of the Wen family has many branches. Some came from the past, some from the past, and Liu changed his surname. By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many ethnic groups were mixed in it. The organization of the whole family is so huge and complicated. At present, for people surnamed Wen, it is probably troublesome to trace back what they really did.
The spread of the Wen family to the south began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and flourished in the Huang Chao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty. About the general situation of their migration to the south, there is a document that can be used for reference-"Xingning Paper Money": "Their family originated in Shanxi and Henan ... the Eastern Jin Dynasty was arrested, and Huaidi was captured by Liu Yuan ... first Wen Qiao, then Liu? The recording room emperor Jinyuan crossed the river ... Feng Feng? Life, the above table advised "; Chongzheng's pedigree is literary: "Later, he left Hongdu Town, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and later generations went to Jiulang because of his family. Because I avoided the chaos in Huang Chao, I avoided Minnan. " In addition, the above two Wen genealogies also pointed out: "After that, there was Juninghua, and at the end of the Song Dynasty, it fled to Shanghang and was divided into two branches. One entered Jiaoling, Meixian and Tai Po in Guangdong; Once in Xingning, Guangdong, to Heyuan. "
According to the above literature, we can know that the Wen family in the south is also a descendant of Wen Qiao, a famous minister of the Jin Dynasty who went to/kloc-0 more than 600 years ago. At that time, Wen Qiao Juzu settled in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and future generations flourished in this area. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, they moved to Fujian to escape the rebellion in Huang Chao. At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Mongols threatened, and the Wen family in Fujian fled to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province via Changting, and divided into two branches, which successively arrived in various parts of Guangdong Province and continued to thrive.
