Historical sources: There are many Roy, and the descendants of emperors are called princes and grandsons, hence the surname.
Origin of surname
wang xing, the most popular surname in China, has five origins: Prince Jin
Origin I
Originated from Ji's surname, descended from Bi Gonggao, the fifteenth son of Zhou Wenwang in Zhou Dynasty, and belonged to the royal family.
After Bi Gonggao, the fifteenth son of Zhou Wenwang, was originally a royal family, so they took Wang as their surname.
Ji Jin, the prince of East Zhou Lingwang, was deposed as a commoner because of his admonition, and moved to Langya (now Shandong Province). The world called him the "Wang" family, and later he took Wang as his surname and was called Wang.
Prince Jin of Zhou Lingwang is one of the most important ancestors of wang xing people in the world.
Prince Jin, also known as Wang Zijin, Wang Qiaoqiao, is the prince of East Zhou Lingwang, whose surname is Ji.
A Brief Introduction to Tongzhi Clans says: "If Taiyuan is the king of Langxie, it is called Prince Jin of Zhou Lingwang, and his son Zonggong is Stuart, and the people are called the Wangs.
"Jin was born in Luoyang, and was made a prince in the early years of Zhou Lingwang. At that time, the Valley and Luoer rivers flowing through Luoyang were often flooded, and the Lingwang sent people to block the river. He urged him to take advantage of the situation to control the water, which was not adopted by the Lingwang. Later, he was deprived of the title of prince for disobedience and was abolished as Shu Ren.
future generations are called the Wangs by the world, so they take Wang as their surname.
After the death of Prince Jin, Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State, said in Travel Far, "Xuanyuan can't climb, but I will entertain myself from Wang Qiao." In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai also wrote a poem, "I love Wang Ziqiao, and I know Elobin".
King Jingzhao and King Hejian, another branch of the King of Ji's surname, are the 15th son of Zhou Wenwang and the younger brother of Zhou Wuwang, Bi Gong and Ji Gao.
Ji Gao was sealed in Bi, and his descendant Sun Biwan entered Jin as an official and was named Wei Chenghou. During the Warring States Period, he was separated from Zhao and Han to establish Wei.
After Wei Wangjia's reign, the State of Wei was destroyed by Qin, and the descendants were scattered, because the name was Wang's family and Wang was his surname.
For example, Wei Wuji, the Xinlingjun, first took refuge in Mount Tai, and entered the DPRK in the Western Han Dynasty. He was named as the Lanlingjun by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. The origin and migration of wang xing (Qian Wenzhong Lecture Room), his descendants thought that they came from the royal family, so they changed their surname to Wang, which has been handed down from generation to generation.
Origin II
originated from the surname Zi, descended from Prince Bigan of Chengtang, and belonged to the royal family.
according to the records in the annals of clans, after Shang Zhou was a prince and Bigan was killed, his descendants changed his surname from "Zi" to "Wang" in memory of him, forming another Wang.
after the king of the surname Bigan, he became the king of Jijun.
A Brief History of the Clans says: "Wang ... who came from Ji County said that after Prince Bigan, this son's surname was Wang." Prince Bigan is the son of Wen Ding, king of Shang Dynasty, and also the uncle of Zhou Wang, the late emperor of Shang Dynasty.
Prince Bigan lived in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, when the national fortune went from bad to worse. In addition, Zhou Wang was ignorant and ignorant. He was dissatisfied with the current situation and repeatedly criticized him. In the end, the king was not allowed by Zhou Wang and died.
He died for his country, and was praised by later generations as a model of loyalty to the motherland. Together with Wei Zi and ji zi at the same time, he was called "Three Benevolence at the End of Shang Dynasty".
After being killed, Prince Bigan was buried near the then Guodu Chaoge, which is next to Bigan Temple Village, 15 miles north of Weihui City.
After his death, his descendants lived in Qixian County, Weihui County for generations, guarding the mausoleum for him. At the same time, in order to commemorate him, the surname was changed to "Wang".
The King of the Zi surname is the earliest wang xing people.
Because Weihui, where they live, was originally under the jurisdiction of Ji County, it is also called the Wangs of Ji County.
Origin III
Originated from Yao's surname, it came from the descendants of Qi Wangtian and Yu Shun after Yao's surname in ancient times, and belonged to the status of a prince.
Shun was born in Yaodi, that is, he took Yao as his surname, and his descendants took Yao's surname with his father's surname and his local surname, which is called Yao's surname.
according to the records in the annals of clans, it is said that after Yu Shun, the ancient emperor, Gui Man was sealed in Chen by Zhou Wuwang, and passed on to Gongzi. He could not escape to the State of Qi and changed his surname to Tian. His descendant Sun Tianhe became the monarch of the State of Qi, which was called "Tian Shi replaced Qi" in history. After Qi was destroyed, his surname was changed to "Gui" as a royal family.

First, Qi Zhutian was destroyed by Qin, and Qi Ren was the Wang family, which was also the king of this surname. ".

"Gui Mi", an ancient water name, is also called "Mi Mi". Shun Di was originally named Yao, so he got his surname because he lived in Gui Mi.
Some of Shun Di's descendants lived by Gui River, that is, they took Gui as their surname.
The earliest source of this wang xing is Yao's surname. Some people with Yao's surname have changed their surnames many times: from Yao's surname to Gui's, then to Chen's, and then to Tian's. Some Tian's surnames have changed back to the earliest Yao's surname, while others have not, so they continue to be Tian's. If Tian's surname has changed again, it will be changed to wang xing.

In 368 BC, Tian He replaced Jiang as the monarch of the State of Qi, which was called "Tian's generation of Qi" in history, and was passed on to eight kings, who were destroyed by Qin, and their descendants were abolished as common people. One of them thought that he was the royal family of the State of Qi, so he took Wang as his surname.
