The origin of Wan Yan's surname

Originated from the Jurchen nationality, from the Wanyan Department of Changbai Mountain and the Wanyan Department of Anju Lake. In ancient times, it was called Guduan, and Wang Guduan and Su Guduan were all different transliteration of the ancient Su-Shen language wangiya and suwangiyan. Living in the middle and upper reaches of Changbai Mountain to Songhua River, it belongs to clan tribal name or Juyi name. Jurchen, or Ligustrum lucidum, also known as "Jurchen clan", originated from "Shen" more than 3,000 years ago. From the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, it was called Lou, from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to Buji, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty to Xiongnu, from the Liao Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty to the Manchu Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen nationality was divided into three parts: Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and barbarian Jurchen. Later, it was divided into four parts by region: Jianzhou Jurchen, Changbai Jurchen, Donghai Jurchen and Hulun Jurchen. The history book "Golden Century" records: "Before Jin, Hong was born. Don't take chances. Don't be Jicoo. During the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, Buji had seven departments: Su Department, Bo Department, Che 'an Department, Fu Nie Department and Tundu Department. Housing department, Heishui department and Baishan department. Sui is called cymbals, and the seven parts are the same. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were black water cymbals, millet cymbals, and five cymbals were unknown. "

In the fifth year of Zhao Zhenghe, Hui Zong of the Song Dynasty (the year when Jin Taizu Yan Yan received the national yuan, AD 1 1 15), and Jin Taizu Yan Yan Yan Akuta (Yan Yan) unified the ministries of the Jurchen and established the famous state of Jin in history; In the forty-four years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (the first year of Nurhachi's mandate of heaven in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, AD 16 16), Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchen nationality, was called the "Khan Jianguo" in Hetuala City beside Erdaohezi, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province. He inherited the title of his ancestor Akuta, and went down in history with "Jin" as the title. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in Zhu Youjian, Jurchen (Manchu) entered the Central Plains in the Ming Dynasty (Aisingiorro Fu Lin, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty in the first year of Shunzhi, AD 1644), and established the largest and last feudal dynasty in China history-the Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Hong Yan family was still respected. For example, Wan Yan Lin Qing was the river chief in Daoguang period, and his sons Wan Yan Shi Chong and Wan Yan Chonghou were both generals in Shengjing. Wan Yan Chonghou also served as the trade minister of three ports, and was later dismissed because he signed the Rivakia Treaty with Russia, which humiliated the country. The Wan Yan family had a deep relationship with the Manchu royal family, which continued to strengthen after the demise of the Qing Dynasty. For example, Aisin Giorro Puyi's sixth sister married Hong Yan Xian Wu. Hong Yan Xian Wu, also known as Wang Ailan, likes poetry and painting. Later, he worked as a professional painter in Beijing Painting Academy, especially painting orchids. His younger brother, Hong Yan Zuoxian, is good at calligraphy and seal cutting. He is familiar with Beijing anecdotes and has the reputation of "the capital". He also wrote a book "An Examination of the Accessories of Kanggan Legacy".

Nowadays, most of our families have changed to a single China surname: Wang, Wang, Yan, Zhang, Wan, Yan, Yuan, Zhan, Zhao, Fu, Gu, Ying, Kui, Yong and Ai. In recent years, many descendants of Wan Yan have applied to change their surnames back to "Wan Yan", and their national attributes have also been changed back to "Manchu". In addition, among the Mongols and Xibe ethnic groups, there are also members of the Wan Yan ethnic group, who joined the Yuan Dynasty after the demise of the Jin State and are of the same origin as the Manchu Wan Yan ethnic group. It's from Li. Li Ting and Li Yaozhu were given the surname Hong Yan, namely Hong Yanting and Hong Yanyaozhu.
