Why is Jin the most common surname among the Koreans, but only a very small surname among the Han people? My surname is Jin, and my ancestral home is Fu'an, Fujian. Is it possible that I am a descendant of the Korean ethnic group?

Chinese gold and Korean gold have different ancestors, so you have no such possibility. The surname Kim of Korea has several origins. The first one comes from King Kim of Silla, and the second one comes from King Kim Suro of Gaya. The surname Park comes from Park Hyukju, the ancestor of the Silla kings (although the kings of Silla were from the same family, they had two surnames, Park and Kim). Both of these surnames are surnames from myths and legends. The three surnames of Jeju Island, Gao, Fu, and Yang, also come from myths and legends. King Buyeo of Baekje and Goguryeo had their own surnames. Among the five most populous surnames in South Korea: Kim, Park, Lee, Choi, and Zheng, there are 106 testable origins of the Kim family. The origin of the surname Jin in my country: The origins of the surname Jin mainly include the following aspects:

1. The surname is based on the name of the ancestor, which originated from the Jintian family of Shaohao. Legend has it that when Shaohao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, was born in ancient times, his mother Xilingluozu saw a very big star falling down like a flying rainbow, so she named it after Jin Detian. After her death, she was revered as the Great Emperor of the West. According to the ancient theory of virtue and five elements, the West belongs to gold, so Shaohao is also called Jin Tianshi. Among the descendants of Shaohao, there is a branch with Jin as their surname and respecting Shaohao as their ancestor. This is the earliest Jin family.

2. The surname Jin was given, which originated from the Huns. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Rixi, the prince of King Xiutu of the Xiongnu, surrendered to the Han Dynasty and became an official in the Han Dynasty. First, he served as a horse supervisor. Because of his extraordinary appearance, he was promoted to the rank of Attendant by Emperor Wu. He stayed at Emperor Wu's side for decades without any fault. He was deeply loved by Emperor Wu and was promoted to general of chariots and cavalry. In the later years of Emperor Wu, Mang Luo He rebelled and attempted to assassinate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was discovered by Ri Mei and captured alive, and was named Thallium Marquis for his merits. When Emperor Wu was about to die, he appointed him as the Minister of Gu Ming. Because he once cast gold figures to worship heaven for Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu gave him the surname Jin and named him Jin Rixi, becoming another ancestor of the Jin surname.

3. The taboo of changing surnames originated after Xiang Bo. According to the "Wuyue Spring and Autumn Annals": Xiang Bo, the uncle of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was in Cao Ying and his heart was in the Han Dynasty, and became a son and daughter with Liu Bang. Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, gave him the imperial surname Liu, and called him Uncle Liu. When his descendants passed down to the Five Dynasties, the descendants who lived in Wuyue, because they avoided the name of Wuyue King Qian Jian (the same pronunciation of Liu Jian in the local area), they took the sword with the character Liu and were given the surname Jin (the traditional Chinese characters of the character Liu are Zuojinyoudao ), worshiping Uncle Liu as the ancestor of the Jin surname.

4. Ethnic minorities have this surname. 1. Derived from the Qiang surname. According to "Records of the Pre-Qin Dynasty": During the Fujian period of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Qiang chieftains had the Jin surname, which originated from the Qiang surname. There are Jin Dahei, Jin Luosheng and so on. 2. Originated from Silla Kingdom. According to "A Survey of Surnames": the king of Silla in the Tang Dynasty had this surname.

5. His surname was changed to Jin. In the late Ming Dynasty, Jin Sheng was born in Xiuning. His courtesy name was Zhengxi. He was rarely studious. He was a Jinshi at the beginning of Chongzhen. His original surname was Cheng, but later he changed his surname to Jin. Later, Jin was adopted as the surname, and Jin Sheng was named the ancestor of the Jin surname.

6. The surname Jin existed a long time ago. According to "Qun Fu Lu", Fu Xichen Jin mentioned the custom of Jing Yao. It can be seen that the surname Jin has been around for a long time.
