Zhao Wencheng's Family Tree

Zhao had his own family tree a long time ago. The Genealogy of Zhao in Tianshui Hall in Song Dynasty recorded in detail the development and evolution of the lineage of Ying Pinghou, a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty. The Map of Han and Song Dynasties lists the ancestor Zhao Chongzhong to the 67th Zhao Jingyang, indicating that Tianshui moved to Chang 'an, Xiangyang Fancheng, Hongzhou and Jiangnan. Zhao's family tree is revised every 30 years. Most of the existing Zhao genealogies were written in the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China.

Origin:

According to legend, Zhao (Zhao) came from the won surname, and his ancestor was Zhao Fu. According to legend, Zhao Wuji got eight swift horses in Huashan and gave them to Zhou Muwang. King Mu went hunting in these eight carriages and went to Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West gave a banquet in Yaochi. At this time, Xu Yanwang in the southeast rebelled. Zhao Fu drove thousands of miles every day, got back to the Imperial City in time, and led troops to defeat Xu Yanwang. Because of Zhao Fu's rebellion, Mu Wang made him Zhao Cheng (now the north of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province). From then on, Zhao Fu and his descendants took the fief as their surname and became Zhao. Qin Shihuang's family is Zhao, and the royal family in Song Dynasty is Zhao, which is the national surname. Of course, it is the first surname of "Hundred Family Names". In the first sentence of Hundred Family Names, Zhao means power and money means money. The problem of everything in the world and money is the first problem. Zhao is the eighth surname in China today, accounting for 2.29% of the Han population in China.

There are three main sources:

Start with the name that won in the end. Formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Boyi was the distant ancestor and Jujube Fu was the ancestor. Boyi, the grandson of Emperor Zhuan Xu, took Shun as his surname. Zhao Fu, the grandson of Boyi IX, is a famous carriage owner in Zhou Muwang. Because of his work, he was named Zhao Cheng, and the people in Zaofu were called Zhao. Later, the State of Zhao was established in the early years of the Warring States, and was destroyed by the State of Qin in 222 BC. Its royal family and ordinary people all take the country name as their surname and call it Zhao.

The emperor gave the surname. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Jipeng and Li, the leaders of the Tangut Tuoba Department, surrendered successively, and the court gave them the names Zhao Baozhong and Zhao Baoji respectively; Song Shenzong named Mu Rong Zhao Sizhong; Song Zhezong named Zhao Huaide Long Zanqing Tang Longmao of Hehuang Qiang nationality; His younger brother, Bang Cui, was named Zhao Huaiyi; Ma Su, a native of Guangluqing in Liao Dynasty, was named Zhao for his meritorious service in Song Dynasty. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuwen Xu Zhong, a Xianbei ethnic group, tried to rescue Song Huizong and Song Qinzong who were captured by the Jin Dynasty. Being outnumbered, he was killed, and the Southern Song Dynasty court gave him the surname Zhao. In addition, since the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Jews entered China, especially in the Song Dynasty. The surname of Jewish immigrants was given by the emperor. According to the inscription in the second year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1489), Jews at that time had seventeen surnames, including Li, An, Ai, Gao, Mu, Zhao and Jin. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a Jewish doctor who joined China was sincere. Zhao Zhuocheng, governor of Zhangnan Road, Fujian Province, was also a Jew during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, showed leniency to the surrendered Mongolian aristocrats and gave them Chinese names to show his praise. There was a Mongolian nobleman named Qibatu, who was named Zhao Zhongmei, and their descendants were also surnamed Zhao. In ancient times, one person took the surname of the country and was proud of supporting his family. The people changed their surnames to the national surnames, which greatly expanded the population of Zhao.

Ethnic minorities changed their surnames to Zhao. With the development of history, Zhao has also appeared among Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Buyi, Miao, Tibetan, Achang, Tujia, Korean, Yao, Zhuang, Hani, De 'ang, Wa, Jingpo, Oroqen, Xibe, Yi, Bai and Dai. Zhao's original surname was Han. There is also the Zhao surname of the ancient Xiongnu, the Baiman tribe in Yunnan in the Tang Dynasty, and the Pangkeman in the Tang Dynasty. Such as the Xiongnu Zhao Anji in the Western Han Dynasty and the Vietnamese Zhao Guang; Zhao Shanzheng, a Bai nationality in the Five Dynasties; Mongolian Zhao and Tibetan Zhao Agchang in Yuan Dynasty; Zhao Ruifeng of Yao nationality in Southern Song Dynasty; Zhao Keguang, Zhao, Zhao, etc. After the Revolution of 1911, Manchu Aixin Jueluoshi, Xitala, Ayan Jueluoshi, Juercha, Ilgen Jueluoshi, Ata Jueluoshi, Ozhuo and Mongolians all changed their surnames to Zhao. In addition, many people in history changed their surnames to Zhao for reasons of avoiding disasters, in-laws, adoption and adoption.
