Chapter 748: Why is Qin Shi Huang called Zhao Zheng?

"It turns out that the surname is like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"I didn't expect there to be so much culture in the surname. ā€

"This class was really beneficial and worth it. ā€

Many listeners nodded their heads, feeling that listening to this class and watching this episode was really worthwhile.

However, the knowledge about surnames is not so simple, the above is just a superficial introduction, after talking about what is a surname, what is a surname, Kong Shujun continued: "Understanding the origin of surnames, then, we have a clearer understanding of the names of some ancients. Let's take another example, Zeng Zi, students, does anyone know what Zeng Zi's surname is?"

"Professor Kong, isn't Zengzi's surname Zeng?"

As a saint Zeng Zi, almost everyone subconsciously said that Zeng Zi must be surnamed Zeng.

Otherwise, how could he be called a son?

In addition, if he does not have the surname Zeng, then the descendants of Zengzi who have been handed down now are all surnamed Zeng.

Therefore, this also shows from the side that Zengzi is indeed surnamed Zeng.

But unfortunately, when he heard the reply from the audience, Kong Shujun shook his head: "No, no, in fact, Zeng Zi is not surnamed Zeng." Zengzi is surnamed Ji. ā€

After speaking, Kong Shujun said with a smile: "I know, after I finish this, someone in the audience will definitely say it." No, how could Zengzi have the surname Ji. If his surname is Ji, why is he not called Jizi, but Zengzi? Actually, this is not surprising, we have just talked about the surname culture, the surname and the surname are separated, the surname is the big surname, and the surname is the small surname. We can use a surname as a surname, and we can also use a surname as a surname. Zengzi was originally surnamed Ji, but, Zengzi's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather "Ji Zengjia", don't laugh, it's true. At that time, "Ji Zengjia" in order to avoid chaos, so he took "Zeng" as his clan, and it has been used until the generation of Zengzi. Until now, if you want to say that Zengzi's surname is Zeng, it is actually okay. But if you really want to care, then Zeng Zi is not surnamed Zeng. ā€

I see.

A small pedigree once again woke everyone up.

If he didn't listen to this lesson, I'm afraid he wouldn't know for the rest of his life that Zengzi didn't have the original surname Zeng, but that his original surname was Ji. It's just that he used his surname as his surname, and it has been passed down in the end.

Kong Shujun continued: "For thousands of years, with the continuous development of surname culture, it has been constantly changing. The original surname also appeared in many, many other surnames within the eight ancient surnames. For example, there are some people whose surname is the place of residence. Like Dongguo, Xiguo, Nanguo, and Beiguo, these surnames are all because the doctors of the Qi State clan live in Dongguo, Xiguo, and other places, so they take Dongguo and Xiguo as their surnames. Similarly, there is also a surname called Ximen, because there was a doctor Zheng who lived in Ximen at that time, so Ximen also became a surname.

There are also some with the country as the surname, such as the Warring States Jin, Qin, Chu, Wei, Song...... Many people used the country's name as their surname at the time. Similarly, in addition to taking the country as the surname, there are also some people with official positions as the surname, such as Situ, Sikong, and Sima, which were all official positions in ancient times. So, why do we have official positions as our surnames? Because these official positions are all noble, some people get such official positions and use such official positions as their surnames, which sets off their status and status.

In addition, there are some who have changed their surnames. That is, he was not originally given this surname, and later changed to such a surname. For example, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave the surname to the ministers, and often these ministers followed the emperor's surname Li, so they had titles such as the national surname Ye. There are also some because it is to avoid secrets, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was called Liu Heng at that time, so all Heng surnames were changed to other surnames. ā€

Halfway through a class, Kong Shujun almost finished talking about the background of his surname.

Subsequently, Kong Shujun said: "The background of the surname is probably like this, after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, the surname and the surname became one, the surname is the surname, the surname is the surname, or there is only the surname, there is no name." Now, let's talk about the first surname in the hundred surnames, Zhao ......"

Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang. The first place in the hundred surnames is Zhao.

Many people may not understand the ranking of this hundred surnames, why is the "surname Zhao" ranked first? According to the number of surnames in the country, Zhao will definitely not be ranked first, or even the top five. However, to understand why Zhao is ranked first, we also have to understand the origin of the surname Zhao. ā€

finally began to talk about the surnames of hundreds of families, and many viewers exuded a strange brilliance in their eyes.

A series of information on surnames was introduced earlier, so the most interesting thing is the family name. After all, the background of the previous surname was some knowledge, and although they were also interested, it had nothing to do with the listeners themselves. But the surnames in the hundred family names are really talking about them. Whoever it is, they all have a surname. They would also like to hear about the origin of their surnames and about their ancestors.

The origin of the surname Zhao comes from the father of the Zhou Dynasty, this father is a natural master of horse training, legend has it that he trained 8 horses, and after the training was handed over to the son of heaven of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Mu was very happy, often took the father's 8 horses to travel far away, once King Zhou Mu went west to Kunlun Mountain, and saw the legendary goddess Queen Mother of the West, King Mu of Zhou was very fond of the Queen Mother of the West, and almost did not want to come back. And at this time, he heard that there was a rebellion in his country, and King Zhou Mu was very anxious, at this critical moment. The father drove thousands of miles a day, brought King Mu of Zhou back to the capital, and quickly eradicated the rebellion. After making great contributions to the father, King Mu of Zhou gave him "Zhao Cheng". Since then, the father has taken Zhao as his surname......"

However, the surname Zhao is not that simple.

After Kong Shujun finished talking about the origin of the surname Zhao, he continued: "If it is just the process of creating a father to get this surname, it is estimated that Zhao will be put first, I am afraid that many people will still be unconvinced." But don't worry. The father was sealed in Zhao City, and after a few hundred years, it became a country, and this country was the Zhao State, that is to say, the father was actually the ancestor of the Zhao people.

Of course, that's not all. The father's nephew was once enshrined in the land of Qin for merit, and later established the state of Qin. Zhao Guo may not be well known to everyone, but Qin Guoyi said that everyone knows. Why, because there was a Qin Shi Huang in the Qin State, and he ruled the world. So, what is Qin Shi Huang's name? Many people may also know that his name is Ying Zheng. However, in addition to his name Ying Zheng, he is also called Zhao Zheng. In other words, Qin Shi Huang is actually the descendant of the founding father, and he is also surnamed Zhao. Because Qin Shi Huang unified the world is really immeasurable, and Zhao is ranked first, which is reasonable. ā€

Zhao ranked first among the hundred family surnames at that time because the hundred family names were written in the Song Dynasty, and the monarch of the Song Dynasty was surnamed Zhao, so Zhao was ranked first. And now that the surnames of hundreds of families are written in contemporary times, Huang Yifan did not say why Zhao ranked first, which has become an unsolvable problem. However, even if Huang Yifan didn't say it. At this time, Kong Shujun also gave Huang Yifan a very reasonable explanation, and this explanation, even if anyone hears it, will not be unconvinced.
