Introduction to Surnames
Surnames: signs and symbols that indicate a person's family lineage. Before the advent of surnames, what did people use to identify their family and identity? German Orientalist Max Muller said in "Dedicated to Mythology": A totem begins as the mark of a clan totem, then becomes the name of the tribe, and then the name of the ancestors of the tribe. The "name" here is actually "surname".
The original source of ancient Chinese surnames is based on the primitive religious worship of "Tiandao", totem worship and ancestor worship. The so-called "Way of Heaven" refers to the rules that exist in everything. Primitive totem worship is the root of ancient Chinese surnames. A large number of ancient documents support this view.
The descendants of the same ancestor are called clans. Surnames originally originated from the name of a tribe or the name of a tribal leader. Its main function is to facilitate the identification of descendants of different clans in the tribe and facilitate intermarriage between different clans. Therefore, the emergence of surnames marks the transition from group marriage to blood-based marriage, and is an important milestone in the progress of human civilization.
After the surname is produced, it is passed down from generation to generation. Generally it does not change and is relatively stable. However, the surname changes with the changes of fiefdoms and official positions. Therefore, a person's descendants will have several surnames or two generations of father and son. Different clan. The surname and the given name together form a person's name. ?The surname refers to the place where the ancestors came from; the surname refers to the place where the descendants come from. ?The surname is a racial number, and the surname is a branch of the surname. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, surnames have been integrated into one.
Scholars believe that the original origin of Chinese surnames is based on the primitive religious worship of "Tiandao", totem worship and ancestor worship. The so-called "Way of Heaven" refers to the rules that exist in everything. Regarding totems, there are three views in academic circles: the name of a totem is the unique name of a group; the totem is the ancestor of the group, and the members are all descended from the totem; and the totem is the protector of the group. There are no regulations on the distinction of surnames in the pre-Qin literature. The distinction of surnames is a theory created by later generations. The origin of surnames can be traced back to the matrilineal clan system in primitive human society, so many ancient surnames in China have the character female next to or at the end. A surname is a specific symbol that distinguishes a clan, such as the name of a tribe or the name of a tribal leader.
Surnames are two stages of human progress and the product of civilization.
