Is there a Yuan among the hundreds of surnames?

The Yuan family originated in Yuanshi County. Thursday, 3 1 May 2007, 08:38 I. The origin of surnames

1. Yuan is a China surname with a long history, and the most concrete proof is Yuan, a famous minister of Yin Shang Dynasty. Regarding Yuan Xi, Zhang Shu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once said in the Five Books of Surnames: "Di Yi abandoned his position and accepted Xin, and Taishiyuan fought according to the law, and the business owned yuanshi county County." It can be seen that there is no doubt that Yuan has a history of more than 3,000 years. Yuan Xi, Taishi of Yin Dynasty, who opposed Di Yi's abdication of the throne (named after Qi Xin) with his knowledge, was naturally the ancestor of Yuan County in later generations. But he was not the only ancestor of Yuanshi County, because in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period of Zhou Dynasty, Wei and Wei had two Yuan surnames respectively. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, at least three foreigners changed their surnames to Yuan, which made Yuan's surnames come from many sources and his blood relationship was not very simple. The more complicated source of surname in Yuanshi County can be found in the following ancient books.

2. "Customs Pass": "The city of Ziyuan, followed by Yuanshi County." This Yuanshi county appeared about 2200 years ago. The State of Wei in the Spring and Autumn Period was founded by Bi Wan, the descendant of the fifteenth son Bi. Then this Yuanshi county is naturally the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, surnamed Ji. According to research, the county seat of yuanshi county at that time is now Yuanshi County, in other words, it is the original birthplace of this branch of Yuanshi County.

Rhyme Society: There is a Yuan Xuan of Doctor Wei in Zuo Zhuan. "-this Yuan surname is also a descendant, and his native place is also in Hebei, Shandong and Henan.

3. "Shu Wei Gao Zuji": "After Wei Ben's surname was Tuoba, Emperor Xiaowen was more yuanshi county County." -This Yuanshi county is a descendant of Xianbei nationality. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties at the end of the Han Dynasty, China was divided between the north and the south, and the Xianbei Tuoba once dominated the north and established the Northern Wei Dynasty. When he arrived at Emperor Cowen, he advocated Chinese culture. In 496 AD, he changed his surname to Yuan and moved his capital to Luoyang. So later, Yuanshi County, which originated from Xianbei nationality, was active in Henan province, and was merged into the local aristocratic family from generation to generation, with talented people and celebrities coming forth in large numbers.

4. "Wei Shi Lu": "Gegujia, that is, Yun's family, changed to Yuanshi County." -the two foreign yuanshi county, later the number of reproduction is less, mainly in the north of China. From the above analysis, although there are many clues in Yuanshi County of China, it can still be classified into two main streams: one is after Zhou Wenwang of Han nationality, and the other is after Tuoba of Xianbei nationality, which was later assimilated by Han nationality. Their initial active areas were in Henan and Hebei in the Yellow River Basin. This can also be proved by guessing the birthplace of many people with Yuan's name in history. For example, Yuan Zhen, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Jie, a famous minister, were all from Henan.
