Rao's surname comes from three sources:
1, from the surname Jiang, takes the city name as the surname. According to "Identification of Surnames", during the Warring States Period, Zhao mourned Xiang Wang and established Chang 'an in Rao (now Raoyang, Hebei). The descendants of Chang 'an took their ancestral fiefs as their surnames, which was called Rao's.
2. It was also named after Feng Yi. According to the dialectics of ancient and modern surnames, during the Warring States period, a doctor in Qi was appointed to Rao (now Qingzhou City, Shandong Province). His descendants then took the feudal city as their surname and called it Rao's. Noble families come from Pingyang and Linchuan.
3. From the descendant Gui, taking the country name as the surname. Formerly known as Yao, it was named after living in Guangxi. The surnames of the main branches of Shun Di have undergone many changes. Shang Jun and Sui Yu are the new surnames in Xia and Shang Dynasties. According to the Origin of Surnames: "After Yao and Shun. The descendants of Shun took Rao as their family name, and later they took the surname. " According to the research of hundreds of surnames, the Shang Dynasty was sealed in Rao, and later generations took the country as their surname, also known as Rao.
Surname ancestor: Shang Jun has three versions about the origin of Rao surname. The first view is that Rao's family originated in ancient Raoyang. Raoyang was a city of Zhao in the Warring States Period. According to the history book "Zhao", after six years of mourning, Chang Anjun was spared and Emperor Gaozu unified the world. When the county system was implemented, it was changed to Raoyang County, which is now Raoyang County, Hebei Province. Rao, from Raoyang, Hebei. Second, according to Dialectics of Surnames in Ancient and Modern Times, Rao's surname comes from Jiang's surname. During the Warring States Period, a doctor in the State of Qi collected food from Rao Yi in Qingzhou, Shandong. His grandson took the city as his surname, named Rao, and the famous family came from Pingyang and Linchuan. Thirdly, according to the records in the Textual Research of Hundred Family Names, Rao's family came from Gui's family and was sealed in Rao. Later generations took the country as their surname, also known as Rao's family. Therefore, Rao has a history of at least 2,200 years in China, and it is an ancient surname. Noble families live in Pingyang County, which is now southwest of Linfen County, Shanxi Province. Rao's descendants are all Rao's ancestors.
Second, migration distribution.
Rao's surname is not in the top 100 in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province province. The original birthplace of Rao family was Raoyang in ancient times. Speaking of Raoyang, it has a long history and was a city of Zhao in the Warring States Period. "Historical Records" Zhao has a saying: "After six years of mourning, Chang 'an was named Emperor". When Emperor Gaozu unified the world and implemented the county system, Rao Yi was changed to Raoyang County, which has continued to this day. Now, this place belongs to a county in Hebei Province. The origin of the Rao family originated in Raoyang, Hebei Province, which is clearly recorded in the book Discrimination of Surnames. The book points out: "In the Warring States period, there were those who ate from forgiveness, and later generations took Yi as their surname, Pingyang and Linchuan". However, the "Examination of Hundred Family Names" said: "It is the Gui family, and the merchants are all sealed in Rao, and then the country is the surname. "In other words, the Rao family has a history of at least 2,200 years and is a very old family. Coincidentally, the Rao family, which originated in Raoyang, Hebei Province, later flourished in Raozhou, Jiangxi Province, causing people to mistakenly think that Rao was born and raised in Raozhou. For the Rao family, this is really an interesting development process. The Rao family took Jiangxi as the breeding center, which began as early as the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Rao Tingzhi, a native of Chengnan, Jiangxi Province, was a scholar and official of Baidengzhou. Since then, there have been countless figures named Rao in Jiangxi, such as Rao Lu, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, which is the most obvious example. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Rao family also moved south to Fujian and Guangdong. The following documents can explain their migration to the south-"Rao's Genealogy Begins to Rebuild Pingyang Hall": His ancestors were afraid ... He was from Raopoyang ... He was an official in Tang Dezong (780-804) and lived in Cheng Nan (Guangxinlou) at night ... He was killed after giving birth to five children, and his migration was impermanent and could not be all. " Chongzheng genealogy is Rao's article "At the end of the Song Dynasty, Shiro, who lives in Yongfeng, was born in Tuguan, Tingzhou, Fujian, and lived in Bajiaolou, Tingzhou. Shiro moved back to Shenquan Township, Chaozhen, which is now Tai Po. "Therefore, the Rao family, which flourished in Fujian and Guangdong in recent years, also migrated from Jiangxi. They moved from Jiangxi to Fujian and Guangdong, and multiplied in Shaowu and Shaxian in Fujian, becoming famous local surnames. The grand occasion of Rao in Shaowu and Shaxian in Fujian during the Song Dynasty, as well as the deeds of Rao Gan and Rao Song, can be explained-Rao Gan was a Shaowu man at that time, and now he is a scholar, who knows something in Changsha County and has made outstanding achievements; Rao Song, a famous Taoist teacher, is from Shaxian County. It is said that when he was a teenager, he went into the mountains to collect firewood, met strangers, learned magical powers, and finally settled in Pishan, becoming one of the many gods in China. In addition to Linchuan, Rao's family flourished in other places in Jiangxi, such as Rao Yannian and Rao Zusun of Chongren in the Song Dynasty. Rao Bingcheng, governor of Guangchang in Ming Dynasty, Rao Wei, brother Rao Shen, and Rao Li, all famous figures.
