Chapter 747: What is the Yellow Emperor's surname?
"The eight surnames of antiquity. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Wow, I didn't expect our surname to have such a deep knowledge."
"Sure enough, Professor Huang's family name is not simple."
As soon as the eight ancient surnames came out, not only the audience at the scene was shocked, but also the friends in front of the TV were also shocked by the history of the "eight ancient surnames".
"So, let's first talk about the surname Ji among the eight surnames. The surname Ji may be familiar to everyone, the Yellow Emperor is surnamed Ji, and his name is Ji Xuanyuan. So, why did the Yellow Emperor have the surname Ji? Ladies and gentlemen, you may think that this is a difficult question to answer. It's like my surname is Kong, and people ask me why my surname is Kong. Actually, this question is also easy to answer, because my father's surname is Kong, so I also have the surname Kong. ”
This answer made everyone laugh: "In the same way, why the Yellow Emperor's surname is Ji is because his father's surname is Ji." However, after this question, I will ask again, then, why is his father's surname Ji......"
The crowd laughed again.
Actually, the question is not a brain teaser, just like the first teacher in the world to teach a university must not have gone to college. The first person in the world to have a surname, his father must have no surname. Therefore, surnames are created according to certain causes. And this reason is because the Yellow Emperor was born in Jishui, so the Yellow Emperor and the ancestors of the tribe at that time were surnamed Ji. ”
"So, what about the surname Jiang? Who will you think of with the surname Jiang, there is a more famous figure in history surnamed Jiang, his name is Jiang Shang, also known as Jiang Ziya, he was the founding prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty. However, earlier than Jiang Shang, there was another person with the surname Jiang. This person is Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan was born in the area of Jiang Shui, so Emperor Yan was surnamed Jiang like the tribe at that time. ”
"As for the other winning surnames, the surname Yao ...... These surnames have a lot to do with our human ancestors. ”
Kong Shujun was well prepared, and said in one breath that he would come down, and the audience in front of the TV only felt that a new world had opened. They not only learned about the inheritance of the hundred family names from Kong Shujun, but also learned about the cultural activities of human ancestors in ancient times through the hundred family names.
Needless to say, when Kong Shujun talked about the eight surnames of ancient times, the ratings of the Hundred Pulpits rose rapidly.
Of course, the culture of surnames is not finished.
Not only did he not finish speaking, in fact, Kong Shujun only talked about it a little. After a few seconds of pause, after everyone digested it a little, Kong Shujun continued: "I talked about the surname before, and after I finished talking about the surname, then, let's talk about the surname." What is Clan? Many people may know about surnames, because we all have surnames, although we can't fully understand the inheritance and history of surnames, but we finally know what a surname is. However, people may not have heard much about it, or they may not know it at all. ”
The surname is a complete system, so in the surname system, he should have a surname and a surname. And to fully understand the whole surname, then you should know what the surname is and what the surname is.
Kong Shujun talked about the surname before, and many listeners had a general understanding of the surname. At this time, when I talked about it again, I became completely incomprehensible. As Kong Shujun said, they only know the surname, and as for what the surname is, they don't know at all. However, it is precisely because of this kind of ignorance that it attracts them incomparably.
Surnames and surnames, which are closely related to our surnames, I am afraid that anyone is extremely interested in surnames.
Therefore, when it comes to this, the ratings of the Hundred Pulpits have increased by one percent.
Of course, for ratings and the like, Kong Shujun in the lecture doesn't know. However, even if he didn't know, he knew that the audience must be very interested in "Shi". Just like him, even as a dignified professor, when he was studying surnames, he once showed a kind of enthusiasm for the surname system that surpassed any kind of academics.
Kong Shujun didn't know what this was because of.
If you have to find a reason, it is the surname culture that has been around for thousands of years.
Although many people have not studied the surname culture, the surname culture has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if many people don't know where their surname comes from, they have always had an incomparable sense of identity and even pride in their surname.
"What it is, I don't know before that, it doesn't matter. Although we basically no longer use the clan now, we can still see traces of the clan from many ancient books or the profiles of some characters in the pre-Qin period. Still take the Yellow Emperor as an example, when many historical documents introduce the Yellow Emperor, they will say that the Yellow Emperor's surname is Ji and his name is Xuanyuan. The clan in the Xuanyuan clan is the clan we want to talk about. So, what is a surname, a surname is actually a branch of the surname, and it can also be said to be a type of surname. ”
Speaking of this, an audience member who didn't understand stood up and asked, "Professor Kong, I still don't understand." You said that a surname is a kind of surname, but at that time, there was already a surname, so why did you still have a surname? Just like us, it is enough for us to have a surname now, and it doesn't matter if we have a surname or not. ”
In response to this student's question, Kong Shujun nodded and said, "This classmate, your question is very good, and this is exactly what I want to talk about." As this classmate said, since you have a surname, why do you need a surname. Since the surname is also a kind of surname, do you have to open a small surname in the surname? ”
"Of course, for us in modern times, of course we don't have to, we just need to have a surname. However, it was very necessary for the age of antiquity. And this necessity, we still have to start with the matriarchal society. ”
Surname culture is not just a surname culture.
The emergence of surname culture is also deeply related to the social environment at that time.
Knowing the surname not only allows us to trace our ancestors, but also allows us to understand the changes that took place in the social environment of the ancient period.
"The early tribes were maintained through a matrilineal society, and such a time was passed down for many years, and the exact number of years is not known for the time being. However, when the productive forces were more developed, when the traditional hoe agriculture transitioned to plough agriculture, the powerful male was freed from the matriarchal society and became a patriarchal society.
It can be said that the transition from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal society is a further increase in productivity. And when productivity increased, patriarchal societies began to produce slaves, commoners, nobility, and even the royal family. And how to distinguish these nobles is not visible from their appearance alone. So, this is how the clan came into being. Some aristocrats added a clan to their surname to distinguish the aristocracy from the common people. Just like the Yellow Emperor, although his surname is Ji, he is also called Xuanyuan. However, there is a special note here. At that time, not everyone had clans, only nobles had clans. In other words, a person who has a clan, he is no longer a commoner, but a nobleman. As for the commoners, it is still the same as before, only surnames, no surnames. (To be continued.) )
