Naming is a technical job, and the third surname is the strangest surname in China?

China's unique three surnames, naming is a technical job, and most people can't control it! Since ancient times, surnames have always been a symbol of the continuation of Chinese descendants' families. Surnames originated in Fuxi era more than 5000 years ago. It is said that Fuxi taught people to catch livestock for cooking. As the first person with a surname in the history of China, his real surname began with Fu. Surnames have been handed down from generation to generation since their birth. Many people's surnames change with the change of fiefs and official positions, so a person's descendants have several surnames, or father and son have different surnames. The appearance of surnames marks the transformation of ancient people from group marriage system to consanguineous marriage system, and has become a symbol and symbol of family consanguineous relationship.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, a scholar in Qiantang compiled the most common surnames into four-character poems, which were easy to read and remember. Because Emperor Zhao in Song Dynasty, King Wu Yue regarded Song as the wife of Zheng Shuo at that time, and Wang Li of Southern Tang Dynasty also worked for Song Zhengshuo, the ranking of the first surname among hundreds of surnames could only be decided according to the social situation at that time.

In addition, surnames were basically formed at that time. At first, 465,438+065,438+0 surnames were collected, and later it was increased to 504 surnames, including 444 single surnames and 60 compound surnames. After the founding of New China, there were 5,662 surnames, including 3,484 single surnames, 2,032 compound surnames and 146 three-character surnames. Among these surnames, three surnames sound strange, and naming them is a technical job that ordinary people can't control!

The first is the surname of the ghost, and the ghost is also called "Hou" and "Kui", and the ancient pronunciation is "wěi". Ghost surname is a multi-ethnic surname with many origins. The ancestor of the surname is ghost area, also known as ghost area. He was a courtier of the Yellow Emperor and the founder of Five Elements Medicine. He is good at the theory of five elements. It is said that he helped the Yellow Emperor to invent the Five Elements and elaborate on the pulse. He tried his best to study the difficult classics and regarded them as classics. His descendants took the tribal names given by their ancestors as their surnames, called them Shi Gui, and took Fenggui District as their ancestors.

Ghost is now pronounced gui, which stands for after death. Although it smacks of feudal superstition, people have a bad impression of this word in movies, literary works and reality. There are very few people by this name now. How to call it feels a kind of insidious terror, which most people can't control.

The second is to kill the surname, which is a typical minority surname, mainly from Xianbei and ethnic minorities. It is said that this surname originated in Korea during the Warring States Period. At that time, there was an official position called Killing Officer Xi, and the descendants of this official position always took the official name as their surname. It's just that many people feel angry when they hear the word murder, which is beyond the control of ordinary people. Even in this stable era, there are very few people who kill this surname, and naming it is also a very brain-damaging thing.

The third is the death surname, which is mainly distributed in the northwest of China and developed from the four-character compound surname of ethnic minorities in the Northern Wei Dynasty. This surname is a very old Xianbei surname, which is even more unpopular than the ghost surname. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it had been sinicized, and all ethnic groups were integrated into the Han nationality, but the population was very sparse. At present, the total population is less than 1000, which is only distributed in Luoyang, Kaifeng and wuzhong, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Because the name of this surname is so unique, the number of people has been decreasing. This surname is really beyond the control of ordinary people.
