How did this surname come from?

Sheng surname comes from three aspects:

1, from Ji's surname, taking the country name as the surname. According to "Examination of Surnames", many countries with the same surname were enfeoffed after the destruction of Shang Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty, which was one of them. When Guo Sheng first sealed Zhou Muwang, he was located in Huafeng area, south of Tai 'an. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guo Sheng was harassed by powerful neighbors such as Lu, Qi and Wei, and was finally destroyed by Qi in 686 BC. After the national subjugation, Sheng Guogong took the country name as his surname to commemorate the old country, and his surname was Sheng. Therefore, it can be traced back to China people whose surname is Sheng for more than 2,000 years, and they are also the most brilliant descendants of Huangdi Ji.

2, from the ancestral name to the surname, changed from the surname (teacher). The other surname was changed from Ying surname, which was obtained in the late Western Han Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a famous minister named Gong Xuan, and one of his descendants took his name as his surname. By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, because he was named Liu, the people had to avoid it and change their surname to Sheng. Another example is the surname spectrum: "Beihai is a satrap, taboo, and changed his surname to Sheng"; "The Biography of Western Qiang in the Later Han Dynasty" also pointed out: "In the East China Sea, Shengbao is the first surname, which is taboo and changed to Shengsheng".

3. Change the surname from ethnic minorities. In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banners' surname was Sheng Jiashi, and the Han surname was changed to Sheng Jiashi.

The ancestor of Zhao. The ancestor of the Sheng family was Zhao Gongxuan of Yan State in Zhou Dynasty. Because it was sealed in Zhaozhou (now southwest of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province), it is also called,. Zhao Gong helped Zhou Wuwang destroy business and was sealed in Yan. The descendants of Zhao take the names of their ancestors as their surnames and become their surnames. After the Western Han Dynasty, it was renamed Sheng (real name Liu) because of taboo. The descendants of the Sheng family are respectfully called the ancestors of the Sheng family. [Edit this paragraph] Second, there are two main sources of migration distribution, of which the earlier one comes from the rich and powerful countries in the Spring and Autumn Period; The other surname was changed from Ying surname, which was obtained in the late Western Han Dynasty. Historically, the Sheng family formed a noble family in Runan (ruling Shangcai in Henan Province) and (ruling the south of Shangqiu in Henan Province), and many famous figures appeared. Among them, Ting Ji in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ge Guo Gong Sheng Delay in the Early Tang Dynasty, Sheng Yao, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, a painter in the Ming Dynasty and Sheng Xuanhuai, an industrialist in the Qing Dynasty, are all outstanding representatives of Sheng surname. According to later scholars' textual research, the ancestor of Sheng surname in China derived Ji surname, calling for supporting his grandson to make Yu Sheng the surname of the vassal of Yan State, and later avoided the taboo of the Han and Yuan emperors and changed to take the country as his surname. There is enough information to illustrate this point. Surname scholars have always had the same view on the origin of Sheng surname and its close relationship with Zhou royal family. For example, the surname test said that "Zhou Muwang is prosperous after the country"; The Record of Words and Actions of Celebrities points out in more detail: "Surnames are destroyed by Qi. Mutong, the country of prosperity. The story of the ram spread to Qi Shi, the winner was Chang, and the same surname was taboo. Therefore, the words are prosperous, including Situ Shengji, Runan and Guo Liang. " Judging from the above documents, the ins and outs of the prosperous family are clear at a glance. At the same time, according to "Looking at Runan and Guo Liang" recorded in "Records of Words and Actions of Famous Nationalities", this manuscript is a work of the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, the descendants of this branch mainly lived in the areas of Henan and Sichuan in the north of China. However, in the earlier Eastern Han Dynasty, the activities of Sheng people were not limited to Henan and Sichuan. At that time, they had been found in Yunnan, south of China. At that time, they had a long history with the famous minister Sima Xiangru. According to historical records, they are Yu Yeren and now live in Dali County, Yunnan Province. Sheng Lan is going down in history with "question" as the fu method. It is said that he is very conceited. After consulting Sima Xiangru once, he dared not say anything all his life.
