The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and the Eight Surnames of Antiquity
The Legend of the Heroes of King Wuling of Zhao tells the story of the Warring States period from 326 BC to 296 BC, during which the wolf smoke was everywhere and the princes fought for hegemony. In this era, big countries are trying to be strong, and small countries are trying to survive, and it is an era of heroes.
And today? It's May Fourth Youth Day. In accordance with the provisions of the "Measures for National Festivals and Memorial Day Holidays" promulgated by the State Council, on May 4, young people over the age of 14 will have a half-day holiday. The holiday is applicable to young people between the ages of 14 and 28, but is not responsible for implementation and supervision. Therefore, although there is a holiday on Youth Day, it is in the hands of the employer whether to take a holiday or not.
When I looked at this message, I was very excited at first, and then my heart shattered. Youth Day is always far away from me. Well, don't talk about the sad topic, fate is in the hands of others, who can blame it?
Today is May Fourth Youth Day, so I won't update it for the time being. Let's briefly talk about the things between the Seven Heroes of the Warring States and the Eight Ancient Surnames.
The surname originated from the matrilineal society, because the children at that time "knew their mothers, but did not know their fathers", so the same surname represents the clan symbol of the blood relationship of the same matrilineal, the eight surnames in ancient times, all from the "female" side, indicating that this is a group of clans passed down by some different female ancestors. Therefore, Ji, Jiang, Ji, Ying, Fei, Fei, Yao, and Yao are the eight surnames of ancient times.
The ancient tribes such as the Xuanyuan clan and the Qingqiu clan all had the surname Ji; The surname Jiang originated from the Yandi Shennong clan; The surname Hi originated from Dayu; The surname Ying originated from Gaotao, Gaotao was born in Qufu, so he took Ying as his surname; Yao and concubine are of the same origin, both originating from Shun; The surname of Concubine originated from Zhurong's family.
King Wu of Zhou cut down the royal family and the meritorious ministers, and divided the princes. In the Spring and Autumn period, there were five tyrants... Duke Qi Heng, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu, King Lu of Wu, King Goujian of Yue. Therefore, there were four good warring states at that time, Eastern Qi, Southern Chu, Northern Jin, and Southeast Wuyue, and the four divisions of the world.
In the Warring States Period, the Five Tyrants evolved into the Seven Heroes. The seven heroes refer to Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Yan. Among the seven heroes, Qin and Zhao belong to the surname Ying; Yan, Wei, and Han belong to the surname Ji, and of course Zhou Guo, Wei, Lu, etc. are also surnamed Ji; During the state of Qi, it was surnamed Jiang, and during the Warring States period, Jiang Qi was replaced by Tian, who belonged to the concubine surname; Chu belongs to the surname Mi and is one of the eight surnames of Zhurong. Of course? The Song Kingdom is a descendant of Yin Shang and belongs to the sub-surname; The Yue country, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, belongs to the surname Ji.
Qin married with Chu and Yan, Qi married with Zhao, Wei and Chu, and Zhao married with Korea, Wei and Qi. Between the princes, except for the same ancestors and ancestors, they do not have friendship with each other, and the princes have to rely on marriage to maintain the relationship between the two countries. Don't you think it's funny, the princes are calling each other with these surnames. It turns out that the princes between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States are all one family!
There are seven heroes in the Warring States, so who can be among the eighth heroes in the Warring States? It is the Zhongshan Kingdom with a territory of less than 800 miles, or the Song Kingdom that has been inherited for thousands of years, or the Yue Kingdom that dominates the south of the Yangtze River. Personally, I think that in terms of strength, Yue Guo is the eighth hero of the Warring States and deserves it.
What about you? Who do you think is the eighth hero of the Warring States.
