1. The origin of the surname Wang
It comes from the surname Ji.
Ji Jin, the crown prince of Zhou Ling, made the king furious because of his outspoken advice. He was deposed as a commoner and moved to Langya (today's Jiaonan area, Shandong Province), where he thrived for generations. Because they were originally from a royal family, the world called them the "Wang family", and they continued to use the surname Cheng.
There is also Bi Gonggao, the fifteenth son of King Wen of Zhou. His descendants were scattered in the Jingzhao and Hejian areas for some reasons. Because they were originally from the royal family, they called themselves Wang. The surname was inherited unchanged by later generations and gradually became a popular surname.
2. The surname Gui comes from the ancient emperor Yu Shun, who lived in the Beihai and Chenliu areas. It is derived from the descendants of ancient kings, and the surname is Wang. 3. Comes from the surname Zi, a descendant of Chengtang.
In the late Yin Dynasty, Prince Bigan, the elder brother of King Zhou, was killed for admonishing King Zhou and was buried in Ji County. His descendants lived there to guard the tomb. Because it originated from the royal family, the surname was changed to Wang.
4. Comes from the surname Tian. In 368 BC, Tian He replaced the surname Jiang as the monarch of Qi. It was called "Tian's generation of Qi" in history. It was passed down to eight kings and was destroyed by Qin. His descendants were deposed as common people. One of them considered themselves the royal family of Qi, so they Take Wang as the surname.
5. It comes from after Wei Xianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period. The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin and each became king.
Later Wei died in Qin, and its royal family took refuge in various places. Because many of them were descendants of the king of Wei, they changed their surname to Wang.
For example, Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, took refuge in Mount Tai. When he entered the Western Han Dynasty, he was named Lord of Lanling. Later, he claimed that he came from a noble family and changed his surname to Wang.
6. Comes from Yan Taizi Dan. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself as the emperor.
The great-great-grandson of Prince Dan, named Jia, presented a talisman and was favored by Wang Mang. He was given the surname Wang, the same as the emperor. In history, many people were given the surname Wang, and their descendants also took Wang as their surname.
7. From ethnic minorities. According to "Tongzhi. Clan Brief": "Those with the Wang surname who came out of Henan were the Kepin clan; those who came out of Fengxu were the Xiner clan; those who came out of Yingzhou were from Gaoli; those who came from Andong were from the Ke Shibu clan.
These are all kings with the surname of Lu, and most of them are named after the king. " 8. Those who changed their surname to Wang.
For example, Wang Sengbian, a Liang general in the Southern Dynasties, was originally from the Xianbei tribe and his surname was Wuwan, and later changed his surname to Wang; in the Sui Dynasty, there was Wang Shichong, who was originally from the Hu branch of the Western Regions. After entering the Central Plains, he also changed his surname to Wang. The surname was changed to Wang; during the Five Dynasties, Liu Qufei changed his name to Wang Baoyi, and his descendants inherited the surname Wang; some of the Manchu Wanyan family changed their surname to Wang; and the Mongolian Yelu family also changed their surname to Wang. There are five main sources of the surname Wang: 1. It comes from the surname Ji, from which three clans with the surname Ji that constitute the main body of the Wang family are derived: 1. Descendants of Bi Gonggao, the fifteenth son of King Wen of Zhou.
According to "Tongzhi Clan Briefing" and "New Book of Tang Dynasty Genealogy List of Prime Ministers", Bi Gonggao was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, he was granted the title of Bi (now northwest of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province). , was a duke, so he was called Bi Gonggao in history. In the Spring and Autumn Period, his grandson Bi Wan left Bi State and went to Jin Dynasty. He became a Situ and was entrusted to Wei. He passed it to Wei Wenhousi and divided Jin State with Zhao and Han.
It was destroyed by Qin in 225 BC, and its descendants were scattered in all directions. Because they were kings, they were all called the Wang family. The surname Ji was a famous and common surname in the pre-Qin period. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the surname Ji dominated the world for three and a half centuries in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The ancestor of the surname Ji is Houji recorded in historical records. Legend has it that Hou Ji's mother was named Jiang Yuan. Once she went to the wild and saw a huge human footprint. She was very curious because she had never seen such a huge footprint.
She walked over and stepped on the huge footprints, wanting to see how much bigger it was than her own feet. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant after stepping on it, and later gave birth to a boy.
Jiang originally thought that the boy was not a good omen, so he threw him on the street, hoping that the passing cows and horses would trample him to death. Unexpectedly, when the cows and horses saw the child, they all took a detour.
Jiang Yuan wanted to throw him in the forest again, but there were people everywhere she went, so she failed. Finally, Jiang Yuan came to a canal. It was winter and the water in the canal was frozen. Jiang Yuan put him on the ice and wanted to freeze him to death.
At this moment, another big bird flew over. It lay on the ice and used its huge wings to protect the child.
Jiang originally thought that the child was protected by gods and was not an ordinary person, so he gave up the plan of abandoning him and took him home to raise him.
Because this child was abandoned, the child's name was abandoned. Because he was good at growing grains, Qi was promoted to be a farmer during the reign of Emperor Yao.
After Shun succeeded to the throne, he was granted the title of Houji in Tai (southwest of today's Wugong County, Shaanxi Province), and his surname was Ji. In the third generation after Hou Ji, a man named Gong Liu came out of the Ji tribe, which made the Ji tribe develop rapidly.
This was the early stage of the establishment of the Yin and Shang dynasties. In the ninth generation after Gong Liu, another man named Gu Gong (trembling-page) father emerged from the Ji tribe.
At that time, the local Rongdi people often invaded the Ji tribe. In order to avoid conflicts with them, Gu Gong (trembling-page) father led the tribe from Bin (now southwest of Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province) Migrated to the foot of Qishan (now northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). Ancient Gong Xuanfu led the tribe to build cities and houses here, and established a bureaucracy to manage tribal affairs, thus achieving the scale of a country.
The grandson of Gu Gong is the famous King Wen of Zhou Jichang in history. At that time, it was during the brutal rule of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. Ji Chang was very benevolent and polite to virtuous officials, which was in sharp contrast to him.
Ji Zhou's power continued to develop, and he successively conquered some small surrounding countries, and moved the capital east to Fengyi (today's west bank of the Feng River in the northwest of Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province). By the time King Wu of Zhou Jifa finally overthrew the Yin Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty.
King Wu of Zhou had many brothers, one of whom was named Gao and was the 15th son of King Wen. Ji Gao played an important role in King Wu's destruction of Shang and the political life of the early Zhou Dynasty.
After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he held a solemn ceremony to enter the Shang capital. After entering the city, Ji Gao was ordered to open the prison of the Yin Shang Dynasty and release the people imprisoned there. Then he took over the Shang Dynasty's institution in charge of music and etiquette.
Therefore, when King Wu enfeoffed the princes, Ji Gao was enfeoffed in Bi (now northwest of Xianyang, Shaanxi), so he was also called Bi Gonggao. King Wu died and King Cheng was established.
When King Cheng was about to die, he summoned Duke Zhao and Duke Bi and asked them to assist Prince Zhao. When King Cheng died, Prince Zhao was established and became King Kang.
After an unknown number of generations, Bi Gonggao’s descendants lost their titles and fiefs and became commoners, and some even went to minority residential areas. Only their surname changed according to the place - Bi.
In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, one of Bi Gonggao's descendants named Bi Wan came to the Jin State, and once again made Bi Gonggao's Ji family prosperous. At that time, Duke Xian of Jin was in the State of Jin, and Bi Wan was in Jin. 2. A 300-word essay on the origin of the Wang family
Wang Dayuan brought the world to the world. The founder, Prince Jin, was born around 565 BC. He was the crown prince of Zhou Ling. His surname was Ji, his given name was Jin, his courtesy name was Zi Qiao, and he was the Yellow Emperor 42 Descendants of the dynasty, have fled to Taiyuan. When people call them royal, the people of the royal family that week. Its title comes from the surname, which means "royal queen", "imperial blood" or. Taiyuan starts because, it says, Wang Taiyuan. Later generations of the Jin Dynasty respected the crown prince as the "ancestor of the surname," and respected the Taiyuan Wang family. Prince Jin Jing established the surname as the ancestor. The queen's case was buried in Wuli North of Jinyang. It exists for their descendants, talents, such as Wang Jian (General Qin), Wang Yun (Han Mingchen), Wang Sengbian (General Nan) and Sun Wanggui (Minister of the Tang Dynasty), Wang Bo, Wang (Poet and Painter of the Tang Dynasty), Wang Shenzhi (the Five Kings), Wang Hu (Song Bingbu), etc. She has become the most prominent family in the area in Taiyuan, and the Wang family in Taiyuan has also become the ancestral home. 3. The origin of the surname "Wang"
The Chinese have had awe and lofty understanding of "Wang" for a long time. In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the word "Wang" appeared many times, and the word "Wang" was used. The frequency is very high. The character "王" was originally the outline of an axe. The big ax at that time had two sides and two edges, showing its omnipotence. Therefore, its ax mouth formed the two horizontal parts of the upper and lower parts of the character "王". The handle of the ax forms a horizontal line in the middle of the character "王". After a long period of evolution and development, the character "王" has become what it looks like in ancient official script and today's regular script. It is a tool and a weapon for fighting and killing. Whoever controls the ax has supreme power. That is why the ancestors used the ax as a symbol of power, with three horizontal lines and one vertical line. Heaven, earth, and people; one vertical link connects heaven, earth, and people. This is the non-dual theory of the "king" who is in charge of both heaven, earth, and people.
Among the various theories about the origin of the character Wang, Mr. Wu Qichang once proposed that "the original meaning of the character Wang is axe", and the character is also the pictogram of axe. Lin Yun further elaborated on this theory in his article "Speaking of the King", pointing out that in ancient times, the ax was a weapon and a torture instrument mainly used for military management. It had long been used as a symbol of military command. The king's predecessor was a military Chief. In the oracle bone rubbings collected by the Ontario Museum in Canada, the character for "王" is represented by "□", which shows that this axe-axe image is used to install a spear. It tells us that the character "王" is represented by the image of an axe-axe with the blade facing down, the spear lying horizontally, and performing the function of cutting. That is to say, "Only when the ax performs the function of cutting down, can it mean 'king'". This is what "Han Feizi" calls "the king, the one who can attack others." "Erya Commentary" says: "The king is the king." . "Six Books of Gusu": "The king has the world, and he is called the king. The emperor and the king are the same. When the Zhou Dynasty declined, all the countries pretended to be the king. Qin had the world, so he respected himself as the emperor. The Han had the world, and he was called the emperor because of the Qin system. When people with the same surname are granted the title of king, their names begin to get confusing." "Shu Hongfan": "The emperor is the parent of the people and the king of the world." The original meaning of the character Wang is "light", which is the original character of "wang". The oracle bone inscriptions are written in Da (Unknown 386), Da (Cu 1021), which resembles the shape of fire. This is based on the ancient philologists of the Qing Dynasty who interpreted it as "the prosperity of fire is called the king, and the prosperity of virtue is also called the king". Because the word "王" has been used for a long time and appeared at the same time as the earliest written characters of the Chinese nation, I searched for the earliest "王" and the earliest person with the surname "王" in China: The earliest "王" in Chinese history "Of course it should be the Yellow Emperor. He is also the leader, leader and president of the 850 clans and tribes. His title of "King of Kings" is not essentially the same as the "king" of the king we call today. different. What about the earliest people with the surname "Wang"? (It can be regarded as the origin of the surname "Wang") According to "Zhuangzi/Xiaoyaoyou": Xu You was Emperor Yao's teacher. Yao wanted to entrust Xu You with the important task of governing Kyushu, and Jie Que was Xu You's teacher. , Jie Que’s teacher is Wang Ni. Both Fuxi and Huangdi discussed Taoism with Wang Ni. Wang Ni, Jie Que, and Xu You are all from the Xiaoyao sect, and they are all elders of the immortal style. Wang Ni, like Prince Jin Wangqiao, the founder of the Wang family in Taiyuan, has the unique and mysterious atmosphere of a legendary figure. If the legendary person can be revered as the ancestor by future generations, Wang Ni can be said to be the indisputable first person of the Wang family in China. Another person with the surname Wang who appeared earlier in historical records was Wang Hai, the Mingzi of the Xia Dynasty. Because Wang Hai had a high status (prince of the Xia royal family), he was mentioned in many historical records. The existence of Wang Hai proves the argument that the royal family is the source of the Wang family. Wang Hai's lineage is clear, he is the thirty-seventh generation of the Yellow Emperor (previously, some scholars passed it as the tenth generation), and the seventh generation grandson of Xia King Dayu. Because there is no question about Wang Hai's authenticity, and his identity is indeed a "king". Therefore, there is no dispute that Wang Ni and Wang Hai came to serve together. There should be no problem in the formal first person of different generations of the Chinese Wang family (the legal first person should be Dayu, Ziqi, and Houji) ). The first person with the surname Ji Wang was none other than Wang Ye, the founder of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Tai and Gu Gong Danfu.
?id=33&type=2 (If you are interested, go and take a look) 4. The origin of the surname Wang
There are five main origins: 1. It comes from the surname Ji, forming During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor was King Wen of Zhou, and the specific ancestor was Prince Jin, the son of King Ling of Zhou. King Wen of Zhou was a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the first king of the Zhou dynasty. Prince Jin was the 22nd grandson of King Wen of Zhou. King Ling of Zhou, who reigned for 27 years, was the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was a mediocre emperor, but Prince Jin had an excellent reputation. He was gentle, loyal, intelligent and knowledgeable. He began to assist the government as the prince at a young age. Shi Kuang was a famous musician in the Spring and Autumn Period. When Jin Pinggong sent him to meet Prince Jin, he discussed the virtues of a gentleman with him. Prince Jin contacted the actions of Shun, Yu, King Wen and King Wu of Zhou and explained his understanding incisively, which made him Shi Kuang, who once persuaded Duke Ping of Jin to govern the country with "benevolence and righteousness as the basis", was sincerely convinced. Later, Prince Jin and King Ling of Zhou disagreed on flood control strategies. The loyal advice was off-putting, perhaps because Prince Jin's criticism was too harsh. King Ling of Zhou deposed Prince Jin as a commoner in anger. After Prince Jin was deposed, one can imagine his inner depression. Within three years, he died of depression. After the death of Prince Jin, he was buried in Fengshi Mountain, Yanshi City, Henan Province. Marry the wife of the Yang family. His son Zong Jing was Situ, and people at that time called him the Wang family because of his surname. 1. This Wang family with the surname Ji has descendants of Bi Gonggao, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and descendants of Taisun Chi, King of Zhou Ping, etc. 2. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Bi Gong was granted the title of Duke higher than Bi, so it was called Bi Gonggao in history.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, his grandson Bi Wan left Bi State and went to Jin Dynasty. He became a Situ and was entrusted to Wei. He passed it to Wei Wenhousi and divided Jin State with Zhao and Han. In 225 BC, it was destroyed by Qin, and its descendants were scattered. Because they were the king's descendants, they were all called the Wang family. His descendants were scattered in the Jingzhao and Hejian areas for some reasons. There was also the period after Wei Xianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period. For example, Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, took refuge in Mount Tai, entered the Western Han Dynasty, and was named Lord of Lanling. Later, he claimed that he came from a noble family and changed his surname to Wang. 3. After King Ping of Zhou Taisun Chi, King Ping reigned for more than fifty years. His prince Zhuofu died before him. Zhuo's father and son were named Chi, and they were the brothers of King Huan of Zhou. After King Ping passed away, Chi inherited the throne, but because his power was not as strong as his brother's, he was overthrown soon, and he had no choice but to flee to Jin. Because they are from a royal family, their descendants take Wang as their surname and are called the Shanxi Wang family. In addition, at the end of the Warring States Period, the descendants of Duke Huan of the Western Zhou Dynasty took the surname Wang in order to commemorate the original residence of Wangcheng after being destroyed by Qin. One theory is that it is a simplification of the surnames with titles and official positions. There are prince surnames (Dr. Zhou Zihu), Wangsun surnames (Dr. Zhou Wangsunman), Wangguan surnames (Dr. Jin Wang Guanwu), etc. Later, it was often shortened to "Wang". 2. Gui's surname is Wang. Gui's surname is Wang after the ancient emperor Yu Shun, who lived in the Beihai and Chenliu areas. Because he is a descendant of the ancient emperor, he has the surname Wang. There was also the Wang family from Tian. In 368 BC, Tian He replaced Jiang as the monarch of Qi. It was called "Tian's generation of Qi" in history. The eighth generation was destroyed by Qin, and his descendants were deposed as common people. One of the He considered himself a member of the royal family of Qi, so he took Wang as his surname. 3. The son’s surname is Wang, and he is a descendant of Chengtang. At the end of the Yin Dynasty, Prince Bigan was the uncle of King Zhou. He was killed for admonishing King Zhou and was buried in Ji County. His descendants changed their surname to Wang because they were from the royal family. 4. Granting and changing the surname to Wang. After Prince Dan of Yan, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang established a new dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Prince Dan's great-great-grandson named Jia presented a talisman and was favored by Wang Mang. He was given the surname Wang, the same as the emperor. Another edict was issued in the second year of the founding of the new dynasty (10 years): "Mingdehou Liu Gong, Lilihou Liu Jia and other thirty-two people all know the destiny of heaven, and either offer heavenly talismans, pay tribute, or arrest rebels. Jue Gongmao Yan. Zhu Liu and the thirty-two people share the same ancestor, do not give up, and give him the surname "Wang". There are many similar situations. Wang Deren of Tingzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty changed his surname to Wang because he wanted to avoid his enemies. Wang Shurong of the Qing Dynasty, whose original surname was Xie, also changed his surname to Wang. The original surname of Wang Yi'e, the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty, was Yang, and Wang Dachong, the judge of Dali, was originally surnamed Sun, but they both changed their surnames to Wang. 5. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Goryeo, Khitan, Uighur, Jurchen, Mongolian, Manchu, etc. changed their surnames to Han, and many of them changed their surnames to Wang. The Xiongnu is an ethnic minority in the north of our country. From the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were wars and peace. From the division of the northern and southern Xiongnu into the Eastern Han Dynasty and the attachment of the southern Xiongnu to the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of Huns moved further south into the Central Plains and established several political regimes. When the Huns entered the Central Plains, many of them changed their surnames to Wang during their interactions with the Han people. The Northern Wei Dynasty, founded by the Xianbei people, moved their capital here from Beiping City during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen. Many generations of Northern Xianbei people also followed here. In the 19th year of Taihe (495), Emperor Xiaowen ordered all Xianbei people to move to Luoyang. Change his place of birth to Luoyang, Henan. After his death, he will be buried in Mangshan, north of Luoyang, and his surname will be changed to Han. The Pin family can be changed to the Wei Wang family. For example, Duke Huo of the Tang Dynasty, Mao Zhong (Korea), Tang Dynasty Chengde Jiedushi Wang Wujun (Khitan), Wang Tingcuo (Uighe), the Wanyan family of the Jin Dynasty had a Han surname of Wang or Chen, as well as Mongolians and Manchus After the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were established successively.
