So the surname Deng ranks 34th!! It’s okay!
The origin of the surname Deng:
As early as the reign of Emperors Yan and Huang, a man named after Deng (Deng) Ancient tribes have already appeared in today's Dengzhou area. The leader of this tribe, Deng Bowen, joined the tribal alliance in the Central Plains during the reign of the Yellow Emperor and followed the Yellow Emperor to fight Chi You in the wilderness of Zhuolu. In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Xia King Zhongkang enfeoffed his son to Dengdi.
The descendants of the Yellow Emperor were originally named Ji.
Although the surname Deng also belongs to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, because the surname originated from the system of emperor Ku's son contract, people think that the surname Deng originated from the surname Zi.
Qi gives birth to Zhaoming, Zhaoming gives birth to Xiangtu, Xiangtu gives birth to Cao Yu (pronounced, Yu), Cao Yu gives birth to Ming, Ming produces vibration, vibration produces Wei, Wei produces Yi, Bao Yi gives birth to C, Bao Yi Bing was born in Ren, and he married a wife named Fudu. Fudu saw white air penetrating the moon, and was inspired by Tianyi, which was called Chengtang. Cheng Tang became the Holy King and founded the Shang Dynasty.
After entering the Shang Dynasty, Shang King Wu Ding enfeoffed his uncle to Deng land and established the Deng State. "Lu Shi·Houji Jiu" records: "At the beginning, Wu Ding granted his uncle Man in Hebei Province, and called him Marquis of Man. There were Man family, Man family, etc. You and Deng Qi came out." "Shiben" said: Gaozong Wuding " I granted my uncle the title of Marquis of Deng in Hebei, and later Yin's surname was Yan."
In the 19th century of Cheng Tang's biography, Xiao Yi's son Wu Ding was a pioneering monarch who greatly expanded the territory of the Shang Dynasty.
Wu Ding occupied the area of ??present-day Henan Province and enfeoffed many small princely states between the Han River and the Huai River. Wu Ding named his uncle Manji near what is now Nanyang City, Henan Province, and called the place Deng. Manji founded the country between Zhaoling in Yingchuan, and the country was named Deng State. Therefore, Manji is the ancient ancestor of the surname Deng. (The place of Deng State is in today's Nanyang City, Henan Province. After the Qin Dynasty, it was called Deng County, which belonged to Nanyang County. In the Sui Dynasty, the county was changed to a state, and the place where Deng County is located was called Dengzhou.)
After the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zhuang of Zheng Both the wife of King Wu of Chu and the Deng family were daughters of the Deng family, and they actively participated in national political affairs, showing high knowledge and talents, and demonstrating the rich cultural heritage of the Deng country. "Spring and Autumn Period: The Seventh Year of Duke Huan" records: "Denghou Wuli came to the DPRK." Denghou went to Lu for a state visit. This was a major diplomatic event. Through the visit to Lu, Deng's political status among the countries of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was improved.
In the seventeenth year of King Huan of Zhou Dynasty (703 BC), Daoshuo, the envoy from Chu State to Deng State, and another envoy from Ba State were attacked by (Xia) (you) people in the southern border of Deng State. They were attacked, property was looted, and people were killed. The King of Chu was furious when he heard the news and sent Doulian to lead the Chu-Ba coalition to attack the country of Xia. When Deng knew about it, he sent his nephews and nephews to lead troops to assist the (Xia) country, and the "Battle of Chuba and Deng" broke out. After three advances and retreats, the Chuba coalition used the tactics of flanking attacks to defeat Deng. This was the earliest war that took place in Xiangfan since written records began.
Fifteen years later, when King Wen of Chu led his army to attack the states of Shen and Lu via Deng State, Deng Guohou, the uncle of King Wen, hosted a banquet in honor of his powerful nephew. At this time, a group of officials in the state of Deng, represented by nephews, nephews, and adopted nephews, strongly advocated taking the opportunity to kill King Wen of Chu. But Marquis Deng was stubborn and refused to listen to advice. As a result, Chu Fashen attacked Deng State that year when he returned. The state of Deng was finally destroyed by the state of Chu. After the fall of the country, the descendants of Deng Hou and the people of Deng State changed their surnames to Deng one after another in order to commemorate Deng State. For example, Deng Hule served as a minister in the Zhou court, Deng Liao served as a good minister in Chu, and Deng Ji served as a wise official in Wu.
