The origin of the surname
The first origin: it originated from the surname Si, which came from the fiefdom of the descendants of Dayu, and was named after the name of the fiefdom.
After Zhou Wu King Jifa destroyed Shang Zhou, he began to look for the descendants of Dayu. It was not until King Ji Song of Zhou Cheng began to pursue the descendants of the sages and ancient emperors that he finally discovered that Lou Yunqu, the thirty-sixth grandson of Dayu, was in Kuaiji (today's Shaoxing, Zhejiang), so he summoned him and specially gave "wood" as "lou". ", he was granted the title of Duke of Donglou, and was appointed to Qiyi (now Qixian County, Henan) to continue the ancient Qi Kingdom and be in charge of the sacrifices to Yu.
From Donglou Gong to Qimou Marrying Gong, Sima Qian recorded in "Historical Records" that the emperor passed down four generations. The years are unknown, but Qimou Marrying Gong was in power during the reign of King Li of Zhou Dynasty. There was a gap of nearly 250 years between when Hu was in power and when King Cheng of Zhou was granted the title of Duke Donglou. During this period, there were ten Zhou kings. Therefore, some scholars speculate that there must be some gaps in Qi's lineage during this period.
After that, the descendants of Lou Yunqu took the surname Lou as their surname, and took Qiyi as the birthplace of the Lou family. Later, they went to the side of "Mu" to become the Lou family and became the main branch of the Lou family.
The state of Qi was weak and sandwiched between Qi and Lu, so it was often invaded. For example, in the first year of King Huan of Zhou, the first year of Ji Lin (the 32nd year of Qi Wugong, 719 BC), the state of Ju launched a large-scale attack Attacked the State of Qi; in the ninth year of King Huan of Zhou (the 40th year of Duke Qiwu, 711 BC), the State of Lu used the excuse that Lord Qi was "disrespectful" to attack Qi many times, invaded Qi, and occupied Qi fields.
Qi State formed an alliance with Jin State in order to protect itself.
By the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi State was forced to move eastward under the pressure of surrounding powers. At that time, Qi State was successively attacked by Song State, Huaiyi State, Xu State and other forces, and was unable to gain a foothold in Henan. It even temporarily took refuge in Zhu State near Teng County, Shandong Province, and then moved to Xintai area, Shandong Province. Later, Qi State was forced to continue to migrate eastward.
In the sixth year of Ji Zheng, King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty (9 years after the death of Qicheng Gongsi, 646 BC), when Qi Chenggong was on the throne, he moved Qi State to Yuanling, which is near today's Changle County, Shandong Province. . In the first year of Jigui, King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (the sixth year of Siyigu, Qiwen Gong, 544 BC), Qiwen Gong moved the country to Chunyu (now Anqiu, Shandong).
From the late Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period, the internal affairs of Qi were unstable, and there were successive cases of the monarch's younger brother committing regicide and becoming independent.
In the fourteenth year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (506 BC), Qi Yao Gong Si Cheng passed away and Qi Yin Gong Si Qi came to the throne. However, only a few months later, Qi Yin Gong was succeeded by his younger brother Si Qi. Then he killed Qili Gong. The good times did not last long. After the death of Qili Gong, he passed the throne to his son Qi Min Gong Si Wei. After reigning for sixteen years, Qi Min Gong was killed by his younger brother again in the fifth year of King Zhou Yuan (471 BC). Si Qianlu killed him, this was Qi Ai Gong. There are not many records of the deeds of Qi State in the historical book "Historical Records". It basically just describes the lineage of the king. The only incidents mentioned in Qi State are these two brothers fighting each other.
In the 24th year of Zhou Zhending and Wang Jijie’s reign during the Warring States Period (the 44th year of King Xiong Zhang of Chu Hui, the fourth year of Si Chun, Duke Jian of Qi, 445 BC), King Hui of Chu destroyed Qi State in one fell swoop. , Qi Jiangong reigned for only four years and became the last monarch of the Qi Kingdom.
One of the descendants of Duke Qi Jian was previously granted a title in Lou Yi (today's cities in Shandong). After the country was destroyed, the surname was changed to the name of the place, also known as the Lou family, which has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
The second origin: The surname Si comes from the Lilou family, a minister of Emperor Yu in ancient times. It is a surname based on the name of the ancestor.
It is recorded in the historical book "A Survey of Surnames": "Xia Yuchen had the Lilou family, see Yue Jingjing."
The Lilou family was one of the legendary subordinates of Dayu. Minister, he invented the plow for plowing the land, which greatly improved the efficiency of farming. For this great achievement, Dayu gave him the name Lilou.
It is said that the Lilou family was impatient, so he caused a lot of trouble for Dayu, but he also made a lot of contributions to Dayu's flood control process.
Among the descendants of the Lilou family, there are those who take their ancestor's name as their surname and are called the Lou family.
The third origin: originated from the surname Ji, from the country of Zhu Lou, and is named after the country.
According to the historical book "Customs and Customs", there was a Zhu Lou State (today's Zouxian County, Shandong Province) during the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Zhu Lou State, also known as the Zhu State, was a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
According to the historical document "Tengxian Jinshi Zhi": "In the 10th year of Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1830), in the Fenghuang Ridge ditch eighty miles northeast of the city, Bo Yufu's utensils were found... Among them, Li The word "邾" appears in the inscriptions on bronze vessels such as "邾" and "炾" in "Shuowen Jiezi". /p>
The word "Zhu" of Zhu State, whether in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Spring and Autumn Period, is written in the shape of a spider, which is now the word "Spider". Accordingly, historian Guo Keyu believes in the article "A Brief Introduction to the History of the Zhu State": "From the shape of the word spider, we know that the ancestors of the Zhu State once used spiders as totems. After the founding of the country, spiders were used as the name of the country. Later, for the convenience of writing, spiders were used as a totem. For this reason, we changed the word "Zhu" from Yi Zhusheng, and the word "Zhu" in "Zhu Gong Zhong" is written like this. "
Totem worship is one of the earliest religious beliefs in primitive society, which is related to the clan. Communes happened at the same time. In documents written after the Spring and Autumn Period, the character "邾" is also written in several different ways. It is written as "Zhu" in "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan"; it is written as "Zou" in "Guoyu Zhengyu" and "Mencius"; it is written as "Zou" in "Historical Records" and "Hanshu Dili Zhi". The pronunciation is the same but the words are different, but they actually mean the same thing.
The Zhu Lou Kingdom has many records in historical books. "Hanshu Geography": "The Zhu state, with the surname Cao, was destroyed by Chu in the 29th generation." It is recorded in the historical book "Zuo Zhuan·Thirteenth Year of Wen Gong" (614 BC): "In the year of Zhu Wen Gong Bu moved to Yi".
Before Zhu Wen Gong, the Zhu Lou Kingdom was gradually divided into three countries, namely the Zhu Kingdom, the Xiao Zhu (Ni) Kingdom and the Chan Kingdom. It was historically known as the "Three Kingdoms of Zhu", which was around the time of the Spring and Autumn Period.
After that, there was a lack of detailed records of Zhu Lou’s lineage. People can only simply know that the Zhu Lou Kingdom was passed down for twenty-nine generations, and was finally swallowed up by the Chu Kingdom together with the Xiao Zhu (Ni) Kingdom and the Chai Kingdom during the reign of King Xiong Liangfu of Chu Xuan (369 BC to 340 BC). .
After the fall of the Zhu Lou Kingdom, King Xuan of Chu moved his royal family members and nobles to Zhu City (today's Huanggang, Hubei Province), while other non-royal members and civilians moved to Qi, Lu and other countries. After the loss of the country, the royal clans and their subjects of the Zhu Lou Kingdom, Xiao Zhu (Ni) Kingdom, and the Ban Kingdom mostly took their surnames from their home countries and were called the Lou family, the Zhu family, the Ni family, the Ran family, the Zou family, The Zuo family, the Cao family, the Chen family, the Tian family, the Wang family, the Li family, etc., have been passed down from generation to generation in memory of their homeland.
The fourth origin: The surname Jiang comes from Ganlouzi, a hermit of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a surname based on the name of an ancestor.
Shao Si, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, recorded in "Explanation of Surnames": "Gan Lou, lt; Hanshu·Yiwenzhigt;: There was a hermit named Ganlouzi in Qi who wrote five books." In the historical book "Tongzhi· It is also recorded in Clan Brief: "There was a son of Gan Lou in the Zhou Dynasty."
Among the descendants of Gan Lou, there are those who have the ancestor's name "Gan Lou" as a compound surname, and are called the Gan Lou family. Later, some people simplified the text They have the single surnames Lou and Gan.
The fifth origin: it comes from the surname Jiang, from Li Lou, a disciple of Peng Zu, who is named after his ancestor.
Peng Zu, whose surname was San Ming Keng, was also known as Peng Keng. Legend has it that he was famous for his longevity.
Pengzu was originally a legendary immortal in the pre-Qin period, and was later regarded as an immortal by Taoism. According to legend, he was born on June 6 of the lunar calendar. His father, Lu Zhong, and his mother, Nvhuan, were the grandsons of the ancient emperor Zhuanxu and the eighth generation descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
Li Lou was one of the few disciples accepted by Peng Zu. Later, he could observe a hundred steps away and discern every detail. Historically, he was called Li Lou Gong.
Mencius later specially discussed: "The wisdom of Li Lou and the skill of Gongshu Zi cannot form a square circle without following rules; the wisdom of Shi Kuang cannot correct the five tones without following the six laws; the way of Yao and Shun" , Without benevolent government, the world cannot be governed peacefully.” It is especially pointed out that the monarch must be “clearly aware of everything” in politics.
Among the descendants of Li Lou, there are those who take their ancestor's name as their surname, and they are called the Li Lou family. Later provincial texts simplified it into the single surnames Lou family and Li family.
The sixth origin: Originated from the Xianbei people, which is a sinicization of the surname into a surname.
According to the historical book "Wei Shu·Guanshi Zhi":
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, among the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were the Pilou family (疋娄family), the Yilou family, and the Gai family. The Lou clan, Yina Lou clan (Yina Lou, Yina Lou) and other tribes all changed their names to the single-character Chinese surname "Lou" during the sinicization reform process after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and took over the Central Plains. , also known as the Lou family, gradually integrated into the Han nationality and has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
The seventh origin: originated from the Manchu people, which was a Chinese change of surname to surname.
According to the historical record "General Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty, Clan Briefing, Surnames of the Eight Banners of Manchuria":
The Yuhuru clan of the Manchu people takes the name of the land as their surname, and the Manchu name is Yuhuru Hala. Erha (now the Russian region on the other side of the Heihe River in Heilongjiang), Neyin (now the upper reaches of the Songhua River in Fusong, Jilin), Anchulaku (southwest of Antu in today's Jilin, the area around the Erdao River in the upper reaches of the Songhua River), Yuhulu (now the upper reaches of the Songhua River in Heilongjiang) In places such as Yelabuga (Russia) on the right bank and the Changbai Mountains, after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, many Chinese surnames were Lou, Yu, Yu, Yu, Yu, etc.
The ancestors of the surnames: Qi Jian Gong, Li Lou, Gan Lou Zi and Li Lou.
