The Origin of Nangong Surname and Related Information

First of all, it originated from the surname Ji after the Confucius student Zhong in the late Spring and Autumn Period, belonging to Juyi. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor in the state of Lu named Meng, who was a descendant of Qing's father. He was a doctor during the reign of Lu Jichou (from 54 BC1year to 5 BC1year). He accompanied him to Chu, but he made a fool of himself at the welcoming ceremony because he didn't know manners. Therefore, Meng was very ashamed and blamed himself. In ancient times, "Kuo" and "Shi" were homophonic. According to historical records, Uncle Jing of Nangong "takes wisdom as his own guide, and the world is clear without waste, and the world is turbid without pollution." Confucius once praised him: "This man is really a gentleman, very noble!" So I married my niece to him. According to historical records, "Tao, the son of Meng Nuo, was sealed in Nangong (now Nangong, Hebei Province), and later generations took the fief as their surname, and later they were divided into Nan and Gong surnames." This "Tao" is the Nangong Shu Jing. People nearby often confuse Nangong Kuo in the early Western Zhou Dynasty with Nangong Shu Jing in the late Spring and Autumn Period, which are more than 600 years apart. Because both of them are called "Nangong Kuo" in history. The Nangong family of this branch has the same origin as Nangong family of Nangong kuo descendants in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and is different from Nangong family of Nangong Que descendants in the Spring and Autumn Period. The cemetery of Nangong Jingshu is 200 meters southeast of Qiannangong Village, Zhongdian Town, Zoucheng City, Shandong Province. The second origin comes from the surname Ji, from the residence of the doctor que of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and belongs to the name of Juyi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named Que in the State of Lu. Because he lives in Nangong, his address is "in the old city of Luoyang, 26 miles northeast of Luoyang County, Luozhou", which is between Baima Temple and shouyangshan in Luoyang City, Henan Province. The doctor's name is Que Nangong, and the history is called Nangong Que. Most of the descendants of Nangong Que take their ancestors' surname Nangong as their surname, which is called Nangong's. Later, many provincial bamboo slips were changed to single surnames Nan and Gong, which were passed down from generation to generation. This branch of Nangong family is different from Nangong family, the descendant of Nangong Kuo in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and has the same origin as Nangong Stone (also known as Zhong, Zhong Sun Zirong, Zhong Sun Jingshu, Nangong, Nangong Kuo and Nangong Tao), a disciple of Confucius in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The third source is Ji's surname, which comes from the four friends' Nanguanzi and belongs to the name of the ancestor. Nangong aristocratic family is the official position of Shang dynasty, which was established by the dynasty for various vassal States. It is a kind of management, repair and cleaning of important sacrificial articles in the palace. It belongs to the history of the palace, and its functions are similar to those of the current the State Council Administration of Organs and Affairs, so its descendants are called Nangong's. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang was surrounded by "Eight Scholars" and "Four Friends", and Nangong Kuo was one of them. The so-called "four friends of Wang Wen's Nanguanzi", according to the annotation of Shigu in Historical Records Zhou Benji, Nanguanzi refers to Nangongkuo. According to textual research, Nangong Kuo was a wise man in Zhou Wenwang's period and an important minister who assisted Zhou Wenwang and his son to prosper the Zhou Dynasty. He can mount a horse to fight, sit on a case and write a book, and he is all-rounder. He is by no means "Kong Wulie did it, winning less and losing more" as described in the Romance of the Gods. Nangong Kuo was sealed in Xing 'an (now Ankang, Gao Lan, Shaanxi) in southern Shaanxi by Xibo Hou Jichang at that time. There are overlapping mountains in its territory. Later generations called it "Nangong Mountain" because of its width, and now it is a national forest park, which combines beauty and beauty. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang surrounded the Nangong in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Plain and built Nangong City (now the Nangong in Xingtai, Hebei). Later, Nangong's family, headed by his son Nangong Xiu, moved to Liaodong with Kiko and became Nangong's family in North Korea and South Korea. Among the descendants of Nangong Kuo, Nangong was named Nangong. Later, many provincial bamboo slips were changed to single surnames such as Nan's and Gong's, which were passed down from generation to generation. Most people in Nangong respect Nangong as their ancestors. The fourth origin comes from the official position, from Nangong, an official of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and belongs to the official title. From the twenty-fifth year of King Wang to the fourth year of Zhou Jigai (520 BC-5 BC16 BC), the illegitimate son of King Jing of Zhou launched a rebellion in Chengzhou (the capital city, now in the area of Wangcheng Park in Luoyang, Henan Province) in order to usurp the throne, which is known as "the rebellion of Prince Zhou" in history. Finally, the rebellion was suppressed by Jin Qinggong's army. In this historical period, among the nobles who followed, there was a famous Nangong Tao, who was the palace history of the Zhou royal family and lived in Nangong. The Nangong of the Zhou royal family is the residence of the palace civil servants, and its family members take the "Nangong" as their surname and call it Nangong's. After the demise of Shang and Zhou Dynasties in Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang, its "Xia Jiuding" was moved from Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province) to Zhou Zong (now Xi, Shaanxi Province). After the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in 770 BC, Zhou Pingwang and Ji Yijiu moved to Chengzhou (now Luoyang, Henan). When the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was established, Jiuding moved to Chengzhou, and it has been under the management of Nangong. After the failure of the "Wang Zichao's chaos for the king", "Wang Zichao, Zhao family, Mao Bode, Yin Shigu and Nangong presented Zhou classics to Chu." These people hid in Nanyang, Henan, and later disappeared from the history books. And "Summer Jiuding" disappeared. There is no mention in the historical records of past dynasties whether there were sacrificial vessels when Nangong offered Zhou Jing to Chu, only Jing. However, in 59 years, King Hao of Zhou (King Xiang of Qin in 5 1 year, and won the millet in 256 BC) searched the land of the Zhou royal family for several months after King Xiang destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but he did not get the Jiuding cast by Dayu. Later, King Xiaowen of Qin, King Xiang of Qin won the race (won) and Ying Zheng of Qin continued their search, and they all disappeared. Therefore, some scholars speculate that Nangong Tao, who was in charge of the Zhou royal family's heavy weapons, took them to Chu when he fled. Some scholars think it's too heavy for people who fled in a hurry to move it, but it's buried. In short, there was no record at that time, and such a heavy weapon never fell behind again.
