Exploring the origin of the surname "Deng" and the changes in the ancestral home place

1. The origin of the surname Deng

1. It comes from the surname Si (the ancestor of Xia, Dayu, was named Si). According to the historical record "History of the Road", it is said that Chong Bo Gun's wife Nv Zhi ate coix kernels and became pregnant and gave birth to Yu. Yu was later given the surname Si, so the surname of the Kingdom of Xia was Si. When Yu's grandson Xia Hou Zhongkang was in power, he granted his youngest son the title of Deng (now Dengzhou, Henan), a vassal state, and called him Lord Deng. Descendants of Deng Jun take Deng as their surname.

2. Derived from the surname Zi (the ancestor of the Shang clan was named Zi) or the surname Man. According to "Yuanhe Surname Compilation" and "Guangyun", Shang King Gaozong Wuding granted his uncle (Manji) to Mancheng in the Deng Kingdom (today's Dengzhou, Henan). He was named Manhou and called the Man family. The Man family was later named It was changed to the state of Deng (this state was located in the southwest of Meng County, Henan Province today), which lasted for more than 600 years through the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the State of Deng was an important feudal state with different surnames in the south of the Zhou Dynasty. However, it was destroyed by the State of Chu in 678 BC because it was an enemy of Chu. In order to commemorate their homeland, the descendants of Marquis Deng changed their surname to Deng one after another, and the surname Deng was called Zhengzong in history.

3. From Li. According to the "Preface to the Genealogy of the Deng Family in Anhua", Li Congyi, the 8th son of Li Yu, the later lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, was named King Deng. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty in 975 AD, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty ordered the arrest of the Southern Tang clan. Li Tianhe, son of Li Congyi, fled and took his father's fiefdom as his surname, and his descendants later called him the Deng family.

(1). The surname Deng originated from the country of Deng

1. The ancestor of the surname Shou: Manji

The "First Aid Chapter on Surnames" says: "Deng, the name of an ancient country, originally had the surname Man, and was later called the Deng family. Taking the country as a surname was the beginning of getting the surname and receiving the surname. .

As early as the reign of Emperors Yan and Huang, an ancient tribe named after Deng (Deng) had appeared in the area of ??present-day Dengzhou. The leader of this tribe, Deng Bowen, had joined the tribal alliance in the Central Plains during the reign of Emperor Huang. , and followed the Yellow Emperor to fight with Chiyou in the wilderness of Zhuolu. In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Wang Zhongkang enfeoffed his son to Dengdi. >

The descendants of the Yellow Emperor were originally surnamed Ji. Although the surname Deng also belonged to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, people believed that the surname Deng was derived from the surname Zi because the surname originated from the system of emperor Ku's sonship.

Qi gives birth to Zhaoming, Zhaoming gives birth to Xiangtu, Xiangtu gives birth to Cao Yu, Cao Yu gives birth to Ming, Ming produces Zhen, Zhen produces Wei, Wei gives birth to Yi, Bao Yi gives birth to C, Bao C gives birth to Lord Ren, and marries a wife. It was named Fudu. When Fudu saw the white air penetrating the moon, he was inspired by Tianyi, which was Chengtang. Chengtang became the holy king and founded the Shang Dynasty. The uncle was enfeoffed to the land of Deng and established the Deng State. "Lu Shi·Houji Jiu" records: "In the early days, Wu Ding granted his uncle the title of Marquis of Man in Hebei Province. There were Man clan, Man clan, etc. You and Deng Qi came out. ""Shiben" said: Gaozong Wuding "conferred the title of Marquis of Deng on his uncle in Hebei, and his surname was Yan."

In the 19th generation of Chengtang biography, Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi's son Wu Ding, was a pioneer As a monarch, Wu Ding greatly expanded the territory of the Shang Dynasty.

Wuding occupied the area of ??present-day Henan Province and enfeoffed many small princely states between the Han River and the Huaihe River. The place near Nanyang City in the province is called Deng. Manji founded the country between Zhaoling in Yingchuan, and the country was named Deng State. Therefore, Manji is the ancient ancestor of the surname Deng (the place of Deng State is in today's Nanyang City, Henan Province). , after the Qin Dynasty, it was called Deng County, which belonged to Nanyang County. In the Sui Dynasty, the county was changed to a state, and the place where Deng County was located was called Dengzhou)

After the Spring and Autumn Period, the wives of Duke Zheng Zhuang and King Wu of Chu were both daughters of Deng. He also actively participated in national political affairs, showed high knowledge and talent, and demonstrated Deng's rich cultural heritage. "Spring and Autumn Period: The Seventh Year of Duke Huan" records: "Deng Houwu came to the court. "Deng Hou paid a state visit to Lu. This was a major diplomatic event. Through the visit to Lu, Deng's political status among the countries of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was improved.

In the 17th year of King Huan of Zhou (703 BC) One day, Dao Shuo, the envoy from Chu State to Deng State, and another envoy from Ba State were attacked by (Xia) (you) people in the southern border of Deng State. Their property was plundered and people were killed. When the king of Chu heard the news, he was furious. He sent Doulian to lead the Chuba coalition to attack the country of Xia. When Deng knew about it, he sent his nephew and nephew to lead the army to assist the country of Xia. The "Battle of Chuba and Deng" broke out. After three advances and retreats, , the Chu-Ba coalition used the tactics of flanking to defeat the Deng State. This was the earliest war in Xiangfan since written records.

Fifteen years later, when King Chu Wen led his army to attack the Deng State northward. During the reign of Shen and Lu, Deng Guohou, the uncle of King Wen, hosted a banquet in honor of his powerful nephew.

At this time, a group of officials in the state of Deng, represented by nephews, nephews, and adopted nephews, strongly advocated taking the opportunity to kill King Wen of Chu. But Marquis Deng was stubborn and refused to listen to advice. As a result, Chu Fashen attacked Deng State that year when he returned. The state of Deng was finally destroyed by the state of Chu. After the fall of the country, the descendants of Deng Hou and the people of Deng State changed their surnames to Deng one after another in order to commemorate Deng State. For example, Deng Hule served as a minister in the Zhou court, Deng Liao served as a good minister in Chu, and Deng Ji served as a wise official in Wu.

2. Blood ancestors: Wu Li and Deng Qihou

The blood ancestors of the Deng surname should be Wu Li and Deng Qihou, the monarchs of the Deng State. During the heyday of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was mentioned that "Ba, Pu, Chu, and Deng are the southern lands of our country". "Guoyu·Zhengyu" also said: "When it comes to Zhou, there are Jingman, Shen, Lu, Ying, Deng, Chen, Cai, Sui, and Tang in the south." The territory of Deng State is regarded as the southern territory of the Zhou Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, on the occasion of Cheng and Kang, there is a record that the King of Zhou sent Jue Yu to visit Deng Jun. One of the "Six Anzhou Weapons" unearthed in Xiaogan during the Northern Song Dynasty records that King Zhao sent a minister to inspect Deng during his southern campaign, indicating that Deng was one of the important places in the south of the Zhou Dynasty, and that there were political and economic conflicts between Deng and the Zhou royal family. and cultural connections.

"The Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames" says: The surname Man belongs to the country of the lords of the Yin Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Deng Houwu left Chaolu and was later destroyed by King Wen of Chu. It is said that the Deng family came from the surname Zi. His ancestor Wu Ding of the Yin Dynasty granted his uncle Manji to Deng and gave him the surname Man. It was passed down to Pifang, Yundu and Wuli, so he took the country's surname. Generally the last one is correct. The person who received the surname Deng should be Wuli, the Marquis of Deng in the Spring and Autumn Period. History books say that Wuli was the monarch of the Deng State, and his descendants took the country as their surname. "Guangyun" said: "Yin Wuding granted his uncle the title of Denghou in Hebei, and later took it as a surname."

But the Deng family name Wuli actually originated from Emperor Yan with the surname Jiang, or from the surname Ji. Huangdi may be derived from the surname Zi, there are different opinions.

According to the "Genealogy of the Deng Family in Wuxi, Jiangsu": After the Deng family came out of Emperor Yan, they were given the surname Jiang and were granted the title of Rong. He was named Jiang Rongzi. During the Zhou Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis in the Deng State. I left the Duke of Lu and went to Lu, and later returned to Jin Hui Gong. Hui Gong granted him barren land as a settlement, but his descendants did not succumb to the control of the Jin State. The Jin State was about to arrest them. Fan Xuanzi was there. After mediation, my son and grandson returned to Nanyang and regained their country. This is where the surname Deng comes from. Some people also say that the music played in Deng's Yuefu belongs to Zheng, which is evidence that the surname Deng is derived from the surname Jiang. Some people say that the Deng family came from the surname Ji. "The Genealogy of the Deng Family in Wuyang, Jiangxi Province" prefaced by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty said: The Deng family originated from Gao Xin, the great grandson of the Yellow Emperor, who was born in Houji. He was passed down to his uncle Yu and granted the title of Tang. His son Xie Gong changed the name of the country to Jin, and five When I was born, I was granted the title of Marquis of Deng. He was the first monarch of the Deng Kingdom.

2. The myth that the surname Deng originated from Deng Lin

"Lu Shi·Record of Country Names IV" records: "Deng, Zhongkangzi country, the northern border of Chu. Shi Yun stopped it with Deng Lin, today's Nanyang." Linpa Town, 30 kilometers southwest of today's Dengzhou City, was called "Denglin Town" in ancient times. It also had the village names Denggang and Dengying. The names of these villages and towns may be related to the ancient Deng State. Its capital should be in today's Dengzhou City. Denglin is a forest in ancient China. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Northern Classic" says: "Kuafu chases away with the sun. When he enters the sun, he is thirsty and wants to drink. He drinks from the river and Wei, but the river and Wei are not enough. He drinks from Daze in the north and has not yet arrived. , Tao died of thirst, abandoned his staff, and transformed into Deng Lin. "There is a similar legend in Liezi Tangwen.

There is another myth related to Deng Lin. It is said that the surname Deng is a descendant of Xia Yu. Xia Yu's great-grandson Zhongkang granted one of his sons the title of Denglin and established the Deng State. Later, it was destroyed during the Shang Dynasty. The survivors of the Deng State used the name of the country as their surname, and their surname was Deng from then on.

In history, there are at least two people named Deng who took "Deng Lin" as their name (namely Deng Minglin). One was from the Southern Song Dynasty, originally from Fuqing County, Fujian Province, with the courtesy name Chucai and Chunxi ( During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1174-1189), he ascended the throne and was granted the title of Chief Registrar of Taihe. He was often friends with Xin Qiji, Zhou Bida, Chen Boliang, Dai Xi, Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian, etc., and wrote to the court three times to ridicule the government. The imperial meeting wanted to confer the title of official in Zhongdu, but some people blocked the appointment. Later, he was awarded the title of Cheng of Shicheng County (today's southeastern Jiangxi Province). There is "Collected Works of Xu Zhai" handed down from generation to generation. The other one is from the Ming Dynasty, originally from Xinhui County, Guangdong Province. His original name was Yi, also known as Guanshan, with the courtesy name Shizhai and the nickname Tui'an. He was a member of the Hongwu family and was awarded the official title of Gui County. 》. Soon he left Beijing to teach in Nanchang, and then moved to head the Ministry of Personnel. Xuande (the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, 1426-1435) disobeyed the imperial edict and was exiled to Hangzhou, where he died. He was good at writing poems, classical prose and lyrics, and his works "Tui'an Collection" and "Hushan Tour Ode" have been handed down to the world.

(3) The surname Deng originated from Deng Xi

According to the "Compilation of Yuanhe Surnames", another source of the surname Deng is Deng Xi, a native of Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Deng Xi was born in 545 BC and died in 501 BC, only more than a hundred years later than Deng Qihou. He was a very influential figure at the time and was one of the thinkers in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The initiator of "learning". It is said that he "loved to be clever" and once used the principles of ancient mechanics to make an orange tangerine for drawing water, which was very convenient for a while. He also taught people to learn how to argue lawsuits, to understand how to "explain two alternatives and make endless arguments", and advocated the "uncovering and sticking" method to discuss politics. He also drafted some criminal laws and regulations, which were carved on bamboo slips and named "Bamboo Punishment" to supplement the shortcomings of Zheng's "Book of Punishments". As a result, he was killed by the rulers. He left behind two chapters of "Deng Xi" and "Hanshu Yiwenzhi", which was listed as a famous scholar and has been lost.

The place where the Deng family originated, according to the "Spring and Autumn Annals", there are three places in Deng: 1. In the tenth year of Yin Gong's reign, Guild Qihou formed an alliance with Deng. This Deng land was in the state of Lu, and his hometown is in today's Ziyang County, Shandong Province. 2. In the second year of Duke Huan, Cai Hou and Zheng Bo met in Deng. The land of Deng was in Cai State. Therefore, this place is in the southeast of present-day Yancheng County, Henan Province. 3. In the ninth year of Duke Huan, Chuzi sent Daoshuo to hire Bake to the state of Deng, which was the birthplace of the Deng family. It was located in Dengcheng, southwest of Yingchuan. It belonged to Nanyang County in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was changed to Dengzhou in the Sui Dynasty. It is Deng County, Henan Province.

When the Song Dynasty conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, he followed the order of the later emperor and paid tribute with gold and silk, so he stayed in Bianjing. Soon, he was sent back to Jinling and ordered Li Yu to surrender, but Li Yu did not agree. At the end of Kaibao (975), the Southern Tang Dynasty collapsed. Li Tianhe (Heng), the son of Li Congyi, hid his name in order to avoid being executed by Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. He took his father's title as his surname, which was Deng.

(3), Migration distribution

▲The migration situation of the Deng surname before the Western Han Dynasty

Before the Han Dynasty, most of its activity range was in Henan and northern Hubei. Deng Xi (545 BC - 501 BC), a native of Zheng State in the late Spring and Autumn Period, was the earliest famous figure named Deng in history. He served as a doctor in the state of Zheng. He opposed the ritual rule of not allowing people to know about disputes and prohibiting people from competing. He practiced bamboo punishment and advocated the rule of punishment (form) and name. Zichan "cast punishment books", and Deng Xi taught people how to practice litigation. "Lu Shi Chun Qiu Li Wei" records: "In the Zheng State, there were many ministers and counties who wrote letters. There was no county letter in the Zichan Order, so Deng Xi wrote it. There was no letter in the Zichan Order, so Deng Xi relied on it. If the order was endless, Deng Xi responded. Infinitely." In his legal battle of wits with the rulers, Deng Xi started his "Debate on Criminal Names" by thinking about the accuracy of the expressions of legal provisions, which was the first of its kind in history.

The Deng surname is a family full of pioneering spirit. Before the Western Han Dynasty, the Deng surname people had migrated to places such as Fuyang, Anhui, Chenggu, Shaanxi, Leshan, Sichuan, and Guangzhi, Vietnam.

▲The migration situation of the Deng family during the Eastern Han Dynasty

The Eastern Han Dynasty was the most glorious period for the Deng family. The Deng people represented by Deng Yu were noble for generations. According to the "Nanyang Deng Genealogy", Deng Yu is the 47th grandson of Man Gong, the ancestor of the Deng surname. "Xu Hanshu" says that Deng Biao "was an ancestor of Chu, Deng Kuang first settled in Xinye, and his descendants made mulberry farming their business." Deng Biao and Deng Yu have the same ancestry, so Deng Kuang should be the ancestor of the Deng family in Xinye.

Among them, 29 people have been granted the title of marquis, 2 people have been granted the title of duke, 13 people are below the rank of general, and 14 people have been appointed as officials of two thousand stones. , Z2 people were appointed as school ministers, as many as 48 people were appointed as state pastors and governors, and there were countless others who were appointed as ministers, generals, doctors, Lang, and ministers.

Although Deng Mengnu, the great-granddaughter of Deng Yu, was the queen of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, The family was once again glorious, but only for a while, and its prosperity was far less than that of Deng Yu, Deng Xun, and Deng Zhi. Especially when Emperor An came to power, the eunuch Jiang Jing and others cleverly framed the Deng family for obstructing Emperor An's administration. Emperor An deposed Deng Hong and other children named Deng as common people.
