The origin of Liu's surname? Who are the ancestors?

Legends and historical facts of the origin of Liu's surname

In the Han Dynasty, it was the first surname in the country, and it was known as "Zhang Wang Li Zhao is everywhere Liu"; It is one of the surnames that entered the tide earlier.

Soon on the Chaoshan land, it became a big family; Liu Ying is the ancestor of entering the tide, and there are many celebrities in history.

Liu's surname originated from, the original surname was, and he was a descendant of Emperor Yao. The surname was enfeoffed in Liu Guo (now Tangxian County, Hebei Province), and the surname was still Qi. Now there is a man named Liu Lei, who is the eighteenth generation descendant of Liu and the first celebrity in Liu's history. It was also regarded as the ancestor of Liu by Liu's descendants. It is said that Liu has a vision, the palm prints on his palm are different, and there are lifelike dragon prints. According to legend, Liu Lei learned to train dragons at an early age, and he was able to play and ride dragons when he was ten years old. At this time, the Xia Emperor Kong Jia (said to be the king of Liu Guo) just got four dragons, but he didn't know how to feed them, so he recruited the talent list. When Liu Lei heard the news, he was called to expose the list and was named "Yu Longshi". Liu Lei works hard to raise dragons, but his skills are not good. It didn't take long to raise a female dragon to death. Frightened, he made the dead dragon into broth and presented it as game to Xia Di Kong Jia. Kong Jia was very happy and gave Liu a lot of property. Soon, Kong Jia asked Liu Lei to play with dragons for fun. Liu Lei used to play with dragons, and always let four dragons perform at the same time. Now only two dragons play at a time, leaving one dragon to exchange in turn. I can't believe I mixed up the number, but in the end, it was filled. Kong Jia became suspicious and asked four dragons to dance at the same time. With a genial smile, Liu Lei fled to the border of Lushan County with his family.

Soon, Kong Jia was greedy for pleasure. During the war, Kong Jia was destroyed by other countries and the people fled everywhere. Liu Lei takes care of Liu people who lost their homes at the border. The people who are taken care of miss the old country and take the country as their surname. From then on, China had the surname Liu. Also, due to Liu Lei's warm reception and placement, Liu Lei was named Liu's ancestor. Therefore, future generations say that we Chinese nation are descendants of the dragon; Liu is a descendant of the dragon charmer.

Liu, from the original Qi surname, can be traced back to Liu Lei as a distant ancestor. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the descendants of the Jin Dynasty Society multiplied into a huge family in the Han Dynasty and began to spread to Henan, Jiangsu and other places. The descendants of the society are Bo, Zhong, Bang and Jiao. Among them, Liu Bang was the founder of the Western Han Dynasty and the famous Emperor Gaozu. In the second year of Tang Gaozong's rule, there were "barbaric riots" in Quanzhou, Fujian and Chaozhou, Guangdong. Zheng Chen of Gushi, Henan Province, led the government forces to quell this "chaos". Among the 58 military schools he led, there was a man named Liu Ju, a captain of government soldiers.

On the historical stage, Liu, who has lived in the royal family for a long time, is numerous. As early as the Han dynasty, Liu was the first surname in the country, and there was a song saying: Li is everywhere. At that time, the Han royal family had formed a big family in Pengcheng County (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province). Pengcheng County has always been regarded as an authentic county named Liu, which originated from the royal family in the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang's younger brother Jiao Liu was made King of Chu in the early Han Dynasty. His descendants were the most prominent in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were named princes all over the south of the Yangtze River, which had a great influence. So Liu in the south is called "Pengcheng's".

Liu, who has entered the tide, has no pedigree to test. However, Liu was one of the surnames who moved to Chaozhou earlier, and soon became a big family in Chaoshan, with many historical celebrities. They moved to Fujian in the late Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao was sentenced to chaos, and Liu Tianxi, a scholar of Hanlin, abandoned his official position and took refuge in Shibi Cave, Ninghua County, Tingzhou, Fujian. Later generations took Liu Xiang as the ancestor of Ninghua and became Tingmin's famous family. Liu Xiang's eldest brother Liu Qi and his third brother are Liu's 12 1 generation. Liu Qi has a son named Song who lives in Dali Temple. At the beginning of the Five Dynasties, Gu Bing, a navy division of the Qing army, was divided into Guangdong and Guangxi, but before long, Juetu was buried in Jindongshan, a river in Chao 'an. His son Liu Ying, "started a business in Taokeng, Jidong, and got married in Chaoshan." (See Hundreds of Surnames in Chenghai) Liu Ying is not only the ancestor of Liu in Chaozhou, but also the pioneer of Liu's entry into the tide.

"Tracing back to the source, there is no doubt that the people surnamed Liu who now live in Fujian and Chaozhou are all after Liu Xiang and Liu Qi, and they are also the Zhongshan Wang Liu Jingsheng." (See above information)

The Taokeng in Jindong, Liuyinggou Road has been built for more than 1000 years. Children and grandchildren are all over Chaoshan. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Mr. Liu Japan, Mr. Yin Dafu Lu and Liu Jing, the founder, are all Liu's 138 and 139 generations. The context is clear, and the Liu family tree compiled by the Liu clan association in Thailand has been compiled for more than 200 generations.
