The Origin, History and Present Situation of Wangxing in Jiangxi Province

No matter what kind of "Wang", nine times out of ten is the main body of the Wang family-"Ji surnamed Wang".

Wang Xing developed and spread mainly in the north in the early days, and gradually moved to the southern provinces in the late Western Jin Dynasty. As early as 6 18, Wang entered Nanchang, Xinjian, Fengcheng, Yichun, Ruichang, Duchang and Shangrao in Jiangxi.

1368 After the Ming Dynasty, another Wang family entered 20 counties and cities such as Gao 'an, Pingxiang, Wanzai, Jiujiang, Guixi, Hengfeng, Ningdu and Xunwu. According to incomplete statistics in Jiangxi Tongzhi Draft, by the end of Qing Dynasty, Wang Xing clan had moved to more than 66 counties and cities in Jiangxi.

However, the research of later generations shows that there are still many Wangs in Wuyuan, Dexing and other counties and cities today. It can be said that the population of Wang Xing is all in Jiangxi. From the bloodline point of view, these Wang Xing are mainly composed of the descendants of the above four tribes, among which the descendants of Taiyuan Wang and Langya Wang are the most.

Extended data:

There are many sources of Wangxing in Jiangxi, but in general, there are four tributaries: Taiyuan Wang, Langya Wang, Sanhuai Wang and Kaimin Wang.

The grandfathers of "King Taiyuan" and "King Langya" were both grandfathers, but it was not until Wang left this generation that they began to separate. Wang Yuan, the eldest son, moved to Langya, Shandong Province and became the ancestor of "King Langya", while Wang Wei, the second son, still lived in Taiyuan, so he became the ancestor of "King Taiyuan".

There is no unified statement about the spread and distribution of "Langya King" in Jiangxi. According to Wang Lingce, president of the Wang Society, villagers in Yongxiu County once dug up his genealogy and recorded it as a branch of Wang Langya, which has been circulated for more than 400 years. As for the King of Taiyuan, it began in the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and its distribution in Jiangxi was basically quite clear.

Although "Sanhuaitang" is a household name of Wang Xing, there are different opinions about the origin of "Sanhuaitang". According to records, at the end of the Five Dynasties, Wang You, a native of Shen County, Daming Prefecture, planted three locust trees in his yard, saying that I have three fairs in the afterlife.
