Some Miao people in the eastern Guizhou dialect area practice the system of father-son joint names. In Kaili City, huangping county, Leishan County and Danzhai County, most girls' Miao names begin with "A", while boys' Miao names begin with "dia". In Jianhe County, the father-son naming system should be followed by Miao surname, and the first name should be followed by the last name. Most of the names are named after the twelve earthly branches and natural plants and animals.
such as: Wu (Ngux), Wei (Mais), Shen (Hxenb), You (Yul), Hai (Hat), Ugly (Hxud), Yin (Yenx), etc. Among all natural things, such as: flowers (bangx), grass (niangx), water (eb.
For example, in the zaid daox family in Nanbaozhai, Jianhe County, the Han surname is mostly Yang, and the word generation is "Zai, Zheng, Tong, Guang, Chang, Sheng and Xiu".
Seven generations of Miao descendants are: Nguyen Yenx Daox-Yenx Jeex Daox-Jeex Yangx Daox-Yangx Qiaol Daox-Qiaobo Island and so on. Formed a series of family genealogies.
In the branch of Xi Embroidery in Nanzhai Town, Jianhe County, Han surname should be added before Miao surname. For example, the name of Liufuzhai is hxenb bod niel, and the name of Zhanliuzhai is nil sanb jeex. Take the name "Long Ni Sang Jiu" as an example. "Long" is the surname of Han nationality, "Ni" is his own name, "sanb" is his father's name, and "Jiu" is the surname of Miao nationality.
The history of using Han surnames in the history of Qiandongnan began in the middle of Qing Dynasty, when Miao nationality was opened up, and it was officially designated or chosen by itself for the purpose of counting household registration, so the history of using Han surnames in Miao nationality was not long. Moreover, there is no strict correspondence between the Han surname and the Miao surname. The same Miao surname may have multiple Han surnames, while the same Han surname often has multiple Miao surnames.
Miao's surname is the main name in family identification or in family contacts. For example, two families with the same surname Yang can marry. Although the surname of Han is the same, the surname of Miao is different. Because the surname of Miao nationality is not clear in history books, it is often thought that "marriage does not avoid the same surname". This is completely wrong.
are there Miao surnames such as Zhaifang, Zhaili, Zhaixiang, Zhaigou, Zhailiu and Zhailanao in Taijiang County? [4]? . Other counties are dominated by one word: Hou, Hua, Qing, Jun, Wen, Yun, etc., and each county is different.
Extended information:
The word "Miaojiang" first appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but as a regional concept with a specific scope, it was formed after the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the state dispatched a large number of Han people from the mainland to the southwest ethnic areas in the form of "military camps", "civilian camps" and "commercial camps" for the first time in the form of organized immigration, which profoundly changed the social and historical development process of the southwest ethnic areas.
In this process, "Miao" began to replace "Man" in the past and became one of the general names of non-Han ethnic groups in southern China. The emergence of "Miao" and "Miao border" is closely related to the policy of "nationalization" promoted by China's dynastic state power in Southwest China during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, that is, the process of political, economic and cultural integration from top to bottom.
before launching these problems, it is necessary to review and sort out the interactive history between the southwest frontier and the Central Plains.
