Descendants of the Yellow Emperor

The common ancestor of our Chinese nation, except Yan Di, is the Yellow Emperor. Compared with the surnames of the descendants of Emperor Yan, it is said that the surnames of the descendants of Yellow Emperor are more, accounting for more than 90% of the total surnames. According to the research of some experts, this is directly related to the reproduction of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

It can be seen that in the number of their direct descendants, Huangdi is many times more than Yandi. Second, the legendary heroes, such as Zhuan Xu, Yao, Shun and Yu, and the pioneers in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, all belong to the Yellow Emperor clan and are descendants of the Chinese people, but they are not clans. Therefore, it is superior to Emperor Yan in number. In addition, from their own situation, it is said that there is only one surname "Jiang", while the Yellow Emperor has three surnames. Besides the surname Ji mentioned above, there are also two surnames, Gongsun and Xiong. It is under the joint influence of these various reasons. The role of the Yellow Emperor far exceeds that of Yan Di, so it is not surprising that he is regarded as the ancestor of blood by more people.

In the development of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, according to the statistics in Shiben, from the legendary era to the pre-Qin period, there were 10 1 countries claiming to be his descendants.

According to legend, when King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty was a descendant of Zhuan Xu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, there was a man named Zhao Fu who was a coachman and could ride a swift horse. Zhou Muwang had a tryst with the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi, and Xu Yanwang, the Queen Mother of the East, took the opportunity to make trouble. Zhou Muwang hurried back after hearing this, and walked thousands of miles a day in his carriage. The rebellion was suppressed in time. Later, he was thought to be a diligent person, so he was enfeoffed in Zhao Cheng, and his descendants later took the surname Zhao. So people surnamed Zhao are also descendants of the Chinese people.

Among the surnames related to the Yellow Emperor, a surname of Huang should also be mentioned. In fact, the surname Huang is also directly related to the Yellow Emperor.

She often traveled by boat during the day and did textile at night. On a trip, I met the handsome young Yellow Emperor. They fell in love and were married for a hundred years. A year later, Huang's distant ancestor was born.

After the flood was cured, Shun Di rewarded him for his meritorious service, married his daughter and changed his surname to win. By the Warring States period. His descendants Zhao She was enfeoffed as Ma Fujun, and Zhao She's descendants later took the first word of the fief name as their surname, thus giving them the surname Ma.

Of course. In addition to the above surnames, the relationship between some surnames and Huangdi may be more complicated, with Li as the representative. According to legend, Li is a descendant of Zhuan Xu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and his immediate ancestor was a justice of the Yao Emperor. According to legend, Hao Tao is the grandson of Zhuan Xu. Because the judge at that time was called Dali, his descendants later took his occupation as their surname and changed his surname to Li to commemorate him. At the end of Shang Dynasty, one of his descendants named Li Zheng still served as a justice, because Shang Zhouwang offended the justice in law enforcement and was killed by Shang Zhouwang. Li Zheng's wife, Qihe's wife, fled with her son Li Zheng. She was so hungry on the way to escape that she had to pick fruit from the plum tree to satisfy her hunger. So as to save his life. Later, in order to commemorate this life-saving speech, Mei changed her surname to Li. Since then, it has been named Li.

In a word, we can find that all these legends are closely related to the Yellow Emperor. In fact, when it comes to the origin of surnames, every surname has endless words. Not just them.
