The third day of "Cao Quan Monument". Today I used a magnifying glass to look at the copybook. The six characters were really different in size!
This Cao Quan, "he first built the Zhou Dynasty's armor", "Gai" is an adverb in ancient Chinese, which means speculation, equivalent to "probably"; "Gai" is the head protection of ancient soldiers The armor is similar to a helmet. Because it is often used with body-protecting armor, the term "armor" has become a general term for protective equipment in ancient China, and by extension means the descendants of emperors or nobles who are protected.
Haha, it is said that my family’s surname may come from the surname Ji. Ji is the surname of the Yellow Emperor and the national surname of the Zhou Dynasty. Anyway, it is "probably". Can I also say "build the Zhou Dynasty's armor" or "build the Yellow Emperor's armor" in the future?
However, as an ancient surname, the surname Ji is said to have directly inspired 411 surnames, accounting for 82 of the total 504 surnames in "Hundred Family Surnames". There are countless surnames derived from these 411 surnames. The surname Ji He is truly the "ancestor of all surnames", so it is very likely that everyone comes from the same surname and are truly "descendants of Yan and Huang".
