How did Wang Xing stand out from hundreds of surnames?

Jin, the son of the prince, was demoted to a civilian because of remonstrance. His son Jing Zong still holds the post of Si Tuleideng in North Korea. At that time, it was called "Wang" because it was a descendant of the royal family. This tribe took Wang as its surname. During the pre-Qin period, Wang Xing was always active in Luoyang, Henan. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yuan and Wang Wei, the sons of Wang Li, migrated to Langya, Shandong Province and Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to escape the war, and eventually developed into two prominent families of Wang Xing-Wang Langya and Wang Taiyuan. Ji surnamed Wang has three branches:

(1) originated after Bi Gong in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Wuwang's younger brother Bi Gong was made an official in the State of Qin. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Bi Wan, his descendant, was appointed as Situ in the State of Jin, and was given the title of State in the State of Wei. During the Warring States Period, Wei, Han and Zhao carved up the State of Jin. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed Wei, Wei Beizi, his grandson, fled to Mount Tai in Shandong. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Wei Beizi became an official and was sealed in Lanling County. Because after Wang, it was called "Wang", and since then it has been named Wang.

(2) It originated after Zhou Pingwang in the early Spring and Autumn Period. Zhou Pingwang reigned for 5 1 year, and the prince died young. After Zhou Pingwang's death, Sun Jichi succeeded to the throne, but Ji Chi's younger brother Ji Lin succeeded to the throne, known as King Huan of Zhou in history. Ji Chi went to the State of Jin, and his descendants changed their surname to Wang, because he was once a king. Before the Tang Dynasty, this Ji surnamed Wang lived in Linyi, Shanxi, and was called Wang Xing in Hedong.

It originated from Zhou's younger brother Huan. Huan Gong was unveiled in the city, and the ancient city is now Luoyang City Park. Although its fief was small, it was located in the west of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and was called Duke Huan of the Western Zhou Dynasty in history. After the death of the country, later generations moved to Yichuan and Zhaoru, Henan Province, and lived in the city and changed their surname to Wang, later known as Chengwang.

2. Some sources:

(1) Original surname. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang was dissolute. Bigan repeatedly made Yan Qiang protest and was killed. Because Bigan was originally a prince, his descendants took Wang as their surname. From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wang, the son of Wang, lived in Henan, forming a famous Wang family in Jixian County, and later spread to Gansu, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and other places.

(2) the source is the surname. Wang Gui is an important branch of Wang Xing, whose ancestor is Yu Shun. After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, Gui Man, a descendant of Yu Shun, was sealed in Chen, and Chen Wan changed his surname to Tian after becoming an official in Qi. After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Tian Shenghe, the son of the King of Qi, was changed from Tian to. This Wang Xing is based on Beihai and Qingzhou, and Wang Mang of Han Dynasty originated from this Wang Xing.

(3) It originated after Taizi Dan of Yan State. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped Han's independence, established a new dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. The great-grandson of Yan Taizi Dan is a famous woman. He gave his life, won the favor of Wang Mang and gave him the surname Wang.

(4) Ethnic minorities change their surnames. Wang Xing's extended family was infused with a lot of blood from ethnic minorities. Ethnic minorities mainly use Wang Xing: Xiongnu in Han Dynasty, Tonger in Xiqiang, Koreans in Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xianbei people, Yue people in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Abs people in Uighur people in Tang Dynasty, Khitan people, Jurchen in Jin Dynasty, Tangut people in Xixia in Northern Song Dynasty, Mongols in Yuan Dynasty and Manchus in Qing Dynasty. Wang Xing, a minority, was assimilated by Wang Xing, a Han nationality. There are many Wang Xing in the north of China, which is closely related to the priority of using Wang Xing when the northern nationalities change their Han surnames.
