My surname is Jin, my ancestral home is Qingyuan, Liaoning. The first character Wan in my family tree means Jin Wanyou. Now in line is Yuan Zhen Fu Shou. I want to know the origin of my family name and the order of my family tree.

The surname Jin has many origins. The earliest one originated from Emperor Shaohao in ancient times, that is, according to Yingshao's "Customs and Meanings" of the Eastern Han Dynasty: the surname Jin is "after Shaohao Jintian". ". Shaohao was the leader of the ancient Dongyi tribe. The Dongyi tribe used birds as their totem. He once used the bird as his official name, and established Gongzheng and Nongzheng to manage handicrafts and agriculture. It is said that he practiced Taihao's method, so he was named Shaohao. According to the ancient theory of the five elements, gold was born in the soil, so he was named King of Jin De, so he was named Jin Tianshi. "Emperor Century" says: Shaohao ascended the throne from poverty to Sang and later moved to Qufu. Qiongsang was located in the north of Qufu City, Shandong Province. Among Shaohao's descendants, one of them simplified his name as "Jin Tianshi" and changed it into a surname, which is the Jin family. Tracing the roots: ① It comes from Jinri Shidan, the son of King Xiutu of the Xiongnu. "Records of the Former Qin Dynasty" records: Han Xiu butchered the crown prince, Rishi, to serve as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The emperor used Xiutu to make a golden man to worship heaven, and gave him the surname Jin. ② According to legend, there was the Kingdom of Jin in ancient times. The people of the country took Jin as their surname, and Fu Xichen Jindi came after him (see "Surname Kao"). ③Comes from the descendants of Huangdi's own surname. According to "Customs and Meanings", it is said that Shaohao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, was revered as the Great Emperor of the West after his death. According to the Five Elements theory, gold belongs to the West, so Shaohao was called the Jintian clan, and some of his descendants were named Jin. ④According to the "History of Wu and Yue", Xiang Bo was given the surname Liu during the Western Han Dynasty. His descendants changed their surname to Jin during the Five Dynasties to avoid the name taboo of King Qian Liu of Wu and Yue (Liu and Liu have the same pronunciation). ⑤Come by giving a surname. In the Ming Dynasty, Mongolian princes also started to work as natives, and people from the Yuan Dynasty, such as Esentuk and Alhat Shili, were given the surname Jin. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty gave seven surnames to Taiwanese aborigines, including the surname Jin. ⑥Change your surname or other things. Jin Luxiang from the Yuan Dynasty and Jin Shengtan from the Qing Dynasty all changed their surnames; the Jinpi and Henggun clans of the Jingpo clan, the Suoqu clan and the Deligan clan of the Daur clan and other Han surnames were changed to Jin; the Qiang clan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Silla Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, and the Jurchen clan in the Jin Dynasty, Today, Hui, Mongolian, Tu and other ethnic groups all have the surname Jin. ⑦The Korean surname originates from "Wang". In 1392 AD, General Li Chenggui of the Goryeo Dynasty deposed the King of Goryeo and proclaimed himself king, changing the name of the country to "Joseon". The King of Joseon wanted to exterminate the original Goryeo Dynasty royal family (surnamed Wang) with strong Mongolian ancestry, so people with the royal surname of Joseon changed their surnames to Kim, Jeon, and Ok.

Another Jin family came from Jin Rixi (Yin Mi Di) in the Western Han Dynasty. In the spring of the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC) of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu sent General Huo Qubing and his cavalry out of Longxi to attack the Xiongnu and captured the "Golden Man" of King Xiutu of the Xiongnu. "Golden Man" refers to the golden Buddha statue, which was erected by the Xiongnu royal family to worship heaven. In the autumn of this year, Rixi, the crown prince of King Xiutu, returned to the Han Dynasty with King Hunxie. Because Rixi was true and loyal, he was trusted and loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu used his father as a golden man to worship heaven, and gave him the surname Jin, calling him Jin Rixi. From then on, his descendants were named Jin for generations. Starting from Emperor Wu, all members of the Jin Rixi family were chamberlains for seven generations. Together with the minister Zhang Tang, they were also called "Jin Zhang" in later generations, which became the synonym for the family of meritorious officials.

In addition to the two Jin clans mentioned above, during the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the leader of the Qiang people was the Jin clan. During the Tang Dynasty, the king of Silla was named Jin. The founding king of Wuyue, one of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, was named Qian Liu. Since "Liu" has the same pronunciation as Liu, in order to avoid the taboo of his name, people with the Liu surname in the country all went to the Maotou Dao in the character Liu and changed their name to Jin. Reproduction and Migration The birthplaces of the Jin surname are mainly Shandong, Shaanxi and Zhejiang and Jiangsu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Tan State (today's north of Tancheng, Shandong Province) was founded by the Shandong Jin surname (Shaohao branch). It was destroyed by Wu during the Warring States Period. Some people migrated south, and later formed a famous family in Pengcheng (today's Jiangsu Province). During the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns Jin Rishidan returned to the Han Dynasty, and the tribe multiplied in the Xi'an area of ??Shaanxi Province. His two sons were both ministers, and his younger brothers also held important positions in the court. Together with Zhang Tang, the minister of the Western Han Dynasty, they were also called Jinzhang in later generations. They were the family of a distinguished family of meritorious officials. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people with the Jin surname had their footprints in Gansu and other places. For example, Jin Zuo, the governor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was from Anding (now the north of Jingchuan County, Gansu Province). In the Tang Dynasty, the surname Jin was one of the three surnames in Shujun, Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan), and one of the four surnames in Hexi County, Fenzhou (now Linfen, Shanxi). It can be seen that during this period, the Jin surname developed in both the north and the south, and its distribution points became increasingly widespread. The Five Dynasties was an important period in the history of the development of the Jin surname. At that time, the surname Liu was originally a common surname in the Wuyue Kingdom. To avoid taboos, the surname was changed to Jin, which greatly enhanced the power of the Jin surname tribe, especially in Zhejiang and Jiangsu in the south. In later generations, the development of the Jin surname in the south , and most of them take the surname Jin in this area as the source of reproduction. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, some people with the Jin surname in the north moved south to avoid war. During the Hongwu and Yongle years of the Ming Dynasty, there were immigrants with the Jin surname from Shanxi Dahuaishu in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei and other places. Many other ethnic minority surnames were given the surname Jin, and more new branches sprouted. Starting from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, people with surnames from Fujian and Guangdong came to Taiwan one after another and then moved overseas. In short, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were an endless stream of famous people recorded in history, and most of them came from the south, which shows that the Jin surname has developed to a new stage of prosperity during this period, and the south is a typical example of this prosperity. Today, the surname Jin is mostly distributed in Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Sichuan and Shanghai. These six provinces and cities account for about 62% of the Han population with the surname Jin in the country.

There is also a line of the Jin family that was changed from the surname Temu. They are the descendants of Genghis Khan (Temujin), the Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, and come from the family of the Prime Minister Temu. According to legend, Prime Minister Tie Mu was a loyal minister. Taizu believed the slander and wanted to capture Prime Minister Tie Mu's five sons. Wuzi left the city at night and fled to Guizhou. When he saw Taizu personally leading the pursuing troops, he hid under Fengjin Bridge. When the pursuers arrived, someone saw the turbulence in the water under the bridge and raised suspicions. Taizu did not investigate carefully and said casually: "There is water in the river and fish in the water. Why make a fuss? Just continue chasing forward quickly." After the brothers escaped, they changed the Tiemu clan to the Jin clan, and the other decided to change it to the Yu clan.

"Yu" is one less horizontal than the word "gold", and it is also a homophony of the word "fish" which means "there are fishes in the water", a double entendre.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, some of the Jin family moved to Gansu Province, such as Jin Zuo, the governor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was from Anding (now north of Jingchuan County, Gansu Province). During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, one of the three surnames in Shu County of Yizhou (where the government was located in Chengdu, Sichuan) had the Jin family, and one of the four surnames in Hexi County of Fenzhou (now Linfen, Shanxi Province) had the Jin family. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, in addition to developing in present-day Zhejiang and Jiangsu, the Jin family in the south was also distributed in present-day Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces; Jin clan also existed in Henan, Hebei, Liaoning and other provinces in the north. The clan's settlement. Starting from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, people from the Jin family in Fujian and Guangdong moved to Taiwan one after another. After that, some moved overseas and lived in Singapore and other countries.
