Who knows the origin of the surname "Zhuan"?

According to legend, he is a descendant of Changyi, the son of the Yellow Emperor, who lives in Diqiu (now southeast of Puyang, Henan Province) and is named Levin. Zhuan Xu once ordered Nan Zhengguan to be responsible for offering sacrifices to the gods; Li was appointed as an official of the Fire Administration (one is Beizheng), in charge of civil affairs.

Zhuan Xu carried out another important religious reform. When they arrived in Zhuan Xu, the Jiuli people conquered by the Yellow Emperor still believed in witchcraft and worshipped ghosts and gods. Zhuan Xu banned witchcraft and forced them to obey the education of Huangdi clan, which promoted the integration between clans.

Later generations' comments on Zhuan Xu the Great are: quiet and resourceful, sparing the princes, nurturing the land, bearing time like the sky, ruling righteousness by ghosts and gods, ruling qi by enlightenment, and offering sacrifices with sincerity. Because he admired dark black before his death, later generations promoted him to Xuan Di. Of course, the reason why later generations regard him as one of the "Five Ancient Emperors" is that he also gave birth to Shun's grandfather Qiong Chan and Dayu's father Bogun, in addition to his above-mentioned achievements. At the same time, according to Records of the Historian, Emperor Zhuan Xu was the direct ancestor of Qin Shihuang. According to Historical Records Qin Benji V, Zhuan Xu's granddaughter has a successful career, and it costs a lot of money to marry a Shun Di woman. Dafei means "Ming", and Shun gave him a surname called Win. Qin won Boming at great cost. From this perspective, Zhuan Xu emperors are still Yao, Yu, Ji, Xia, Si, Ren, Xue, Yu, Chen, Li, Hu, Zeng, Shen, Jiang, Xin, Feng, Yan, Yuan, Qu, Bai, Zhong, Feng and Chu. Emperor Zhuan Xu passed the 20th century, about 350 years. Zhuan Xu was buried in "Guangyangli outside Puyang City" after his death, that is, in the northwest of Sanyanggang, Liangzhuang Township, 30 kilometers south of Neihuang County, Henan Province. The construction time of the mausoleum has not been verified, and the existing cemetery covers an area of about 50,000 square meters. The earliest existing building in front of the mausoleum began in the fourth year of Tang Taihe (830) and was rebuilt by generations. The mausoleum is 165m long and 66m wide, and the brick wall is inlaid with two landmarks: Zhuan Xu Mausoleum and Zhuan Xu Mausoleum. In the late Qing Dynasty, the old course of the Yellow River moved south, and the cemetery was gradually buried by sand dunes. In recent years, after clearing sand and silt, architectural sites such as Shinto, Shanmen and Daxiong Hall have been excavated, and more than 100 memorial tablets of emperors of past dynasties are being further repaired.

Zhuan Xu, surname Ji, number Levin. Legend has it that he lived to the age of 98 and reigned for 78 years. Buried in Guangyangli outside Dunqiu Town, Puyang City, Dong Jun (southwest of Puyang County, Henan Province). After death, she became a "fish girl" who was half human and half fish. When he was young, he visited his uncle's "Shao Hao State" and helped to govern the country when he was 10. He became a leader at the age of 20. At that time, the Jiuli people conquered by the Yellow Emperor still worshipped their witchcraft and ghosts. After Zhuan Xu captured the throne, he ordered the banning of witchcraft and asked Jiuli people to follow the example of Huangdi people. He also attaches importance to personnel management and strives to develop agriculture.

According to the above information, we can see that Zhu 'an's surname is very old. It's hard to say whether Zhuan Xu was in that era, but it was in the Tang Dynasty, which should be very credible. Then such an ancient surname, after thousands of years of reproduction, should not belong to a surname that few people know. But the reality is that there are only three places where I know surnames are concentrated, namely Huairen in Shanxi, Gaocheng in Hebei and several villages in Liaocheng in Shandong. Moreover, the surnames of bricks in Hebei and Shandong are all said to have moved from Shanxi, and the history is not very long. So I think we can draw the conclusion that Zhuan surname is very old, but it existed before the Tang Dynasty, but now it is so few, and it seems that Zhuan surname originated in Shanxi, which is inconsistent with the historical saying that Zhuan Xu originated in Henan, at least in the Central Plains. Something must have happened. What is that?

Let's not talk about this. As a Chinese character, seal script does not have much practical significance, and it is rarely used now, mainly for surnames and first names. Actually, Zhuan is not only a surname, but also many names. Only the emperor used this as his name, and I found three. Let's see who they are.

Chen Xuandi and Chen Chuan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties

Zhao Zhuan, the God of Northern Song Dynasty

Xixia god lives in Li Zunxu.

As for the history and culture of China, we have a basic common sense, that is, taboo, that is, the emperor's first name or surname cannot be said by others, let alone used. As it happens, emperors in the Three Dynasties liked to use Zhuan surnames, especially Zhao Zhuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, so it is likely that there were many Zhuan surnames in Henan and the Central Plains, but they had to do so because they were afraid of emperors. The emperor of Xixia named Li Zunxu changed his original surname overnight as soon as he came to power, and probably never changed it back. As for what he changed, I don't know, but I think the item may be bigger (taboo law 1). 2 Blank morphology does not fill in the words to be avoided. 3 lack of brushwork When you encounter a word you want to avoid, write one less stroke on the word. ) But coincidentally, at that time, all sixteen states belonged to Liao, so there was no such problem. They kept their surnames, and so did their son, who was spoiled. Now Huairen is one of the sixteen states. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were probably many surnames, but after these emperors, only Huairen in Shanxi took seal as the surname.

So my point is that China's current surname originated in Huairen, Shanxi (the accuracy rate is above 95%), or, more accurately, in Yuejin Village, Huairen, Shanxi, where my grandfather is located. Now, according to their statements and genealogy, Xu from Shanxi, Hebei Province, probably moved here in the Ming Dynasty. Shandong said it was a big pagoda tree in Shanxi. In fact, it is a symbol and image. At that time, Shanxi immigrants actually spread all over Shanxi, and Datong was the western capital in Liao and Jin Dynasties. Therefore, the population around it (Huairen is close to the south of Datong) should be relatively dense in the early years of the Republic of China, and there are records in history that it had immigrants in Datong in the early years of the Republic of China, so the situation should be from Huairen to Gaocheng, Hebei and Liaocheng, Shandong in the early Ming Dynasty.

In this way, we come to the conclusion that it is very old to transfer this surname. Before the Tang Dynasty and Zhao Zhuan, Song Shenzong, there were probably many Zhuan surnames. There are many Zhuan surnames in the Central Plains, but after arriving in Zhao Zhuan, (it is estimated that there are not many Zhuan surnames in Xixia, which has been ignored for the time being), because it is taboo, except for the part of the Central Plains that belongs to the Liao State. Now Taiyuan, Shanxi, Datong, including Inner Mongolia, all realize this. The rest of China should be named after Huairen in Shanxi, Gaocheng in Hebei and Liaocheng in Shandong. It is true that they were a family 500 years ago, but they all came from Huairen, Shanxi, and they were a family 700 years ago.
