Historical development

Main sources

1. Originating from the surname Zi, he is a descendant of Bigan, a famous official in the late Shang Dynasty, and belongs to the surname given by the marquis. At the end of Shang Dynasty, King Zhou had no way and was killed. His wife, Mrs. Chen, fled to Changlin mountain and gave birth to his son Quan. After Zhou destroyed Shang Dynasty, because Quan was born in the forest, his father Bigan was unyielding, and was given the surname of Lin by King Wu of Zhou. 2. It comes from the Ji surname and comes from Jikai, the son of King Ping of Zhou. It takes the ancestor's name as the surname. Ji Yijiu, King Ping of Zhou Dynasty, had a common son named Linkai, and some of his descendants took their ancestors' names as their surnames. 3. Originated from the official position, it comes from Lin Heng, an official in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It takes the official title as the surname. Lin Heng, also known as Lin Ren, was an official institution set up in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. He was mainly responsible for taking charge of trees, afforestation, maintenance and irrigation. 4. The change of surname originated from ethnic minorities. (1) from the change of surname of Xianbei people: in the northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital of the country from Pingcheng to Luoyang, and ordered Xianbei people to change their surnames into Chinese characters, changing the surname of Qiulin to that of Lin. 2. From the Gaoshan Nationality, the Gaoshan ethnic group in Taiwan area is a branch of the ancient Baiyue ethnic group migrating to Taiwan in Chinese mainland. ③ it originated from the change of surname of the Manchu Nationality: busa family of the Manchu nationality, with the Manchu language of busa Hala, who lived in valka (now from the north of Changbai Mountain and Tumen River in the south, from the south of wuzhala in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang Province in the north, to the south of Russia's coastal area in the East). Later, most of the Han surnames were surnamed Lin. Lin Jia, whose Manchu name is lingiya Hala, has lived in feiyoucheng (now gaolicheng village, Sanjiazi Township, Hunchun County, Jilin Province) and Wula (now Yongji County, Jilin Province). Later, Lin Jia is the Han surname.

The ancestor of the surname de

Lin Jian, the ancestor of the surname, is the posthumous son of Bigan. Because King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was cruel and unruly, Bigan repeatedly committed Yan Qiang's admonition and was killed. At that time, Bigan's wife, Chen, was pregnant and took four maids to the pastoral area for refuge. They lived in a cave hidden in the woods. Later, the wife gave birth to a son named Jian. King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou and won. Bigan's wife and Zijian visited King Wu of Zhou. Because Jian was born in the woods, King Wu of Zhou gave his surname "Lin" and worshipped him as a doctor. After eating Xihe, he was transferred to Boling.

Migration distribution

According to archaeological and genetic studies, the origin of Chinese people is not only in one region, but also in many regions. Genome wide genotyping studies show that it was 30000 to 40000 years ago that Asians migrated from south to north to form the current East Asian population. The most important conclusion of this study is that East Asian people originated from the South and migrated from south to North in prehistoric times. For Chinese history, this means that the "Hometown" of northerners is actually in the south. The ancestors of the Chinese first arrived in the south of China, where they multiplied, and then entered the Yellow River Basin. It is also said that the surname Lin migrated from north to south. For example, it is said that in the pre Qin period, the surname Lin first moved to the north of the Yellow River and the east of Taihang Mountain. After entering the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the surname Lin had spread to Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places.
