Origin of the surname
Origin 1
Derived from the surname Ji, he is a descendant of Tang Shuyu.
① It comes from the youngest son Gongming (namely Jia Bo Gongming) of Tang Shuyu, the younger brother of King Zhou Cheng, and is named after the country.
According to the records of the historical books "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames" and "New Book of Tang", in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Tang Shuyu, the younger brother of Jisong, the king of Zhou Cheng, was "Tong Ye's brother" and destroyed the Tang Dynasty ( Today's Yicheng, Shanxi) was later granted to the old Tang Dynasty, including the area where the Xia Dynasty had its capital (today's Xia County, Shanxi), and was awarded to nine sects with the surname Huai. Since then, Tang Shuyu has become the ancestor of many surnames such as Tang, He, Yang, Wen, and Han in later generations. After King Ji Xie of Zhou Yi succeeded to the throne, he was renamed Tang Hou as Jin Hou, and he became the king of Jin Dynasty in later generations. Regarding Tang Shuyu, mythical legends and interesting stories are recorded in historical books. At the same time, the "Historical Records" also records the famous story of "cutting the tung tree to become a younger brother". This story is also recorded in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu·Chong Yan" and "Shuo Yuan·Jun Dao".
In the first year of King Kang of Zhou (1020 BC) shortly after Duke Zhou enfeoffed Tang Shuyu in the Tang Dynasty, Ji Zhao, son of King Zhou Cheng, succeeded to the throne as King Zhou Kang. King Kang of Zhou again granted Ji Gongming, the youngest son of Tang Shuyu, in Jia Di (today's Xiangfen, Shanxi). It was nominally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and an earl, and was known as Jia Bo in history. In the historical books "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames", "New Book of Tang: Genealogy List of Prime Ministers", and "Ciyuan", the origin of the Jia family has been consistently described. According to the historical book "New Book of Tang: Hereditary List of Prime Ministers", the ancestor of the Jia family with the Ji surname was Jia Gongming, named Jia Bo. He was Ji Gongming, the youngest son of Tang Shuyu. Counting from the time when King Kang of Zhou succeeded to the throne (1020 BC) until he was destroyed by Duke Wu of Jin, Jia Gongming and his descendants ruled Jia State for a total of 342 years. According to some information, after Jin Wugong destroyed the Jia Kingdom, he "sent the Jia family's descendants to various places." Their surnames were all called Jia family, which was passed down from generation to generation. The correct pronunciation is jiǎ (ㄐㄧㄚˇ).
② It comes from the fief of Hu Shegu, the son of Hu Yan, a famous figure in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a surname based on the name of the fief.
According to the historical book "New Book of Tang: Hereditary List of Prime Ministers": "Shegu, the son of Hu Yan, a Duke of Jin, became the Grand Master of Jin, and lived in Jia." Therefore, Hu Shegu is also called Jia Ji. Hu Yan, who lived from 715 BC to 629 BC, was a minister of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was named Zi Cuo and was the uncle of Prince Ji Chong'er (Dong Wen of Jin). He was also called Ji Cuo (Ji Cuo).
His father was the famous Hu Tu, named Bo Xing, who was a member of the Hu clan in Dayong (now Quebo Village, Jiaocheng, Shanxi). He was a descendant of Tang Shuyu who fell into the Di tribe. Hu Tu became a high official in the Jin state, and Hu Yan immediately followed his father to Quwo (now Wenxi, Shanxi), the capital of Jin. Prince Ji Chong'er was taught by Hu Yan, Zhao Shui and others when he was young. Hu Shegu was also one of the five most capable doctors under Duke Wen of Jin. Historically, Hu Shegu was known as the "gu bra" of the Jin Dynasty. In the history of the Jin Dynasty, Duke Wen of Jin respected Hu Yan as he respected his father, respected Zhao Shui as he respected his teacher, and respected Hu Shegu as he respected his elder brother. In the historical book "Guoyu·Jinyu", it is said that Hushegu is "well-educated and respectful and prudent." Hushegu is not only highly educated and knowledgeable, but also humble and virtuous, kind-hearted and cautious in words and deeds. Queen Hu Shegu was also called Jia Ji in history because she was able to live in Jiayi.
After the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, a fierce battle broke out in the court over which of Duke Xiang's brothers should be appointed king. Jia Ji fled to Zhai State (Di State) to avoid disaster. His descendants took the name of their ancestors' fiefdom as their surname, called Jia family, and it was passed down from generation to generation. The correct pronunciation is jiǎ (ㄐㄧㄚˇ).
