What is the surname of the ancient Miao area?

Some Miao people in the eastern Guizhou dialect area implement the joint father-son system. In Kaili City, huangping county, Leishan County and Danzhai County, most girls' Miao names begin with "A" and boys' Miao names begin with "dia". The naming system of father and son in Jianhe County should be Miao surname first, first name last and last name last. Most of the names are named after the twelve earthly branches and natural animals and plants.

Such as: Wu (Ngux), Wei (Mais), Shen (Hxenb), You (Yul), Hai (Hat), Ugly (Hxud), Yin (Yenx) and so on. Among all natural things, such as flowers (bangx), grass (niang x), water (eb) and stones.

For example, in the Zaid Doakes family in Nanbaozhai, Jianhe County, the Chinese surname is mostly Yang, and the word is "hot, positive, communication, wide, prosperous, prosperous and repairing".

The seven generations of Miao descendants are: Ruan Yan Si Dao Ke-Yan Ji Si Dao Ke-Ji Ke Yang Xi Dao Ke-Yang Xi Qiao Ke-Qiaobo Island and so on. Formed a series of family lineages.

In the branch of tin embroidery in Nanzhai Town, Jianhe County, Han surname should be added before Miao surname. For example, the name of Liufuzhai is hxenb bod niel, and the name of Zhanliuzhai is nil sanb jeex. Take the name "Longsangni wine" as an example. "Dragon" is the surname of Han nationality, "Ni" is his own name, "Sanbu" is his father's name, and "Jiu" is the surname of Miao nationality.

The history of using Han surnames in the history of Qiandongnan Prefecture began in the middle of Qing Dynasty, when the Miao nationality was opened, and it was designated by the government or chosen by itself for the purpose of statistical hukou, so the history of using Han surnames by Miao nationality was not long. Moreover, there is no strict correspondence between Han surnames and Miao surnames. The same Miao surname may have multiple Han surnames, and the same Han surname often has multiple Miao surnames.

Miao is the main surname in family identity or family relationship. For example, two families named Yang Can get married. Although the surname of Han is the same, the surname of Miao is different. Because the Miao surname is not clear in the history books, it is often thought that "marriage does not avoid the same surname". This is completely wrong.

Do Taijiang County have Miao surnames such as Zhaifang, Zhaili, Zhaixiang, Zhaigou, Zhailiu and Zhailao? [4]。 Other counties are dominated by one word: Hou, Hua, Qing, Jun, Wen and Yun. And every county is different.

Extended data:

The word "Miaojiang" first appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but as a regional concept with a specific scope, it was formed after the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the country sent a large number of Han people from the mainland to southwest ethnic areas for the first time in the form of organized immigration, in the form of "military camp", "private operation" and "business operation", which profoundly changed the social and historical development process of southwest ethnic areas.

In this process, "Miao" began to replace "Man" in the past, and became one of the general names of non-Han people in southern China. The emergence of "Miao" and "Miao border" is closely related to the "nationalization" policy promoted by the state power of China Dynasty in the southwest during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, that is, the top-down process of political, economic and cultural integration.

Before developing these problems, it is necessary to review and sort out the interactive history between the southwest frontier and the Central Plains.
