The origin of hundreds of surnames

In China, there is a nursery rhyme: "A group of crows make noise in the night breeze, and all the students put their throats together. Zhao Gan Sun,,, Heaven and Earth are mysterious and yellow. Reviewing the Three-Character Classics, thousands of poems are prodigies. One of them is a wise man who reads three lines a day. "

The contents mentioned in the ballads are basically from Mongolian reading materials "Three Amethyst", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Characters". Three-character classics, hundreds of surnames and thousands of characters are commonly known as "three thousand"

As we all know, the author of Three Amethyst is Wang Yinglin (1 123- 1296), a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, with a thick word and a name of Shen Ning lay man. Easy-to-understand written expression and catchy rhythm make Saint Amethyst a household name. It is not only included in the current Classic Reading Book of China Traditional Culture (for primary school students), but also selected by UNESCO as one of the children's moral series, which is popular all over the world.

As we all know, the author of Qian Zi Wen is Zhou Xingsi (502-549), an assistant minister of the Liang Dynasty. A Thousand Words is not only neat and coherent, but also full of literary talent, which is amazing and can be called a book of talented people. Many people not only read it as an enlightenment textbook, but also regard it as an excellent model for learning calligraphy. Very early, it crossed the ocean and spread all over the world. There are not only many versions in Japan, but also many works with different contents, all of which are named "Thousand Characters". 1583, North Korea published "Thousand Characters of Shifeng" with explanations and phonetic notation in Korean. 183 1, thousands of words were translated into English. Since then, thousands of words have appeared in French, Latin and Italian.

Hundred Family Names is the most popular and widely circulated textbook in China. In this paper, 438 surnames are compiled into four-character verse, which is easy to read, learn and remember, quite practical, appealing to both refined and popular tastes and beneficial to both ancient and modern times. "Hundreds of surnames" are widely circulated not only in Han nationality, but also in ethnic minorities, such as Mongolian surnames and Jurchen surnames. It can be seen that the influence of hundreds of surnames is far-reaching. However, no one knows that the author of Hundred Family Names is Yan Qian.

Lu You (1125-1210), a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, mentioned "hundreds of surnames" for the first time in the annotation of the poem "Autumn in the suburbs".

In the Southern Song Dynasty, San Yun wrote in "A New Record of Jade Photos": "The hundreds of surnames printed on the street were studied in detail in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it seems that they were written by the king when the Qian family in Zhejiang had a state. What is this? Its first cloud is' Qian Sun', covering the surname of Qian as Zhengshuo, Zhao Naiben as, so money is the second, Sun Naizhong's concubine is the second, and then Jiangnan Li. In the second sentence, the cloud' Wu Zhou Zheng Wang', all Wu Su went down to the empresses, no doubt. "

Xu Li, an Amin, generally said, "It must have been compiled by Song people."

Wang Xiang thought it was "written by an old Confucian in Qiantang in the early Song Dynasty."

In view of this, as the 37th grandson of Qian, a descendant of Su, after careful textual research, I wrote a Textual Research on the Authors of Hundred Surnames and published it in relevant newspapers and periodicals. Yan Qian was a "Song man", an old Confucian scholar of Qiantang River in the early Song Dynasty, a "commoner" when Zhejiang had a state, and even more a "Zhejiang Qian family".

To put it simply, Yan Qian (937- 1003), whose name is Yuncheng, is the grandson of Wang Qian Wusu, the tenth son of wuyue Mu Wang Qian, and the half-brother of wuyue Qian Wang. The real name is "Hong Xin", and later, in order to avoid the taboo of the Song Dynasty, the word "Hong" was removed and renamed "Xin"; Later, the word "Xin" was changed to "Yan". Song Taizong called him "Confucianism". He wrote The History of Wu Yue in the name of "Wang". In history, the important figure of Wu Yue-guo was that Han seized Yan Qian's hand.

Finally, I would like to introduce the Qian family tree (the old version) collected by my family at present. Part A, general drawing of lineage, Jing (Yan Qian) and (Yan Qian) Jiuzi (Zhao Yuan, Zhao Ying, Zhao Cong, Zhao Ci, Zhao Xian, Zhao Ting, Zhao Yan) "My ancestors rushed to the public, and their seasons were also. Xuan Jing died, and the second brother died first. I know I am pushing my brother and nephew, but I only accept Xuan Jing's books. " Therefore, this not only proves that the textual research on Wang Mingqing in the Southern Song Dynasty is rigorous, but also proves that wuyue's Family Ride is certainly beneficial for us to study the Mongolian reader Hundred Family Names.
