Speaking of China's first surname, it can be said that different people have different opinions. The Hundred Family Names compiled by a scholar in Qiantang (Hangzhou) in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty has spread to this day and has far-reaching influence. Because the surname of the monarch in the Song Dynasty is "Zhao", "Zhao" is listed as the first; You don't know, three-year-old children all know, "Qian Sun Zhao Li, Wu Zhou Zheng Wang. ......
Last name? Since ancient times, Chinese descendants have used surnames as a symbol of family continuity. The surname is a racial number, and the surname is a branch of the surname. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, surnames and surnames have become one.
From ancient times to the present, China's first surname should be "Feng". The surname "Feng" was passed down from generation to generation by Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind. More than 6,500 years ago, Fuxi led people to Puyang, Henan Province, where they thrived. He stipulated the surname and established the marriage system.
Some people named "Ji" as the first surname of China, and the reason actually came from Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation! The leader of the Yellow Emperor's ancient Huaxia Tribal Alliance, the * * * Lord of the ancient Chinese nation in China, whose real name was Gongsun, was later changed to Ji, who lived in the hill of Xuanyuan and was named Xuanyuan. The history of the Yellow Emperor shows that it has ten virtues and ten is yellow, so it is called the Yellow Emperor.
The strangest thing is that some people even call "Xuanyuan" the first surname of China. My first understanding of "Xuanyuan" came from Lu Xun's seven-character quatrain "Self-titled Portrait":
There is no way to escape the arrow in GV, and the wind and rain are like police, and the land is dark.
I don't pay attention to the stem of Hanxing, I want to recommend Xuanyuan with blood.
In this poem, the annotation about "Xuanyuan" is: Xuanyuan: Huangdi, the leader of the clan gang in ancient legend. Historical records show that the history of China began with the Yellow Emperor. Huangdi's surname is Xuanyuan, so Huangdi Xuanyuan is called the ancestor of Han nationality, which is extended to "Chinese nation" or "China".
Xuanyuan, known as "the first surname in the world", is closely related to the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan Mountain, hence the name Xuanyuan. In terms of blood, although there are gongsun surnames and Ji surnames, Xuanyuan's direct line, or simplified Xuanyuan surnames, is the most authentic direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
Xuanyuan's ancestor is the Yellow Emperor, and Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan have the same root. It is recorded in the historical books "Surname Three" and "Surname Yuan": "Xuan's family, Yuan's family and Yuan's family are all after the Yellow Emperor." For example, in Changgang Town, Sui County, Xuanyuan Laojia Village is called Xuanjia for short, and some local people named Xuanyuan are also called Xuanjia for short.
The Summary of China Xuanyuan Surname Culture Seminar contains: "Regarding the genealogy of surnames, it is believed that Xuanyuan and Xing Xuan are both ancestors of Xuanyuan, so both surnames are of the same clan and origin, and they cross each other in history. It can be considered that Xing Xuan is the simple surname of Xuanyuan. "
