Origin of surname

1. Originated from the lineage, it comes from the grandson of the monarch of the ancient dynasty, and belongs to the surname of the lineage. According to the historical records of "Tongzhi · clan brief", the king's official man of Zhou Dynasty was the grandson of King Qing. Because he was called King's grandson man, he later took this as his surname Jiman is the grandson of Ji Renchen (618-607 BC), king of zhouqing, the 19th Dynasty in the spring and Autumn period. During the reign of Wang Jiyu in Zhou Dynasty (606-586 BC), Ji man was a doctor of the Zhou royal family. Later, he took his family's blood lineage as his surname, which was called "Wang sun", and Wang sun man in history. From then on, he had "Wang sun's family". In fact, the general annals written by Zheng Qiao, a scholar of Song Dynasty, is rather simple in the textual research of Wang sun's family. Wang sun's family comes from many sources, not only Ji man, but also the Western Zhou Dynasty. From the spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, many princes and great powers, such as the state of Chu with the surname of MI, the state of Qi with the surname of GUI, the state of Qin with the surname of Ying, the state of Shu with the surname of Ji, the state of Wu with the surname of Ji, the state of Yue with the surname of Si and so on, were called "Wang sun's", such as Wang Sunjia in the state of Wei, Wang sunchuan in the state of Qi, and Wang sunyou in the state of Chu wait. From 221 BC to 1912 ad, the feudal history lasted for more than two thousand one hundred and thirty years, and countless families of Wang and sun came into being.

According to Wang Fu, a statesman, thinker and historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in his treatise on Qianfu's surnames, Wang sun's and Gongsun's surnames belong to the state. Sun's family, or Wang sun's class, or Gongsun's class. " During the Zhou Dynasty, the grandsons of the king of Zhou who were officials in the vassal states were called "Wang sun" by other names. Among the descendants of later generations, those who took their ancestors' other names as surnames were called Wang sun's. For example, Ji man, the king's imperial official, was named Wang sun man because he was the grandson of the king of Zhou Qing. In fact, there are many cases in which the descendants of Wang sun man are Wang sun's family. The Wang sun's family can be used by all the feudal states with Ji surname and the descendants of the king of Zhou. Therefore, there are many sources of Wang sun's family, such as Wang Sun Jia of Wei state, Wang Sun Hua of Qi State, and Wang sun you of Chu state wait. In history, there are also people who take the name of "Wang sun" to commemorate the great position of their ancestors in history, and even the phenomenon of calling the precious and rare Chinese herbal medicine Astragalus membranaceus as "Wang sun". Because of its rarity and rarity, they are all royal medicine. In the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties, after class society replaced the primitive clan social relations, most people with political status took the official title as their surname. Surname, as the status symbol of royal nobles, different from surname, became the unique symbol of the ruling group. Therefore, since then, the surname indicates the kinship of blood inheritance, while the surname indicates the prominent position of the political system.

According to the ancient book "the book of rites · the system of kings", the system of Kings includes five grades: Duke, marquis, uncle, son and man There are nine surnames, such as Huang, Wang, Gong, Ba, Hou, Shu Chang, bu Geng, Gong Cheng and Gong Shi. All the descendants who have the title of nobility can get their surnames. Therefore, they can be divided into eight surnames: Wang Shu, Wang Zi, Wang sun, Gong Zi, Gong sun, Shi sun, Jia sun and Gu sun. Among them, the Jiasun family and the gusun family are directly derived from the wangsun family, which is recorded in the historical book Shiben: "Jiasun is the descendant of Wang Sunjia, the official of the Wei state in the spring and Autumn Period"; while the surname yuan holds that: "his grandson changed to the Jiasun family since he went to the royal family of Zhou Dynasty, and then mistakenly changed to the gusun family, and the sound changed with time, so the gusun family came out." In the historical book Yuanhe surname usurper, it is more clearly pointed out: "the ancient sun, originally the Ji surname, was changed to the ancient sun surname after Wang Sunjia." Wang sun's family, originally the grandson of the king, is a typical kinship appellation, and later gradually evolved into a surname appellation, but the surname is not surname. Wang sun's family is mostly the descendants of the common branch of the slavery and feudal monarchy in the past dynasties. The origin of their surnames is complex and can not be discussed..

Zhao Jianzi, the Minister of Jin, asked the state of Chu about the treasure of Bai Heng (a kind of curved jade). Wang SunYu replied: "Bai Heng is a plaything of the former king. It is not enough to be a treasure. I've heard that there are six kinds of national treasures: Jade feet for shade and grain, turtles for good or bad, pearls for fire resistance, gold for war resistance, mountains and forests for financial use The second couplet refers to Wang sun man, the official of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

He inspected the army in the southern suburb of Luoyi (now Luoyang in Henan Province) as a demonstration. When King Zhou Ding sent Wang Sunman to comfort the Chu army, King Zhuang of Chu asked him about the size and weight of the nine tripods (it is said that Xia Yu cast the nine tripods, which symbolized Jiuzhou, and Xia, Shang and Zhou Feng were the treasures of the Kingdom, which were the symbols of Royal power). Wang sun man saw that he wanted to take the place of Zhou and occupy the world, so he gave a euphemistic answer: three generations passed down, in virtue, not in Ding.

Name and reputation

Wang Sunyi

In the spring and Autumn period, the official of the state of Chu visited the state of Jin as an emissary. Zhao Jianzi, the Minister of Jin, deliberately called his Peiyu and asked, "how many generations has the state of Chu taken baiheng (a kind of curved Peiyu) as its national treasure?" Wang Sun Yu replied: "Bai Heng is a plaything of the former king. It's not enough to be a treasure. Chu people do not treasure Bai Heng, but treasure talents. I've heard that there are six kinds of national treasures: Jade feet for shade and grain, turtles for good or bad, pearls for fire, gold for war, and mountains for wealth These are the treasures The reason why Wang Sun Yi replied like this was to pay back Zhao Jianzi's boasting of her Peiyu.

Wang Sunman

He was a doctor when he was king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In the third year of Xuangong of Lu Dynasty (606 BC), King Chuzhuang sent troops to attack Lu Hun's Army (i.e. Jiang Rong, who moved from northwest to Yichuan in Henan Province) and arrived in Luoshui. He inspected the army in the southern suburb of Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty (now Luoyang in Henan Province) to demonstrate. He wanted to have a look at the Jiuding, the symbol of China's supreme power. When King Zhou Ding sent Wang Sunman to comfort the Chu army, King Zhuang of Chu asked him about the size and weight of the nine tripods (it is said that Xia Yu cast the nine tripods, which symbolized Jiuzhou, and Xia, Shang and Zhou Feng were the treasures of the Kingdom, which were the symbols of Royal power). Wang sun man saw that he wanted to take the place of Zhou and occupy the world, so he replied tactfully: "the rule of the world lies in virtue, not in the size of the tripod. Although the virtue of the Zhou Dynasty declined, the destiny of heaven did not change. The importance of the nine tripods could not be taken into account by the officials. " This is the origin of the phrase "questioning the Central Plains". In the Warring States period, the Qin and Chu states also launched their troops to the Zhou royal family. It is said that in the 21th year of King Xian of Zhou Dynasty (348 BC), the Daqiu society of Song Dynasty was destroyed, and Jiuding was sunk to Sishui.
