Cong surname is one of the earliest surnames, pronounced as cóng.
The origin of cong surname
First, it originated from the Yi family, from which the leaders of the country followed during the period of Emperor Yao, and was named after their ancestors. According to historical records, it is said that there were four ancient countries in the ancient emperor Yao period: Chongzhi, Ao. Cong is the first to support the country, so it is called "Cong Zhi". Originally, these four ancient countries were not within the sphere of influence of Emperor Yao's alliance, but Emperor Yao was an expanding force. By conquering these four small countries, Guo became a vassal within the sphere of influence of Emperor Yao, and Cong Zhi became a subordinate of Emperor Yao. Among the descendants of Congzhi, some take their ancestral names as surnames, which are passed down from generation to generation.
Second, it originated from the Huns, from Jin Ridi, a general of the Western Han Dynasty, and was named after his residence in the city. According to historical records, Jin Ridi was the prince of the Xiongnu King Hugh Tu at that time. At the age of fourteen, he was captured by Huo Qubing, a general of the Han army, and became a groom under the court of Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, named Cong Dizhen, who was later appreciated by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Jin Ridi assisted Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty and was named Hou. Later, Jin Ridi's descendants moved to Congjia County one after another, so they took the word "Cong" in Congjia County as their surname and passed it down from generation to generation.
Third, it comes from place names, from the name of Zhao Congtai in the Warring States period, and belongs to the name of Juyi. During the Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Mei was deeply victimized by traitors. After his son Mei Liangyu escaped, he became a servant of Chen Dongchu's family. Chen Dongchu and Mei were close friends in the same year. When Chen Dongchu learned that Mei Liangyu was Mei's son, he wanted to betroth his daughter Chen Xingyuan to him. Qilu wanted to harm Chen Dongchu, so she disguised Chen Xingyuan as Otome and married her abroad. Mei Liangyu went to see her off. They cried all the way to Handan, and the two of them climbed onto the platform hand in hand, so they cried goodbye. Among the descendants of Mei Liangyu, Cong Tai is the surname, which is called Cong Shi and passed down from generation to generation.
