Click to see how this surname came from.

The Wang family originated from the Wang Mang family in Shang Dynasty. Wang Mang's family, also known as Wang Wangshi, was changed by Fang Feng, one of the governors of Xia Dynasty. Yu, the monarch of Xia Dynasty, called a group of immortals to Huiji Mountain, and Fang Feng was beheaded by Yu for being late. In Shang Dynasty, Fang Feng's descendants changed the word Wang. Wang's descendants are descendants of the Shang Dynasty kings, and their ancestors were princes of the Xia Dynasty, so the origin of Wang's family can be described as long-standing and abnormal, with a history of about 4,000 years. At the same time, the king must be the queen of princes and ministers.

During the Shang, Zhou and Spring and Autumn Periods, another descendant of Wang appeared. Uncle Zhi, the son of King Lu, was named Wang Yi, and later generations took Yi as their surname and Wang as their surname. This Wang family, from the surname Ji, is a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor.

There is another one that Weng distinguishes. According to historical records, there is Weng Gan in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and there are six sons, namely Hong, Jiang, Weng, Fang, Gong and Wang, all of whom are surnamed Wang. These six brothers are listed as Jinshi, and their status is very noble. Historically, they have the reputation of "six squares".

After more than two thousand years of development, the Wang clan has spread all over the country with a large population. Researchers Du Ruofu and Yuan Yida from the Institute of Genetics, China Academy of Sciences made statistics based on the random sampling data of the national population of 0.5Z in 1982 provided by the National Bureau of Statistics, and the book Population Surnames Distribution in Taiwan Province Province published in 1970 in Taiwan Province Province.

Wang introduced

First, from Wang Manshi.

In Shang Dynasty, there was a kingdom of Wang Mang, and the monarch was Fang Fengshi, Qi Shi and Yu Shan. The book Dialectics of Surnames in Ancient and Modern Times says that wang xing is a descendant of Wang Mang's family since ancient times, and Tongzhi Genealogy also says: "There was Wang Mang (also called Wang Wang) in Shang Dynasty, and its people took the country as their surname." According to legend, Wang Mang is a country of giants. Fang Feng is three feet tall. At that time, Dayu summoned the princes of the world in Huiji, and Fang Feng was late and was executed by Dayu. China people later moved to the mountainous area of Huzhou, called Wang Mang. During the Warring States period, Chu State was destroyed and Wang Mang's family was also breached. After fleeing to Shexian county in southern Anhui, he changed his surname to Wang, that is, Wang of Anhui.

Second, from Ji's surname.

It's the son of Duke Zhou. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lv Chenggong's illegitimate child was fed to the king (in present-day Shandong Province), and later generations took Yi as their surname, that is, the king of Shandong. Zhang Shu, a Qing Dynasty man, said in "The Origin of Surnames": "The Wangs went out to Duke Lu first, and took their food because they thought they were the Wangs." Lu was the same surname of the Zhou Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the ancestor of the Zhou surname was Hou Ji. Legend has it that he stepped in the footsteps of a giant, surnamed Ji. After commercial negotiations, Zhou Wuwang established the Western Zhou Dynasty. In order to rule this vast territory of Xinjiang, it is necessary to establish a vassal state to support the royal family, so the enfeoffment system was adopted. King Wu, Duke Zhou and King Cheng successively enfeoffed 7 1 vassal states, including 15 brothers with the same surname 14. The descendants of the Zhou royal family were generally enfeoffed and became princes. Bo Qin, the eldest son of Duke Zhou, was made Duke of Lu, with Qufu (now southwest Shandong) as its capital, the 2nd1Ren Guojun of the State of Lu as Chenggong, and the fief of the son of Chenggong (formerly known as Yu Ji) was in Wang, and later generations took the city name "Wang" as their surname. After wang xing followed Lv Chenggong, Wang Wan, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, recorded his magical experience in Wen Chao, Volume I, A Study on the Origin of wang xing: "I, wang xing, should be correct to take the surname of Ji. According to "Old Spectrum", Lv Chenggong's illegitimate child was born with a penny in his hand, so he was named Wang. Later generations followed suit. ..... My surname is Wang, so I should take it from food. Gai began with the land as his surname, and later took the land as his surname. " That is to say, when Lv Chenggong's illegitimate child was born, the words "water" and "king" were written on his left hand and right hand respectively, so he was named Wang, and later generations took Wang as his surname and stone as his surname. Anhui's Records of Qimen County Clan Textual Research is even more legendary: "wang xing started in Yingchuan Hou, and her surname is Wang, the second son of Lv Chenggong's black arm. The first mother's wife, Yu, sleepwalked in (now Wenshang County, Shandong Province, which belonged to Zhongdu Town, Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period). She looked at the rainbow and knew it was auspicious. She got pregnant in May and gave birth to a child. Shake hands in March, there is a waterline on the left (hand) and a king line on the right (hand), which forms a king character. Therefore, she named it Doctor Lu Shang Manor and Yingchuan.

Third, the minority wang xing

Many jurchen surnames are recorded in Liao history, Jin history, Yuan history and Li dynasty records, most of which are disyllabic surnames. After Jurchen entered the Central Plains, influenced by the Han culture, she began to change her surname to Han, among which Gu Rishen and Wang were changed to Han wang xing. "Continued Tongzhi Genealogy" contains: Weng Guan in Yuan Dynasty, that is, Wang Gu, also known as Huangyan, took Wang as his surname. Wang Shixian's family was the surname of Wanggu tribe in Yuan Dynasty.

Wang, Manchu wang xing, was born in Shenyang in Qing Dynasty. According to Records of Manchu Surnames, some people in Manchu Eight Banners changed their surnames to Wang in Qing Dynasty. Today, there is a Manchu surnamed Wang in Longhua County, Hebei Province.

Wang, a Tu nationality, was surnamed Ming Hongwu for four years (137 1). Nanmuge led the troops into the Ming Dynasty and was appointed as the commander-in-chief for his meritorious service. Brother Nanmu is called Wang Jie Jia, with Wang Jiejia's initials as his surname, and he is called King Toast. So his descendants and his people took Wang as their surname.

The eunuch of the ancient Ming Dynasty, surnamed Wang, was a Yao.

In addition, Tujia, Hui, Xibo, Dongxiang and other ethnic minorities also have wang xing.

Fourth, Weng changed his surname.

Changing the surname from chaos to Weng is another source of wang xing in this historical period. Weng surname is also a branch of Ji surname. According to the records of Yuanhe surname code, in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the descendants of the branch were sealed in Wengshan (now in the east of Dinghai County, Zhejiang Province, and in the east of wengyuan county, Guangdong Province), and later took the city name "Weng" as their surname. During the period, the Weng family had a He Gong who entered from the Central Plains and lived in Puyang Happiness Lane (now Putian North Gaozhuzhuang), which was the ancestor. Introduced to the fifth world, gave birth to Weng Gan. At the end of the Five Dynasties, in the Tianfu period of Jin Dynasty (936), Weng became an official, married Chen and gave birth to six sons. The eldest son is thick, and the word "bo" starts. He was a scholar in the first year of Stegosaurus in Song Taizu, and Yuan Wailang was the official of Libu. The second son, Gong Chu, the word Bo Qian, was a scholar in the second year of Yongxi, Song Taizong, and the official worshipped the state's Facao; Sanzi is changeable, and the word is "Jane".

Song Taizu Kaibao has been in the same column as the four brothers for six years, and the official is in Dali, supervising the empire; Six sons retire, and the word "Bo Rong". In the second year, Song Yongxi was listed as a scholar with his second brother, and the official worshipped the court and scattered the lang, and the few States passed the sentence.
