First, the origin of surnames
Wan's surname comes from five sources:
1, from Ji surname, with grandfather as surname. According to the genealogy, a doctor in the Zhou Dynasty was sealed in (now the south of Chaoyi in Dali County, Shaanxi Province, Ji was a vassal state, and was destroyed by Qin in 640 BC), which was called Ruibo in history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it spread to Rui Bowan, who was an official in the Zhou Dynasty. But because Ruibo Bay loved her so much, she was driven out of the country by her mother Ruijiang and lived in Weicheng (now Ruicheng, Shanxi). Her son and grandson take the word "Wan" as their surname.
2, also from the surname Ji, taking the word "Wan" of my grandfather as my surname. According to Yuanhe's canon, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor in the State of Jin named Bi Wan. Gao Hou was named Wei (now Ruicheng North, Shanxi Province, originally a vassal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was destroyed in 66 1 year BC, and was named Bi Wan), also known as Wei Wan, and his descendants took the word "Wan" from his grandfather.
3. Change his surname from his home. According to the Records of Shu Wei Guanshi, there was a compound surname Ye of Xianbei people in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After Emperor Xiaowen of Wei moved the capital to Luoyang, the word Luoyang was changed to Chinese. Represents the north (generally refers to the counties of Han and Jin and the northern part of Daizhou after the Tang Dynasty. Roughly equivalent to today's Shanxi and northern Hebei Province. ) The three-character surname Wanniuyu was changed to Shiwan. According to records, "Fang, Yue, was the prime minister of Nanzhong, and the real name of the curtain guest Zhao Fu was Fang, and later his surname was Wan". Fang Yue is a senator from Zhao Kui, Song Lizong.
4. Other sources. In history, Zhou Wuwang took "ten thousand people to conquer the world", and later some people took "ten thousand" as their surname.
5. In ancient times, there lived a man with Ye Yi in Wanniu Yushan at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. Their descendants take their place of residence as their surname and the initials "Wan" as their surname.
Ancestor: Rui Wanbo. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng named Ji Rui (now Ruicheng, Shanxi, Dali, Shaanxi) and established Ruiguo. Guo Rui is a vassal state, and its monarch is Ruibo. Ruibo spread to the Spring and Autumn Period, and Ruibowan came out. Because of his numerous concubines, his mother Rui Jiang was extremely dissatisfied and drove him to Weicheng (now Ruicheng, Shanxi). Some of his descendants took Wan as their surname and named Rui as the ancestor of Wan.
Second, migration distribution.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guo Rui occupied the area between Shanxi and Shaanxi, while Jin occupied the area around Shanxi. Therefore, the early Wan surname originated in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, which are also the main sources of the branches of Wan surname in later generations. Before the Han Dynasty, the Wan family moved to Shandong, for example, during the Warring States Period, but the two birthplaces were still the main residence of the Wan family. During the Han Dynasty, there were many surnames in Fufeng area of Shaanxi Province, so there was a county hope-Fufeng County. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were wars in the north and people who fled to the south. This migration to the south laid the foundation for the prosperity of Wan surname in the south. In addition, after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, with the implementation of the Sinicization policy, Xianbei's compound surname Tuwan was changed to a single surname Wan, which developed rapidly and formed another county-Henan County. In the Tang Dynasty, Wan surnames in Zhejiang and Anhui were more prosperous, and sometimes there was Wan Qirong in Kunshan, Zhejiang. Anhui people Wan Jingru and it runs in the family, people live in the so-called "Guangxiaoju in Chengxiao Township". After the Tang Dynasty, celebrities with the surname of Qian were everywhere, especially in the south. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, dynasties changed frequently, and ethnic minorities such as Liao, Jin and Mongolia all wanted to compete for hegemony. The war in the north led to the migration of the Wan family to the south, and the number of the Wan family in the south increased sharply. Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Tianjin and other places have thousands of scattered points. According to records, there was a large area of land in the Song Dynasty, leaving Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi); Wanzhen, out of Pingjiang (now Hunan Province); Outstanding people, out of Daye (now Hubei Province); Yuan Youwan Bangning was born in Baodi (now Tianjin). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were thousands of surnames in history, as well as thousands of surnames in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Guangxi. It can be seen that Wan's surname has set foot on the southernmost tip of the motherland, so Wan's surname crossed the ocean in the Qing Dynasty and spread in a wider field. Judging from the celebrities of Wan surname in this period, Jiangsu and Jiangxi are the most promising places for the development of Wan surname. In addition, as one of the surnames of Sophora japonica immigrants in Ming Dynasty, Wan was registered in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Shaanxi, Beijing and other places.
