The origin of the surname "Jin"

Jin (j and n) surname comes from four aspects:

1, from Jin, the son of the Yellow Emperor, Jane was changed to Jin. According to Customs Yi Tong, Compilation of Surnames and Records of Famous Men's Words and Actions, Shao Hao was one of the five ancient emperors and a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. After Shao Hao's death, he was honored as Xidi. According to the five elements theory of the ancients, the west belongs to gold, so it has the title of gold. Some of his descendants took Jin as their surname, which was passed down from generation to generation and called Jin.

2. When he came from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was given the surname Jin after the Xiongnu Prince. According to the Records of the Former Qin Dynasty, "Han presented Wang Xiutu to serve the Emperor Wu, and the Emperor made Xiutu worship the heaven for the Golden Man and gave him the surname Jin." According to the Records of Famous Men's Words and Actions and the Customs Pass, in the Han Dynasty, the son of the Xiongnu King of Earth-repairing was called Rihao, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Because he had cast a bronze statue (also known as the golden man) to worship the sky, he was given the surname "Jin" and said. From then on, all his descendants were named Jin.

3. From Liu, I changed my surname to avoid suspicion. According to Records of the History of Wu Yue and Biography of Yuan Confucianism, Xiang Bo was given the surname Liu in the Western Han Dynasty, and his descendants, Qian Liu, the founding king of Wu Yue Guo (one of the ten countries) in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, had the homonyms of "New Moon" and "Liu". In order to avoid suspicion, Liu was changed to Jin in Wu Yueguo.

4, in addition to the above three branches, there are seven sources of given surname, changed surname or Jin surname among ethnic minorities:

(1) During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a surname of A Jin among the Qiang people. According to the surname test, "Qiang leaders had A Jin's surname when they were in Qin, see Pre-Qin Records"; Jingpo people have the compound surname of Jin Pi and Henggun, Daur people have the compound surname of Suoqu, the three-character surname of Deligen, and so on.

(2) In the Tang Dynasty, Silla was named Jin. According to the Book of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xing of Silla (present-day Korean Peninsula) has gold.

(3) The Jurchen nationality in the Jin Dynasty and today's Hui, Mongolian, Tu and other ethnic groups all have the surname of Jin.

(4) In the Yuan Dynasty, there was Jin Fuxiang, originally belonging to Liu, and later changed to Jin.

⑤ During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor cut Mobei, and the prince of Mongolia also dried up the soil first, and led his wife to dispatch troops and give him the surname Jin.

⑥ Jin Shengtan, a literary critic in Qing Dynasty, was originally named Zhang and later changed his surname to Jin.

⑦ There are many descendants of Aisingiorro named Jin in Qing Dynasty.

★★★★ Ancestor: Shao Hao. Shao Hao, the son and heir of the Yellow Emperor, once ruled for 84 years, and his capital was Qufu. According to legend, he is the son of the Yellow Emperor and Luo Zu. He first established a system of attaching importance to gold with Jinde Wangjian, so he has the title of "the stone of heaven" and he has a descendant. Later, Jin was the surname, which has been used for generations. The Jin family, a descendant of the Chinese people, gradually propagated southward from their hometown in Qufu, Shandong Province and became a famous family in Pengcheng. Pengcheng is now Xuzhou in Jiangsu. Therefore, the descendants of the Jin family are regarded as the ancestors of the Jin family.

Ancestor ②: Jin Ridi. Jin Ridi was originally the son of Xiutu, the king of Xiongnu, and Emperor Wudi surrendered to the Han Dynasty in the early years. He served the emperor for several years, never making mistakes, and was highly valued by Emperor Wu. He rose from a small official in charge of horses to a general in charge of chariots and horses. Before he died, Liang Wudi asked him to be assisted by the testamentary edict with Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang, and became a minister who contributed to the Han Dynasty. Because he once made a golden statue for Emperor Wu to worship heaven, he was given the surname of Jin, and later generations used this surname. Because of his high reputation, he was honored as his ancestor.

Second, migration distribution.

There are many Jin surnames, and their native places are mainly Shandong, Shaanxi and Zhejiang, Jiangsu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin (now the northern part of Tancheng, Shandong Province) was built by the surname of Jin (a branch of Jin) in Shandong Province, but it was destroyed by Wu in the Warring States Period, and some China people moved south, and then formed a noble family in Pengcheng (now Jiangsu). During the Western Han Dynasty, Jin Ridi, a Hun, belonged to the Han family and his ancestral home was Xi 'an, Shaanxi. His two sons are servants, and his younger brother has also been appointed to an important position in the DPRK. And Zhang Tang, Minister of the Western Han Dynasty, are also called "Golden Zhang", which is the home of heroes. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were Jin surname footprints in Gansu and other places. For example, Eugene, the ruler of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was from Anding (now north of Jingchuan County, Gansu Province). In the Tang Dynasty, Jin was one of the three surnames of Shu County in Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan) and one of the four surnames of Hexi County in Fenzhou (now Linfen, Shanxi). It can be seen that during this period, the Jin surname developed in parallel with the north and the south, and its distribution was increasingly widespread. The Five Dynasties is an important period in the development history of Jin surname. At that time, Liu was the most popular surname. In order to avoid the taboo of Qian Liu, the surname Jin was changed, which greatly enhanced the influence of Jin, especially in Zhejiang and Jiangsu in the south. The development of the Jin surname in the later South is mostly based on the Jin surname in this area. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were people in the northern Jin family who moved south to avoid the mutiny disaster. During the Hongwu and Yongle periods of Ming Dynasty, there were gold immigrants of Shanxi Sophora japonica in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and Hubei. In addition, the surnames of many ethnic minorities have been given the surname Jin, and more new branches have sprouted. In the Qing Dynasty, Fujian, Guangdong and Jin entered Taiwan Province one after another, and then overseas Chinese moved overseas. In short, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, celebrities recorded in historical books emerged one after another, and most of them came from the south, indicating that the Jin surname developed into a new heyday in this period, and the south was a typical example of this heyday. Today, the Jin surname is mainly distributed in Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Sichuan and Shanghai, which account for about 62% of the Han population in China. Jin is the 69th surname in China with a large population, accounting for 0.3 1% of the Han population in China.
