The Origin Family of Wang Huang

From the ancient yellow clothes. It belongs to totem.

In the eastern part of ancient China, there were many primitive people who took birds as totems and lived in this vast area, which was called Dongyi in ancient books. Among them, nine clans are the most powerful, forming a tribal alliance group, which is called Jiuyi in history books. According to the historical book Annals of Ancient Bamboo Books, these nine Yi people are Yi, Fang Yi, Bai, Chi, Xuan, Feng and Yang. Among them, Huang Yi is the oldest ethnic origin of Huang.

Huang Yi got this name because she worships yellow birds. Its birthplace is in the Xilamulun River basin at the source of the West Liaohe River, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain. There are all kinds of birds living in the ancient Youzhou area south of Yanshan Mountain in ancient times, one of which is called oriole, the yellow bird in oriole. This yellow bird is not only small and elf, but also bright in color and crisp and pleasant in sound. The first section of the classic "Poetry" describes it like this: "Ge Bei is applied to the middle valley, and Ye Sheng is born. The yellow bird comes and gathers in the bushes. It sings. " For the primitive ancestors who had been hunting in the mountains for a long time, this small and lively little yellow bird flew, jumped and sang in groups in the air forest, which brought natural humor and primitive pleasure to the ancestors. Their love for the yellow bird turned into respect, and later developed into worship, taking it as the patron saint and symbol of their own clan, thus becoming the totem of this clan. This clan is called the Yellow Bird Clan and the Huang Zu Clan, which is called Huang Yi, Huang Zu and Ren Huang for short, and has become a branch of Dongyi.

Where the yellow people live, the place names are mostly yellow. The Xilamulun River in the west source of Liaohe River was called Huangshui in ancient times and later changed to Huangshui. The seventy-first volume of the historical book "Record of Jehol" is introduced in this way: "The book of the New Tang Dynasty originated from the yellow characters and was quoted in the history of Liao and Jin Dynasties." The original name of Qingyi Tongzhi is different from the West Yellow River, so it is called Yellow. Later, Ren Huang migrated from the eastern part of Inner Mongolia to the southeast, entered Shandong Peninsula through Huangshan Mountain in the west of Gan 'an County and Huangqiu in Shulu County of Hebei Province, and joined Dongyi Group, becoming Huangyi, one of the Nine Yi. Today, there is an ancient imperial city in the southeast of Huangxian County in Shandong Province, Huangshan Mountain in the south of Yexian County, Huangshan Mountain in Xingbo County, Huangshan Mountain in Huangfu County and 30 kilometers southwest of Jinan. This area is where ancient Huang Yi lived.

In the Dongyi Group, the influence of the Huang people developed very rapidly and soon became a force in the Dongyi Group, so it was promoted to the leader of the tribal alliance. In the middle of barbarism, Jintian, Shao Hao of Fengyi clan was the leader of Dongyi tribal group. Huang Yi and Fengyi formed an in-laws clan, and later joined Shao Hao tribe. At that time, Dongyi people generally worshipped birds. Because the totem of Shao Hao clan, the leader of Dongyi ethnic group, is Phoenix, and Phoenix has become the king of birds and the god bird. Among the phoenix birds, there is a female bird named Huang (later written as Huang). This bird, like the yellow bird, is covered with bright yellow feathers, and the pronunciation of these two bird names is exactly the same. The Imperial Bird is the spouse of the Phoenix Bird, and it happens that Huang Yi is also the marriage family of Fengyi. With these similarities, similarities and similarities, the yellow race naturally replaced the ordinary little oriole, which was originally a clan totem, with the phoenix bird as the object of worship. In this way, the yellow bird became an emperor (phoenix) bird, and the totem of Huang Yi changed from oriole to golden phoenix.

When history entered the middle period of barbarism, around the time of the Yellow Emperor, when some members of the Oriental Yellow Tribe moved to the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, they all saw yellow: yellow plains, yellow mountains, and a Yellow River across the north of China, so people worshipped the earth and rivers and called it the Yellow River.

Because the Yellow People moved to the Central Plains and used the word "yellow", which was originally the color of oriole, to refer to the color of the earth, the annotation of Shuo Wen Jie Zi gave: "Yellow is also the color of the earth".

After Huang people joined Dongyi Group, they formed a marriage clan relationship with Dongyi Group. Later, the tribes in Shao Hao became more and more powerful, and Shao Hao became the leader of the Dongyi tribe. In this way, Huang Yi was reduced to the subordinate clan of Shao Hao tribe, and the relationship with Shao Hao Phoenix tribe changed from marriage clan to father-son clan. Therefore, Huang Yi took Shao Hao as his ancestor. "Song Shi Xue Ji" said: Shao Hao was a water official from generation to generation, and was sealed in Fenchuan when he changed the order, and was later honored as the god of Fenshui. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the descendants of Taiqian established Shen, Yi, Huang and other countries, which were later destroyed by Jin. Among them, the descendants of the Huang family took the country as their surname and became a branch of the Huang family, and Huang Yuan of the State of Jin was their descendants.

Shao Hao, born in the era of the Yellow Emperor, is a legendary mythical figure. There are different records about his deeds in various ancient books. Just his name, there are many different ways of writing in various ancient books, such as Shao Hao, Shao Hao, Shao Gao, Shao Ai, Bian, Shao Fu, Shao Hui and so on.

According to Zuo Zhuan and Ji of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his name is Zhi. Shao Hao's mother is called "Women's Day" in the history book "The Emperor's Century" and "Huang E" in the history book "Memory Notes". According to the history book Life in the Spring and Autumn Period and Yuan Dynasty, when the Yellow Emperor was born, a big star, such as a rainbow, flowed down to Zhu Hua (now Yanshan, Hebei). In the dream of Women's Day, this huge meteor fell on him, and Shao Hao was born. The first volume of the historical book "The Lost Book" even has a magical and lingering narrative: Huang E weaves the mysterious palace at night, or walks on a fork tree during the day. When she came to the vast poor mulberry pool, she met a child prodigy, beautiful and vulgar, who claimed to be the son of the white emperor, that is, the essence of the white star. The beautiful young man incarnated as a white star and descended into boundless water. It was love at first sight when he met oriole. Di Zi and the oriole sat side by side, stroking Tong Feng's guzheng, and the oriole sang songs according to the musical instruments, and the son answered the songs. From then on, I played with oriole and forgot to return. After enjoying a romantic life, oriole became pregnant and later gave birth to a son named Zhi. Born in poor mulberry (now Qufu, Shandong Province), also known as "poor mulberry" or "Sancho's family", he was the ancient ancestor of Huang.

When Zhi grew up, he became the leader of the Dongyi people. Later, the clan developed and became the leader of the Dongyi tribal alliance, and moved its capital from its original place to Qufu.

Shao Hao is a clan with birds as its totem. According to the historical book Zuo Zhuan, Tan Zi talked about the ancient clan marks: "My great-grandfather is too humble to stand upright, and I am suitable for birds, taking birds as my discipline and taking birds as my name." That is to say, on the day when Shao Hao ascended the throne, there was a strong wind blowing in the court. Shao Hao's family thought it was auspicious, so they took the phoenix bird as their god, the phoenix bird as their totem, and the bird as their name for each clan, calling their clan "the phoenix bird clan". There is a passage in the history book "Collection of Notes" similar to this: "E, born in, alias poor Sang, the first in Jin. Once upon a time, there were five phoenixes who gathered in the imperial court according to their colors, so they were called phoenix birds. "

The historical book Zuo Zhuan records Shao Hao's achievements: "The phoenix bird is upright, the mysterious bird's teacher is upright, Zhao Bo's teacher is sincere, the bluebird's teacher is enlightened, and the Dan bird's teacher is closed ... sharp tools are used, and people are alienated." The surname of Phoenix Bird is an official in charge of astronomical calendar. Xuanniao is an official in charge of vernal equinox and autumnal equinox; Zhao Bo is the official in charge of summer solstice and winter solstice; Jade Bird is the official in charge of Changsha and beginning of spring; Danniao's family is an official in charge of beginning of winter and beginning of autumn ... to improve the instruments, unify the scales and let the people get an average. This passage records Shao Hao's achievements in surveying astronomical phenomena, making calendars, developing production and establishing system standards. Among the five kinds of bird palaces, four points, four fingers, four qi and four passes, compared with four points (vernal equinox and autumnal equinox), four fingers (summer and winter), four qi (long summer in beginning of spring in the first half of the year) and four passes (beginning of autumn in beginning of winter in the second half of the year), the phoenix bird house is the main body to observe the time and determine the calendar, so it is said that the phoenix bird calendar is correct. This is Shao Hao's greatest achievement. The history book "The History of Taoism" also said that Shao Hao was the earliest tribe in ancient China to determine the stars. It once "measured the method, adjusted the gas, and traveled twenty miles for eight nights", and also listed Beichen as the most distinguished star position. Later generations defined tribal areas by the stars and people by the stars, all of which originated from this. Shao Hao's family is also a family that can compose music. Historically, Shao Hao once had a fun, which was called nine yuan.

In addition, a large number of myths and legends describe Shao Hao's great achievements in measuring astronomical phenomena and making calendars in various magical ways. According to the historical book "The Emperor's Century", Shao Hao was the leader of the Dongyi Tribal Alliance and died a hundred years later. Boyi, the leader of Dongyi nationality in Xia Dynasty, was the ancestor.

"The surname is urgent": "After Bo's death, Huang took the country as his surname. After Jin Shi Tian Hou, Tai Qian sealed Fenchuan, and later Huang Guo kept it. "

Boyi's father is Hao Tao. The theory of latent husband said: "Liang, Ge, Jiang, Huang ... all support Hao Tao."

Hao Tao is a famous legend in history. According to the historical book The Emperor's Century, he was born in the market in Shao Hao, Qufu. Qufu, Yan Di, so Shun Di gave it the surname Yan. According to the history books "Shi Ben" and "Talking about Yuan Jundao" by Liu Xiang, Hao Tao, an official of Dali, was guilty of five punishments, namely, he was responsible for the punishment of clan regime, prison and the rule of law. Legend has it that his appearance is turquoise, like a peeled melon. His lips are like a bird's mouth, which is a symbol of sincerity. He can understand human feelings and prison. The history book Lun Shi Heng Ying said that Hao Tao was in charge of the prison, and when the verdict was in doubt, he was ordered to make an angry decision. This fable is a sheep with only one horn. It is said that it is very clever and can distinguish right from wrong and confirm whether it is a crime. If the suspect is guilty, he will touch the corner. This method is very effective, so the classics call it a "one-corner holy beast" to help the supervision and test. History books say that there is no torture, no unjust imprisonment, no fear and no peace in the world. Appreciate his achievements, so he was appointed Gao, so he was also called Gao Yao. Because "Tao" and "Yao" were pronounced the same in ancient times, Tao and Yao were written. Hao Tao helped Yu Xia become the leader of the tribal regime in the Central Plains of China. Yu Xia was very grateful and appointed him as his successor. He was about to step down, but Hao Tao died at this time. After his death, he was buried in Lu 'an (now Lu 'an, Anhui). In ancient times, there was the tomb of Gao Tao, also known as Qin Gong.

Gave birth to six sons (one said three), the eldest son Boyi is the same ancestor of Huang, Zhao, Jiang and Qin.

Boyi, originally named Yi, has a good name, and the word redundant. He is a great hero in legend. When he was young, Boyi was very smart and wise. Lu Chunqiu, a history book, said that when he was old, he invented the method of sealing good and bad luck, and he was the first to invent drilling wells to get water. Some ancient books are very interesting about digging wells to get water. The history book Huai Nan Zi says: "Boyi digs a well to ascend the mysterious cloud and lives in Kunlun." Because Boyi was talented, Yu Xia recommended him to Shundi, the leader of the clan alliance regime in the Central Plains at that time, and Shundi sent him to assist Yu Xia in water conservancy. In the process of water control, Zuo Yu made great contributions. After the success of water control, he was rewarded and told Shun that Boyi also had credit. Shun gave Boyi a white flag and said, "Your children and grandchildren will surely prosper in the future!" Shun's words really worked. Later, Boyi's heirs were prosperous.

According to the history book Guoyu, Boyi can discuss everything to help Shun Di. Boyi comes from the bird family in Dongyi Shao Hao, so it is said that he can understand animals and talk to birds. The history book "Han Shu" says: "Bo Yi knows livestock." The history book "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" said: "The voice of Boyi is heard by birds." That's what I mean. This is the same as China's earliest history book Shangshu, which said that Boyi "tamed birds and animals with Shun, and birds and animals should be tamed more", so Shun appointed him as a danger officer. There is also a record in the history book "Mencius" that Shun sent Boyi as a fire officer, and Boyi set fire to mountains and rivers, forcing wild animals to flee, so that people living a nomadic animal husbandry life lived a life of peace and contentment. It is precisely for this reason that later generations revered him as "General of Hundred Insects", the god who protected people from wild animals, and built a temple to worship him.

Shun trusted and attached great importance to Boyi, married his beautiful daughter and gave Boyi a fee, so Boyi was also called, or.

After Shun, he inherited the leader of the Huaxia Tribal Alliance. In great trust, Boyi and his son. He originally planned to cede the throne to Hao Tao, but Hao Tao died unexpectedly. After that, he appointed Hao Tao's eldest son Boyi as the heir. In his later years, he awarded Yi government and made his son Xia Qi the minister. Yu Xia reigned for ten years and died while visiting the east. His last words were passed on to Boyi. According to legend, after three years of mourning for Yu Xia, Boyi gave way to Xia Qi and lived in seclusion in the north of Ji Mountain. With the support of China people, Xia Qi became the son of heaven. At this time, the first dynasty in the history of China, the Xia Dynasty, was established, the primitive clan society was finally replaced by the class regime, and the history of China entered a civilized era. After Xia Qi became emperor, he began to destroy Boyi's power. In the sixth year of Xia Qi, he killed Boyi. After Boyi's death, Xia Qi buried Boyi with a grand ceremony, and he was also "good at offering sacrifices to shrines", that is, offering sacrifices every year.

Although Boyi was killed, his family descendants were very prosperous, and more than ten surnames such as Huang, Zhao, Jiang and Qin were derived, all of whom respected him as the ancestor. It is a branch of the Huang family. According to "Daming unofficial history", the surname of Huang Cod was highly valued by the Ming emperor, and he was given the status of king's nobility. Seal Shaanxi as a fief, hereditary throne, and seal Xing. Xing has been passed down to this day.
