Pronunciation: yu ming shi It is said that Yuming's family name originated from the Shang Dynasty. However, many ancient legends and allusions originating from the Xia Dynasty, or even earlier than the Xia Dynasty, contain records about the Yuming family. It is said that the surname Yuming once appeared in the activities of bestowing tribal surnames, but there are few records of the surname Yuming in modern history books or materials. It is recorded in many documents such as "Taiping Yulan", "Yongle Dadian" and "Book of Changes". Even most of the ancient compound surnames recorded in "Evolution of Surnames" are closely related to the Yuming family. The origin of Yuming's family name: "surname" and "family name" are different. The "surname" given by the father to the child is "surname", and the "surname" given by the mother to the child is "family name". Although the Xia Dynasty entered the patrilineal clan, the power of the patrilineal clan was not stable at this time and many people still used the name of the matrilineal clan. Especially those from the old aristocracy, such as diviners, priests, and witch doctors, all inherited their mother's name. The Yuming family was the surname of the Xia Dynasty's divination and witch doctor work. The Yuming family's divination and other professions were hereditary. It is a tribe that fully grasps the systems and concepts of early shamanism (the shamanism mentioned here is not the Manchu shamanism of the Qing Dynasty but academically refers to the collective name of primitive era religions). In order to survive in the difficult environment in the early days, two theories emerged. One was to defeat nature, and the other was to integrate with nature. As a result, different religious systems evolved. Shamanism was founded by seeking the concept of the integration of man and nature. The doctrine is the unity of nature and man. In order to explore nature, divination and stargazing began. Because some people had excellent understanding and observation abilities, they were specially selected by the tribe to engage in divination and witch doctor work. With the development of the times, the clans of the selected people grew and formed a separate tribe, the Yuming clan. Because the clergy who worked as fortune tellers and witch doctors were thin and could not engage in heavy physical labor, fortune tellers generally weighed less than 100 kilograms. This was later used by Taoism as the source of the description of "immortal wind and Taoist bone" to outsiders. . At that time, each tribe elected specialized personnel to serve and protect the safety of the clergy. Over the years, by the Xia Dynasty, the people who specialized in serving the clergy themselves had grown into separate tribes. In the legends of later generations, Yuming was actually the collective name for fortune tellers and Taoist priests, or he played the role of a prophet of unknown futures. In order to thank these tribes who have served the clergy all year round. Yuming named many tribes, the famous ones include Jianggu, Gongxi, Nangong, etc. The idea of ??the unity of nature and man with the surname Yu Ming became a systematic thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the "Yin Yang Sect" was founded, one of the three schools of thought in history. However, because of the idea of ??the unity of nature and man, it was no longer in line with the conquests of mankind at that time. Due to natural needs, the Yin Yang Sect and the surname Yu Ming soon disappeared from the stage of history. Immediately it was replaced by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Xiu, who founded the Five Pecks of Rice Taoism under the pretense of Lao Tzu as the founder. This created Taoism that influenced Chinese history and became a miracle in history. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Onmyoji religion represented by the Yuming family traveled to Japan with the Japanese envoys from the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. Japan's local Shintoism was combined with the divination, witchcraft, and medicine brought by the Yuming family. Later, a new profession called "Onmyoji" emerged that influenced Japanese history. However, the Yuming family gradually lost contact with the Central Plains due to the vast sea. The red bamboo stones and blue velvet crystals produced in Japan were brought into the eyes of the Chinese people through intermittent exchanges at sea with the surnames Yuming and Jianggu in later generations, and they also became secrets.
