Who knows the historical origin and development of Zhao?

According to the Records of Surname Compilation, the origin of Zhao's surname is as follows: "After Zhuan Xu Diboyi got his surname, he benefited from the thirteenth generation to Zaofu, and was named Zhao Cheng because he thought it was his surname."

It can be seen that the person who used Zhao as his surname was Zhao Fu, the son of Emperor Zhuan Xu. He is good at driving. When he was in Zhou Muwang, he got the place of Zhao Cheng as a fief, and took the name of the fief as his surname, which was handed down from generation to generation. At that time, Zhao Cheng's present position was roughly in the southwest of Zhaocheng County. Later, this family once propagated to Tianshui (now Gansu), Nanyang (now Henan), Jincheng (now Gansu), Xiapi (now Jiangsu) and Yingchuan (now Henan).

This is the origin of the surname Zhao. And this family stood out from the beginning. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao's descendants were doctors of the State of Jin from generation to generation and held the power.

By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, during the period of King Wei Lie of Zhou Dynasty, the Zhao family was stronger, and further divided into Jin State with the Han and Wei families who were also doctors, and became princes respectively. This is the so-called "three ethnic groups divided into Jin" in history.

Later, Zhao's national strength became stronger and stronger, becoming one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. The capital is located in Jinyang, which is now the northern part of Taiyuan County, Shanxi Province. It can be seen that people surnamed Zhao were originally from Shanxi, and then gradually moved to other places. "Five hundred years ago, it was a family." For someone surnamed Zhao, if you go back seriously like this, it will be more than 500 years.

People surnamed Zhao are really famous in history. The most famous one in the early period was Zhao Sheng in Ping Yuanjun during the Warring States Period.

For another example, in the Han Dynasty, the system of reclaiming farmland was established, and the camp was Pinghou Zhao Chongguo. Zhao De, the "Mr. Tianshui" hired by Han Yu as a scholar in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe, not to mention. There is also a famous Song Dynasty star Zhao Pu who ruled the world with half of The Analects; And Zhao Meng, a famous painter and calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty? Wait, they are all great historical figures who can make Zhao descendants proud.

When you open "Hundred Family Names", the first thing you see is "Thousands of Sun Zhao Li". Why did Zhao rank first among more than 500 surnames of hundreds of families and become the first surname of hundreds of families? It turns out that Hundred Family Names was compiled in the early years of the Song Dynasty, which was established by Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin. Since "a leading place is not a king", it is natural to count Zhao as the first of hundreds of surnames.

Thus, Zhao, as the surname of the emperor, has a very prominent position in the history of China. However, the ending of the Zhao family seems to be too tragic. First, Evonne, Song Huizong and Zhao Huan, Song Qinzong were occupied by the Jin people, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Later, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Mongolia, and the whole Zhao and Song Dynasties completely collapsed.

A, Zhou Muwang gave Zhao Cheng, because the city is a surname.

Zhao is a small surname in China, ranking 1 10 among hundreds of surnames. According to historical records, Zhao's kindred is Jintian, one of the five ancient emperors. It is said that Shao Hao's daughter Nuxiu gave birth to Hao Tao because she swallowed the egg of a mysterious bird. Hao Tao's14th grandson, Zhao Fu, lived in the Zhou Dynasty. Because he is good at training horses and driving, he is deeply loved by Zhou Muwang. Later, because he rushed back to Beijing and quelled the rebellion in time, Zhou Muwang gave Zhao Cheng (now Hong Tong, Shaanxi Province) to Zhao Fu as a fief, and Zhao Fu's descendants took the fief Zhao Cheng as their surname, forming Zhao's surname. Thus, the earliest surname of the Chinese nation, Zhao, was born.

In addition, in the history of the development of Zhao's surname, many people changed their surnames because of the emperor's giving or changing their surnames, or because of avoiding disasters, in-laws, adoption, passing and then changing their surnames.

Second, the country was founded twice, and celebrities came forth in large numbers.

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, Sun Shudai, the seventh son of Zhao Fu, led some clans to move to the State of Jin because of exclusion, but Zhao, who had not moved to the State of Jin, still lived in Zhao Cheng. From then on, Zhao not only took root in the state of Jin, but also gradually flourished. The State of Zhao, established after the Three Jin Dynasties, became one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States". After Zhao was destroyed by Qin, two branches of Zhao's surname appeared-Tianshui Zhao and Zhuojun Zhao. The last king of Zhao was moved to Xirong by Qin Shihuang, and part of Zhao moved to Gansu and lived in Tianshui, forming the Zhao family in Tianshui. Zhao Qian, the son of Zhao Haoqi Daoxiang, was exiled to Fangling (now Fangxian County, Hubei Province), and his descendants moved from Fangling to Chiwu in Zhuo Jun County (now Boye County, Hebei Province) in the Han Dynasty, forming another school of Zhao's surname-Zhao in Zhuo Jun County. Since then, Zhao continued to expand outward, even to the northern and central parts of Vietnam today.

In the Song Dynasty, with the establishment of the Zhao Dynasty, Zhao's position became more prominent and his scope of activities was further expanded. In the Song Dynasty, there were 18 emperors surnamed Zhao, who lived for more than 300 years.

Zhao is not only an emperor, but also a wise man and celebrity. It's a famous and talented surname. Emperors include Zhao Wuling, Wang Yong, Nanyue Tuo, Evonne and Song Gaozong Zhao Gou. Famous ministers include Zhao Sheng of Ping Yuanjun and Zhao Pu, the prime minister of Song Dynasty. Among the generals was Zhao She, a famous Warring States soldier. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Yun was praised by his ancestors as "all courageous". Scholars include Zhao Chang, Zhao Meng, Zhao Yuan and other famous painters and painters. In addition, there are some special characters in Zhao's surname, such as "an armchair strategist", Zhao Kuo who harmed Zhao, Zhao Gao, the eunuch who disturbed Zhao, and Zhao, the charming queen of Han Palace. [Edit this paragraph] There are three main origins of Zhao:

(1) from the surname won (said from Yan surname. According to: China won by luck in ancient times), which was formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. His distant ancestor is Boyi, and his surname is Zaofu. Boyi, the grandson of Emperor Zhuan Xu, took Shun as his surname. Zhao Fu, the grandson of Boyi IX, is a famous carriage owner in Zhou Muwang. Because of his work, he was named Zhao Cheng, and the people in Zaofu were called Zhao. Later, the State of Zhao was established in the early years of the Warring States, and was destroyed by the State of Qin in 222 BC. Its royal family and ordinary people all take the country name as their surname and call it Zhao. Zhao is one of the six surnames in China (), and there is a saying that "Li Zhao is everywhere (Liu)". Looking out at Tianshui County, Nanyang County, Jinyu County and Xiayi County.

(2) the emperor gave the surname. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Jipeng and Li, the leaders of the Tangut Tuoba Department, surrendered successively, and the court gave them the names Zhao Baozhong and Zhao Baoji respectively; Song Shenzong named Mu Rong Zhao Sizhong; Song Zhezong named Zhao Huaide Long Zanqing Tang Longmao of Hehuang Qiang nationality; His younger brother, Bang Cui, was named Zhao Huaiyi; Ma Su, a native of Guangluqing in Liao Dynasty, was named Zhao for his meritorious service in Song Dynasty. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuwen Xu Zhong, a Xianbei ethnic group, tried to rescue Song Huizong and Song Qinzong who were captured by the Jin Dynasty. Being outnumbered, he was killed, and the Southern Song Dynasty court gave him the surname Zhao. In addition, since the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Jews entered China, especially in the Song Dynasty. The surname of Jewish immigrants was given by the emperor. According to the inscription in the second year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1489), Jews at that time had seventeen surnames, including Li, An, Ai, Gao, Mu, Zhao and Jin. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a Jewish doctor who joined China was sincere. Zhao Zhuocheng, governor of Zhangnan Road, Fujian Province, was also a Jew during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, showed leniency to the surrendered Mongolian aristocrats and gave them Chinese names to show his praise. There was a Mongolian nobleman named Qibatu, who was named Zhao Zhongmei, and their descendants were also surnamed Zhao. In ancient times, one person took the surname of the country and was proud of supporting his family. The people changed their surnames to the national surnames, which greatly expanded the population of Zhao.

③ Ethnic minorities changed their surnames to Zhao. With the development of history, Zhao has also appeared among Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Buyi, Miao, Tibetan, Achang, Tujia, Korean, Yao, Zhuang, Hani, De 'ang, Wa, Jingpo, Oroqen, Xibe, Yi, Bai and Dai. Zhao's original surname was Han. There is also the Zhao surname of the ancient Xiongnu, the Baiman tribe in Yunnan in the Tang Dynasty, and the Pangkeman in the Tang Dynasty. Such as the Xiongnu Zhao Anji in the Western Han Dynasty and the Vietnamese Zhao Guang; Zhao Shanzheng, a Bai nationality in the Five Dynasties; Mongolian Zhao and Tibetan Zhao Agchang in Yuan Dynasty; Zhao Ruifeng of Yao nationality in Southern Song Dynasty; Zhao Keguang, Zhao, Zhao, etc. After the Revolution of 1911, Manchu Aixin Jueluoshi, Xitala, Ayan Jueluoshi, Juercha, Ilgen Jueluoshi, Ata Jueluoshi, Ozhuo and Mongolians all changed their surnames to Zhao. In addition, many people in history changed their surnames to Zhao for reasons such as avoiding disasters, in-laws, adoption and adoption.
