How did the surname Gao come from Guangrao County, Dongying City, Shandong Province? Is there any genealogical record?

Yi comes from the surname Jiang, a descendant of Emperor Yan, and the ancestor of the surname is Gao Yi.

The surname Gao is a descendant of Qi Taigong Jiang Ziya. The Jiang family was originally a descendant of Emperor Yan, so the surname Gao is a descendant of Emperor Yan. The first blood ancestor of the surname Gao is Emperor Yan.

"Dialectics of Ancient and Modern Surname Books" and "Tongzhi Clan Brief" both mention: "The Gao family comes from the surname Jiang." Emperor Yan was the tribal leader with the surname Jiang in ancient times, so Emperor Yan Shennong was the first blood ancestor of the surname Gao.

As mentioned earlier, it is said that Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were brothers. Because Emperor Yan grew up in the Jiangshui (a tributary of the Wei River, east of Qishan, today's Shaanxi) basin, he took Jiang as his surname. Later, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang had conflicts of interest again. After three fierce battles, Emperor Yan was defeated by Huang Emperor. After that, the Yandi tribe further merged with the Huangdi tribe and merged with part of the Jiuli tribe. They lived in the Yellow River Basin for a long time and formed the backbone of the Huaxia tribe in the future.

Legend has it that Emperor Yan was the first person to invent agriculture in ancient times, so he was called Shennong. It is said that at that time, the population was large but the animals were few, and food and clothing were insufficient. Emperor Yan used wood to cut and knead it into tools such as shu and lei, and taught people to cultivate land and sow grains. His son Zhu also taught people to grow vegetables. Legend has it that when he was thinking about how to teach people to sow grains, many grain seeds fell from the sky. He collected these grain seeds and sowed them on the cultivated land. From then on, there were grains for people to eat. There is also a more magical and beautiful legend. It is said that at that time, there was a red sparrow flying through the sky with a nine-eared grain seedling in its mouth. The grains on the ears fell to the ground, and Emperor Yan picked them up and planted them. In the field, it will grow into a tall and big Jiagu. By eating this kind of Jiagu, people can not only satisfy their hunger, but also live forever.

In addition, Emperor Yan also fights against human diseases. Legend has it that he once used a magical whip called "ochre whip" to whip various medicinal herbs. When these herbs are beaten with ocher whips, they will be poisonous or non-poisonous, cold or hot, and their properties will naturally be revealed. Emperor Yan treated people according to the different properties of these herbs. It is also said that Emperor Yan personally tasted hundreds of herbs in order to further verify the properties of the medicine, and was poisoned 70 times in one day, thus identifying many poisonous herbs. In the end, he tasted a highly poisonous gut-broken grass, and eventually his intestines were broken and he sacrificed his life for the people. Nowadays, when people see the vine-like plant with small yellow flowers climbing on the edge of the wall or fence, they are alert and know that it is very poisonous because it once killed Emperor Yan Shennong. It is said that the tripod where Shennong tasted medicine is still preserved in Shenfu Gang, Taiyuan, Shanxi. It is also said that in Chengyang Mountain, you can also find the place where Shennong whipped medicine. That mountain is also called Shennongyuan or Herb Mountain.

Emperor Yan saw that although the people had sufficient food and clothing, their lives were still somewhat inconvenient, so he asked the people to set up a market and exchange the things they needed with each other in the market. There were no clocks at that time, and there was no other way to record time. Why should we set the time for exchange? People couldn't abandon their work and wait in the market all day long! So Emperor Yan taught them to use the height of the rising sun as the standard. , trades are carried out when the sun is at its top, and the market closes after this period. It feels accurate and convenient to use, and everyone likes it very much.

When it came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was granted the title of Qi for assisting King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty. He was called the Grand Duke of Qi at that time.

Qi Taigong is a descendant of Emperor Yan, so he calls Emperor Yan the first blood ancestor of the surname Gao. Taigong of Qi, whose original surname was Jiang, whose courtesy name was Ziya, was commonly known as Jiang Ziya. His ancestors were granted the title of Lu (now Nanyangxi, Henan Province) during the reigns of Yu Shun and Xia Yu due to their meritorious service in assisting Dayu in managing the soil and water, and his descendants took the surname Lu. Taigong of Qi, whose name was Shang, was also called Lu Shang by later generations. According to historical records: Qi Taigong's family had begun to decline by the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and he lived in poverty. Although he was extremely talented and learned, and often wanted to put his talents to use, he spent most of his life in obscurity, poverty and misery. He once slaughtered cattle in Chaoge (now Qixian County, Henan Province) and opened a restaurant in Mengjin (now northeast of Mengjin, Henan Province). When his energy had obviously declined, he had to come to the Weishui River, build a hut by the water, and make a living by fishing. But deep in his heart, there is still a faint hope: one day he will meet Mingjun, so that his full economic ambitions can finally be put to use.

But as the years passed, his beard and hair finally turned from gray to completely white. There were already two deep concave marks on the stone where he threw his bait and threw his bait, and where he knelt and knelt. The sound of Mingjun's footsteps is still faint. In the end, he planned to throw away even this remaining hope, and prepared to become a wave fisherman, which he was not willing to do, and live in seclusion for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, at this moment of despair, he saw a long, black man dressed as a king walking towards him, and a dramatic meeting began. King Wen of Zhou, who was thirsty for talents, quickly realized with his politician's insight that this person was the great sage he was looking for. King Wen of Zhou said: "My ancestors once said, 'If a saint comes to Zhou in the future, Zhou will prosper.' You are the saint that my Taigong calls you!" From then on, people called Lu Shang "Tai Gongwang." King Wen of Zhou Dynasty Xibo Invite Qi Taigong to get in the car and return to the capital together, and appoint him as Taishi (the military attache in charge of the army).

After that, Qi Taigong assisted Xibo to recruit talents, rectify internal affairs, expand armaments, and conquer south and north, making great contributions to laying the foundation for the conquest of merchants. Since King Wen of Zhou Dynasty acquired Jiang Ziya, the Grand Duke of Qi, he annexed several nearby small countries. The capital was moved from Qixia (to the north of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province today) to Feng (to the east of Hu County, Shaanxi Province today), and he gradually moved towards Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. After Xibo's death, he assisted King Wu to destroy the Shang Dynasty, charged into battle, and made great achievements. Therefore, when King Wu granted him the title of prince, he was granted the title of Duyingqiu in Qi (later known as Linzi, northeast of today's Zibo City, Shandong). Qi Taigong became the founding monarch of Qi, a princely state in the Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Taigong contributed to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. When King Wu of Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the country, he was granted the title of Qi. His capital was Yingqiu (now north of Linzi, Shandong). He was established in the hometown of Bo Gu between Mount Tai and the Bohai Sea. Qi State. Its jurisdiction covers the eastern and northern areas of present-day Shandong Province, including the Yellow River Basin north of Mount Tai and the Jiaodong Peninsula. Since Jiang Taigong's 8th generation grandson (亻xi) (i.e. Gao (亻xi)) received the surname Gao, the surname Gao has had an important political status in Qi State. The Gao family, the Guo family, the Xian family, and the Yan family are all The largest slave-owning aristocracy in Qi. Therefore, in ancient times, the Gao surname had considerable power in the area of ??present-day Linzi, Shandong.

After Taigong arrived, he revised politics, respected the customs and habits of the local people, streamlined cumbersome etiquette, and took advantage of the fishing and salt production on the seashore to develop commerce and handicrafts, making the country prosperous and strong. As a result, nearby residents moved in one after another. Later, he also gained the power to conquer the princes of the world. Anyone who disobeyed the Zhou royal family, failed to perform their duties, or made mistakes could send troops to punish them on behalf of the Emperor Zhou. Therefore, he destroyed the small eastern countries and made Qi an auxiliary to the Zhou royal family. The main force controlling the Bohai coast and Laiyi area.

It was passed down to the sixth generation of Sun Wen Gong Lü Chi, who had a son who was granted the title of Gaoyi (now Yu County, Henan Province) and was called Gongzi Gao. The most lofty ministers in Qi during the Zhou Dynasty were Dukes Guo and Gao. Their appointments were directly awarded by the Emperor of Zhou. When Gongzi Gao’s grandson (Qian Xi) was serving as Shangqing in Qi, he was a good minister with Qi Xianggong’s younger brother Gongzi Xiaobai. friend. Later, Duke Xiang of Qi was killed by Gongsun Wuzhi. (Qian Xi) joined forces with Guan Zhong and other ministers to put down the civil strife. Zhu killed Gongsun Wuzhi and made his son Xiaobai the king, who is Duke Huan of Qi. Because of his merits, Duke Huan of Qi gave him the surname of Wang's father and called him Gao (亻xi). Later, he took Gao as his surname and became the Shandong Gao surname.

Gao (庻xi) was named Jingzhong. He was the chief minister of Qi State and had a high status in Qi State. At that time, he had a very good relationship with Xiaobai, the son of Duke Xianggang of Qi. After Duke Xiang of Qi was killed, Xiaobai, who was in Ju (today's Ju County, Shandong), secretly ordered Xiaobai to return to the country and ascend the throne, making him the king, that is, Duke Huan of Qi. . After that, he managed the state affairs together with Guan Zhong and others, and assisted Duke Huan of Qi in establishing his hegemony. Because of his meritorious service to the country, Duke Huan of Qi made him a minister for generations to come. Since the beginning of Gao Dynasty, the surname Gao has played an important role in Qi for more than 200 years.

Gao Hou gave birth to a son named Zhuang Zihu, Zhuang Zihu gave birth to Qingzi, Qingzi gave birth to Xuan, and Xuan gave birth to a son named Gu. During the reign of Gao Gu (582 BC), the Gao family's political status in Qi became prominent again. Gao Gu was the Shangqing of Qi during the reigns of Duke Hui and Duke Qing of Qi. He once made meritorious service to Qi State in the war between Qi State and Jin State. According to historical records, before the Battle of An in the 10th year of Qinggong (589 BC), he entered the enemy camp alone, threw stones at the Jin army, and caught a Jin soldier. Then he got on the enemy's chariot and tied mulberry tree roots to the enemy's camp. on the car to show that it is different from other enemy cars. After returning to the Qi camp, he made a speech on the tour: "Those who want courage can come and buy the remaining courage from me." This greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the Qi army.

Gao Gu gave birth to a son named Hou. Gao Hou was a minister of Qi Jinggong.

He once served as the teacher of Prince Guang (Qizhuang Gong). After Qi Linggong changed Li Ya to the crown prince, Gao Hou was entrusted by Linggong to assist Prince Ya. But at this time, Gao Hou had been involuntarily involved in the struggle of Qi's upper class. When he was serving as Crown Prince Fu, he and the Guo clan expelled Cui Zhu to the Kingdom of Wei. Soon after, Cui Zhu took advantage of Duke Lin's critical illness to welcome Crown Prince Guang to the throne in order to avenge his personal grudges. Cui Zhu sent people to kill Gao Hou.

Gao Li, the son of Gao Hou, had little political achievements in Qi. Gaoli gave birth to a son, Gaozhi. Gao Zhi, courtesy name Zirong, was a senior official of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. He once worked with officials from various countries to build a new capital for Duke Qiwen. However, because he liked to cause trouble, was arrogant and arbitrary, he was exiled to Beiyan by the clan ministers Gongsun Hui and Gongsun Zao in the fourth year of Qi Jinggong (544 BC). Gao Zhi's son Gao Shu, who occupied his fief Lu (today's southwest of Changqing, Shandong), mutinied. Later, under siege by the Qi army, he was forced to return his fief Lu to the official office and fled to the Jin Dynasty. At this point, the Gaogu branch lost its political advantage in Qi.

While Gao Gu's descendants fell out of favor, another branch of Gao (Zhen Xi) then prospered in Qi. When Gaozhi was exiled to the State of Yan and Gao Shu rebelled against Lu Yi, the people of Qi recognized Gao Yan's virtuous ancestors and established Gao Yan as the successor of the Gao family. After that, Gao Yan's descendants held the status of Shangqing in the State of Qi. . Gao Yan's son Gao Zhang (Gao Zhaozi) was a minister of Qi Jinggong. He was sent as envoys to other countries many times, and worked with the princes of various countries to build the Zhou King's City. Later, together with Guo Xia, he led an army to attack Lu. When Qi Jinggong was seriously ill, he and Guo Huizi were ordered to make Tu the crown prince. After Jinggong died, they established Tu as the king of Qi, namely Yan Ruzi (reigned from 490 to 489 BC). The next year, Tian Qi and other officials launched an army to attack the palace. Gao Zhaozi was killed by Tian Qi in order to save the king. Gao Zhao became a loyal minister of the "Jiang Qi" country.

Gao Wupi (also known as Gao Wupi), the son of Gao Zhao, was also a senior official of the Qi State. In the first year of Qi Xun (485 BC), he and Guo Shuyi attacked the Lu State. When the State of Lu and the State of Wu attacked the State of Qi, Gao Wupi led the army and fought a battle with the army of the State of Wu in Ailing (today's east of Laiwu). As a result, the Qi army was defeated. In 472 BC, he led his troops to resist the invasion of the Jin army. In the last years of the Qi Kingdom, he made great contributions to defending the Jiang Qi regime. After the Gao family fell out of favor in Qi State, Gao Wupi fled to Beiyan (southeast of today's Daxing County, Hebei Province).

At that time, the struggle between the old and new aristocrats of the Qi State was fierce, mainly among more than a dozen large clans such as the Tian family, the Luan family, the Gao family, the Bao family, the Cui family, and the Qing family. It turns out that the political situation of Qi State was dominated by the old aristocrats Luan family (that is, the descendants of the Luan family of Jin who fled to Qi State) and the Gao family. In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the Tian family gradually became stronger. When they extended loans to the poor, they used a large amount of money to lend and a small amount of income, which was very popular among the people. Tian Huanzi took advantage of the weaknesses of the Luan and Gao clans, joined forces with the Bao clan, and defeated them in 532 BC. From then on, the two clans were in ruins. Forty years later, Tian Qi, the son of Tian Huanzi, united with some small nobles to attack the Gao family again in 490 BC, defeated the Gongshi and the coalition forces of the Gao family and the Guo family, and killed a large number of nobles. Guoxia fled to Ju. Gao Zhang, Xian Shi and Yan Yu fled to Lu. The Gao family suffered another heavy blow. By 386 BC, Tian He was officially established as the Marquis of Qi and changed the Yuan Dynasty. Since then, the Qi State established by the Jiang surname was replaced by the Tian family, so it was called "Tian Qi". After the establishment of "Tian Qi", the Gao family's political status in Qi State has been basically lost.

Some of the descendants of Gao (廻xi) left Qidi and moved to other places. Gao Wupi moved to Beiyan State (in the southeast of today's Daxing County, Hebei Province); Gao Liang, the tenth generation grandson of Gao (Qian Xi), was the Sicheng of the Song State (one of the six ministers, in charge of state affairs and in charge of the city) and later moved to To the Chu State (today's northwest of Jiangling County, Hubei Province); Gao Liang's tenth generation grandson Gaohong was the prefect of Bohai during the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he settled in Beixian County of Bohai Sea (today's Jingxian County, Hebei Province). Gao Hong's family was a prominent family at that time, with many descendants. So the Gao family took Bohai as the commandery's headquarters.

Gao Ke and Gao Qumi, the ancestors of the Gao family in Qi State, had already served as officials in Zheng State before Gao (廻xi) received the surname Gao. Therefore, Volume 11 of "Ancient and Modern Surname Dialectics" says: "Qi Zhi Gao was already an official in Zheng."

Gao Ke was a senior official in Zheng, but he was not very popular among the people of Zheng. According to historical records, in the second year of Min Gong, the people of Zheng asked Gao Ke to lead his army to garrison on the river. After a long time, he still did not issue an edict to withdraw. Finally, Gao Ke's division was defeated and returned. Gao Ke was angry and defected to Chen Guo.

Compared with Gao Ke, Gao Qumi was loved by Duke Zheng Zhuang in Zheng State, and he also actively participated in the internal struggles of Zheng State's royal family.

Gao Qumi was the minister in charge of the military and political power of Zheng State at that time, and he had made great contributions to Zheng Zhuanggong. In 707 BC (the thirty-seventh year of Duke Zhuang of Zheng), King Huan of Zhou personally led the Zhou royal army and the armies of Cai, Wei, Chen and Guo to attack Zheng on the grounds that Duke Zheng Zhuang did not go to court to see the king of Zhou. Gao Qumi led the middle route. The army faced Yu Ge (now northeast of Changge, Henan Province) and defeated the Zhou king's army.

Later, when the prince of Zheng Zhuanggong suddenly succeeded to the throne as Zheng Zhaogong, the situation turned against Gao Qumi. Because when Hu was the prince, his father Zheng Zhuanggong wanted to appoint Gao Qumi as his minister, but Hu hated Gao Qumi and advised Zhuang Gong not to appoint Gao Qumi. Duke Zhuang refused to listen, and finally appointed Gao as his minister. Therefore, after Zheng Zhaogong suddenly succeeded to the throne, Gao Qumi had been trembling with fear, worried that Zhaogong would kill him. This worry lasted for more than a year. Finally, Gao Qumi decided to take a preemptive strike. In 695 BC, Gao Qumi took the opportunity to go hunting with Zhao Gong and shot Zhao Gong in the wild.

After Gao Qumi shot Duke Zhao, he made Ziyuan, the third son of Duke Zhao, the king of Zheng. Gao Qumi remained an important minister in the court. He accompanied Zi Yuan to attend the alliance meeting of princes at the first stop (Weidi, east of Suixian County, Henan Province) hosted by Duke Xiang of Qi. At the alliance meeting, Zi Yu refused to thank Duke Xiang of Qi. Duke Xiang of Qi was furious and secretly arranged the meeting during the alliance meeting. He set up an ambush and killed Ziyuan. Gao Qumi fled back to the State of Zheng from his first trip, conspired with the doctor Ji Zu, brought back Ziying, who was in the State of Chen at the time, and succeeded him as the king of the State of Zheng. During Ziying's reign, Gao Qumi still held great power in the court. After Ziying was killed and Zheng Wengong succeeded to the throne, Gao Qumi's political career in Zheng came to an end.

The descendants of Gao Ke and Gao Qumi are not recorded in the literature.

The second one is named Wangfu.

According to "Tongzhi Clan Briefing", the son of Duke Hui of Qi was called Gongzi Qi, with the courtesy name Zi Gao, and his descendants were also named Gao and Shandong Gao. Qi Huigong was the son of Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai and his concubine Shao Wei Ji. He served as the king of Qi for 10 years. The son of Duke Hui of Qi was called Gongzi Qi, with the courtesy name Zi Gao, and his descendants also took Gao as their surname.

3. Taking Yi as the surname

The feudal establishment of the country in the early Zhou Dynasty was closely related to the "patriarchal system". The patriarchal system was organized by clans based on blood. It evolved and played a great role in the formation of ancient Chinese surnames.

Clan relations are divided into "big clan" and "small clan". The emperor of Zhou claimed to be the representative of God in the world and the largest clan in the world. Relatively speaking, all the vassal states were small clans; the princes treated the emperor It was a small sect but became a large sect in its country, and the fiefs were entrusted to officials with the same surname. Fief, also called land acquisition and food fief, refers to the provision of land, including laborers attached to the land, to the hereditary food and salary of the ministers. Therefore, the place names of many fiefs often have "邑" next to them. For example:

With the enfeoffment one by one, the descendants of each class (kings, dukes, uncles, marquises, officials) inherited from generation to generation, and there were more and more branches with the same surname. It became more and more detailed, so "Xutu Mingshi" gradually spread all over the world. Not only did the names of many vassal states, large and small, become the "surnames" of the king's descendants, but also the city names of Cui, Qu, Bing (邴), Shao, Hou, Gao (高靝), Mo, (Mo靝)... It also became the "family" of the descendants of these town owners. According to "Tongzhi Clan Brief", there are 161 people who "take Yi as their surname".

4. From other clans or given a surname by changing his surname.

The surnames of ethnic minorities were changed to Gao. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented reforms and promoted the Sinicization policy. One of the measures was to change the compound surnames of the northern Hu people into single surnames of the Han people. During this period, the Xianbei clan changed their surname from Lou to Gao. According to the "Book of Wei", among the Xianbei people, some people changed their surname from Lou to Gao. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Emperor Murong Yun of Later Yan claimed to be a descendant of Gaoyang (one of the legendary Five Emperors) and changed his surname to Gao. Gao Yun, some of his descendants changed their surname to a single surname, called the Gao family, and they became the Gao family in Hebei. From the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, there were a large number of changes in Manchu surnames to Han surnames. Some used the Manchu surname prefix and transliterated it into Han surnames, and the Gaojia surname was changed to Gao.

Gao Longzhi, an important minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, whose real surname was Xu. His father was adopted by his uncle-in-law Gao. Because of his surname, he was named Gao Gan. He was the governor of Baishui County in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Gao Longzhi also changed his surname to Gao, following his father's surname. When he was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was an important minister in the court. After he was killed for some reason, Emperor Gao Yin of the Northern Qi Dynasty ordered his brother Gao Ziyuan to inherit the title of King of Yangxia. Gao Ziyuan's descendants developed in the area of ??Qixian County, Henan today and became a prominent local family. In addition, Gao Lishi, the eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, was the great-grandson of Feng An. His surname was Feng. He was later adopted by Gao Yanfu, so he changed his surname to Gao.

When the Gao family established the Northern Qi regime, the surname Gao became the national surname of Northern Qi, so the Emperor of Northern Qi gave him the surname Gao as a sign of favor. Because of Yuan Jing'an's meritorious service in the Battle of Mangshan, Gao Huan gave him the title of Du Xihua County's male title. After Gao Yang established the Northern Qi regime, he was given the surname Gao in 550 (the first year of Tianbao). In addition, Yuan Wenyao was also favored by Emperors Gao Yang and Gao Yan during the Northern Qi Dynasty. Because of his meritorious service in welcoming Emperor Gao Zhan to the throne, in 566 (the second year of Tiantong), the latter emperor Gao Wei issued an edict to give him the surname Gao. Their descendants took Gao as their surname.

According to the "Tongzhi Clan Brief", the feudal country of the Korean peninsula, Goryeo, had the Yuzhen family and later changed it to the Gao family. Goguryeo was originally an ancient tribe in the Hunjiang River Basin in Northeast China. It belonged to the Han Dynasty. It is under the jurisdiction of Xuantu County. In 37 BC, Gao Zhumeng, the leader of his tribe, made his capital in Heshenggu City (today's Huanren, Liaoning) and proclaimed himself king, establishing the Goguryeo Kingdom. The Gao family's rule in Goguryeo lasted for more than 600 years. In 3 AD, Goguryeo moved its capital to Inner City (today's Ji'an, Jilin), and in 427 it moved from Inner City to Pyongyang. Since the king of Goguryeo was the Gao family, the Gao family had a high political status during the existence of the ancient Goguryeo Kingdom. Some of the Gao family moved to mainland China. For example, Gao Yun's grandfather Gao He was a descendant of Goguryeo and a descendant of Yun Gaoyang's family, so he took Gao as his surname. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the great general Gao Lin, who was once crowned the Marquis of Juye County, had ancestors from Goguryeo. The fifth generation ancestor Gaozong surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty and was worshiped as the first chief of the people. Because of Gao Lin's outstanding military exploits, one of his sons was named the Duke of Xuchang County. Gao Lin's descendants developed in Juye, Shandong and Xuchang, Henan. General Gao Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty was also a native of Goguryeo. He served as a military officer in the Tang Dynasty when his father kept chickens. He also followed his father to Anxi and later became a famous military general in the Tang Dynasty. His descendants also settled in Miyun County, Beijing.

For example, Gaodong clan, Gaotang clan, Gaoyang clan, Gaoling clan, etc.
