In ancient countries, how were the titles and titles of governors determined?

China has a long history, and the dynasties are sporadic and complicated. The first thing the founder of each dynasty should do is to establish the country name (dynasty name). The title of a country is the title of a country. Historical records? Chronicle of the Five Emperors: "From the Yellow Emperor to Shun Yu, all people have the same foreign surname, taking Zhang Mingde as an example. What determines the name of the dynasty? There are roughly five reasons: from the names of tribes and tribal alliances, from the original divinatory symbols and the titles of founders; Originated from the original residence of the founder or the region ruled by the regime; Originated from clan relationship; It means good luck.

Specifically:

Xia: It is said that Yu was divined because he called his regime "Xia". According to the research of historians, Yu's son was called "Xia" only after he moved westward to Daxia (Fenyue area in the south of Shanxi).

Shang: According to legend, the ancestor of Shang (now south of Shangqiu, Henan Province) helped Yu to control water and was divined by Shang, and later called his tribe (or tribe) by "Shang". When the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Shang was the title of the country. After Pan Geng moved to Yin (now northwest of Anyang, Henan Province), it was also called Yin or Yin Shang.

Zhou: Zhou tribe went to Gugong? When he became a father, he moved to Joo Won? (now Qishan, Shaanxi). After the Yin Dynasty was destroyed, Zhou was taken as the name of the dynasty. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, its capital was established in Gao (now southwest of Shaanxi), and then it was moved from Pingdong to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan). Because it is in the east of Gaozhi, it is called "Western Zhou" and "Eastern Zhou".

Qin: According to Records of the Historian, Ben is an ancient tribe. Its leader is Zhou Yangmayou, who was given the surname "Won" by Zhou, and has a small piece of land (now Tianshui County, Gansu Province, nicknamed Longxiyu). Later, Xiang saved Zhou Yougong and was made a vassal. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established the State of Qin.

Han: Xiang Yu named Liu Bang Hanwang. Later, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and unified China, which was called "Han". Chang 'an is the capital of the early Han Dynasty, and Luoyang is the capital of the later Han Dynasty, so the capital has the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the former Han Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty in time.

Wei: Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty once named Cao Cao "Duke Wei" and "Wang Wei", and Cao Pi was called "Wei" after the Han Dynasty. Cao is the surname of the royal family, also known as "Cao Wei" in history.

Shu: Liu Bei takes Sichuan as his activity area, and Shu refers to Sichuan, and his regime is called "Shu". Also known as "Shu Han" in history. Chinese refers to the continuation of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wu: Sun Quan lives in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In history, when Wu was founded, Cao Wei named Sun Quan as "King of Wu", so it was called "Sun Wu" in history. Because of its location in the East, it is also called "Wu Dong".

Jin: The Wei Emperor was forced to call him "Duke Jin". After the destruction of Shu, he became the King of Jin. Later, his son Siyan inherited his title, forcing Wei Emperor to abdicate and become emperor himself, with the title of "Jin".

Sui: Yang Zhong, the father of Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, was once named "Duke of Sui" by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Later, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty also adopted this kind of divinatory image, which was called "following the DPRK". He thought that the meaning of "go with you" might be changed to "go with you".

Tang: Li Hu, the grandfather of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, was called "Duke Tang", and his title was passed on to Li Yuan. After the uprising in Taiyuan, Li Yuan claimed to be the "King of the Tang Dynasty", and later abandoned You Yang to build the Tang Dynasty.

Liao: Liao was originally called "Qidan", but it was changed to "Liao" because it lived in the upper reaches of Liaohe River.

Song Dynasty: After Emperor Gong succeeded to the throne in the later Zhou Dynasty, he was appointed as our ambassador to Germany. The German army was stationed in Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) and was appointed as our ambassador to Songzhou. Therefore, after the mutiny of Chen Qiao, he made his fortune in Songzhou and was named "Song".

Xixia: Tuoba Sigong occupied Zhou Xia (now Hengshan County, Shaanxi Province) and named it "Daxia" after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because in the west, Song people called it "Xixia".

Jin: Jin Capital is located in Ning, Jing Hui (now south of Acheng County, Heilongjiang Province). According to legend, its aquatic products are gold, and the word "Jin" in Jurchen means "crushing a tiger".

Yuan: According to the history of the Yuan Dynasty, the naming of Yuan was decided by Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu. It is the "Yuan" in the sentence "Great Gan Yuan" in the Book of Changes, which means great and first. However, some people think it is related to Mongolian customs and totems, while others think it is related to Buddhism.

Ming: Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the insurgents at the end of Yuan Dynasty, which was developed by inheriting Guo Zixing. Guo Zixing belongs to An Baili Sect. The White Lotus Sect declared that "darkness is about to pass and light is coming" to inspire people to oppose the dark rule of the Yuan Dynasty. So it is also called "Illuminati". Han called him "Wang Ming" (his son called him "Wang Xiaoming"), which reflected his purpose. Zhu Yuanzhang not only once believed in religion, but also admitted that he was a member of the rebel army (once deputy marshal Zuo). After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, the title of the country was "Ming".

Qing: Manchu is a branch of Jurchen nationality. The Jurchen nationality established the Jin State in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen forces regained their strength and rebuilt the State of Jin (the later Jin Dynasty). In order to expand outward, the late Jin Dynasty severed its vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty changed "Nuzhen" to "Manchuria" and "Jin" to "Qing". In the Song Dynasty, Jurchen was controlled by the Khitans. His generation pointed out that the word "Liao" means "iron" in the Khitan language, so it was named "Jin", which means it is stronger than iron and can overwhelm "Liao". There are different opinions on the reasons why "Jin" changed to "Qing". Some people think that Huang Taiji wants to avoid causing sharp contradictions.
