Jin is a descendant of Yes, from Pengcheng, Jiangsu.
Gold is something that everyone cherishes, and the name "gold" is closely related to this treasure.
There are many sources of Jin surname, but there are two main ones: one is from Jintian family in Shao Hao, and the other is from Xiongnu prince Jin Rishidan. Their surnames are all related to gold.
Shao Hao, the son and heir of the Yellow Emperor, once ruled for 84 years, and his capital was Qufu. According to legend, he is the son of the Yellow Emperor and Luo Zu. He first established a system of attaching importance to gold with Jinde Wangjian, so he has the title of "the stone of heaven" and he has a descendant. Later, Jin was the surname, which has been used for generations. The Jin family, a descendant of the Chinese people, gradually propagated southward from their hometown in Qufu, Shandong Province and became a famous family in Pengcheng. Pengcheng is now Xuzhou in Jiangsu.
A Jin's surname originated from the Huns, but it was a long time later. The ancestor of this Jin surname, Jin Rishidan. It turned out that he was the son of Prince Hugh Tu of Xiongnu. In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty. He served the emperor for several years and never made any mistakes. Therefore, it was highly valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During his lifetime, Emperor Wudi was assisted by Huo Guangtong's testamentary edict, and he was the assistant minister who worked in the Han Dynasty. As for his surname, because he was cast as a golden man to worship heaven, the Yellow Emperor gave him the surname Jin, and his descendants were all surnamed Jin from now on. This Jin family, which was later the Jingzhao area, is now a famous family in Chang 'an.
The first surnames of the above two most important Jin surnames are all related to Jin, which shows that all surnames are traceable, not casual. The surnames of these two Jin surnames can be found in the draft of "Famous Words and deeds": "Surname code: Cheng Peng, after Shao Hao Jinshitian; See "Pass", Jing Zhao, Hou Jinri Shidan of Hanmufu, and Xiu Tuzi of Xiongnu. "
In addition, according to the research of surname, there are at least four other sources of Jin surname. The book points out: "In the Qin Dynasty, the Qiang Tusi's surname was Jin, which was found in the records of the former Qin Dynasty. Also, the surname of King Silla in the Tang Dynasty was Jin. See Uncle Tang. Again, five mountains avoid money? I changed my name to Liu Weijin. See wuyue for history. Its predecessor was Liu Luxiang, and it was also changed to Jin. See "Yuan Shi Ru Chuan". "
It can be seen that there are many foreigners who were assimilated by the Han nationality in history and later took Jin as their surname. At the same time, due to various external factors, Liu changed his surname to Jin twice. Therefore, there are so many clues about the origin of Jin surname, and it is not easy for people with Jin surname to trace their true origin now.
There are few celebrities named Jin in history. Jin Shengtan in the late Ming Dynasty was a wizard who was often hanged orally by literati. His original surname was Zhang, and later his surname was Jin. According to legend, he is arrogant and curious, reads widely, and his articles are more refined and popular. Jin Shengtan's most outstanding achievement is his comments on Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The West Chamber. It is said that his comments on these famous books are innovative and have been passed down by later generations. Later, during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, he was beheaded in the Crying Temple case. According to the account of Talia Liu's essays, before he died, he sighed: "It was extremely painful; Being a family member is painful; The holy sigh is unexpected, Daqi! " Then smile and accept the punishment. Free and easy and thorough like this, I'm afraid only a wizard like him can blurt it out
The Han dynasty, also known as the pre-Han period, was invaded by ethnic minorities such as Xiongnu and Wusun in the western regions. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and other generals crusaded against Xiongnu, killed Xiutu, king of Xiongnu, and recaptured Nidan, son of Attila. At the same time, they also took back a sacred object of the clan-a gold man. Later generations have proved that the golden man is actually the golden body of the Buddha statue. At that time, Buddhism was born in India, but it had not been introduced to China, so no one knew it, only that it should be very important. King Xiutu was taken back to the Central Plains and arranged to ride horses in the palace. At that time, he was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. By chance, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a fancy to him and liked him very much, so he was promoted to be a trusted minister around him. Because he was a Jin man who was snatched back from the western regions at that time, he was given the surname Jin and the name Jin Ridan. This may be the origin of the surname "Jin".
Later, Jin Ri respected loyalty and won the trust of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He once saved the life of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and became a trusted official appointed jointly with Huo Guang. In fact, he is more trusted than Huo Guang, but he is a semi-final of the conference and cannot be persuaded, so he starts with Huo Guang.
Jin Ridan and his descendants have been loyal to the Han family for generations.
It is recorded in Han Shu and Romance of the Former Han Dynasty. I read the romance of the former Han Dynasty. Maybe this is the origin of the surname Jin.
