What does Ayako mean?

Ayakoji is the surname of a descendant of Genji, a nobleman. Descendants of this surname are generally very influential in Japan.

In the ancient Japanese Edogawa era, only princes and nobles were qualified to have surnames, while ordinary people could only have first names but not surnames. So the special surnames of Japanese nobles were born, and there were more than ten. Yuan, Ping, Orange and Toyotomi are the oldest five big noble surnames in Japan. Genji is the ancestor of Ling Lu.

Genji was the first surname given to his children by Emperor Emei, so it was originally called Genji. But also divided into more than 20 branches, such as Haruki Murakami and Genji Awakening.

Due to the large number of descendants of the emperor, the court that was about to go bankrupt at that time was unable to support his children with a total of more than 50 people, so 32 of his sons were removed from the royal family and included in the courtiers.

The Tianluoyaer family has been called the noblest descendant of Tiansun since ancient times (in fact, it is the most powerful royal family in the Yamato imperial regime), so the royal family has no surname to avoid blasphemy.

But after he fell into a vassal, he had to have a surname to distinguish the sons of these emperors. Emperor Emei, who is proficient in China's classics, changed the surname of the Han nationality from the extension of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Yuan, and gave it to Yuan He, a balding Xianbei nobleman who broke the Qiang Dynasty, and gave it to these sons who were kicked out of the royal family by him.

Later generations of emperors also had many children and grandchildren, and their financial income was entirely supplied by the shogunate ruled by the Wu family; Even when there is no money and nothing to eat, too many children are listed in the official book with the surname "source".

However, the most prominent pillar in history is Genji Qinghe. Genji generally refers to Genji Qinghe.

Extended data:

Among the fifteen Genji, Qinghe Genji has the most branches, and its descendants have the greatest influence. And the lineal of Genji Qinghe-Jingji's future Roy Jingji is the most prominent.

The ninth generation after Yuan Jingji was the Yuan Dynasty that overthrew the old enemy Yi Shi Ping and established the first military regime-Kamakura shogunate. In the future, the Ashikaga family, which established the second Muromachi shogunate, also came from this Qinghe Genji, the Jiafei Takeda family in Takeda Shingen and the famous Jiafei Tiger in the Warring States Period.

Therefore, Genji Qinghe and another military nobleman, Huan Wushiping, are called the two great ancestors of the Japanese samurai family.
