The surname Weng is not a common surname in China, but it is also one of the older surnames in China.
Origin of the surname Weng:
It is said that the surname Weng comes from the surname Ji - the national surname of the Zhou Dynasty. There are roughly three theories:
1. The surname was derived from the place: King Zhao of Zhou granted his concubine the title of Weng, and after the fall of the country, his descendants took the place as their surname.
2. Legend has it that when the concubine of King Zhao of Zhou was born, his hands were clenched in fists. Others could not open them, but King Zhao could open them. After King Zhao opened them, he saw that the left palm of the newborn child looked like the word "公" in seal script, and the right palm of the newborn's right palm looked like the word "公" in seal script. If the pattern resembles the word "Yu", the son will be named "Weng". Later, Weng's descendants will take his name as their surname (ancient books say "the surname is named after Wangfu").
3. The beginning of the ancient Xia Dynasty During the Jian period, Qi was the king of Xia. At that time, there was a nobleman named Weng Nanyi. According to legend, he was the oldest ancestor of the Weng family.

"Liu Guitang" is a very famous name, referring to the six surnames of Hong, Jiang, Weng, Fang, Gong and Wang in the Fujian and Guangdong areas of the south. Although these six families have completely different surnames, they are actually from the same family, so they have always used the name "Liu Guitang" for thousands of years. We are dear and sincere, regardless of each other.
"Liu Guitang" appeared in the early years of the Song Dynasty about 1,000 years ago, and tracing back to its origins, all of them are descendants of the Weng family. The origins are extremely glorious to mention, because their origins can be traced back to the sage king Zhou Wen for more than 3,000 years, and he is the most proud descendant of the Yellow Emperor Ji.
Everyone knows about the origins of the Weng family. The textual research of an ancient book is exactly the same. For example, the book "Surname Collection" points out: "The concubine of King Zhao of Zhou ate food from Wengshan, because he took it as his surname"; the "Text of Surnames" also pointed out: "The concubine of King Zhao of Zhou ate food. When I was in Wengshan, I looked out to Qiantang because of my family name. ”
It can be seen that the Weng family roughly began during the reign of King Zhao of the Western Zhou Dynasty between 1052 and 1002 BC. King Zhou Zhao was the great-grandson of King Wu of Zhou, and the ancestor of the Weng family was the son of King Zhao of Zhou. In this way, the origin of the Weng family is more clear.
The Weng family, a descendant of King Wen of Zhou 3,000 years ago, has always been proud and cheerful in history. You can find many of this. There are many concrete evidences. For example, Weng Bo was a rich man who was listed in the "Historical Records of Huo Zhi Zhuan" and became rich by selling fat. A "Poem on Dead Wood" declined the call from the imperial court and has been passed down as a legend for thousands of years.
In the late Manchu Dynasty, the thoughtful and promising Emperor Guangxu had a "master" named Weng Tonghe. He is one of the familiar historical figures. He was a central figure in Emperor Guangxu's implementation of the New Deal and was highly respected by future generations.
