Qianlong changed his daughter's surname to Han and married into Confucius. Why do people in China change their surnames?
"Jigong" Benchang You said interestingly: "Now people call me Jigong, respectfully call me a living Buddha, and seriously call me Benchang You. I said yes. But you wronged me. My name should be Ye. You can't find the name Ye in Hundred Family Names, which is my father's patent. My grandfather's son-in-law visited his house and gave birth to my father, but in order to keep Ye's bloodline, he still called him Ye. When my father named me Ye, the name Ye not only kept the original name, but also wandered around the house. I am prosperous, which means auspicious and prosperous, and the people are prosperous. " Two surnames, like Ye, are used together. In fact, they are ancient. In Zhejiang, there is a particularly biased surname-Lufei. The reason for this surname is this: no one in a local Lu family has ever been an official, and it has always been the wish of this family that someone can make a great career. Later, the children of this family were adopted to the Fei family. Soon after, one of the children really became a big official. In order to comfort their ancestors, they added Lu's surname to Fei's surname, thus changing it to. The emperor's family also changed their surnames. Emperor Qianlong had a daughter, but unfortunately the princess had a mole on her face. According to physiognomy, this mole is the main disaster, and the only way to break the disaster is to marry the princess to a nobler family than the princes and ministers. It's hard. Who is more important than princes and ministers? After thinking, I thought of Confucius. The duke of Confucian feast can't kneel before the emperor, he can go to the temple on an equal footing with the emperor. But the problem came again: at that time, Manchu and Han could not marry. Emperor Qianlong thought of a trick, put his daughter in foster care at the home of Yu Minzhong, an adult in the main hall, changed his surname, and married Kong Xianpei, the 72nd generation feast duke, in the name of a good family, known as Lady Jade. In addition, some accidental reasons will also make people change their surnames. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor was buried in Qiao Shan after his death, and some of his descendants stayed to guard the mausoleum. This is the so-called Qiao Shi. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, had a subordinate named Qiao Qin. One day, on a whim, Qiao Qin was asked to remove the wooden character of Qiao's surname and change it to "Joe". It is said that it means "lofty" from the word "Joe". Qiaoqin dared not disobey, so she had to be named Joe. The evolution of Chinese pronunciation and font is also the reason for the change of surname. Yan and Yan were originally two surnames, and now no one can tell them apart. The surname Yan is often written as "Yan" in order to save trouble. As a surname, "Fei" originally has two pronunciations, fèi and bü, and its source is naturally different. Everyone who reads fèi wins the last name. Boyi, who assisted Dayu in water control, was sealed in Fei (now southwest of Yutai County, Shandong Province), and Ruomu, the second son of Boyi, succeeded to the throne, and Ruomu's descendants took Fei as their surname. The cost of finishing school comes from the surname Ji. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Xigong gave Fei Yi (now Feixian North, Shandong Province) to him in order to reward Ji You who helped him to take power. Descendants of the city as a fee. From the above, it seems that many people with the same surname are not from the same blood, but it is also possible that people with different surnames are family. Maybe you think it is meaningless to discuss whether surnames come from the same ancestor, which is not correct. Now, some geneticists have used the change of surnames to reveal the genetic code of human beings, and some historians are studying the process of human migration. These studies will reveal many unsolved mysteries of mankind.
