Historical development

Origin of surname

Originated from the Xianbei nationality, it comes from Murong, an adult in the middle of Xianbei during the Han Dynasty. It takes the official title as a surname. According to legend, during the reign of emperor Huan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei people were divided into three parts: the central part, the eastern part and the western part. The leader of the three parts was Ke zuque, who lived in Murong temple. Later, because of his surname, he was called Murong family.

It comes from Murong of Xianbei nationality in Qin and Han Dynasties. It takes the name of tribal leader as surname. According to the historical records of Tongzhi clan, Murong family came from the middle ages and lived in Northeast China for generations. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were called "northeast barbarians". This "Dongbei Yi" is a branch of the ancient Donghu nationality. In the first year of Liu Bang (206 B.C.) of the Han Dynasty, Donghu was scattered by the Huns. After that, the tribe migrated and lived in the area with Xianbei mountain as the core, that is, between the Xilamulun River in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Tao'er River in Jilin Province. The leader of the tribe established a "Xianbei state" in the Eastern Han Dynasty ”Therefore, it is called Xianbei nationality. According to legend, the Xianbei leader claimed to be "the way of moeryi, the way of succeeding Sanguang", so he took the title of "Murong" and called it Murong Chanyu. His Xianbei kingdom was later called Murong tribe of Xianbei, and the tribe members were called Murong family, which has been handed down from generation to generation.

Murong's birthplace is in Sidi, so the Murong people all respect Murong Shanyu as the ancestor of the surname.

Originating from the Xianbei nationality, it comes from Murong of Xianbei during the Three Kingdoms period and takes the name of the tribe as its surname. During the Three Kingdoms period, Mo Huba, the leader of Murong department in Xianbei, led his people to move to western Liaoning. Later, he followed Sima Yi to fight against Gongsun yuan, who was separated in Eastern Liaoning. He made war contributions and was granted the title of King Shuyi. Later, Mo Huba established a tribal alliance in the north of Jingcheng (now Changli, Hebei Province). It is said that at that time, the Han people in northern China were popular to wear the step rocking crown (a kind of hat with hanging decoration). Mo Huba liked it very much and made one and wore it on his head all day. The Xianbei people in the tribe all called him "Bu Yao" when they saw him dressed like this. Because the pronunciation of the local language "Bu Yao" was similar to "Murong", it became "Murong" later. Later, the people of mohuba took it as the name of the tribe, and took it as the surname of the royal family of the tribe. In the Western Jin Dynasty, Murong, a descendant of Mo Huba, occupied a vast area of northern Yanbei and Eastern Liaoning, claiming Xianbei dafanyu. Murong's son, Murong Shuo, is a man of great talent. He founded the former state of Yan. Since then, he officially took Murong as his surname. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, many Murong people have changed from provincial bamboo slips to single sex Murong and Rong, which have been handed down from generation to generation.

During the Sixteen States period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Murong family established four Yan states in northern China, namely, the former Yan state, the latter Yan state, the Western Yan state, and the Southern Yan state, which lasted for more than 70 years.

Murong Shanyu, Mo Huba and Murong Luo. According to records in the biography of Xianbei in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Xianbei was divided into three parts: the middle, the East and the West during the reign of emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. The Xianbei nationality in history originated between the Xilamulun River and the Tao'er River in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the birthplace of the Murong family is also there.

Murong's Fu surname is not listed in the top 100 of Baijia surnames in mainland China and Taiwan Province. However, it ranks 436 in Song edition of Baijia surname and 28th in Fu surname.

Murong was originally the name of a tribe of Xianbei nationality. During the Three Kingdoms period, the leader Mo Huba led his people to move to Jianguo in western Liaoning. He was named Xianbei. When he returned to Shanyu, he said: "the virtue of Murong is the virtue of heaven and earth, and the virtue of Sanguang (sun, moon and star)", so he took Murong as his surname.

During the reign of emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei was divided into three districts: the central, the eastern and the western. The central was ruled by Ke zuque. He lived in Murong temple, so his surname was Murong. It is said that when Mo Huba was founded in the north of Jicheng City, he liked the step rocking hat (hat with pendant) which was very popular among the Han people in the north. He also asked people to make one and wear it on his head all day. Therefore, Xianbei people jokingly call it "Bu Yao". Because of the similar pronunciation with Murong, it was falsely transferred to Murong. His descendants changed the name of the tribe to Murong.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, the Murong people established the state of Yan, officially taking Murong as their surname. From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the state of Yan was at its peak. In the north, there were Qianyan, Houyan, Nanyan, Xiyan and other states. The Murong surname was widely spread.
