The origin of Wu surname in Wu genealogy

Witches have a long history. According to historical records, it is said in Biography of Life in the Spring, Autumn and Yuan Dynasties that the surname of the emperor is Wu Changzhi, and the Li, Li and Wu surnames in Biography of Lu Shen are the beginning of Wu surnames. There has always been conclusive evidence about the origin of Wu surname in surname literature. According to textual research on surname, origin of surname, Tongzhi's genealogy and Tongzhi's annals, there are three sources of Wu's surname:

First, it originated in ancient times and took technology as its surname. The ancients thought that all things were animistic, and they could make gods come through spiritual inspiration, so there appeared a profession of calling gods by dancing-witchcraft (the ancient prose of witchcraft) dancing is like a person waving two sleeves. Witch people take prayer and divination as their profession, and some of their descendants take "witch" as their surname. Most of the descendants of witches were in Xia and Shang Dynasties, and they still pursued praying for healing, and gradually became regular officials, or witches, or witches. Their descendants all take witches as their surnames. There are also people named "Chen Wu".

Second, it is said that there was a doctor Wu Peng in the Yellow Emperor, which was the beginning of the surname Wu.

Third, the minister of Shang Dynasty was a warlock, a warlock. According to legend, he invented the drum, the founder of divination and a famous astrologer. His descendants and descendants all take Wu as their surname and call it Wu. Some people take the official as their surname and call it Wu Xian's.

The above excerpt is from the origin of Wu surname in Hundred Family Names.

In addition to the above three situations, there is another record of the origin of Wu's genealogy: the ancestor Gan Gong of Wu is a descendant of Xuanyuan of the Yellow Emperor, and according to the Records of the History of Miro Taoism, wizards are distinguished from Tang Yu, and they are named Ba Yuan, Kui Bo, Shi Shen, Yan Long, Wu Ren, Ji Ya and Ji Ya. According to the present son, the county was chosen in Xianxian, Xiping and Qingzhou Mountain, and the Wu family was named Pingyang County, Shanxi Province.

According to the research of Surnames and Surnames Garden, Surnames Compilation, Genealogy and Wu Genealogy, in the final analysis, there are roughly four sources:

First, the descendant of the ancestor of witchcraft, whose representative figure is Wu Xian, in ancient times, because of the underdeveloped science and extremely low level of understanding, because of the mysterious natural phenomena, the "destiny view" that decided the fate of mankind sprouted. People always ask wizards to pray for God when they encounter major events, hoping that their good wishes can be realized through the help of the gods. Witch was the highest intellectual at that time, the authority of spiritual culture, and the controller and giver of education, art and science. In ancient tribal society, political sacrifices were integrated, and then political power and theocracy were separated. It is based on the teachings of Shintoism to promote theocracy and control people with bells. Theocracy is carried out by the history of witchcraft and is the predecessor of early ancient people. Ancient historians are sophisticated and knowledgeable, and they have deep ties with the elders in ancient and modern times. By practicing theocracy, they can control people's deviant behavior and thus control the friendly laws of the United States and Italy. In ancient times, female chiefs were witches, and witches were hieroglyphics of dragons. (storytelling) said, "Witches, witches wish, women (witches) can do intangible things (gods) can dance gods, like people dancing two sleeves, and work together." The word "witch" is used to refer to those who can talk to or comfort God and turn to pray and serve people, because they have the meaning of commanding gods and creatures between heaven and earth. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" also said that Wu Xian was a diviner, and the diviner respected Wu Xian as the first divination. Note on Li Sao: Wu Xian, a Yao man in Tang Dynasty, is famous for divination. He can prolong people's happiness and illness, know their life and death, and judge whether they are gods according to their age. Emperor Yao honored them as magical witches and made them beautiful. He was sealed in this mountain before his death and buried in this mountain after his death, and named the place where Wu Xian lived as Wu Xianguo. Wu Xian's son was naturally the king of Wu Xianguo, and was later incorporated into Wu County by Pakistan. "Shan Hai Jing Wild West Jing" contains: In the wild land, there is a mountain called Fengju Yumen, where the sun and the moon enter. There are Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Yi, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Gu Wu, Zhen Wu, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie and Wu Luo. Since then, ten witches have risen and fallen, and they love all kinds of medicines. In Shan Hai Jing, Wu Xian is the leader of the witch group and the founder of Hongyi. Most of the descendants of these witches take Wu as their surnames, but some take Bu, Zhu and Xian as their surnames. According to "Surname Garden", there was a wizard named Wu Xian in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and some descendants took Xian as their surname. In Xian's surname garden, it was said that it was discovered in the East China Sea after Wu Xian. Now both Wu and Xian are descendants of Wu Xian.

Second, the descendants of the medical ancestor, represented by Wu Peng, the prime minister of the Huangdi era, is also the earliest prominent figure of Wu in history books. In the era of the Yellow Emperor (2690 BC), there was a man named Wu Peng who treated injuries by observing animals eating plants themselves. He invented Chinese herbal medicine to treat diseases. Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, respected him as a god because of his excellent medical skills, and named him a happy doctor. He is the originator of Chinese medicine for five thousand years. There are also famous doctors visiting Wu: fine medical skills, writing children's cranial septum, can occupy life, distinguish between life and death. Wu, passed down from generation to generation, is the oldest pediatric medicine in China.

Third, the emperor gave the surname system. In ancient times, the son of heaven gave his surname and his surname was Sheng. The princes are full of words, so they are home, and officials have merits, so they have bureaucrats, or they live in the city, noble and noble. Surname and surname are separated, and surname is a branch of surname. After three generations, surnames began to merge into one. According to the History of Miro Daoism, this wizard is a genius of Gao Xin family, and he was famous in Tang Yu. In 2435 BC, he was a wizard, and he was descended from Di Ku. He is called Ba Yuan, Zhu Bo, Shi Shen, Shu Xi, Yan Long, Yi Wu, Ji Ya, Yu Yue and Yu Bu, and the opening and closing with Ba is called Sixteen Phases (also known as Sixteen Schools). In addition, it is also recorded in the mythical classical novels that four concubines were married: Yuan Fei had the Shao family, the woman's name was Jiang Yuanrang (that is, Hou Ji), and her later son Tai. The second concubine is Hubei, named Judie and Sanzang, the third concubine is Chen, the female concubine is Shengyao, the fourth concubine is Guan, and the female concubine is Chang Yi and Shengguan. In the second wing, one gave birth to two sons, Kuiba and Shishen, and one gave birth to three sons, Uncle Drama, Yan Long and Wu Nan. Later, he married He and gave birth to ten sons: Bofen, Zhongkan, Jizhong, Bohu, Zhongxiong, Xuyan and Leiyue. According to the mythical classical novels and the records of Wu's genealogy, it can be considered that Wu Renhe and Wu Gan are the same person, with the same name and the same word, and they are descendants of Xuanyuan of the Yellow Emperor.

Fourth, it evolved from Wu Ma's compound surname. In the bureaucratic system of the Zhou dynasty, there was an official in charge of raising horses and treating diseases, named Wu Ma, that is, horse doctor. The descendants of Wuma, some of whom gave their surnames with the official names of their ancestors, are called Wuma. Later, it gradually formed a single surname witch. Wuma's aristocratic family lives in Luxian County. The land was established in the Western Han Dynasty, and the three kingdoms changed to land counties in Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is equivalent to Shandong now. Mashi Wu: A famous person in the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is a disciple of Confucius. He was a prime minister in Lu, and he also had political achievements.

According to the ancient myth "Dayu governs water", in the era, there was a tribal leader named Wu in the Jianghuai valley. He was proficient in astronomy and geography and was as powerful as nine elephants. Especially rich in knowledge of hydrology and water conservancy. He knows the hydrogeology of all rivers and lakes in the Huaihe River basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River like the back of his hand, and is known as the water god and monster. Dayu adopted Wu Zhi-shui's suggestion. In the past, water was used to block water, and floods could not be cured. Later, Dayu consulted Wu, who told him to use the method of "dredging" and told Yu about the geological conditions, key sections and excavation road maps of various rivers. Only according to Wu's plan did Dayu cure the flood for many years. Wu has three sons: Chang Jianping, Ci Huan Hu, and San Benyun, all of whom are very powerful, with high martial arts, vast magical powers and overbearing. Within a thousand miles, all tribes listened to his orders and were controlled by him, occupying the entire Huaihe River basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, from Tongbai Mountain south to Yunmeng osawa, and even to Hunan Water Source. Because Wu's childlike father and son were too overbearing, he sent Yu to conquer, and Yu could not be an enemy. Later, the gods (referring to tribes) fought against witches and supported Qi, and the third son was defeated and captured. It is recorded in China's classical mythical novel "The Water Beyond": When Yu Wang was on a southern tour, the princes met in Tushan, and the generals arranged for them to go out and get the car. In 24 Wang Zizhong, there is Wu Li Hou Chun. About 3600 years ago, Wang Shangtaiwu and Zu Ti began to use Hsien Wu and Hsien Wu as prime ministers respectively, and Sima Qian recorded it in Historical Records and Yin Benji of Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Taizu succeeded to the throne after the death of his younger brother Yongji, but he was arrogant and unruly, and his politics gradually lost. One day, a mulberry tree suddenly became entangled with a valley tree in the yard and grew as thick as two palms overnight. Everyone was deeply surprised that Sanggu was a wild tree and was born in the palace. Emperor Taizu thought it was not a good sign when he knew it. Could it be a sign of national decline? He was afraid, so he asked the prime minister Yi Si first. Yi Yin primly replied: The emergence of rare phenomena is related to the monarch's failure to restore the king's government. Now the monarch should cultivate his virtue at once. Later, Yi Kuang told Minister Hsien Wu how to rectify the misconduct of Emperor Taizu. Hsien Wu wrote several articles such as "Xian Yi" and "Taiwu", telling the way of governing the country and exhorting Emperor Taizu. At the suggestion of the two ministers, Emperor Wu finally got rid of evil and did good deeds, cultivated self-cultivation, revived the Shang Dynasty, and made the princes submit. Three years after Hsien Wu and nothing helped to govern the country, all the countries of the four nationalities sent envoys to pay the money. Seventy-six people, large and small, were retranslated, and all the princes came to congratulate them!

Enter the number of Zhongzong. During Hsien Wu's administration, he cultivated himself in politics, was honest and upright, looked at the ruling and opposition parties, overhauled Tang Wang's canon, benefited from benevolent government, ruled the world and revived the country. Wu Xianqin was in power for 90 years and died of illness. Ming Taizu Zuyi gave Wu Xian a gift to ask for Hou Yi. He also named Wu Xian, the son of Wu Xian, as Prime Minister. When Wu Xianfu assisted Emperor Zuyi, he advocated that the country should be well governed, the whole people should be at peace, the princes should be served, and the world would be one. Since then, the business road has been revived, admired by all and passed down from generation to generation! During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after Qu Yuan, a doctor of Chu State, was exiled, he even hurt the country and worried about the people. In "Li Sao", he once called, the witch is salty, and when dusk falls, pepper should be added! Wu's "Customs Pass" said: There are Wu Xian as the business officials, and Wu Xian and later took Wu as his surname. Wu Xian's family ((the clan is abbreviated)) cloud: Wu Xian was a young man, and later he took the official as his surname. Zheng Kangcheng was a witch official, and Confucius said: Xian and Xian are ministers, so they will never be witches. Kong Anguo wrote: Wu Jiaye. Ma Rong is known as the sorcerer of Yin, and the number of days in Official Book is sorcery and salty in Shang Dynasty. When Shu Junshuang was in Shang Zuyi, wizards, wizards and potters helped Wu custom children.

There are other legends about Wu Xian. Some people say that he is a politician, a strategist, a scientist, a musician, an artist, a mathematician, a physician and an astronomer, while others say that he is the inventor of the drum and the geographical compass. He of Tang Yu, Kunwu of Xia Dynasty and Wuxian of Shang Dynasty in the Book of Jin all hold astronomy, and three star maps, Wu Shi and Yi, have been handed down. Zou Huai's Almanac contains the star maps of Wu Xian's 10th and 9th constellations, which is the first astronomical survey. Wu was one of the founders of astronomy.

According to (surnamed Yuan) records, Yin Taiwu invited Wu Xian to pray in the mountains and rivers, and Xianwu lived here for Xianmin, as far away as the South China Sea. Examination ((Historical Records)) Justice: Wu Xian's father and son are buried in the northwest of Changshu County, Jiangsu Province, on Yushan Mountain, and the second male is Wu Renye. In Changshu County, there are two temples ((Liangxiang Temple)), also known as Wugong Temple, and the 18th Temple is listed as the first temple.

From all kinds of situations, we can see that the origin of Wu surname is related to its official position in witchcraft history and divination. Wu surname evolved from occupation and official position, and was also a noble family in ancient times, as far as the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. The word "witch" is an ancient surname in China, which means that man is connected with heaven and earth. In ancient times, the witch clan had a glorious era, which had a great influence, spread widely and had a long history. Witches have a high status. Witches are inseparable from politics. Witches also engage in noble social occupations. Witches had a high status from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Shang Dynasty. In Shang dynasty, there were Wu Xian, Wu Xian, father and son, who presided over state affairs and held power, and there were also some doctoral officials. These ancestors of the Wu family, who learned literature and helped the world, were ministers who benefited the people and the country. This is the heyday of the Wu family.
