The surname Cen ranked 67th among the hundreds of surnames in the Song Dynasty. It is not among the top 100 surnames in contemporary mainland China and Taiwan. In history, the surname Cen was once a glorious and dignified surname, especially in the Han and Tang dynasties. The Cen family in Jiyang produced numerous talents, including generals and ministers, and was extremely prominent. Their children were highly valued by the court. They seemed to be a famous family at that time. Jili in the Han Dynasty was the northeast of Xinye County in Henan Province.
The origin of the surname is the first.
It comes from the surname Ji, after Ji Qu, the cousin of King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. It is a surname named after the country. During the ancient Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou named Ji Yao, the half-brother of his father (King Wen of Zhou), as the son of Cen, and his cousin Ji Qu as the son of Cen (today's Hancheng, Shaanxi), thus establishing the Cen State. The name and surname have a long history of more than 3,000 years. Regarding the origin of the Cen family, it can be found in the "Lü Family Spring and Autumn Annals" written by Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of the Qin State. The book records: "King Wen of Zhou named Qu, the son of his half-brother Yao, the son of Cen. The place where he lived today is Cen Ting of Liang State. "It is also recorded in the historical book "Tongzhi Clan Brief": "King Wu of Zhou conferred the title of Cenzi on Qu, the son of King Wen's half-brother Yao..." The content of these two textual research texts can be said to be completely consistent. The only difference is, The former believes that Cenzi was granted the title by King Wen of Zhou, while the latter believes that it was granted by King Wu of Zhou. During the Han Dynasty, the Cen clan was relatively concentrated in the Nanyang Basin. Nanyang belonged to the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period, Rang County during the Qin Dynasty, and was established as a county in the early Western Han Dynasty. This place is not only the ancestral home of the Cen clan, but also the origin of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty and the birthplace of the Shu-Han regime in the Three Kingdoms. It has a long-lasting influence. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu fought in Xinye and established the Eastern Han Dynasty regime with the assistance of a group of civil and military heroes represented by Cen Peng. Cen Peng was able to hold an army well and was brave and good at fighting. He was later canonized as one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.
After the Han Dynasty, most people of the Cen clan in China respected Cen Peng, the "General Wu Yinhou who conquered the south" as the ancestor of the surname.
Origin 2
Comes from the Baiyue ethnic group, from the Lu people of the ancient Baiyue ethnic group during the Qin and Han Dynasties. They changed their surnames to surnames in the Han culture. According to the historical record "A Survey of Surnames": "Cen, looking out of Nanyang, there are many Cen people in Suo and Yue." The Luo people, the Li people mostly recorded in ancient books, are mainly distributed in today's Maoming area. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the ancient residents of counties in western Guangdong and Liangyang were called "Li people". From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Li people lived in this area for more than a thousand years. They have made significant contributions in reclaiming the land of western Guangdong, maintaining national unity, and creating the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation. As time passes and ethnic groups merge, the Li people have long since ceased to exist, and their historical records are difficult to trace. The Li people are members of the ancient Baiyue ethnic group. They live in the south of the Yangtze River. Those who live in Guangdong and Guangxi are called Nanyue (Southern Guangdong). The earliest record of the activities of the Li people can be found in the "Book of the Later Han: Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu" written by Fan Ye, a famous historian of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty: "In the twelfth year of Jianwu (AD 36), Jiuzhen traveled outside the barbarians. He led his people to admire him and attached him to him, and he was named the King of Guihanli." Li Xian, Prince Zhanghuai of the Tang Dynasty, annotated this record and said: "Li, another name for Man, is now called the Li tribe."
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the activities of the Li people became more active, and there were more records about them in historical records, which also pointed out the geographical scope where the Li people lived. Wan Zhen of Wu State said in "Nanzhou Foreign Objects": The Li people live in "the south of Guangzhou, Cangwu (Wuzhou, Guangxi), Yulin (Guixian, Guangxi), Hepu (Hepu, Guangxi), Ningpu (Hengpu, Guangxi). County) and the center of the five counties of Gaoliang (Yangjiang, Guangdong), covering thousands of miles. "During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, some outstanding figures appeared among the Li people, who played a decisive role in the social and political life at that time. The best among them are Mrs. Xian and her grandson Feng An, who are powerful in Lingnan. In the late Tang Dynasty, the name "Li people" became increasingly rare. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty, there were basically no records of the activities of the Li people. The main reason why the Li people gradually disappear is due to several ethnic integrations. In an environment of long-term interaction with Han people and other ethnic groups, the Li people gradually accepted the advanced feudal production methods and culture of the Han people in the Central Plains. In addition, many Li people intermarried with Han people. Over time, they became indistinguishable from the Han people.
A large number of people of the Li ethnic group who have been sinicized were included in the national household registration, thus losing their identity as members of the Li ethnic group. Another reason is that they were expelled from their place of origin by the feudal dynasty. In the fourth year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty (AD 910), Meng Xi, the leader of the Li tribe in Leizhou, and others rebelled. The Liang Dynasty sent Sima Chen Xiang, the capital of the Liang Dynasty, to suppress the rebellion. Meng Xi and others "led the crowd far away". After that, there were basically no Li people on the Leizhou Peninsula. Under the high-pressure policy of the feudal dynasty, the Li people in western Guangdong traveled far away, and some of them went to Hainan Island to join the Li people who originally lived there. Among the people, "Li" and "Li" have the same pronunciation, which has developed into today's Li people. Some of the Li people fled to Guangxi and merged with the Li people living there, developing into a branch of the Zhuang ethnic group today.
In addition, there are many Cen ethnic minorities in today's southern region. For example, there is a county called Cenxi in the southwest of Cangwu County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. There is also a place called Cengong in Guizhou Province, which may be related to the local area. There are many Cen family members involved.
Origin Three
It comes from the Zhuang ethnic group and the Gutong ethnic group during the Song Dynasty. It is a Chinese-style change of surname to surname. The Gutong tribe, the Zhuang tribe, is a branch of the Guli tribe in the second origin. Legend has it that the ancestors of the Zhuang nationality originally had no surnames, so the leaders of each tribe gathered in a place called Jiangyan (now Qingquan Mountain, Fuyang, Zhejiang) to agree on the surnames of each tribe. Because the host tribe is the most powerful, he is promoted as the overall leader, and his surname is "Huang" (king, emperor). The leader of the tribe that mainly raises cattle takes "Mo" (cattle) as his surname; the tribe that can hunt birds The leader's surname was "Lu" (big bird), and the tribal leader who came with the dog took "Ma" (sacred dog) as his surname. With this, the meeting ended successfully, and everyone cheered because they had a surname. But the tribal leader who killed cows and cooked for everyone in Jiangyan Land saw that everyone had a surname but he did not get one, so he got angry and slapped the chopping board with his knife to show his displeasure. After seeing this, the host of the meeting had an idea and gave him the surname "Cen" (chopping board). In the end, everyone was happy. From then on, the Cen family of the Zhuang ethnic group was born, and the people of the Zhuang ethnic group all regarded it as a surname, which has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
Since the Song Dynasty, all the clan leaders have been Cen. In their genealogy, the ancestor is Cen Zhongshu, a general under the so-called general Di Qing and a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang. Later generations became the local magistrate of Jiangyoutian Prefecture. (Big toast).
The ancestor who got the surname
Cenzi. His surname is Ji and his given name is Qu. He is the son of Ji Yao, the half-brother of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, and the queen of Gulingzi Kingdom. After King Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty and destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, he made great achievements in the world. Among them, his younger brother Qu was granted the title of viscount in Cen, so he was also called Cenzi. After Cenzi, they took the country as their surname, called Cenzi, and respected Cenzi as He got the surname Ancestor.

Since Cen Peng, the reputation of the Cen family has skyrocketed. Through the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, for almost a thousand years, their reputation has never declined.
During the pre-Qing Dynasty, another very remarkable figure emerged in Guangxi in the south. In the Sino-French-Vietnam campaign, he used the "ground camp method" to defeat the French army. Cen Yuying, a famous anti-French general, defeated the menacing French army in Lintao, and other provinces heard the news and responded.
After the Sino-French War, he served as a high-ranking official and became the prince and tutor of the Qing Dynasty, where he was extremely prominent.
According to the historical record "History of the Cen Clan": "Qu", the son of Ji Yao, the half-brother of King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, was granted the title of "Cen". Because of this, he developed into a clan in Nanyang County, Henan Province. The famous family is known as "Nanyangwang" in the world. It has been in the same line for more than 3,000 years.

Later, many descendants took over the Xiamiao Village, one kilometer east of the ancient Jiyang City site, which is Cen. The location of Peng's former residence is still home to more than 20 families of the Cen clan.
Most of the Cen clan members whose ancestral homes are in Guangdong and Fujian and who live overseas respect Cen Yaojun, a descendant of Cen Peng and a famous figure in the Song Dynasty. As the ancestor, his family roots are still in Xinye, Henan Province.
