comes from the surname Ji. The surname Yang comes from the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty after the Yellow Emperor. According to Lin Bao's Compilation of Yuanhe Surname in Tang Dynasty and Zheng Qiao's Annals of Clans in Song Dynasty, Yang's surname originated from Ji's surname, and it originated from Yang State in Shanxi (now southeast of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province). In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Wang proclaimed his brother Shuyu's territory in the southwest of Shanxi Province today, and made his capital in the Tang Dynasty (west of Yicheng County in Shanxi Province today), which was the marquis of Tang Dynasty. Because the Tang Dynasty was near the Jin River, it was a country of Jin (vassal), and Shu Yu was the king of the founding of Jin. By the Spring and Autumn Period, there was civil strife in the State of Jin, and Duke Wu of Jin (the tenth grandson of Shu Yu's descendant Ji Wang Xie, the ninth generation of Junyi in the Western Zhou Dynasty) destroyed Hou and unified the State of Jin. After Wu Gong's death, his eldest son, Jin Xiangong, succeeded to the throne. Dedication to the public has destroyed the surrounding small countries, including Yang. Offering the public to seal the land of his second brother, Bo Qiao, to Yang, and taking the surname from the land is Yang's surname. From this, Boqiao became the ancestor of Yang's surname, about 26 years ago. Another said: "Zhou Xuanwang (Ji Jing, also known as Jing) had a son who respected his father, and when he was a king, he was named Yang Hou, which was destroyed by Jin, and then was Shi Yan (in ancient times," Yang "passed" Yang ") It means that Xuanwang's youngest son is still his father, and his brother Youwang sealed his land in Yang and built Yang (vassal) country. Yang was destroyed by Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his descendants took Yang as their surname. The origin of Yang's surname is about 26 years ago. According to Records of the Historical Records of the Jin Family and the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister's Pedigree Table, after the destruction of Yang in Jin Dynasty, Yang was sealed as the food city of the doctor's tongue. Sheep tongue was born out of Ji's surname, because the grandson of Boqiao, the second son of Duke Wu of Jin, lived in sheep tongue at that time, so he took sheep tongue as his surname. In the 12th year of Jin Qinggong (514 BC), the clan of Yangsheshi (whose son was named Boshi), which was increasingly powerful, was wiped out. The son of Boshi fled to the original location of Bi State (now the fief of the descendants of Ji Chang, Zhou Wenwang, north of Xi 'an, Xianyang), and took Yang, the ancestor fief, as his surname. In history, this surname Yang is the authentic source of Yang, which is about 25 years ago. Its descendants settled in Hongnong and Huayin (northwest of Henan and downstream of Weihe River in eastern Shaanxi) and thrived, so Huayin became the county name of Yang. After Qin and Han Dynasties, many branches of the Yang Sect spread all over the country originated from Hongnong and Huayin in Kansai (west of Tongguan). Yang's surname originated in the State of Jin, and at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Six Nobles of the State of Jin gradually became strong. In the middle of the 4th century BC (before 368 BC), the State of Jin was divided into three kingdoms, namely, Korea, Zhao and Wei, which was called "Sanjin" in history. Therefore, there is a saying that Yang's surname "originated from Sanjin, hoping to promote agriculture". But a few words can prove that Yang's surname comes from Ji's surname.
in addition, there are three theories, and no matter which one, its source is the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. Ji's surname Yang is the mainstream of all Yang's.
