The origin of "长孙"
There are two origins of the surname Zhangsun (Zhǎngsūn 长grandson): 1. From the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Sha Mo Xiong was modified by the Tuoba family. The eldest grandson's surname was originally Tuoba, after Tuoba Song, the third brother of Emperor Xianwen of the Later Wei Dynasty. Tuoba Yulu, the great-grandfather of Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Yulu, had two sons: the eldest son Shamoxiong was a southerner, named Tuoba; the younger son Shi Yijian was Tuoba Gui's grandfather, and Tuoba Gui established the Northern Wei Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Later, because Shamoxiong was the son of his great-grandfather, he gave his son the title of Changsun. Changsun Song later rose to the rank of Taiwei and was named King of Peiping; his nephew Changsun Daosheng repeatedly made military exploits and became prime minister, and was named King of Shangdang. Because of his contribution to Wei, Tuoba Song was hereditary as a royal noble. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, the surname Tuoba was the eldest son of the royal clan of the Wei Dynasty, so he changed his surname to Changsun. 2. It comes from the Changsun family before the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to the "Hanshu Yiwenzhi" and "The Classic of Filial Piety", there are two chapters about Changsun Shun and Changsun Clan. There was a Changsun family in the Western Han Dynasty.
Got the surname of the ancestor
Changsun Shun. There are two theories about the origin of the Changsun family: First, as recorded in "Tongzhi? Clan Briefing" and "Old Tang Book? Biography of Changsun Wuji", the Changsun family comes from Shamoxiong of the Northern Wei royal family, because Shamoxiong He was a man from the south, his name was the Ba family, and he was the eldest son of Tuoba Gui. After Tuoba Gui established the Northern Wei Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, Shamoxiong gave his son Song the title of Changsun family. Secondly, it is recorded in "Hanshu Yiwenzhi" that: Changsun Shun believes that there was a Changsun family before the Northern Wei Dynasty. In short, the history of Changsun's surname is about 2000 years. Descendants of the Changsun family respect Changsun Shun as the ancestor of those with the surname Changsun.
Migration distribution
The surname Changsun is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan. During the ancient Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a member of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty named Tuoba Song. Because of his great contributions, the court named him a royal lord, and this title could be inherited from generation to generation. When Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in power, Emperor Xiaowen learned from Han culture and changed the surname Tuoba to Yuan. Emperor Xiaowen's name was Yuanhong. The descendants of Tuoba Song changed their surname to Changsun, which means the descendants of the royal family's eldest family. This surname also echoes the title of the royal family. The famous family surnamed Changsun lived in Jiyang (now northwest of Dingtao, Shandong Province, or northeast of Lanfeng, Henan Province). According to "Hundred Family Surnames in the County", Changsun's family looked out of Jiyang County. During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, part of Chenliu County was placed in Jiyang County, in the area of ??present-day Lankao County, Henan Province.
