Chapter 193: Unmarried with the Same Surname (continued)
"Zhao Lan?"
"This should be the name of this right lady, right?"
Zhuang Yunpeng, who came over, was also a little strange when he heard Chen Han's muttering.
He looked up at Professor Li and shouted, "Professor Li, I have found Mrs. Right's private seal!" ”
"This right lady's name is Zhao Lan!"
"Didn't you say that you don't marry with the same surname? This Zhao Hu marrying Zhao Lan was not allowed in that era, right? ”
Professor Li, who was immersed in cleaning a copper tripod, straightened his waist, walked over, took this unique ivory mark from Chen Han's hand, and after looking at it for a while, he smiled:
"This Zhao is not the other Zhao."
The "Zhao" of Zhao Tuo's family is actually not a surname, but a surname. ”
"Zhao Tuo is a native of Changshan County of the Qin Dynasty, and Changshan County belonged to Zhao State during the Warring States Period, that is, Zhao Land."
"His name really means Tuo from Zhao Di, or Zhao Tuo, not the surname Zhao."
"In the history books, his surname is not recorded, and he may most likely be just a small noble descendant of Zhao Di, and after Qin unified the six kingdoms, he took Zhao as his surname."
When the surname and the surname are not yet united, there is no surname Zhao.
Now all the people with the surname Zhao, their surnames are derived from the Zhao State during the Warring States Period.
Maybe it's another branch of Zhao Guo's office, or maybe it's because the ancestors lived in Zhao and later took Zhao as their surname.
So Zhao Tuo himself is very clear that he himself has no surname, and Zhao is just a clan.
It's just that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was no distinction between surnames, and there was no score if I wanted to.
From Liu Bang, the founding emperor, to the Peixian military merit group that followed him, all the people who smoked were Shengdou small people, and they didn't have a "noble" surname at all.
At most, there are only clans, for example, Zhang Liang is a nobleman with a clan.
Zhang Liang's ancestors served as the minister of the Han king in South Korea for five generations, so his family's "Zhang family" is the fiefdom of Zheng'er Bajing.
Except for Zhang Liang, most of the people in the military merit group of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty have no clan, let alone a surname.
The surnames of Cao Shen, Zhang Ao, Zhou Bo, Fan Hui, Lishang, Xi Juan and others actually represent where their ancestors came from.
Cao Shenzu is from Cao Di, Zhou Bozu is from the Zhou royal territory, and Fan Hui is from Fan Di......
Only Xiahou Ying, his "Xiahou" is a branch of the Xiahou clan, which can be traced back to the source.
In this way, the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty had no meaning to divide their surnames.
Originally, everyone's ancestors were not nobles, and they didn't have a "noble surname", so now they naturally don't distinguish between surnames.
The same is true of Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo's surname means that he is from the land of Zhao, and perhaps his ancestors are still a branch of the Zhao royal family.
Professor Li said affirmatively: "Zhao Hu's right lady may be from the immigrants of the Six Kingdoms and the descendants of the immigrants of the Zhao Kingdom, so she takes Zhao as her surname." ”
"Her Zhao, and the Zhao of Zhao Tuo's family, are not the same Zhao, and the two families can't actually talk about the same ancestor."
"This is like the end of the Warring States Period, Qin Zhuangxiang Prince Chu, and the harem also accepted a Zhao Ji."
"Qin and Zhao can't marry each other, because the two families are from the same ancestor, and they are both part of the Zhao family."
But this does not prevent Zi Chu from being a Zhao Ji, because the "Zhao" of this Zhao Ji only comes from the meaning of Zhao Di, and does not mean that it comes from the Zhao royal family. ”
Zhuang Yunpeng nodded with enlightenment.
He followed Kong Jianwen to focus on the archaeology of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
In the history of the Zhou Dynasty, not marrying with the same surname was a custom that lasted for two weeks and eight hundred years, and it was deeply rooted.
In addition, the tombs of the Zhou Dynasty that can be found now are all noble tombs, and only the nobles buried deep in the ground can be preserved for thousands of years.
And in these noble tombs, as long as there is something to prove the identity left, it can be found that there will be no husband and wife with the same surname.
This also made him enter the circle of thinking, merging the surnames of Qin and Han, causing some confusion between the common people and the nobles.
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
The same goes for Chen Han.
He also thought of Zong Zhou's unmarried surname for the first time, forgetting that the definition of "surname" in the Qin and Han dynasties had changed very much.
"However, during the Han and Han dynasties, the same surname and non-marriage system were also observed."
"It's just that the same surname did not marry in the Han Dynasty, and it was more like the clan did not intermarry during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"For example, the Liu family of the royal family will not intermarry with someone who is also from the royal family and has the surname Liu, even if it is a very distant relative."
"On the contrary, if you don't have the surname Liu, it's like Empress Lu stuffed the women of the Lu family to a bunch of princes and kings, and even arranged a niece queen for Liu Ying, that is, Zhang Yan, the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan and Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, it's okay."
The unmarried with the same surname in the Western Han Dynasty is actually the situation where the same surname is not married in later dynasties.
People with the same surname on the paternal side, such as uncle's daughters and sons, uncle's daughters and sons, cannot marry because they have the same surname as themselves.
But if it is a descendant of the matrilineal side, such as the daughter of an uncle, or the descendant of the mother's relatives, the descendants of the elder sister and the younger sister, they can get married.
That is, cousins can intermarry, but cousins cannot.
Compared with Zong Zhou's strict non-marriage with the same surname, the non-marriage with the same surname after the Western Han Dynasty is undoubtedly much more relaxed.
This situation was strictly controlled once during the Tang Dynasty, and even cousins were not allowed to intermarry during the Tang Dynasty.
But when it came to Song Ming, it was relaxed again.
Therefore, in the historical records of the Song and Ming dynasties, as well as the lives of literati and scholars, it is very common to have the love of childhood sweethearts and cousins.
In Mr. Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu", doesn't the fairy sister also want to marry her cousin!
Of course, there are still very few cases of an uncle like Liu Ying marrying a niece.
That is, Empress Lu covered the sky with one hand, so she was able to do this kind of thing.
However, the result of forcing the cow to drink water will not be good, and throughout her life, Liu Ying did not have children with Queen Zhang.
After Liu Ying, at least in the history books, there is almost no such absurd thing about an uncle marrying a niece.
(This refers to the legal situation, as we all know, the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty love to play around...) There are a lot of Lun, but it's chaotic.. Lun is the red line of the Western Han Dynasty, after all, to rule the world with filial piety, and found that there are princes and kings in chaos. Len, that's the first time he's going to be executed! )
(But it's not illegal for an uncle to marry a niece, and few do.) )
Most of them are marriages between cousins and cousins.
Although it is said that the combination of cousins and cousins will indeed have an impact on the genes of the offspring, and there is a chance of giving birth to a deformed child.
But after all, the odds are still not as serious as the marriage of immediate family members.
Therefore, this matter was not taken seriously by the ancient dynasties.
The ancients didn't look at genes, only at surnames.
When a female member marries, the child will not inherit the surname, but follow the man's surname, so naturally there is no restriction of "not marrying with the same surname".
"So, this right lady's Zhao, and Zhao Hu's Zhao, are really two Zhao characters written in one stroke?"
"Isn't it a family?"
After jumping out of this thinking circle, Chen Han's mind immediately became flexible.
He raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Maybe this right lady is still surnamed Zhao who was born in the Baiyue tribe." ”
"After Zhao Tuo occupied the Lingnan region, in order to rule the Baiyue under his rule, it is estimated that the Baiyue people were given Han surnames and Han names."
"Especially the national surname Zhao, it is a variety of big distributions, and maybe four or five of the ten Baiyue tribes will change their surnames to Zhao."
"This is not even the same nationality, even if they are all surnamed Zhao, it doesn't matter!"
