In the Kamakura period, it was customary for the eldest son to inherit the land of the local lords, and the second son and other sons would open up new land, and when these people arrived in a new place, they would take a place name, and also use it as a Miao character, for example, the land that was cultivated near the mountain range was named "Yamamoto" or "Yamada", and the upper reaches near the river were named "Kawakami" or "Ueda".

At this time, the lower-ranking samurai also followed the example of the lord and took the Miao character one after another, and when they saw people reporting their families with the Miao character, the Japanese surname gradually swelled. In addition, in order to protect their land, farmers have organized small-scale armed forces in many villages, and the farmers in these villages have also inherited the Miao character of their ancestors.

Therefore, the occupation of the ancestors of the Japanese can be judged by the surnames of the Japanese, for example, the surnames of Nakata, Yama, Wild, and Kawa are basically from the countryside, while the ancestors of the people with the surnames of Tojo, Nanjo, and Jusanjo live in the cities, and most of them are industrialists and merchants. In the form of dog breeding, pig feeding, etc., their ancestors should be animal husbandry.

When the Japanese entered the Warring States period, Japan began to implement the separation of soldiers and peasants, and the division of labor in the armed forces became clearer. The identity system of Shinong industry and commerce began to be fixed, and due to the strict hierarchy, the problem of Miao characters also appeared, because ordinary people could not use Miao characters casually.

That is to say, at this time, although civilians inherited the Miao character of their ancestors, they could not report the Miao character in public. In the Edo period, however, there were stricter rules that allowed farmers, fishermen, and businessmen to use the Ao character on official documents such as the clan clan clan account (similar to the household register) and the shosho, and only allowed the use of names. However, when civilians go to the shrine to pray for blessings, they can report themselves to the gods.

After the Meiji Restoration, in order to catch up with the West, Japan actively learned from the West, and in many aspects to be in line with Western countries, in the process of modernization, the Japanese government found that it was very inconvenient for civilians to have no surnames but first names, for example, men are called "Taro" and "Jiro", and it is difficult to distinguish which one it is.

Moreover, after Japan introduced the national policy of "enriching the country and strengthening the army", it needed to recruit a large number of soldiers and actively prepare for external expansion. Detailed data on conscription, taxation, and household registration all required detailed data, so Emperor Meiji issued the "Civilian Seedling Permission Ordinance", which stipulated that all Japanese civilians who were previously unworthy of having a surname could now have a surname.

Unfortunately, the common people were largely unaware of this regulation, as they did not need a surname for hundreds of years in the Edo period, and the common people were accustomed to living with only a first name and no surname. In 1875, the Meiji government issued the "Miao Character Must Be Called Order", which stipulated that everyone must take a Miao character in front of their name, and ordinary people began to prefix the Miao character in front of their name, after which the Miao character was also called a surname.

Due to the laws and regulations at that time, there was a certain period of time for household registration, so the people at that time could not think of suitable surnames in a short period of time, and made up a lot of strange surnames in a hurry. For example, it is strange to use "尻" in the surname "江尻", which means buttocks in Chinese!

There is also the surname "Mitarai" which has the same meaning as the toilet, and probably the ancestors of this surname washed the toilet for the nobles! As for "my grandson", surnames like "my wife" are even more confusing!

Hearing that his family was about to have a surname, Tojiro was naturally excited. At this moment, he felt as if he was also a nobleman! So he asked eagerly, "What's my last name?" What should I have my last name?"

The pirate and the soldier of the Wu'an Army sitting behind the desk explained a few words in Chinese, but Tojiro could not understand it, so he could only turn back and forth on the two of them with an eager gaze. Then the soldier of Wu'an Army spoke, but he still did not understand, so he could only look at the pirate with pleading eyes, hoping that he could help translate.

The pirate turned his head and said loudly, "My brother said it. You are the first person to come up with a surname, and you will be counted according to Zhao Qiansun Li in the hundred family names, and you will have the surname Zhao in the future!"

Hearing this, Tojiro rubbed his hands vigorously and muttered, "My surname is Zhao, my surname is Zhao!" My name is Jiro Zhaoto!"

When the pirate heard this, he was furious and said in a loud voice, "You, what Zhao Tojiro! That's the name of the Wako, change it."

Zhao Tojiro's sweet dream was awakened, and he bowed again and again and said, "Yes, yes! It's just that the villain doesn't know how to come up with a name, so he asks the adults to help him come up with a name!"

The pirate and the soldier briefly talked twice

After the sentence, he turned his head and said, "My brother said, your name will be Zhao Teng in the future." As for the word Teng, it means that I hope you can take off thousands of miles, and it is a good name! Don't mention Tengjiro's name again in the future, remember, you will be Han in the future!"

Tojiro, Zhao Teng immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, "Two adults, the villain begs for one thing, my mother-in-law doesn't have a surname, don't you also give her a surname, and then help their mother and daughter give a name!"

The pirate scolded and said, "Why are there so many things, it doesn't matter if a mother-in-law has a surname or not!"

But Zhao Teng felt that this was a big deal, so he just lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. The soldier looked up and asked the pirate a few words before the pirate said, "My brother said it. Or go down according to the family name, your mother-in-law will be surnamed Qian in the future! By the way, what's her name?"

Zhao Teng immediately said, "His name is Zhizi!"

The pirate immediately took matters into his own hands and said, "Then you can call it Qian Zhi from now on!" What's your daughter's name?"

Tojiro said, "My daughter doesn't have a name, she keeps calling the girl."

The pirate said directly, "Then let's call Zhao Lamei, and my daughter has the same name."

Zhao Teng kowtowed again and again when he heard this, and even his mother-in-law and daughter kowtowed together with great joy. The pirates and soldiers wrote down their names and then turned around and said, "Stand up, from now on you are Han Chinese, and you can't kowtow casually." In the future, when I go to the Han land, I will learn the Chinese language and learn more about the rules of the Han people."

Zhou Teng immediately stood up and pulled his child up, but he still bowed again and again to express his gratitude. Then the soldier handed him a paperwork, and the pirate handed it to him and said, "This is your paperwork, and you will take it to naturalize when you come to Han in the future." You must not lose it before naturalization. Now get on board!"

Zhou Teng cautiously asked, "My lord, there are still a lot of things in the villain's house, can you go back and clean up?"

The pirate glared and said, "What good things can you have in your house?" A poor ghost, Lao Tzu is not rare to rob! And we have robbed all the surrounding areas, maybe you don't have anything at home, just go straight to the boat, and naturally there will be something to distribute to you when you get to Handi."
