Zhong Li

Zhong Li's surname

The origin of Zhongli's surname can be traced back to the state of song founded by song Weizi in the spring and Autumn period. It can be regarded as the descendant of Zi's surname in Shangtang. Because his ancestor had been eating in a place called Zhongli (now east of Linhuaiguan Town, Fengyang County, Anhui Province), his descendants took the city as their surname and began to take Zhongli or Zhong as their surname. In other words, for a long time we are familiar with the compound surname "Zhong Li" and the single surname "Zhong", in fact, they are a family of the same blood.

Origin and development of surnames

The origin of Zhong Li is as follows

Origin 1: originated from the surname Ying, it comes from the feudalism of the descendants of Boyi in the Zhou Dynasty and takes the name of the country as the surname. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Jifa, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, granted the descendants of Boyi, the leader of the ancient Dongyi people, in Zhongli city. Later, there was Zhongli state, also known as Tonglu state. It was a very small vassal state, viscount, and the king was called Zhongli. Zhongli kingdom was originally located in Shandong Province, and later moved to the middle reaches of Huaihe River (now Fengyang, Anhui Province) in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In the middle of the spring and Autumn period, the state of Zhongli was conquered by the powerful state of Chu in the seventh year of Jigui (the third year of xiongqian, the king of Chu), and the state of Zhongli was destroyed. The former place of Zhongli was changed into Haozhou and Shucheng by the king of Chu, and the king of Zhongli was forced to become a subordinate of the state of Chu. Later, King Ling of Chu allowed him to restore the state, but he became a vassal state of Chu. The title of Zhongli was reduced to "Jun", and the territory was limited to Zhongli city (now Linhuaiguan, Fengyang County, Anhui Province). In the second year of Jigai, King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (the ninth year of jizhufan, King Liao of Wu, 518 BC), Zhongli city was taken away by the state of Wu and became the vassal land of the state of Wu. In the winter of the 14th year of King Zhou Jing (the 11th year of Xiong Ren, King Zhao of Chu, the 9th year of Ji Guang, King Helu of Wu, 506 BC), the army of Chu and the navy of Yue attacked Wu and won a small victory. After the two countries celebrated their victory, King Zhao of Chu took a boat to play in the capital city of Chaoyang (now Chaohu County, Anhui Province). However, the main force of Wu state, led by general Wu Zixu, quietly followed. It broke into the northeast of Chu state with weak defense. According to Sun Tzu's plan, it carried out a strategic attack in depth and directly attacked the hinterland of Chu state. With flexible tactics, it defeated the main force of Chu army in the "battle of Baiju" (now Macheng, Hubei Province), and launched a pursuit to break through the capital of Chu state Ying (now Macheng, Hubei Province) After that, he dug up the corpse of King Ping of Chu and whipped 300 times to eliminate the hatred of his family. On the way back to the army, Wu Zixu destroyed the two vassal states of Chu, Chaoguo and Zhongli. After the destruction of Zhongli state, its city was still there, and its citizens still lived in this place. Until the third year of King Jiren of Zhou and Yuan Dynasties (the 24th year of King Goujian's reign, the 23rd year of King fuchaijiguang of Wu, 473 BC), King Goujian of Yue destroyed the state of Wu, and Zhongli city belonged to the state of Yue. In the 35th year of jibian, King Xian of Zhou Dynasty (the 8th year of xiongshang, King Wei of Chu, the 31th year of wuzhuansi, King Wei of Yue, 332 BC), the state of Chu swallowed up the state of Yue, and Zhongli city belonged to the state of Chu for a long time. However, the state of Zhongli never recovered. King Wei of Chu only sent a doctor to manage Zhongli city. After the first emperor of Qin unified the whole country, Zhongli city belonged to Jiujiang County, which lasted until the seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1374 A.D.). Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, changed the place of Zhongli state to Fengyang mansion, which is called Fengyang mansion until now. Among the descendants of Zhong ion and the Chinese people, there were those who took the name of their homeland as their surname very early, called Zhongli, which was the earliest family of Zhongli. Later, most of the provincial documents were changed to single surname Zhongli, which has been handed down from generation to generation. Most of the Zhongli people in Hui family (surname Ying) regard Zhongli as the ancestor of the de surname, and do not share the same genealogy with Zhongli.

Origin 2: it comes from the surname Zi. It comes from the feudal land granted by the state of Chu to Zhouli, the great grandson of Duke Huan of Song Dynasty in the spring and Autumn period. It takes the name of the feudal capital as its surname. Weizi, named Ziqi, was the elder brother of Xin, King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He was originally granted the title of Weiyi (now Weizi Town, Lucheng, Shanxi). After his death, he was buried in Weishan, Shandong Province (now Jining Weishan, northwest of Liangshan, Shandong Province), so his place was also called Weishan. Weishan and Weishan Lake came from it. The king of Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty after he conquered Zhou, and soon died of illness. His son Jisheng succeeded him as king Cheng of Zhou. When King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to the throne, there were only twelve suis, assisted by his uncle Zhou GongDan and Zhao gongxuan. At that time, several other uncles, such as Guan Shu and Cai Shu, were very dissatisfied with Zhou GongDan and Zhao gongxuan '. It took three years for Zhou GongDan to suppress the rebellion. Later, Wei Zi, who was granted Xianliang, set up the song state in Suiyang (now Shangqiu in Henan Province), and was responsible for controlling the adherents of the Shang Dynasty. Weiziqi became the founding monarch of the Song Dynasty. It was spread from the state of song to yushuo, the prince of song Huan of the 19th generation (681-651 BC). His son Ao worked in the state of Jin. His grandson bozong was a doctor of Jin. He was called "the sage of Jin" at that time. However, because of his outspoken words and daring to remonstrate, he offended the powerful Jia family and was killed. Bozong had a son named Zhouli, who fled to the state of Chu at that time. Later, he became a doctor in the state of Chu, and was granted food in Zhongli (now Linhuaiguan area in the northeast of Fengyang, Anhui). Later, his descendants took the ancestral fief "Zhongli" as their surname, and called it Zhongli. Later, most of the provincial Wenjian were changed to single surnames Zhong, Li, Tong and Lu, which have been handed down from generation to generation. It is said that Zhong Li (Zhong Liquan), one of the famous Eight Immortals in Han Dynasty, is the descendant of Zhou Li. Most of the Zhongli people in Jingchu (Zi surname) respect Weiziqi as the ancestor of the de surname, and do not share the same genealogy with the Zhongli surname of Ying.

The ancestor of the surname de

Boyi, Weiziqi, zizhouli (zhonglizhouli), zhonglijie (Zhongjie). Weizi was the elder brother of emperor Xin of Shang Dynasty. He was originally granted the title of Weizi (near the Yin Ruins), so he was called Weizi. Originally, he was the crown prince and should succeed to the throne. After King Wu of Zhou conquered the Shang Dynasty and exterminated Zhou, he granted the Weizi to the state of song, so the Weizi became the founding monarch of the state of song. HuanGong, the 19th monarch of the Song Dynasty, was once the grandson of mingbozong. He was a senior official in the state of Jin and was known as the "sage of Jin". However, he offended the powerful Ying family and was killed because he dared to remonstrate. The son of bozong, Zhou Li, fled to Chu. Later, GUI was a taizai, and his food was taken from Zhongli. Later, his descendants took Zhongli as their surname, which was Zhongli's compound surname (at the same time, they separated a single surname from Zhongli). They all respected Weizi as the first ancestor of Zhongli's surname.

The ancestor of zhe'er left a blessing, and the former life of che'er was to cultivate a lower salary. The loss of your life is long, and the death of you is long.

The punishment is not enough to make people become livestock, even make them fall into water forever. I also cry at the sad news. I sigh why people are so confused.

Today, I would like to ask the world to listen to the advice and avoid lust before it comes. His daughter is not a candle, his wife is not a relative.

His daughter gouer enters his house, and Ermo chases him secretly. His wife lured me to stay with him, and Ermo knew him personally.
