Where is Zhao from?

There are three main sources: ① It comes from the won surname, and Zhou Muwang gave Zhao Cheng because the city is his surname. 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). 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. 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)". 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. 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. The State of Zhao, established after the "Three Tribes Divided into Jin", 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. (2) It was founded twice, and the emperor gave it a surname. 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. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Jipeng and Li, the leaders of the Tangut Tuoba Department, surrendered one after another, 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.

Zhao's surname is multiplied.

Zhao is not only a big surname, but also a high surname. People with outstanding achievements in history are blessed by Zhao's surname, and some pretend to be Zhao's surname. For example, in the Han Dynasty, there was a Hun named Anji, and his surname was Zhao. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Miao people named Guo Zhen, a minister of the Ministry of Industry, also known as Zhao. During the Xixia period, Yuan Hao, the Tangut Qiang monarch, was named Zhao. However, the development of Zhao's descendants mentioned above has little influence on the whole Zhao family, far less complicated than the sources of other big surnames, and the Zhao family has also enriched some other surnames. Historically, the descendants of Zhao were either blocked or survived due to disasters, and successively changed their surnames to Huang, Ma, Qin, Yuan and Ping. And their descendants respectively developed from Zhao. Most people named Ma recorded in the history books are descendants of Zhao She, General Zhao and Ma Fujun. Zhao She is the ancestor of Ma in China, and Ma Yuan is the descendant of Zhao She. An important branch of Shao family of Bai nationality also evolved from Zhao family. There is a Zhaojiabao in Zhangpu, Fujian. All the people in the fort are descendants of the royal families of Zhao and Song, but their surname is Huang, which is the result of their ancestors changing their surname to Zhao in order to avoid the war. According to historical records, Huang's surname is the same as Zhao's and is regarded as a distant ancestor. Throughout the development history of Zhao surname, there are more than a dozen surnames derived from Zhao surname, some of which have developed into the most popular surnames in China. If all these people are added up, there are about 100 million descendants of Zhao. In the world, there are also countries such as South Korea, North Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc. Some of them are still the most popular, and there are a large number of descendants of Zhao in other countries. All Zhao surnames together are definitely the biggest surnames in the world. This is no exaggeration. Since its birth, Zhao's surname has long been regarded as sacred by the world. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhao was a royal family. Song dynasty, especially the national surname; In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Wang, Li Zhao and Liu Naihan were the five major surnames. Today, Zhao is still one of the few extra-large surnames in China. It has developed into a multi-ethnic integration with a population all over the world. It can be described as bustling and flourishing, and it is also a branch of Chaoshan Zhao in eastern Guangdong and a direct descendant. Zhao Kuangyin had five brothers, young and old, who died young. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, its lineage was mainly composed of,,, and. As many as120,000 people received the genealogy table of the Song Dynasty. Among them, from the tenth generation to the twelfth generation, three generations compete for half of the bloodline table, which shows that its reproduction speed is fast. It is no wonder that after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it was ordered to kill all Zhao people in the world. Later, the emperor withdrew the imperial edict for fear of causing greater resistance. The characteristics of Zhao Kuangyin School are "morality, virtue, obedience, world, present, devotion, learning, hope, specialization, Meng and Yu". During the Xichun period of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D.1174-1189), Zhao Kuangyin's seventh generation Sun Zhaoboquan was ordered by the imperial clan to lead his eight sons to the DPRK and live in the envoy square in the city. In the Yuan Dynasty, he moved to the countryside and started a business in Nanxi, Longdu, Raoping. The descendants of Zhao in this school are lucky. It seems that they didn't suffer much after living in the countryside, probably because Nanxi was relatively remote at that time, so Zhao, who lived in it, developed rapidly. After the Qing Dynasty, some people moved to Donglong in Chenghai or moved to other cities.
