It can be said that most of the descendants of Yan and Huang in China are descendants of Fuxi. Here are a few examples.
1: Su surname
1. It comes from the surname Feng and is a descendant of the ancient Fuxi family. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, he granted the descendants of the previous sage kings. Among them, the descendants of the ancient Fuxi family were granted the title of Su (east of today's Dongping County, Shandong Province) and established the Su Kingdom. The descendants of his clan took the name of the country and called him the Su surname.
2. During the Later Wei Dynasty, there was a man named Liu Ziyi. Because of his contribution to the Later Wei Dynasty, he was given the title of Su.
3. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Su Liujin family changed their surname to Su.
Two: Dongfang surname
Comes from the ancient Fuxi family. Among the grandsons of the Fuxi family, there was a man named Xizhong, who came from the Zhen position (the Zhen position is the east in the Bagua) and has been in charge of the Qingyang Order of the East for generations. His descendants took the surname Dongfang and were called Dongfang. Another saying comes from the surname Zhang, who is a descendant of Dongfang Shuo, a writer in the Han Dynasty. The surname Dongfang is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan
It is said that Fuxi's surname is Feng
However, the "eight major surnames in ancient times" are: Jiang, Ji, Yao, and Ying , Si, Gui, Xue, Gui, there is no "Feng" surname
"Shuowen" describes that the Yellow Emperor lived in Jishui, so the surname was "Ji".
Of course, it is difficult to say whether the surname of Huangdi is Ji or not, but it should be correct that Huangdi is Xuanyuan and Fuxi is Fuxi
The surname is next to the female character. Among the eight major surnames in ancient times, most of them are It also contains the character for female
Therefore, it is said that the birth of the "surname" is closely related to the matrilineal clan society
The birth of the surname is said to be related to the paternal line
Early figures such as Fuxi may not have surnames at all
Fuxi is said to have lived before 7600 BC
Our archeology mainly relies on the discovery of ancient books, history books and the like to speculate Situation
But in the Shang Dynasty, all ancient oracle bones were used
Assuming that Fuxi had a surname, there was no writing or even writing materials at that time. How would future generations know about it? What about Feng?
Some ancient books are ancient materials to us, but compared to Fuxi and other figures, they are thousands of years later.
Therefore, these ancient books sometimes mention certain things. The surname of a certain ancestor actually doesn't mean much:
How could the author of Fuxi's period, who had no writing and no recorded ancient books, know about the clan that was thousands of years earlier than him?
In addition, the three emperors ruled the world and the five emperors established their relationships
During the Fuxi period, there were not many members in each human clan, and the human relationships were uncertain and the unions were chaotic. Therefore, there were probably many close relatives in the clan
< p>Since they are all close relatives, what is the point of formulating a surname that distinguishes bloodlines?This also further proves that there is some truth to the statement that surnames originated from the Yellow Emperor and other periods
So I personally think that Fuxi may not have a surname at all and his close descendants should not have surnames either
>It was not until thousands of years later that descendants had surnames
At this time, the surnames of descendants were not a certain surname but "a hundred family surnames". This descendant was not a small group of people, but Chinese
PS: Questions about the eight ancient surnames
①The origin of the surnames and the fact that the eight ancient surnames contain female characters point to matrilineal clan society
But "Jiang, "Ji, Yao, Ying, Si, Yi, Xun, Gui" are said to have appeared from the period of Huangdi to Dayu
This makes it strange why the surnames that should be born in the matrilineal clan did not wait until the patrilineal clan Huangdi Wait until the character appears?
② It is said that the Yellow Emperor changed his surname to Ji because he was the son of Shaodian. His real surname was Gongsun. He lived in Jishui (now Qishui River, Wugong, Shaanxi Province). He changed his surname to Ji and lived in the hills of Xuanyuan (now northwest of Xinzheng). "Xuanyuan"
The strange thing is that the Yellow Emperor first changed his surname because of his place of residence and then changed his surname to another place of residence
It was not that troublesome for early humans to name names. The father of the worker was also named A *** worker, he couldn’t even afford to inherit his father’s name directly
So why did Huang Di change his name one after another?
From "Three Emperors Ruled the World and Five Emperors Determined Ethics"
It can be seen that during the Five Emperors period, people only initially formulated human ethics (otherwise, for example, brothers and sisters Fuxi and Nuwa could get married)
The most basic function of the surname is to mark the inheritance of bloodline
If there are no basic principles of human relations and marriage, then the inheritance of bloodline will be chaotic
So the birth of the surname is the Five Emperors Those born during this period are more likely to be born during the patrilineal clan period
Therefore, it is doubtful whether the eight surnames with female characters next to them in the "Eight Ancient Surnames" are really the earliest eight surnames< /p>
