A probe into the origin of the surname "Gong"

About Gong's family background, the records in ancient books are consistent. For example, "Dialectics of Ancient and Modern Surnames" points out: "* * families take refuge first, dragons are public, and Han has public interests"; "Family Name Compilation" pointed out: "After work, there are * * * and Gong Er"; The Genealogy of Wanxing also pointed out: "Gong was formerly a surname of * * *, and the refuge and dragon was Gong, looking out of Wuling." On Monday, Minister Huang Di * * * did the work of water and soil, and the dragons in other hospitals followed their duties, and the public followed their duties. Accordingly, Gong's family background is composed of the official positions and names of his ancestors.

The Gong family originated from the ancient Gong family, which is beyond doubt from the above literature. At the same time, in the past thousands of years, they have never been found to be borne by foreigners or foreign surnames. Therefore, the Gong family can be said to be a large family with simple family background. All people surnamed Gong are family, no matter where they live, regardless of each other. Of course, the theory of marriage between men and women surnamed Gong has never been allowed.

* * * The Gong family was a prominent family in ancient times, almost comparable to the surname of the Yellow Emperor Ji. More than 4,000 years ago, they were listed as one of the so-called "Four Fierces" and were exiled to Hebei and Liaoning by the sage Yu Shun, and began to take the word "* * *" as the surname of the whole family. Then a few years later, in order to avoid making enemies, they cleverly changed their surnames, and some added three drops of water to the left of the original surname "* * *", which became Hong's; Others add a dragon to the word * * * to become Gong. Although the two surnames are very different in appearance, they both contain the word "* * *", which fully shows their unforgettable origin and clearly shows where they come from. This is really great.

From this perspective, Gong and Hong, two household names, have always been a big family with a long history in China. In fact, they are basically a family, and they are very close!

Gong Jia, like Hong Jia, has been a breeding center in southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi for more than 2000 years, and moved to Fujian and Guangdong very early. This can be found in many concrete evidences of history.

"Er Gong" is very famous in history, which is known to all scholars. It refers to two famous scholars in the Han Dynasty, Gong Xin and Gong Sheng, and these two scholars have always loved them. They were from Wuyuan and Pengcheng, Jiangsu Province during the reign of Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty about 2000 years ago. It can be seen that Gong has a long history in Jiangsu.

Gong Xin is a scholar who is proficient in Lu poetry, and his reputation is far spread. Emperor Han Ai called him out to be an official again and again, but he refused three times and twice. Even the emperor specially sent envoys to ask him to be the Taishou of Mount Tai, and in less than a few months, he was begging for bones. Later, he was worshipped as a doctor with a high status, but he refused to accept it, treating wealth as a cloud and setting an immortal example for later scholars.

Gong Sheng is also famous for its studious Ming classics and lofty festivals. Although he was once called Dr. Guanglu when Emperor Ai was in the Han Dynasty, he quietly retired from the village when Wang Mang was in power. Later, Wang Mang usurped the country, saying that he was lonely and admired Gong Sheng's high name. I used to work in Yinsui, preparing cars, and respectfully worshipped as Shangqing. However, he died of hunger strike in the exclamation of "I have received Han Daen, how can I have a second surname?"
