According to your introduction, your family is probably the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. I just found some information about the Manchu Gao family and posted it for you. Hope it can be helpful to you
A preliminary study of the Manchu Gao family
Gao Daming
The Manchu ancestors lived in Xingkai during the Neolithic period 6,800 years ago The Hu generation lived by fishing and hunting and entered a patriarchal society; they have been inseparable from the Han people since the Western Zhou Dynasty. Thousands of years of ethnic integration history have created a splendid culture and contributed to the unification and development of the Chinese nation. made a huge contribution.
The ancestors of the Manchu people originally lived in the northern part of Northeast China and the Far East of Russia. Due to a cold period in history, the ancestors gradually moved south and had more contacts with the Central Plains. It was during the Tang and Song Dynasties that he became truly active on China's political stage. The Jin Dynasty was the era when the Jurchens, the predecessors of the Manchus, rose to prominence. It was an era in which heroes emerged in large numbers. Due to advocating and learning Han culture, the Jurchens gradually entered the modern society at that time and became an important member of the Chinese nation. After hundreds of years in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Jurchens integrated with other northern ethnic minorities and formed a huge political force. Under the wise leadership of Nurhaci, in Manchuria that was not unified in the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu people were formed. A harmonious family of ethnic groups.
According to Zhao Weihe's "Exploration of the Origin of the Eight Major Surnames of the Manchu Famous Families in Liaodong" in "Xinbin Qing Prehistoric Research Series", the Liaodong area where the Manchus live often uses Tong, Guan, Ma, Suo and He ( There are also eight Manchu surnames that are believed to be Ye's), Fu, Na, and Lang and are regarded as Chen Manzhou's famous surnames. This title reflects the population situation after the Manchus switched to Han surnames after the mid-Qing Dynasty. These eight surnames are also the eight Manchu clans formed by the descendants of the Jurchens in the Jin Dynasty, and are regionally representative. They can directly get involved in the fishing, hunting, gathering and migration life of the Manchu ancestors, reveal the social development of each historical period, and reflect the long historical process of national cultural integration.
So how did the Manchu Gao family evolve? On the surface, these eight surnames do not include the Gao surname, but from the evolution of the Manchu surnames, it can be seen that the Hesheli surname originated from the Jurchen He Shilie surname. This surname lived at the confluence of Songhua River and Heilongjiang in history. Dai returned to Huli and changed his path. Because his ancestors had outstanding military exploits and became royal relatives of the Jin Dynasty, the clan was huge. Long before the Heshel clan adopted the surname Heshel, there were Hes from other clans. Shi Lie's crown was separated with a new surname, and the branch of He Shi Lie's crown was translated into Chinese and Gao's surname was separated in this way. According to "The Origin of Manchu Surnames", after the Jurchen "He Shilie" of the Jin Dynasty settled in the Central Plains, they changed their surnames to Gao and Lu in the Yuan Dynasty. From the late Yuan to the early Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Heshilie family whose surnames were not changed to the Han surnames Gao and Lu were changed to Hesheli (or Hesheli, Hesheli); in the late Qing Dynasty, the Hesheli family changed their Han surnames to He, He, Zhang, Kang, and some data believe that some people changed their surnames to Gao. Therefore, dating back to the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Manchus Gao and Lu were of the same origin as He, He, Zhang and Kang.
The Gao family is the earliest Chinese surname used by the Manchu people and is the oldest surname in Bohai. The Bohai people fully accepted the Han culture and were fully Hanized during the 229th year of the reign of the Kingdom. Including the official system and clothing, they were the first Manchu ancestors to use Chinese surnames. According to Song Honghao's "Songmo Jiwen", the king's surname was Da, and the right surnames were: Gao, Zhang, Yang, Dou, Wu, and Li. The slaves in Buqu have no surnames. Jin Yufu, a recent scholar, recorded in "Bohai Guozhi Longbian" that the Bohai people's surnames include Da, Gao, Zhang, Yang, Dou, Wu, Li, Ren, Ma, Cong, He, De, Gong, Mu, Feng, An, Wang, Yi, Shi, Lu, Xin, Men, Cui, Pei, Wu, Zhu, Jie, Zhao, etc.
The "Compilation of the Northern League of the Three Dynasties" written by the Song Dynasty records: The Jurchen surname "Nalan" means "Gao". Tao Zongyi of the Yuan Dynasty recorded in "Records of Nancun Stopping Farming" that the Jin people's surname was Gao when they begged for stones. According to the ancient Korean book "Records of the Li Dynasty", the Jurchen Ada in the north of Tieling has thousands of households in Gao Di, and their surname is Gao. The detailed description is: the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the disputes of the Five Dynasties. The Khitans, who originated from Xianbei, rose rapidly, unified the eight Khitan tribes, eliminated the Bohai Kingdom, and established the Daliao Empire. The people of Bohai became slaves of the subjugated country. Their surnames and customs remained unchanged. The surnames of Heishui Mohe and others began to appear in historical records.
"Compilation of the Northern Alliance of Three Dynasties? Jurchen History" states that the Jurchens in the late Tang Dynasty had "thirty common surnames": their surnames are "Wanyan" which is called "king", "Chizhan" which is called "Zhang", and "Nalan" which is called "Gao" , Paimoshen, Dujin, Odun, Heshilie, Tudan, Poyuman, Niangchu, Mengchu, Tuoman, Wendikai, Chusuo, Aowuju, Nimangu, Chaojiao, A Fanbomulu, Wuzhenbomulu, Bomulu, Yuyulong, Huangwu, Duding, Adie, Wuling, Pucha, Wuyan, Tudan, Pusan, Wendun and Panggu. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the tribe was prosperous, with thirty leaders, each with a surname, and a total of thirty surnames. In this regard, "History of Goryeo" also said that the Jurchens had thirty surnames. Among these 30 surnames, there were the Gao family whose surname was changed from "Nalan", and the "Heshi Lie family" who had not yet changed their surname to Gao.
The old surnames of the Manchu Gao family include: Guarjia, Gaojia, Tongjia, Sakda, Hesheli, Guoluoluo, Gorji, Shumuli The Guoerjia (Xibo), Gao (Han), etc. However, the problem is not that simple. "The Origin of Manchu Surnames" introduces that the Qing Dynasty surname Hesheli (also known as Hesheli and Hesheli), which gave birth to celebrities such as Sony, was changed to the Han surnames Gao and Kang in the early years of Guangxu. , He, He Zhang, etc. (there is also information that Hesheli was only changed to three surnames: He, Kang, and Zhang); and according to "The Distribution of Surnames and Main Clans of the Manchus in Shenyang", the Manchus Gorles and Tolulu All the clans were changed to the Han surname Gao, and "Auspicious Manchu" and "Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy" also introduced that there are Gaojia clan, Gaodama clan and Gao clan among the Manchus. The Gaojia clan mentioned here may be the integration of the Han people into the Manchus. The surname Gao, because a certain good surname among the Manchu people generally indicates that the original ancestor is Han. The Gao family may refer to the He Shilie family of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties that were later translated into Chinese surnames. The author estimates that these three surnames are all among the current Manchu Gao families; and according to the "Manchu Hometown Network" "The Manchus in Dandong Region" Ren Yuanliu" introduced, "There were Xibo soldiers in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and most of their descendants were integrated into the Manchu ethnic group. The Xibo people originally lived in Jilin Boduna (Fuyu, Jilin). In 1690 (the 29th year of Kangxi), there were 300 Xibo soldiers. Soldiers and their families came to Fenghuang City to guard the border. Their surnames include Bai, Wen, He, Yang, Shen, Mo, Wu, Na, Gao, etc." Among them, the surname Gao is Guoerjia of the Xibe ethnic group, which means that the Gao family also has descendants from the Xibe ethnic group. In addition, some surnames in the Eight Banners of Mongolia may have evolved into high surnames of the Manchus after hundreds of years of cohabitation and intermarriage among the Manchus. This means that in addition to the He Shilie family whose Chinese surname is translated as Gao, there are also the Gorles family, the Golululu family (or the Guoluoluo family), the Gaojia family, the Gaodama family, and some Xibo compatriots and Mongolians. Changing the surname to Han is better. These families are the current Manchu surnames.
Kunlun Yuxu die-hard member 8 The earliest Chinese surname used by the Manchu people, the surname of Bohai country. The "Compilation of the Northern Alliance of Three Dynasties" written by the Song Dynasty records: The Jurchen surname "Nalan" means "Gao". Tao Zongyi of the Yuan Dynasty recorded in "Records of Nancun Stopping Farming" that the Jin people's surname was Gao when they begged for stones. According to the ancient Korean book "Records of the Li Dynasty", the Jurchen Ada in the north of Tieling has thousands of households in Gao Di, and their surname is Gao.
Old surnames include: Gualjia, Gaojia, Tongjia, Sakda, Hesheli, Guoluoluo, Gorgi, Shumuli, and Bayue The Tu family, the Guoerluosi family, the Nala family, as well as the Guoerjia family (Xibo family) and Gao family (Han family) who joined the Manchu people.
The people of the Heshilie tribe in the Jin Dynasty had the surname Heshilie, which was based on the tribe. Although their original place of residence was the confluence of Songhua River and Heilongjiang (the annals of Hulan County, Heilongjiang Province also say that there was a tribe of He Shilie in the Hulan River Basin, which was called Jurchen in the Liao Dynasty), some Jurchens in the Jin Dynasty lived The area is as far north as the Yangtze River in China. This group of people have many opportunities to come into contact with Chinese culture. It is quite normal for them to learn Chinese culture and admire Chinese culture and change their surnames to Han surnames. In particular, the He Shilie family has produced several pillars of the Jin Kingdom. Naturally, the family is prosperous and has a high level of education.
According to the records of He Shi Lie Zhining, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty in the "Manchu Website": He Shi Lie Zhining (? - 1172), whose real name was Sahe Nian. He is famous for "Shen Yi has a great strategy" (see "History of the Jin Dynasty? Biography of He Shilie Zhining") and was a famous general during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Jin Dynasty. "He Shilie Zhining is a Huta'an native of Shangjing (now Acheng, Heilongjiang Province). He Shilie is a famous Jurchen tribe. Since Han Chi, the ancestor of the fifth generation, he has been married to the Wanyan family of the royal family. Zhining's father Saba, During the reign of King Hailing, he served as Dongping Yin, Kaiyuan Army Jiedushi and other officials. Zhining's father-in-law, Wanyan Zongbi (namely Jin Wushu), was an outstanding military strategist and politician of the Jurchen tribe in the Jin Dynasty. He was most favored by Zong Bi. During the reign of Emperor Xizong, Zhining served as a guard and other officials.
During the reign of King Hailing, Zhining was highly trusted, and his official position was gradually promoted and he began to show his prominence. He served as the envoy of Xuanhui on the right, the envoy of Fenyang Army, and the minister of the Ministry of War. He was changed to the envoy of Xuanhui on the left, the governor of the capital, and the deputy envoy to the privy council, and the Yin of Kaifeng. In the sixth year of Zhenglong (1161), King Hailing failed in his southern expedition. Wanyanyong launched a coup in Tokyo (today's Liaoyang, Liaoning) and ascended the throne as Emperor Shizong of Jin. At that time, Zhining was serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the north, and together with the commander-in-chief Bai Yanjing, he led troops to suppress the Khitan peasant and herdsmen rebel army. They traveled to Beijing (now Daming City in the northwest of Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia). When they heard that Shizong had different aspirations, they plotted to attack Shizong. After Sejong ascended the throne, he sent envoys to recruit them. Bai Yanjing and Zhining killed nine of their envoys. Shizong sent Wanyan Mouyan to attack. Zhining originally wanted to lead his army to resist, but "the crowd refused to fight" and had no choice but to surrender. In order to stabilize the political situation, Emperor Shizong adopted a policy of tolerance towards important officials of the previous dynasty. Instead of punishing Zhining and others who had supported the army against him, he instead entrusted them with important responsibilities. This moved Zhining deeply and determined to live up to Shizong's trust in him. He made outstanding achievements in the southern and northern wars and became a famous general during the reign of King Sejong. His important military activities were, first, to suppress the rebellion of Khitan farmers and herdsmen, and second, to suppress the Song soldiers marching north, which contributed to the conclusion of the "Longxing Peace Agreement."
According to the "History of the Jin Dynasty? Biography" records: "He Shi Lie Hengduan, Hu Lun and Song Dynasty cut fiercely and defeated the people on the southwest road, and attacked his brother Yin Shu to defeat the Song Dynasty. Taihe defeated the Song Dynasty, marched thousands of households, and defeated the Song army. Two thousand troops arrived at Caizhou, and General Jia Yiwu crossed the Huaihe River from Shouzhou. He defeated 15,000 Song Buqi troops at Yaoziling and defeated Anfeng's army."
It is estimated that this was due to the fall of the Jin regime. , caused the Heshilie tribe to migrate to the present Burha River, Tangwang River, and Longwu River basins in Yanbian at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and separated from the Hesheli family. The Hesheli family "has lived in Ying'e for generations. At the beginning of the country, Shuo Se came back and was affiliated with Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria. He was fluent in Manchu, Han and Mongolian. His son Sony was also fluent in Manchu, Han and Mongolian. He was a first-class bodyguard and experienced military exploits. He was ordered by Emperor Shizu Zhang to serve as an auxiliary minister. , was awarded the title of First-class Duke, and his ancestral tomb is in Zuoye, Zhaoling." It was precisely because of the fame and status of the Hesheli people that the family grew and developed into a famous Manchu surname in the Qing Dynasty. So that it was later divided into three Han surnames: He, Zhang and Kang."
Unfortunately, I have not found any written historical materials about the Gao family that was separated from the Heshi Lie family as early as the Yuan Dynasty.
The "List of Manchu Surnames in Hohhot City" introduces that Gao's ancestral home is in Changbai Mountain, Foala, Baidune, Wanyan and other places. His original surnames are Hesheli, Qishilie and Gaojia. The author believes that the Gao surname whose ancestral home is in Changbai Mountain includes the descendants of the He Shilie family, but it cannot be ruled out that among them are the descendants of the Guo Luojia and Gorles families, because these families all lived near Changbai Mountain; and the ancestral home is The people of Baidune (also known as Bodune, Fuyu, Jilin) ??are naturally from the Xibo ethnic group.
According to the article "Subtle Changes in Surnames" in "Auspicious Manchu", the surname Gao comes from the Manchu Hesheli. There are three Manchu surnames: Guo Luoluo, Gao Jia, and Guo Luo Luo. Among them, Guo Luo Luo and Tuolulu should be the same Manchu surname, but the translated Chinese characters are different.
According to "The Origin of Manchu Surnames", the origin of the surname Gao. Yu Gaojia, Hesheli, and Gorles have three surnames, and the surname He is derived from Hesheli. The Hesheli and Hesheli here should be the same Manchu surname, but the pronunciation is different.
"Shenyang Manchu" introduces that the Manchu surname in Shenyang is a Manchu who immigrated to Shenyang from all over the country in modern times. For example, according to the genealogy of Qing Bao, a Manchu engineer at the Shenyang High Pressure Valve Factory, his ancestors lived in Zhang Yudaogou in the west of Changbai Mountain (Author's note: Zhang The word "yu" may be wrong). He was named Baigorles when he left the inland area of ??the banner. His surname was Gao. His sixth generation ancestor followed the army to Fengtian and settled in the Zhenglan Banner area in the east of Fengtian City. Nei Shang Bo Guan Tuen occupied an area and erected a monument. In the second year of Shunzhi, the ancestor came to Beijing under the leadership of Zhenghuang Manchu Ehengzuo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Beijing. He lived outside the south gate of Beijing. His official title was Zhongxian Dafu... His descendants transferred him to Yi. Zhou Zhenglan Banner Manchuria, descendants of Yizhou Fangshenggou Gaoshihuren Tazi Changshanzi... In the 23rd year of Guangxu, Tekeshen served as the leader of the army in charge of Fengsheng Azuo of Yizhou Zhenglan Banner. In the 25th year, The vice-capital of Meng Jinzhou awarded him the fifth rank Ding Dai, and he has served as the leader for twenty-six years." Later generations came to Shen in modern times. Say a paragraph to show that their ancestors were the Gorles clan of the Manchu people.
The 20-character naming pattern is as follows:
ReplyCollapse Reply 2nd Floor 2007-10-19 08:24 Report | Let me say something too
8 Chen De Wenqing, a die-hard member of Kunlun Yuxu Guang, Qingfu accounts for the rise of the clouds, the prosperity and wealth are prosperous, and the auspiciousness is everlasting.
As can be seen from the above, this is the Gao family whose surname was changed to Han Dynasty from the Gorlus family (possibly the same surname as the Gorlus family), and it is the same as the Gao family. The He Shilie family is not the same family.
Guo Luojia's surname (same as Guo Luojia's) is homophonic to "Gao" and currently lives in Sijia Village, Hongqi Town, Fengcheng City. Therefore, this Gao surname has nothing to do with the descendants of He Shilie. And the author doesn’t understand why there is a “Jia” family among the Manchu surnames.
The Gao Jia surname is found in "General Chronicles of the Dynasty? Clan Profile? Surnames of the Eight Banners of Manchuria". He lived in Gaizhou (Gaixian County, Liaoning Province), Liaoyang, Wula, Jilin and other places for generations, and later changed his surname to Gao. Famous figures include: Emperor Qianlong’s Imperial Concubine Huixian, and her fathers, Gao Bin and Gao Jin, both of the Wenhua Palace scholars.
The status of Gundam Mars is unknown.
Other information introduces that the surnames of the Gao family are originally Han (Nikan, Tainikan, Fushun Nikan). Nikan means Han in Manchu and is found in the "Eight Banners Genealogy of Manchu Surnames". He lived in Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places for generations. Famous figures include: Budali, cabinet bachelor and minister of the Ministry of Rites, Huaiyang Road Gao Chengmei.
Our Gao family belongs to Zhenghuang Banner. In the late Qing Dynasty (before the establishment of Qinggang County, that is, before 1904), we went to Zhagang Township, Qinggang County, Heilongjiang Province together with Manchus with surnames such as Guan, Han, Bai, and Wu. Settled in Hanyonghe Village. According to the elders, he is from Fengcheng, Liaoning, and some people say he is from Jiangnan (Jilin?). First to Lanxi, Heilongjiang, and then to Qinggang. There was no Qinggang County at that time. Han Yonghe Village was named because Han Yonghe of the Han family decided to return to his hometown and engage in the New Culture Movement after graduating from Peking University in his early years. After his death, the National Government named this Manchu settlement in memory of him. After liberation, it was changed to Yongzheng Village. According to the old man's recollection, the origin of this Manchu tree is that the Manchu people are the descendants of Jin Wushu. The reason is that during festivals (possibly the Spring Festival), they burn baofu (probably these two words) behind the chimney.
The two brothers from the Gao family came here. I don’t know if they are real brothers. They each brought their music sheets. The elder brother is my grandfather’s father. It has been 5 generations in my generation. My two brothers have given birth to at least 7 sons (I have Liu Tainan and Qi Tainan). In my grandfather’s generation, there are at least 7 brothers. My father’s generation has countless. In my generation There are more people from the next generation. The tribe’s residence is divided into the Donggao family and the Xigao family. The descendants of my ancestors live in the Xigao family. Because the family tree (written in Manchu on yellow silk cloth) has been lost. So I wonder where the original family member is and who else is there?
My great-grandfather’s name is Gao Wensheng. According to my grandfather, in the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republic of China, they asked an old Mongolian gentleman to read the family tree and told me that the names of my grandparents should be Fan Yong. The Donggao family also invited a Mongolian gentleman and said that their ancestors should be named Fan De. This may be This is due to their different levels of Manchu writing, so the characters of this generation are different, but my father’s generation has the same character of Fanchun. According to the comparison of Fan characters, our surname Gao will not be changed from the Gorles family to the Gao family. Moreover, according to Heshi netizens in Shuangcheng, Heilongjiang Province, they are two branches of the Hesheli family from Fengcheng who moved to Shuangcheng. , are now in the Twin Cities, and our two ancestors are naturally not from the Hesheli clan. Therefore, our possible surnames are:
The two branches of the Gao family that were translated into the Yuan Dynasty by He Shilie;
The two branches of the Gao Jia family;
Guo Luojia's transliterated Chinese surname Gao;
The Gao family was simplified into the Chinese surname Gao;
The Xibo people changed it to the Manchu surname Gao;
The Mongolian people changed the Manchu clan to the Gao family;
The Han army banner people changed the Gao family name.
Since my ancestors moved to Heilongjiang Province at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and moved there together with so many Manchu compatriots, they must have lived together or nearby when they originally moved there, and communication at that time was Underdeveloped, it is impossible to go to Heilongjiang Province together through simple contact. Therefore, we should also go to the residential areas where Manchus with these surnames currently live to find their roots.
In addition, my elders said that when a boy was born in our family during the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government would give him 2 taels of silver per month.
And until my mother’s generation, she still called her mother Nana and her father Mama in Manchu. When my mother first married into our family, she heard the second aunt’s child calling Nana. She said, “Second aunt, your child is hungry!” , made a joke; during the Cultural Revolution, I personally heard these two terms of address used by Qitai Nai and grandma when they were chatting. For a while, I always wondered: How can I call my father "scold"? I thought it was quite funny at the time!
I have written so much because I hope that the Gao family members and those who are familiar with the matter can introduce more about the family tree of the Manchu Gao family and carry forward the cause of tracing the Gao family’s roots to the end!
At the same time, it is also recommended that all our Manchu compatriots participate in root-searching and make our family tree public, so that compatriots who do not have a family tree but have some clues can quickly identify their ancestors. This must be of great significance to the development of the Manchu people.
Auspicious Year of the Rooster!
